    If a person drinks 3 liters of water a day for their whole life, that’ll be about 100k liters total. Assuming it takes about a minute of actual drinking time to finish a liter, that’s only 100k minutes, or 1,667 hours of drinking time, so it’s no wonder we’re not experts.

      This is especially true with sleep. It seems the more hours of sleep I log, the more injured I am when I wake up.

      I saw Sam Maloof do a seminar at his shop. He’d run his fingers into the jointer yet again. Doctors were upbeat about it, told him he was making a remarkable recovery …for an 83 year old (decades ago).

      IIRC the 10k hours rule also says you have to be trying to get better. You can’t just do something 10k hours without thought and be good. That is if you believed in the 10k hour rule in the first place.

    10k hours of actual drinking fluids seems pretty absurd, to be honest. Like I’ll throw out random numbers of 30 seconds to drink 8 oz of water. That means to make 10k hours you’d have drank 9.6 million oz of fluids.

    That’s 75k gallons. That seems a bit excessive.

    I usually won’t cough but I still haven’t got the hang of drinking from a wide open topped container without spilling any on me.

      I’ve at least gotten better at not knocking the whole damn glass everywhere.

    Only 9.99999 more years of this and you’ll really be getting somewhere.
