1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Dunno about OP, but the advent of Long COVID comes with a 5x increase in new diagnoses of POTS. Lotta new passengers on the electrolyte train. On high symptom days, I have a junkie-like relationship with calcium antacids and salt shakers.
What's pots?
I appreciate you asking. Excellent explainer here.
I see, thanks, never heard of it.
How does Gatorade help with that?
Mostly the treatment required a fluid intake increase and salt intake increase. Put almost too simply, electrolytes are just fancy salts
Electrolytes can help you retain fluid within your vasculature, which helps with pots bc it increases your blood pressure until you pee it out
fuck yeah electrolyte gang
It sounds like it was necessary for OP because their Gatorade consumption was too low.
Now this is appropriate content for this community. Well done, dullster.
The first air tight container was too big?
Yeah, last time I bought one the powder captured enough moisture that the can corroded. I only drink it about once a week so there's powder sitting for a while
You can order food safe packets of silica beads to absorb moisture
Ben’s wife swears by them.
I hate that I understood that
I don't and I want to know. TELL ME!!!!
Ben Shapiro once tweeted that the vagina should not be wet during sex, and he said his doctor wife is the one who told him that, and everyone mocked him relentlessly for it.
I'm not sure who I feel more sorry for in that story.
Nobody, they all are in it voluntarily.

Lmfao what is this magical place
This is probably unnecessary. The powder itself should be very shelf stable so I would have just repackaged it in vacuumed sealed bags or get an attachment to vacuum seal the jars (vs heat canning).
That would cost money
Unlike heating your oven
Maybe it's his neighbor's oven?
In the ballpark of 40 cents, less if OP is making his own energy.
Actually, even less is he slid these in after baking a lovely lasagna.
On the other hand, maybe hassling OP over his choice of method to preserve some electrolyte powder wasted the most energy.

Ziplocks and straws are usually kicking around.
You don't even need to vacuum seal it.
Just a silica pack would be more than enough.
Source: bought a few containers on sale a few years ago, all are fine.
Just closing the lid on those jars is probably overkill tbh.
Just got that vacuum sealer mason jar attachment and use it every day for coffee. Love it!
If for nothing else over OP's method of choice, with the sealer, you can take what you want and reseal without heating up a whole oven every time.
Credit to OP for using what tools they had available, but if this method improves your situation, they'll be spending more time hearing and sealing it than drinking it, plus repeated heat cycles may possibly degrade the product.
I really gotta start using mine. I keep forgetting I own it.
I use it for the coffee beans and to seal a pour over every night so I have a non watered down cold brew for the morning ready to go.
I chop bags of onions into half onion portions and celery and carrots into 2 piece portions for soups and stews. Tomato paste into 3oz portions. Curry paste into portions for individual recipes. We make vodka sauce into a 4x recipe and freeze that. Yesterday I made a full instant pot batch if black beans and frozen them into can sized portions of refried beans. Mine has a pulse function so I reseal chip bags.
I use it a lot and need to find dedicated counter space for it. Start looking at stuff that you think would either work better if it were available in single use form or stuff that is a pain to make but freezes well.

Ditto mason jar vacuum sealer. So convenient!
I have a core memory of chipping away at the brick of what had previously been powdered Gatorade that had since formed into a single solid mass after sitting in the pantry for several months.
Isn't it meant to get wet?
TWSS
i don't know what that stands for, so i just read it like you said it as a word. still works.
That's what she said
okay, that's cool i guess? but who is "she" and why did shey say "twss"?
TIL: powdered Gatorade exists.
