Check your flatpak permissions for starters.

Flatpak apps operate more like containers and not a full blown sandbox, unless that has changed recently.

This is an interesting blog post on the subject: https://hanako.codeberg.page/

Also, try flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox to see if you can launch a browser manually.

Disclaimer: It’s been a bit since I have used flatpak, so take that into account. However, I do work in security by trade, so my quick notes may point you in a decent direction at a minimum.

My average intake on a slow evening was a 9 or 15 pack of Coors pint cans, so 144oz or 240oz.

These days, I stick to water. However, you probably have never seen someone who can consume as much as I can, casually. I’ll drink two pints of water at the refrigerator when I go for a glass, then fill that again and go back to doing whatever I was doing. (I won a ton of beer drinking bets. A pint of whatever is easily drank at between 3 and 5 seconds. My ability to consume any beverages is basically superhuman and likely a contributing factor to my brush with alcholisim.)

You buy a couple full cases of beer at a time, for starters. 72 (or more) beers might last a few days.

Keystone is basically just a water-beer and chain drinking those is fairly easy since cheap lager is shit once it gets warm. There is motivation to drink, is what I am saying.

But yeah, his numbers are about average for most “serious” beer drinkers I know. TBH, I am surprised that you are surprised. However, I didn’t grow up in a very healthy environment and norms are just a matter of perception.

I absolutely can’t argue with what gives you worse hangovers. That’s between you and your body.

Gatorade absolutely does have electrolytes: sodium and potassium. The problem is that alcohol depletes many more than just those. Pedialyte isn’t much better with only the addition of chloride. If a person is a less than moderate drinker, water is likely just fine and any extra electrolytes would get pissed out anyway.

If you drink long enough and hard enough, hangovers aren’t a thing. It’s not that hangovers go away, it’s that they become a normal part of life and your body will eventually just tune it out.

At the end of my drinking career, I could black out multiple times a week and still be “normal” the next morning and didn’t care or even notice if I was hungover or not.

For me, hangovers kinda morphed into something else entirely: dependency. That plays a huge part in muting anything that a normal person would feel, I am fairly sure.

But no, I don’t drink anymore and haven’t for a few years now. If I do ever drink again, hangovers absolutely won’t be a thing because I’ll likely be dead in a couple of days anyway.
