NYTimes New Year's Eve https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/03/opinion/simple-health-advice.html2020 laws that give us hope for the year ahead
Bye forever, 2019. The start of our latest decade has already ushered in a slate of new laws that give us hope for rectifying some of the general chaos that was the 2010s. Of course, plenty remains unfixed. In Tennessee, for example, a new law makes it easier for people to get a concealed carry permit.
As we forge ahead, though, here’s a recap of some of the new laws that are already brightening our new year.
First, there’s a big win for the non-binary community: As of Jan. 1, residents of New Hampshire can now mark their sex on their driver’s licenses as X, instead of M (Male) or F (female), if they identify outside of the gender binary. Read more…More about Social Good, 2010s, Laws, New Year, and 2020
If you want to drink more water, get a water bottle with a handle
“Drink more water” is a nice New Year’s resolution. It’s simple, it’s free, and it’s pretty much guaranteed to make you feel better. But if reaching constantly for your reusable water bottle — and it should be a reusable water bottle — isn’t already habit, you might want to buy a bottle that’s super easy to tote around. Like, literally tote. You should buy a water bottle with a handle or loop.
The big issue with drinking more water (for me, anyway) is remembering to do it. I like drinking water: It tastes like nothing, makes my mouth feel good, gives me the impression that my skin is in better condition than it actually is, and allows me to talk about hydration an amount that’s annoying to others and perfect to me. Unfortunately, I am also fundamentally lazy. In order to drink enough to experience these benefits, water must be immediately accessible to me at all times.

'Friends' is off Netflix. Here's where you can still watch.
Welcome to a New Year and … no Friends on Netflix?
Starting Jan. 1, if you’re in the U.S. you can no longer watch New York City’s most beloved fictitious friend group and listen to Phoebe’s smelly cat songs on Netflix.
Instead you’ll have to buy (online or IRL) Friends DVDs and Blue-rays from sellers like Amazon, Walmart, and Target. You can also catch up (or let’s be honest, re-watch your favorite 10 episodes of Friends on loop) through online platforms like Amazon Video, Apple TV, Google Play, and Vudu.
Or (gasp!) you can actually watch episodes as they air regularly on networks such as TBS and Nickelodeon. It’s like going back in time! Read more…More about Entertainment, Netflix, Friends, Hbo Max, and Entertainment
