Problem: Article: If you don't know someone very well, it can be hard to determine if they're being sarcastic. However, this can also mean that they're less likely to joke or use sarcasm with you. People you're familiar with or joke with often are more likely to use sarcasm, so keep this in mind. People tend to avoid sarcasm in professional situations. Exaggerated remarks are often a sign of sarcasm, especially if the person is responding to an obvious question. For example, you might say, "You probably don't want to pull an extra shift, do you?" The person may sarcastically respond with, "Yes! There's nothing I'd love more than to pull a double on my day off." People use sarcasm to deal with a variety of situations, but you'll probably notice more sarcasm after something bad happens or someone makes a mistake. Someone might make a sarcastic comment after another person points out the obvious. If something annoying happens, they might say, "That's just what I need right now." If something expected happens, they may reply, "Who would have thought!" If a person makes a mistake, they might say, "Oh, really good job!" If someone points out something obvious, the person may say, "Wow. Did you figure that out for yourself?" Most sarcastic comments are condescending, judgemental, or not meant to be taken literally. Think about how their comment made you feel. Sarcasm usually makes you look or feel foolish. For example, someone might tell their sloppy partner, "I just love getting to put your things back where they belong. How else would you be able to then toss them on the floor?"
Summary: Expect sarcasm from friends rather than strangers. Pay attention to overly positive or negative language. Listen for sarcasm in stressful or tense situations. Determine if the person is being critical.

Problem: Article: There are essentially two different ways that you can share a file that you've uploaded to your Drive: you can share it with specific Drive users, or you can generate a link that anyone can use to access the file. This will open the file's details. You can type in names from your Google contacts or add email addresses. Email invitations are sent to each person that you add. If the recipient is not a Google Drive user, they will be invited to create a free account. This will open your device's Share menu, allowing you to add the link to a new email, text message, or any other method of sharing installed on your device. You can also choose to copy the link to your device's clipboard, allowing you to paste it somewhere manually. If link sharing is enabled for the file, you can set the permissions for users who visit the link. If you have shared the file with specific people, you can set each of their access permissions individually. You may need to tell the recipient how to download the file, as clicking the link to open it won't download it automatically. To download a file opened in Google Drive, click or tap the "Download" button at the top of the window. If the file opens in Google Docs or Google Sheets, it will need to be downloaded through the File menu.
Summary: Understand how files are shared on Google Drive. Tap the next to the name of the file you want to share. Tap "Add people" to invite people to download the file. Tap "Share link" to send a link to the file. Adjust permissions in the "Show has access" section. Download the file.

Problem: Article: Creatinine is a waste product produced by the body when creatine, a metabolism substance that helps convert food into energy, breaks down. Usually, your kidneys help filter creatinine out of the blood. The waste product is then passed out of the body via urine. High creatinine levels can indicate a problem with your kidneys. High creatinine levels can be the result of regularly consuming a high amount of protein or partaking in strenuous exercise. Creatine supplements may also increase levels of creatinine in blood and urine. A creatinine test measures how much creatinine is in your blood. Your doctor may also perform a creatinine clearance test, which measures the amount of creatinine in your urine. The amount in your blood should be low, and the amount in your urine should be high. These tests only provide a "snapshot" of your kidney health. They only measure the amount of creatinine in your blood and urine from one-time samples taken within the past 24 hours. The normal range for creatinine levels will vary based on whether you are an adult male, adult female, teenager, or child. The value you should be at may vary further based on your age and body size, but there are general ranges you should shoot for. Normal blood creatinine levels are: Men: 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL; 53 to 106 mcmol/L Women: 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dL; 44 to 97 mcmol/L Teenagers: 0.5 to 1.0 mg/dL Children: 0.3 to 0.7 mg/dL Normal urine creatinine levels are: Men: 107 to 139 mL/min; 1.8 to 2.3 mL/sec Women: 87 to 107 mL/min; 1.5 to 1.8 mL/sec Anyone above the age of 40: levels should drop by 6.5 mL/min for every additional 10 years of age There are several different reasons why you might have increased creatinine levels; some of these conditions are more severe than others, but all mean that you need to take steps to get your creatinine levels back to normal. Renal failure or impairment: If your kidneys are damaged, they cannot filter creatinine out of your body through glomerular filtration as they are supposed to. Glomerular filtration is the outflow of filtered fluid passing through your kidney. Muscle destruction: If you have a condition that causes the breakdown of your muscles, the broken down muscle tissue can get into your bloodstream and impair your kidneys. High intake of meat: Eating a diet rich in cooked meat can increase the amount of creatinine in your body. Hypothyroidism: Having a dysfunction in your thyroid gland can have an influence on your kidney function. Hypothyroidism can decrease your kidneys' ability to properly filter waste out of your body.
Summary:
Know what creatinine is. Understand how the test works. Interpret your results. Understand why increased creatinine levels occur.
