You're comparing the caffeine content of a 30oz drink to a 16 oz and 12 oz respectively. Red bull is 111. Monster is 86. I had gotten these charged lemonades regularly before these lawsuits. Know what was on the machine when you went to get it? The exact caffeine content. The entire time. Always. It was pretty clearly marketed as having about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee if you drank a cup of coffee worth. If these specifically need to be marketed as energy drinks, then so does coffee. A standard cup of coffee has 100-150 mg of caffeine.

The first time I had a full 30 oz serving of the mango one I felt like I was vibrating. I decided from that point on to only get half and fill the rest with unsweetened tea. There absolutely should be clearly marked caffeine content in things. And we live in a litigious society. I'm pissed because now I have to ask one of the employees to get these for me instead of me just being able to serve myself....like I can their coffee.

How I made the decision: asked myself do I want to have children because that is what I want or because that is what is expected/wanted by others? For me, it was the latter. I have been incredibly happy with the decision, though I'm also incredibly fortunate and privileged to be in the spot my partner and I are in.

My partner and I had the luxury of me being in grad school as the "excuse" for why we hadn't had kids. Then student loans. But at a certain point that was unfair to us and our parents. My partner is an only child so her parents won't have grandkids. I have a brother who has kids.

Avoiding uncomfortable conversations and putting the wants of other people before yours is something we all do. However, doing that with bringing a whole living being is, in my opinion, a recipe for fucking disaster.

If you want kids because you want to, then you should. If you don't want kids because you don't, then you shouldn't. If your partner is on a different wavelength, you need to have a very adult conversation. The decision to bring a life into this world (especially at this point) is huge. This is also not a conversation to convince the other person you're right (this goes for your partner too).

I hope you are able to make this decision in a way that fits best for you.

Kinda crazy to see Stanford, KY on here! I did a semester long practicum at Lincoln county highschool.

And it makes the sunset really pink, because of the air pollution! But the the main question is, is it worth it?

Allows for steam to be released. Steam is what helps the crust form the way it did and to get a good oven spring. Steam is very important in bread making and home ovens vent too much. So put the dough in a ditch oven with ice (so the stream is caught) and then be in heaven when you realize you can make a great loaf of bread at home! I've only used ice a handful of times though.

It's been a minute, but the guy wrote an open letter that was long enough to put in book form, A Letter to a Christian Nation.

Disclaimer: I haven't kept up with his stuff since the late 2000's so can't speak to more recent offerings of his or his views, just figured it's worth pointing out.

That's enough Jerry, now you're just playing around.

I transitioned from an elliptical to the treadmill. Knees are in rough shape and it took about 4 weeks for them to get sore after pushing a little too quick and not getting proper rest. Probably wasn't doing enough stretching either. Inside of my knee is where it hurt so don't think it was an IT band issue.

Listened to my body, that's the fitness victory. Knee feels better 7 days since my last run and just in time to set off of a thru hike of the Uinta Highline Trail on Sunday. Hella excited for the adventure too!

I call it my God hole.

Just manager.

Inny Minny miny...?
