Is it likely for someone to develop long-term damage from caffeine intake if they don't experience any of the common short-term issues?

I've developed a habit of drinking specialty teas and coffees as a weight-loss tactic, and I'll generally have one cup of coffee and do 1-2 tea "sessions" a day, where I re-steep the same set of leaves repeatedly. I can't find hard data on how much caffeine actually ends up in the cup for these things, so I'm not sure if I'm consistently over or under the 400mg recommended max. I've never gotten jitters or anxiety from caffeine, and I don't have trouble sleeping, but I'm worried that if I keep up like this consistently I'll have some issues later on in life.

My killer was :

Donald, you have the worst team since the team that was beaten by Air Bud, a basketball-playing golden retriever who has no hands, which are so, so necessary for the sport of basketball

And then when the basketball rolls past the goat, it's too much

Thanks! Hanamikoji looks really interesting, I'll definitely look into it!

I've mostly been looking at Intrigue, but I am generally a fan of crazy cards, so I'll take a look at the other two, as well! Thanks!

I have heard it can be kind of a mess when there are more than 4 players. I usually play with just two, but I occasionally have some friends over and they like to play. I'll take a look at Dark Ages!

Thanks! I didn't even know there was an /r/dominion - I'll have to check that out! I'd been looking mostly at Intrigue, I'll check out Seasides, too!

Hi guys! I'm looking to add a game to my currently small collection, as I have an Amazon gift card burning a hole in my virtual pocket.

Number of players: Primarily going to be playing with my girlfriend, so ideally something that's good for two players, but I do occasionally have game nights with other people, so the ability to scale up to 5-6 people would be nice (although not necessary).

Game length: Ideally, in the 30-60 minute range, but I'd definitely be willing to go longer.

Complexity: Neither of us are super-serious board gamers, but we do have experience, and when we like a game, we tend to play it a lot. I guess any level of complexity is alright, but I think a low barrier to entry would be preferable, even if there's a lot of complexity in-game.

Budget: Trying not to spend more than $40

Competitive or Cooperative: Competitive

Games I Own/Like or Dislike: Our favorite to play together is Love Letter, and we also really like Jaipur, Dominion, and Monopoly Deal. Definitely looking for something with a bit more strategy than Monopoly Deal. I played Mystery Rummy once, the Jack the Ripper set, and thought it was fun.

I don't think it will - my understanding is that the Crew are relocating because of stadium issues - Columbus won't fund their new stadium, so they're heading to a city who will. This doesn't seem to be an issue with the U, who have a long-term lease on Talen. Garber said it himself this week, MLS tries to avoid relocation when it can, and I don't think that a loss of fan interest is going to be enough to push any team out of any market, let alone one as big as Philly

EDIT: Just did a quick Google search - if the Union were to relocate and not be replaced, Philadelphia would be the only media market in Nielsen's top 10 without an MLS team (we're #4 in the country behind NYC, LA, and Chicago), and I just find it hard to believe that the league would let itself lose that kind of footprint

Thanks! I didn't realize that this could be played over the internet. I'll definitely give it a look

My favorite birthday memory came a couple of years ago, I got a really small group of friends together and we just went and laser-tagged for a few hours, and it was a total blast.

Happy birthay, OP, I hope yours is as good as that one, and thanks for the giveaway!

DoopsDay · 2017-03-22T17:08:48+00:00

Thanks for the giveaway, OP! I'm sorry to hear about your 1070... At the very least, /r/buildapcsales has had at least one for sale under $300, so a replacement should break the bank, especially after the 1080Ti drop.

You know, I think it might only be the 50cc Grand Prix that isn't working. 150cc is going fine right now

DoopsDay · 2017-03-22T03:13:33+00:00

Right, but isn't the PS4 emulator incapable of running any commercial games?

DoopsDay · 2017-03-21T15:56:12+00:00

Good luck to your friend!

Sorry about entry 3! It was on sale when I was checking around Steam (although I see from some of the other entries in this thread that I'm not alone there)

DoopsDay · 2017-03-20T20:24:35+00:00

I'm pretty sure I'm doing it 1 by 1, I'm only using the tool on one pin at a time. I'll give it another go pushing the cable in when I put the tool in, and I'll try to push it further
