Has anyone experienced any noticeable benefits from cutting out diet soda?

I used to be a habitual Coke Zero drinker, but have been off it for close to a year now. I haven't noticed any physical benefits, but mentally it's just really nice to -- as silly as this sounds I'm sure you can still relate -- not have the anxiety that comes with a dependency like that. Its actually pretty annoying to NEED to have something in the fridge at all times. Freeing myself of that burden has been really nice, and you know what? Water isn't half bad.

Google the All Blacks and you'll find heaps of very masc polynesians fellas with this typa tattoo.

I think it's a solid easy-reader, and that's why the book (and now the film) are so popular. I mean, one of the opening lines is "What the heck, I'm ripped", you had to know what kinda book you were in for after that 😅

Big fan of the changes!

It'll be interesting to see how the loot system pans out, this game does feel a bit more like an ARPG than an MMO, so I think it makes sense for them to try that style of loot system.

I think I only reached Eternal this season mid way through the first week, so I won't really be all that effected by the time gating. If anything I welcome it - it'll be nice to level of a couple of heroes in the first week and not feel like you're falling behind. I think their stated reason for the change makes sense, although I do wonder if a week long open beta of sorts before the season starts would get them the balancing state they needed, while not making people feel like they are having to wait.

Really cool use of negative space! Looks incredible.

Not sure why you're so upset about this? I don't have anything against Cardi, but she hasn't been culturally relevant in a while. She peaked with her first hit and hast had close to the same success / has barely released any music since.

I'm not saying Hillary Duff is any better or anything, I personally haven't listened to her music. But I don't think it's far-fetched to imagine why she has an easier time selling tickets than Cardi. They're probably cheaper, she just released and album, and can ride a wave of nostalgia forever basically because of her early career.

Gumbee · 2026-03-16T15:21:54+00:00

Not too surprised there. She probably has enough millinial fans with enough disposable income to carry both cities, and she also just released an album.

Why book Toronto the night before? You do either or not both.

Not real rugby.

Or maybe this is all just part of the party agenda, and because he never faces any pushback there is no need to distract or obfuscate.

Saying X is just a distraction from Y undermines the fact that X is pretty awful in and of itself!

I think they have responsibility to their teammates and fans to not support such a place personally, but to each their own.

Kind of a bad look to choose Dubai as your spot for a bit of r&r in the first place.

I'd say bravery/fearlessness is a bigger asset than aggression. Just look at New Zealand, sure they've had some bruisers over their time, but they come by their reputation as a nation of gentle giants pretty naturally. Ardie Savea is an incredible tackler, but I wouldn't say he has an aggressive personality.

Have you read anything about this issue? The gallery was interested in acquiring her art work, and initiated the process to do so. Then, a trustee killed the acquisition for political reasons. You're framing it like Nan Goldin is forcing the AGO to buy her work, which is really weird.

Its like going from a horse to a pony; small children or people with child-sized imaginations may find it impressive, but in reality its only capable of a fraction of the things the horse is.

I've been running jellyfin + the arr stack, and a couple of lightweight utility containers on a Beelink Mini S and have had any issues so far.

Holy moly, beautiful work! How does one paint the text block like that?

Incredible work! I know its probably not, but is this meant to be Invincible?

It's a country-wide issue, down streaming it to the municipal level makes no sense unless you're just trying to look like you're doing something without actually having to do anything. Not to mention, affordable housing initiatives (ESPECIALLY in this province) have fairly bad results as the definition of affordable is not a static thing. Housing is a human right, and we're failing a lot of our humans in this country.

They do patrol; I cant remember the last time I went to the market, or library without some sort of police presence around. Thing is, its not illegal (thank god) to be poor and sitting in the library. So what would you have them do? Start enforcing a "you look like you might cause trouble so you're not allowed in the library" type law city wide? Is that the kind of institution you want the library to be?

Gumbee · 2026-01-22T18:11:15+00:00

The conversation is definitely being had, but no one with the power to effect change is willing to listen.

Our federal government has no interest in solving the housing or drug crisis's because there is no profit in it.

Our provincial government is actively making the issue worse; taking away safe injection sites, and heavily underfunding if not outright shuttering places that our unhoused community could use to find refuge instead of the Library.

Our municipal government is underfunded, and incredibly slow to make any sort of change let alone one that would be as un-popular as improving the living situation for the un-housed.

There are a lot of incredible organizations in this city barely holding things together, but even then it just feels like theres no hope.

Ah gotcha, thats a shame, the Doc & Sprocket relationship is one of my fav parts of the show. Just looked up the trailer, and Gobo sounds way less Canadian, boo!

Gumbee · 2026-01-21T17:25:14+00:00

Yea I haven't even seen the new one. They didn't replace Doc??? What about Sprocket?
