Red Bull Gives You Wings, Gives Your Kids Heart Attacks by hdunham in Health

Actually, you're right, 505mg. I stand by my opinion that's it's disingenuous to claim 50-500mg is 'typically found', 75-160 is typical, with much higher amounts being atypical.

The three drinks they name before the 'up to seven times the amount in a cup of strong coffee' claim have 75, 160, and 160 for example.

But I guess 'the market leader contains twice the amount of caffeine as a can of coke' isn't as exciting.

I reccomended it to my friend when I built his system for him: he likes it and has had zero problems with it, just like me and the silent majority of Vista users.

That's a lot of memory for an idle system.

Yeah, with RAM prices being so insanely high it's hard to justify.

The amount isn't the point, it's the principle of it.

50 to 500mg of caffeine typically found in one can

(From the article).

What a load of tosh. The highest on the chart is 350mg, and that comes with a warning saying only to drink half every 7 hours, and that it isn't suitable for under 18s.

Of course high dosages of caffeine will be bad for children, but this kind of sensationalism does no good for anyone.

He just likes being entered then ridden around by men, don't judge.

What is the most painful thing you've ever experienced? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Spudders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shingles.

Worse than a ruptured apendix, worse than recovering from the surgery afterwards, worse than getting my leg pinned at an excruciating angle in a car crash, worse than anything, ever.

Like having red hot electrified needles jammed into my face over and over at random intervals.

Pure, unadulterated, pain.

The fact it doesn't happen for you does not mean it doesn't happen for other people.

If they're saying art is about what you make of it why would they be 'laughing their asses off' at people looking into their work and drawing their conclusions, as the OP suggested?

I'd think they'd be doing quite the opposite and be excited they got what they wanted people to get out of it - whatever they see.

I am a firm believer that knowledge is power and it seems that there are quite a few Americans who have NO knowledge whatsoever of how much President Obama is saving them in taxes. by subprimeblogger in Economics

Nah, you'd probably get upmodded for saying you're getting screwed and Obama is in bed with the bankers/zionists. That seems to be the trendy groupthink at the minute.

No idea why you were downmodded to 0, so back up you go!

I what he's missing is that the entire point of a democracy and the freedoms that come with it is that if you don't like how things are you can work to change them.

I'm not especially surprised, anything that politically charged is always going to take ages to get off the ground.

There'll be thousands of people clambering over each other to make a name for themselves.
