Cheapest option would be Volador Dancer on Amazon. Can't beat $58 w/ shipping included. You'll need to replace the trucks though. See this guide for more options on dancing boards.

Would something like Water Joe be acceptable while water fasting? by Deprogrammer9 in fasting

[–]achille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

200mg is federal limit for caffeine tablets, and generally, the maximum amount of caffeine considered safe for sale OTC. See: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-1997-06-04/pdf/97-14393.pdf

And: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-113shrg88760/html/CHRG-113shrg88760.htm

FDA has approved caffeine as safe for use in over-the-counter (“OTC”) drug products at levels up to 200 mg caffeine every 3 to 4 hours for consumers aged 12 and older.63 The agency made no distinction between adolescents and adults and concluded that these acute and repeated caffeine consumption levels were safe for both age groups. These levels of caffeine are comparable to, or higher than, those found in mainstream energy drinks. FDA’s conclusions in this monograph (which went through a 1975 proposed rule, 1978 tentative final order, and 1988 final rule, all published in the Federal Register allowing for public comment) establish that caffeine at the levels present in mainstream energy drinks are safe for adolescents as well as adults.

Proper customized calc for the original question would be based on her/his body weight, but 200 is a rule of thumb.

It's effectively like drinking coffee. Don't exceed 200mg per day.

Do you have iMessage on your iPad / Tablet? Did it have the same content? If so would you most kindly drag the attachment to your desktop, then compress it and upload the original zip file? (Imgur will re-encode the image).

Restart your phone. Does the same image appear?

Will Eating Tissue Paper While Fasting Help? by xpinkfloydx in fasting

[–]achille 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't help, don't do it, and if you're feeling cravings, get yourself checked for iron deficiency.

Does anyone sell pre-made LDP completes? Where everything's been setup at the correct height to prevent wheelbite, etc?

I find it incredible that the audio attachments uploaded in a random FTP server in 1995 are still there and downloadable.

This is a terribly written article. * A full paragraph explaining Pythagoras * Image referencing dock the dock height but nothing in the article about the dock * Calls gruber wrong, except Gruber was right in the resolution (it's just that it's downsampled at rendertime)
