Serious tip - bring a laundry hamper out to the beach
Easy to carry and it stays (relatively) clean vs a towel
Obviously have a towel too
Depending on size of the kid they could even sleep in it (shaded) - they tend to like the fort-like feeling

Otherwise anything under 1.5-2 years at the beach sucks

I'm a couple hours away from completing 36 hour fast
It wasn't as hard as I thought - key is you have to stay busy during the day
Ate around 10pm Wednesday night, worked throughout Thursday and had a black coffee, 3 electrolyte packets, 2 Diet Cokes, about 14-15 cups of water.
Hunger was worst between 4-7pm then improved.

Feel pretty good this morning - scale went down 3lbs in one day. I know that is not fat but I feel and look lighter and less bloated.
Think I will add this 1-2x per week to any cutting that I do in the future.

Can’t watch tonight but following score

Panthers already 2-0 wow
When I worked for AMC, Tuesdays were the slowest day by far

Monday you had the long weekenders, Thursday and Friday similar
Wednesday was free small popcorn for the members and that always brought out the retired people

Stars are so sneaky and resilient
They can get outplayed for 50 minutes and still win games

Told yall
This is just a replay from the first round except it’s the Oilers collapsing instead of the Avs

What did I say haha
This is freaking identical to how Dallas played in multiple games against Colorado

Watching last night and tonight so far, I want the Florida Edmonton rematch

Dallas can score bunches after going cold for a while though, unfortunately I know this personally so it’s not over

You have the worst takes
Im going to presume trolling rather than you believe these things

Why don’t you go hang out in the NBA thread

McDavid just made everyone look stupid there

Before the playoffs started I would say Dallas beats Edmonton 9 of 10 times

Now I think it’s a complete toss up with the depth scoring Edmonton has

However I think Otter will be the difference

It's not as hard as it sounds
You eat last meal at night, don't eat throughout the next day so you're at 24 hours when you go to sleep. Then you eat lunch the following day = 36 hours.

Key is getting through the full day of nothing with water, coffee, electrolytes, etc

I'm looking at trying this approach 1-2 days per week soon since I wasn't disciplined enough to hold to the protein sparing modified fast

Carolina has a lot of introspection to do after tonight - this is a beat down

13 ECF losses in a row

Yeah that looked kicking motion

Costly turnover from the captain

re: Official NHL Playoffs Thread

Posted by metallica81788 on 5/20/25 at 7:23 pm
…and we’re back

Carolina with an early PP on (IMO) a pretty weak O zone hooking call

Marner is definitely gone - maybe Anaheim but probably some non playoff team on the rise

I could see Tavares sticking around for discount

Probably Stars Panthers but I’d prefer Oilers Panthers rematch for viewing
