    did a little bit of research and it looks like McDonalds coffee has a lot less caffeine in their coffee compared to Tim Hortons coffee. Much prefer the taste of McDonalds coffee plus you get a muffin for a penny! lol

    Recommended intake - up to 400 mg of caffeine a day

    McDonalds Large Coffee (21 floz) - 185 mg
    Tim Hortons XL Coffee (24 floz) - 330 mg

    While catching up with some Keeping Karlsson podcasts, I caught the prospects episode where Daniel Negreanu discussed the Vegas Knight. I had never heard him talk hockey before and he is extremely knowledgeable. He not only spoke of the Knights and their expansion drafts but of other prospects on his team. Is he a poster here? His passion for hockey is very evident.

    I kept watching his daily vlogs during the world series of poker and he would talk quite a bit about the golden knights coming to town. he seemed to know all the players and was pretty excited about the team they selected during the expansion draft

    Didn't you listen to what noted expert Ann Coulter said?

    I don't believe Hurricane Harvey is God's punishment for Houston electing a lesbian mayor. But that is more credible than "climate change."

    There aren't enough faces and palms on Earth to adequately facepalm that one. What a revolting person (not even close to solely based on that remark). That's the mentality at the helm, folks.

    The even more "credible" explanation would be that it's God's punishment for electing Trump
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    God knows everything, God knew that the "lesbian comment" was going to be said before it did. Punishment for that.

    If you're paddling your canoe down the street and your wheel falls off, how many pancakes does it take to shingle a doghouse?

    The thread was starting to get too on topic
