Fun paparazzi games1/3/2024 ![]() ![]() Up next I’ve got Sandman, Stranger Things 4, and Cabinet of Curiosities to watch. New D&D movie - fun! There had better be a sequel!.Canadian Netflix does have the first two seasons of Harley Quinn!! Which would be great - if I hadn’t seen them already!!! Where’s my third season and V-day special!!?.Luis and Catherine Zeta are both well cast as Gomez and Morticia too. Wednesday - This is a real 40% of my brain kinda show, but Jenny Ortega is fun.Second season of Inside Job - Netflix are fools to have canceled this. ![]() New I think you should leave - I think I only really like it to know when other people are referencing it, I usually find the references to it funnier than the bits themselves.The small English town one was fine, I don’t know if I really dug the paparazzi and shoe salesgirl episodes New Black Mirror - I liked the Aaron Paul and Salma Hayak ones the most.I like Geralt still but they really need to focus the storytelling a bit more I think so that we’re not checking in with the whole picture every episode. New Witcher- too much political nonsense, not enough monster.The 4th season of Disenchantment - is fine but still not as funny as Futurama.Two seasons of Love Death and Robots - some good ones but most not as good as the first season’s standouts.I just re-upped my Netflix while I was sick and watched so many things: The fact that I’ve heard no one talk about it worries me though. Was greeted by season 3 of The Witcher upon logging in – I had completely forgotten that was out. Reactivated my Netflix sub just because I want to watch a movie tonight and Disney+ has a pretty terrible selection if you’re not in the mood for animation. ![]()

12 ounce red bull caffeine content1/3/2024 ![]() ![]() The Regular Monster Energy drink contains 10 mg of caffeine per ounce. If you're looking for a little more than just doing the Dew, look to a Mountain Dew Rise. Their Rise series of drinks contains an impressive, though not Earth-shattering amount of caffeine at 11.25 milligrams per ounce. Leave it to soft drink brand, Mountain Dew to make sure that they are among the challengers to the title of most caffeinated energy drink. Plus, you get that Starbucks Mocha flavor that you enjoy so much. A 15 ounce can also includes Inositol, Panax Ginseng, and Guarana, as well as Vitamin B6. Starbucks Triple Shot Energy hits you with 15 milligrams of caffeine per ounce. You didn't think the coffee giant would let others steal their lunch in perpetuity, did you? Then spend another couple of hours on TikTok reliving other people's mishaps. Grab a 12 ounce can of Prime Drink and enjoy the 200 mg of caffeine that goes along with it. So is there caffeine, with the Energy version, as opposed to the Hydration version, including a 16.66 milligram to ounce ratio. That's because their marketing is top notch. Sparkling Energy has a most excellent ring to it, don't you think? Prime Energy | 16.66 mg/ozĪ newcomer to the world of energy drinks, Logan Paul and KSI's Prime Energy Drink is poised to take plenty of market share from everyone on this list. Gluten-free, certified Vegan, zero sugar, and enough caffeine to prevent the late-in-the-work day slump is a can of Celsius Sparkling Energy. Once again, we've never enjoyed (is that even the correct word?) a Bang Energy Drink, but we can imagine its jolting power. Unlike the shot version, Bang's Energy Drink comes in on top of the top dogs, Monster and Red Bull, with nearly 20 milligrams per ounce. ![]() Gotta love the one word titles of energy drink brands. Broken down, that's about approximately 22 milligrams per ounce. Spike goes hardcore with their labeling, letting you know in no uncertain terms that you will be served 350 milligrams of caffeine per 16oz can. It's bigger than the true shots and smaller than the can and bottle versions of it's brethren. However, that could be due to the medium-sized container - at least in the energy drink world - of 8 ounces. Redline Xtreme Energy Drink | 31 mg/ozĪ fast-acting, ready-to-drink energy shot that we didn't even know existed until now, a Redline Xtreme comes in a bit lower than it's shot-style competitors at 31 milligrams per ounce. Or displayed another way, the same amount of caffeine as not one, but two shots of Espresso.Īlso included with the elevated caffeine levels is a 120 mg dollop of L-theanine. What is wild about Proper Wild is that the energy drink company suggests that there are 6 servings per bottle. What's interesting is that the energy drink comes as a shot, so that 100 mg boost can be broken down to a level of 40 mg per fluid ounce. Proper Wild is a 100% plant-based, low calorie energy drink that has a 100 mg boost of caffeine per drink. But what we do know is that even the regular strength 5-Hour energy packs a wallop at 47 mg per ounce. Perhaps people started visiting there convenience stores again? However, 2021 saw a 15 million dollar bump. ![]() Sales declined each year from 2015 to 2020, going from 241.74 million USD to 180.4 millions USD. In fact, they launched in 2004, so almost two decades. 5-Hour Energy | 47 mg/ozįor well over a decade now 5-Hour Energy has captured the hearts, minds and endocrine systems of "energy" seeking folks across the world. Just four ounces and you're done for the day.īuy It 5-Hour Energy Extra Strength | 70 mg/ozĮxtra Strength 5-Hour Energy boasts a whopping 70 mg of caffeine per ounce. The Bang Shot is an explosion of caffeine at 100 mg/oz. You might even feel like you're mainlining the caffeine straight into the bloodstream at that rate. It's interesting to note, though it should come as no surprise, that the two most popular energy drinks in the world, Redbull and Monster Energy, have a moderate amount of caffeine when compared to all of their competitors. Others included for contention include 5-Hour Energy, Monster Energy, Red Bull and more. Which Brand of Energy Drink Has The Most Caffeine?Īccording to research, Bang Shot contains the most caffeine in an energy drink.

No notion meaning1/3/2024 ![]() ![]() Why? Once you join, chances are you'll stick to it. It's an effort to make it easier for users to join. Many software companies offer freemium plans these days. I mean let's be honest, it's giving away stuff that other (big) companies charge for - take Microsoft for example: Word, Excel, OneDrive. You might be wondering why is Notion doing this - and it's a valid question: why give all this value for free? Notion does not discriminate against operating systems (such as Mac, iOS, Android, Windows), so yes, Notion is free for Windows as well! So our recommendation is: yes, feel free to use Notion and use it as your central hub - you're safe! Is Notion free for Windows? Not doing that would probably cause more damage than they'd prefer. The conclusion? It's strongly believed that Notion will continue to remain free with its generous free plan, for the time being. What's more: reverting a decision like that (the limit removal of the freemium plan) is usually hurting a tech company, should they ever do it. Most software companies these days offer a free plan to make it super easy for users to start using their product. But even before then, Notion had a free version. Most probably yes, Notion will continue to be free forever.Įver since May 2020, Notion restricted its limits on the number of blocks you can create. ![]() 99% of users will be perfectly ok with the free plan! Is Notion free for students forever? Unless you're a power user who needs some special features, you can stick to the freemium Notion plan and enjoy its' features. There is no limit in terms of how many pages you can create or how many elements (think: one paragraph is a "block", one image is a "block") you can make. Notion for students gives you their "Personal Pro" plan for free! We'll even host your website! Is Notion free for personal use?Īs of mid-2020, yes, Notion is free for personal use, with a very generous freemium plan. ), that's free as well, with our tool Simple.ink. What's more, if you plan to turn a Notion page into a website, or to add a custom domain to your Notion page (e.g. Access to all features: nothing is restricted.Collaboration: you can share a link to your page(s) and have other people edit it.If you do, however, the paid plan gives you unlimited storage which is pretty generous You can upload files up to 5MB - pretty good, if you don't want to use it as a Google Drive/Dropbox/etc replacement.To put it simply, it's because of the ease of use. So what's all the rage? Many people love and swear by Notion but. Besides, Notion is very flexible and customizable. The simplicity and minimalism of the pages give people focus, clarity and confidence in how their documents, tables, spreadsheets, or even websites look like. The pages look clean and aesthetic, no matter what. You can move blocks around, the same way you can move folders on your desktop: drag and drop.Īt the same time, people have loved making Notion websites with Simple.ink, simply because it's quite hard to mess it up. Explanation 5: Notion is a note-taking app where every paragraph, image, table, list, etc is a block.Explanation 4: Notion is a Microsoft Word, stripped down to look simple, but upon which other "sections" have been built: simple tables, expandable lists, embeds, table of contents blocks, etc.Explanation 3: think of a note-taking app that looks minimalist, but in fact gets powerful, the more you discover it.Explanation 2: if you think of a boiled-down version of Google Docs + Google Sheets + all the other tools, you'll get it mostly right.If that wasn't clear, let's try different ways to explain Notion: With Notion, you can write documents & spreadsheets, organize files around and more. Notion is a simpler combination of the Google/Microsoft Suite of apps: docs, folders, spreadsheets, etc. Notion themselves call it the one-in-all workspace for your notes, tasks, wikis and databases, but it's certainly more than that. Notion has been trivially called a "just another note-taking app", but it's definitely more than that. ![]()

Mini maker 3 pack1/3/2024 ![]() I usually recommend the Cucinapro waffle cone and bowl maker for individuals as the best waffle maker because it is what I call ‘All in one’. ![]() If you are buying this machine, expect that some parts of your waffle may come out browner than other parts when baking. The machine does not have a clip to enable you lock it when you close the lid. ![]() It takes at least 20 minutes to get to a good working temperature. Takes long to get hot despite being a high wattage machine. It consume about 750 watts and is 110 v power standard. This means you might get burned when baking.

It comes with a Shape Roller and Bowl Press and is suitable for making cones. Is the Cucinapro waffle cone and bowl maker the best waffle maker to buy?

Scary movies about tooth fairy1/3/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() The previous owner was a famous artist whose last drawings were of these creatures that Sally had been describing. With Kim trying to figure out what could be happening, she goes to the library to learn more about the former owner of the house. When Sally tries to confront the creatures, their malicious intentions become obvious and Sally begins to fear for her life. These creatures start destroying Kim’s clothes and stealing small objects, all the while Sally is being blamed with the presumption that she’s “adjusting”. She also finds out that they are afraid of the light, but this doesn’t seem to matter much as they are trying to be friends with Sally. It starts with Sally hearing these creatures in and around her bedroom, which make her a little nervous. Holy shit, remember when Katie Holmes was a “sex symbol”? Then everyone saw her boobs in The Gift? And now she is Tom Cruise‘s zombie? That’s sad. When she unlocks the barrier that has clearly kept these creatures trapped in a hole for 200 years, that’s when shit starts getting serious. As the three adjust to life together, Sally discovers that there are small creatures in the basement that she can talk to, who seem to want to be her friend. Add to that the fact that the daughter, Sally, also has to adjust to her new quasi-stepmom, Kim, played by Katie Holmes. We learn that the little girl was sent to live with her father in this new house, which isn’t something that the two of them are really all too excited about. They make their way back to the house that he has bought and is remodeling which is, surprise surprise, the mansion from the opening. ![]() Cut to present day and we see Guy Pearce’s character, Alex, picking up his daughter, played by Bailee Madison, from the airport. He offers them to unseen creatures who live in a hole in his basement, but he gets sucked in and is never heard from again. The film starts in an old timey mansion where we see the assumed owner of the mansion trip his maid on the stairs and then smash her teeth out of her head with a chisel. Guy Pearce? What are you doing here, you super stud! You are from Australia! Would you believe that Guillermo would be involved in a movie about scary little goblin creatures? He is! And it’s this movie! As a warning, this one might have spoilers, but they shouldn’t be too spoil-y considering this is a remake. I knew that Guillermo del Toro was behind this remake, at least as a producer and co-writer, and it had to do with little goblin creatures. Why? Because I didn’t really give too much of a shit about it to track it down. Whoops! Before we go any further, I’d like to mention that no, I haven’t seen the original. They made us put them in these high-tech manilla envelopes and I was nervous they’d see all the naked pictures I have of the dog. BUT I FUCKING SAW IT! It was one of those preview screening things and it was bullshit because they stole our phones. 2010? 2011? WHAT THE FUCK?! Oh, this movie was made a year or two ago and was originally going to be released in 2010 but isn’t getting an actual release for a few more days. ![]() |
