And a few years ago, no one would have thought Roe would be overturned.

This whole super has reminded me of the time I was given caffeine pills for migraines when I was only a few years younger than this woman, and they mistyped the dosage on the instructions. I did not end up in the hospital only because my heart wasn’t quiiiiite beating fast enough for the university health center to call an ambulance, but it was close. They still had me stay there at the health center so they could keep an eye on me for a few hours just in case. I mostly remember lying on a bed watching my hands shaking uncontrollably and feeling my heart pounding in my chest. It was not a fun experience.

Same as I said in another reply: The thing is, most people are not going to be calculating by amounts like that. If you see a drink labeled as having as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, most folks are going to the serving size you are getting has the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, not that it has the same amount of caffeine per fluid ounce - that the 30 oz lemonade has the same amount of caffeine as a 8 oz cup of coffee. I know that’s what I would have assumed based on the picture of the display in the article. Panera needed to have stated very clearly how they were measuring this - one of the linked articles said the woman never even drank energy drinks, so I bet you money she wouldn’t have ordered this had it been labeled more clearly exactly how much caffeine was in.

The thing is, and something I think folks aren’t figuring, is that most people are not going to be calculating by amounts like that. If you see a drink labeled as having as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, most folks are going to the serving size you are getting has the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, not that it has the same amount of caffeine per fluid ounce - that the 30 oz lemonade has the same amount of caffeine as a 8 oz cup of coffee.

Googling tells me drop coffee has 60-125 mg per cup, which is much less than the 390 mg this drink had. She was probably expecting at most 125mg in the drink.

And in that case, this poor woman definitely wouldn’t have been expecting as much caffeine as she got. It said in one of the articles in the reply that she avoided energy drinks because of the caffeine. She likely has no idea there was so much caffeine in it.

Yeah but

One large 30 fl oz Panera Charged Lemonade contains 390 milligrams (mg) of caffeine. If that sounds like a lot, that’s probably because—at least by the standards of commercial beverages—it very much is. For reference, a cup of coffee typically contains somewhere in the ballpark of 90 mg. Consuming the same volume of Red Bull, 30 fl oz, would equal only 278 mg of caffeine.

Unless their dark roast coffee was listed as having 390 mg of caffeine in it, no one seeing that sign would be expecting that much caffeine.

It’s both, honestly - mystery solving during the day, but battles at night when the enemies come out. The controls are a bit hard to use because they feel dated, so I didn’t play that much of it, but the new game is supposedly a lot better in that regard.

If you’re going to grind an ax, at least grind it in a post on that topic.

Yeah, y’all know what they say about a fool and his money.

And if the article were about that, you might have a point. But it’s not. It’s about how the police gave this poor woman the runaround instead of letting her know what happened to her son. And you know that. But you wanted attention and to be edgy. Well, congrats. You got the attention you wanted.

Hard to believe it’s both been that long and hasn’t been that long.

THANK YOU.

He just had to get that borderline racist little dig in, didn’t he.

Sinema came up with the idea and started working with colleagues in both parties on it in early September.

Sinema is actually trying to do something useful? Wow.

The one from Chutkan was while it’s under appeal.

How edgy of you.

It’s up to 22 dead now. Jfc.
