You agree with government mandating medical decisions against the wishes of parents and doctors? That doesn't seem to align with what I thought your general political beliefs were. And "100% agree" at that. 

In a video released to social media, former President Trump detailed his plan to ban gender-affirming care for minors.

The goal was to collect 250 gallons of sap this year. Ended up with 264 (999L), which in turn yielded 4.95 gallons (18.7L) of syrup.

> I feel great. I've put on a ton of muscle. Everything is better - not only physically but mentally too. And other aspects. I mean, everything.

I definitely relate to that. When I'm hitting the gym regularly I feel 100x better all around. Physically better, less tired, more energy... but also mentally better, happier, more patient with the kids


Not too sure about the meat diet though... I get the benefits for weight loss and muscle gain, but I'd be a little worried about other long term effects that could have. Glad to hear it's working for you though, might be worth consulting with a dietician or physician on what's best for you. When I was serious about muscle gain I followed macros. I ate everything but tried for a specific ratio of protein, carbs, and fat. I've always stayed away from extreme anything... rather, everything in moderation. I gained around 25 lbs (my goal was +20) and put on a lot of muscle.

That looks really fun. We go every year to a few maple syrup festivals in the area. There is one that still makes it in the traditional way with large cauldrons boiling over a fire. The kids love to see the process (and eat pancakes and maple candy ).

I spent a little time today upgrading to the latest 2.0.x version and moving to PHP8.  I still want to go to the next version SMF (2.1.x) but I will set aside more time to do that since it seems like I need to do a full upgrade. 


Is anyone using anything besides the default template?  It seems like the upgrade to 2.1 will require me to trash all mods and it might wreck any older templates.  But it's a pretty decent upgrade from what I can tell so it seems well worth it.

nope, not selling. We give some to friends. I eat 20 eggs per week. Between my wife and kids, they eat another 20 or so.
