The last show I watched was the old 90s cartoon series "X-Men", which brought me back to my childhood.

No screen capture to show, but came across an ad which was trying to use reverse psychology, trying to lure clicks by daring the reader to be radical: "Never mix this skinny drink with water.

Hawaii (the last state I need to visit to have reached all 50) What exercise did you used to enjoy but have had to give up?

There are two types of creatine: creatine monohydrate and creating HCl. The monohydrate has existed longer and has more scientific testing showing it's safe and effective, while the HCl is new to the scene. I've tried both, and in my experience the monohydrate caused more water retention than the HCl version did.
