2. To rely as a win the decant MUST be thunked. Yeah, I do know however that is how I’m enjoying it. You’ll be able to have your individual guidelines when you like.
3. Multiples in a day are acceptable. So, when you empty one thing within the morning, one other after work and one other earlier than mattress that counts as THREE wins.
