Amentep Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 No, no. It's a real food product. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/14/soylent_experiment/ I have a mate who's considering it because he has long term gut problems. Then they really should have thought up a different name for their product (in fact a different name for their company too). I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Fried roaches, yes, that's the ticket. Crunchy protein yums! As to Soylent, like with any liquid nutritional substitute goop, I'd have to wonder if living off it entire would equal some inconvenient or embarrassing intestinal issues after a while. I think I'll pass. That said, drinking a glass as a replacement meal once or twice a day wouldn't hurt anyone without an allergy to any of the ingredients. Assuming that list of ingredients they give out is accurate. But whatever ... as long as a diet one is using is working for one's personal needs/wants, that's really all that matters. Myself, I couldn't give up the fun of ripping, tearing, and masticating my food with my teeth. Growr. “Things are as they are.

Walsingham Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I'm with LC. Some of my earliest family memories are tearing at meat, and cracking bone marrow. OK that sounded weirder than it feels in my head. However, I confess I'm intrigued by the whole soylent thing. Which I actually think is very smart. Yes, it has bad connotations, but they are obviously wrong. But people talk about it. Imagine it was called 'nutritio 500', none of you would have even reacted. "It wasn't lies.

LadyCrimson Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Everything hurts and I'm cranky like a cat who has been staring at an empty food bowl for hours. Been listening to "Men in Black" all day, via the headphones. Something about the rhythm of the song is kinda soothing in a grooving way. “Things are as they are.

Raithe Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Pushing through the morning, had an on/off sleep, and a bout of weird dreams, now sipping tea and letting a minor headache fuzzle around in the background. The dogs are being a bit back and forth and all "fuss me! fuss me!", and the sun is shining so I'm pondering whether to try clearing a bunch of laundry before I poke at something work related.

Azdeus Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Got 4 hours of sleep, due to tossing and turning and being generally pissed off to such a degree that I got a nosebleed. Why? Because SVT is now allowed to take a TV-licence fee from computer owners. Because they have an internet service. THE INTERNET IS NOT A MOTHER****ING BROADCAST YOU ****WITS!!!

Nepenthe Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 We got that from the beginning of this year. 'cept they said the same, and then decided that everybody has to pay it, whether they have a tv or not instead of simply expanding it to computer users (though they used the same rationale). You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azdeus Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 The very reason we've had licence fees was because it's impossible to control a broadcast! The internet is the exact opposite! First of all I have to actually pay for a service to be able to reach their site, then I have to actually want to FETCH the data! A broadcast is an indiscriminate transmission of information that goes everywhere! The day those wankers starts paying for internet to everyone, so that it truly becomes a semblance of a broadcast, then they can actually collet money from me.

Guard Dog Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I feel bad that I've been working towards a degree and done only about 1.5 years worth of progress in 3 years. Having a full time job really sucks ass. Don't feel bad KP, it took me 10 years to finish my undergrad degree. I never took more than 1-2 classes per semester and always at night and I worked full time the whole way. You just have to stick with it. Whatever you do, do not ever take a break, it's too easy to not go back. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
