    Ithaca NY. Probably a mistake. Might take this "opportunity" and painfully move to a city with a bigger tech industry. God, I hate city driving.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    My jimmies are rustled because today myself and 8 others were escorted out of the office by hired goons with guns. At least have the decency and respect to expect a professional to, you know, act professional even when fired. More mad about that than losing my job. Not sure I'd want to stick...

    Haven't even bought the materials yet. Relatively minor purchase, but I'm glad I held off since I was laid off today. Anyone need a programmer with C++ and Java experience? I do hardware shit too.

    Well, I guess Vvoid doesn't care about the environment. JK, fuck the trees. But I do shutoff my computer when I go to bed and turn it on when I get home from work. Otherwise, I'd consider that.

    I assume you meant that for the tablets thread. Either way, that's the old discontinued model. Not worth that price.

    Maybe(me having self control), I'm still pretty bad on sugar levels. Which, I'm not totally sold on the current doom and gloom. For instance, today I had 120g of sugar. That's on the higher end of average for me. I usually do between 80g and 120g. I should get a blood test sometime. My...

    Depends. Your example doesn't work, obviously. But, let's go larger and say...Thanksgiving feast? Honestly, sounds like a case of sometimes your brain is its own enemy sometimes. Dumb it down for most people and just say "don't eat this", which is regrettable. We've discussed this before...

    Edited my post above, but I'd say sugar, butter, and sugar + butter is as close as you'll come to control. But even putting sugar + butter(salted) is a huge difference.

    Yeah, but as Khane said, there was no control. There's differences between sucrose, butter, and cheesecake than one being sugar, one fat(mostly) and one fat and sugar. One of them tastes 10x better than the others. If I'm eating something really tasty, like cheesecake, even if my brain is...

    Perhaps rats have no conception of nausea and gluttony, but eating equal caloric amounts of the first two to a reasonable serving of the second is just gross. I don't think I could stomach that much sugar and butter. But I could eat a day's worth of calories in cheesecake easy(ignoring that I...

    Yeah, I know the nuts part was a stretch. More just me thinking there's gotta be something with close to equal amounts of fat and sugar. Still sounds a bit asinine. What's the science behind it? Hormones produced from sugar digestion and fat digestion hate each other and end up canceling one...

    No, I honestly didn't feel like devoting an hour to something Ossoi posted. There's got to be some natural foods that combine sugar and fat. Milk doesn't count? Maybe some nuts or legumes? "...because it turns off the body's ability to regulate macro nutrients..." sound suspect to me...

    Teaching your kid sign language has developmental benefits. Also, think how frustrating it would be as a kid to only have one way to communicate you want/need ANYTHING. Sign language isn't just for the parents.

    We had our son's frenulum clipped as well to help with breastfeeding. Didn't help one bit. He takes to bottles much better than breasts. Breastfeeding and work, even though there's laws about it, is still a huge pain in the ass, so he's on formula now. Hope there's no drawback to getting...

    Which Mass Effect installment is your favorite?

    The ending DLC made it worse in context of the original. They staunchly defend the original ending as "art" and "well, you guys just don't get it!", but after continued bitching and bad press, they give us these shallow choice endings that still fall short of what it should have been.

    Doesn't take that long. But I know you read the thread, so just go back and read the arguments again. There's a purpose to sous vide, and time saver, directly, is not one of them.
