HDDs don't scratch easily ;-)

My family got our first PC in 94-95 and we had AOL, and the beginnings of the WWW. I had heard about gopher but never got to use it.

Whenever I see these ads I want to punch the TV, especially since my parents can only get Comcast if they want broadband cable. They're paying about $250/month and the internet slows to a crawl half the time, standard definition cable channels artifact and drop out occasionally, a handful of HD channels that they pay for NEVER work even though their SD counterparts do, the HD channels also artifact and drop out, along with on-demand doing the same thing! They have 150 down and 25 up, and I have 100 Mbps FiOS at the other end of the state (North Jersey, outside of NYC) and it's definitely faster than what they have. Also Comcast refuses to accept backed payments in smaller amounts, they want it all or nothing. I moved into a friend's place and his bill was $600 in the red, I offered to help him pay it down and spoke with Comcast about it. They told me to have a lease notarized that the previous tennant didn't live there (he did) and we wouldn't have to pay the $600. I did everything they asked to the T, but they still wouldn't unlock the account. Even when I offered to pay the amount in installments of $200 or $300 they wouldn't accept it! This wasn't "I'll give you $300 now and you turn the cable back on", it was "I'll give you $300 now and keep everything disconnected, then I'll give you $300 in two weeks". They actively refused setting up a payment plan or anything other than taking the $600 in one shot. In the end we just had to pay it in one lump sum. The thing that pisses me off the most is the completely misleading "Fastest In Home WiFi" claim considering that the bandwidth of your WiFi connection has absolutely nothing to do with the bandwidth of your ISP connection, considering that you can have 1.3 Gbps 802.11AC streaming through your house, but not have an active internet connection, yet 75% of the population doesn't even know that, let alone what WiFi actually is (my 34 year old brother and his girlfriend are two of them haha)

While I'll agree that the movie was lackluster (saw it on opening day in NYC, luckily only had to pay $3 thanks to T-Mobile!), this guy is an idiot for wanting to sue over wasted time, he's what's wrong with the judicial system (I can't say the US system because this happened in the UK). First off, driving 300 miles one way to see a freaking movie that is going to be everywhere?? I'll never understand why people wait hours and hours or drive hundreds of miles to be the first to see a movie that is going to be out for weeks, I can understand if it's a one time event like a concert, but a movie? Secondly, yea I was disappointed that The Joker only had about 20 minutes screen time in the whole movie, but does it want to make me go through the trouble of suing a mega corporation because I'm butt hurt over my favorite character not being in the movie long enough? Absolutely not. Thirdly, he's a whiny little bitch who has nothing better to do with his life than complain about a movie and make himself look like an ass. Game studios do this stuff all the time, and as someone else said this happens all the time with movie trailers. I just thought the movie was lame since Jared Leto wasn't a good Joker IMO, he lacked screen time; I had no idea who the other characters were outside of Harley Quinn; Batman was randomly in it for about 4 minutes; and finally even though some of these characters are Batman (super) villains, the whole story takes place in Midway City (which 90% of people have never heard of, including myself and it has nothing to do with the origins of any character in the Suicide Squad) instead of Gotham City! You would think they would have all of the Suicide Squad locked up at Arkham Asylum, yet there was no mention of that and instead they were at a 'Black Site' in Louisiana for some reason! It's almost like they put a lot of things into a hat and just blindly picked things out and stuck them together for no reason.

And you want to know how they make it have a smooth texture and make it palatable? They add synthetic chemicals, artificial flavorings and a bunch of sugar.

Or you could go off of the few other tests that bloggers did and not base your opinion of it off of one source?

I'm guessing you would consider Ovaltine, NesQuik, Tang and any other powered drink that you add water too, "sludge"?

Farting?

My girlfriend can't cook worth a damn, enjoys food, and is awesome in bed.

Slim Fast is also disgusting. Beta testers of Soylent said isn't wasn't that tasty, but Rob has refined the taste and it's supposed to be "taste neutral" so you can flavor it yourself if you like. If I were to constantly drink any commercial "meal replacement" it would be Muscle Milk, I used to drink that stuff all the time in college either in the morning or during Adderall studying binges where I didn't want to stop studying to eat, or simply because I had no appetite to eat solid food but needed nutrition.

If you have enough time/energy/money to constantly eat good food/cook nice, healthy meals then good for you. Some one us can't/don't want to. I'm 28, I live by myself, and I live paycheck to paycheck. When I come home from work at 8 PM I don't want to spend 15-40 minutes cooking up something, also I'm a picky eater so that limits the "easy" meals that most people mention. A few days ago I went shopping for the first time in about 1.5 months and all I could afford to spend was about $75. Soylent is $3 a meal and gives you all the nutrients that you would need, it would most likely be healthier than any meal I could make myself since I'm not a great cook.

Brilliant!

I got a free sample of one of these in the mail, they're from the company that makes Le Whiff "breathable chocolate". They work, but it's a horribly planned product. The experience is equivalent to inhaling pixie stix but it tastes a lot worse. You put the product in your mouth and instead of the logical idea of putting the hole that the power comes out of directly on top of the product (facing the back of your throat) so when you inhale it goes directly down your throat, the holes are on the sides facing the roof of your mouth and your tongue; so when you inhale your tongue and the roof of your mouth get coated in this nasty powder (mine was lime flavored) and the taste lingers for about a good 10-15 minutes.You have to insert the product far in your mouth (about 90% of it in your mouth) to avoid the nasty coating and for it to properly go down your throat. The product only contains about 3-5 doses, so overdoses are highly unlikely. I doubt these things contain more than 50mg of caffeine per dose, so even if you emptied the whole container and snorted it, it'd be equivalent to a large energy drink or a strong cup of coffee. I tried to crack one open and it isn't an easy task, they're made out of very tough plastic.
