[09:36:28] <SirFinkus> sup?
[09:36:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> yer the F@H guy so how bout we put something in the sidebar bout it?
[09:37:11] <SirFinkus> yeah, thought I brought that up at some point
[09:37:28] <SirFinkus> it'd just put it i the same place as the twatter
[09:38:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> how bout in the Site News sidebar for now? doesn't take db or file editing and i ain't had coffee yet.
[09:39:28] <SirFinkus> sounds good to me
[09:39:29] <SirFinkus> thanks
[09:40:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> and if you wanna do up a progress update story letting people know the link's there and where we stand, that'd be good as well.
[09:40:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> got a link for me to use?
[09:40:44] <SirFinkus> hmm, not sure if we should use the official stanford one or the extreme overclocking one
[09:40:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh not for scores, to send people to join.
[09:41:21] <SirFinkus> trouble is, they don't have a really good landing page for that
[09:41:30] <SirFinkus> they have the main folding page, and then the team score page
[09:41:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm...
[09:42:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> screw the progress update then. do up instructions and we can link to that from the sidebar.

[09:53:37] <SirFinkus> yeah, thanks a lot
[09:53:41] <SirFinkus> we just beat MS btw
[09:53:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> wewt
[09:53:49] <mecctro> woot
[09:54:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh fuck, that is some tasty coffee this morning
[09:54:27] * SirFinkus goes to pass out
[09:57:41] <mecctro> holy fuck, making food recipes with genetic algos.
[10:01:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> haven't we been doing that anyway?
[10:01:36] <mecctro> sure, it's just nifty to toy with practical data.
[10:02:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> well i mean my dinner last night had lots of chicken dna in it
[10:02:36] <mecctro> lol
[10:02:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> and it was cooked by a guy with human genes wearing jeans
[10:02:48] <mecctro> was his name Gene?
[10:03:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> unfortunately not, had to fix my own dinner.
[10:03:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> it did come with beer though, so that's a win.
[10:03:45] <mecctro> seems it
[10:04:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> traditional beer n hotwings supper for game night
[10:04:14] <mecctro> not bad

[10:06:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> blerg, 59 to 17
[10:06:21] <mecctro> ouch
[10:06:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> whole second half we played our second string just to give them the practice
[10:06:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> was 42 to 0 at halftime
[10:07:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> which was a nice change after getting our asses handed to us last week.
[10:07:57] <mecctro> chit happens
[10:09:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> in many ways i prefer TN but OK is where football lives
[10:10:30] <mecctro> I'm having a light on' moment
[10:10:48] * TheMightyBuzzard claps and turns the light off
[10:12:13] <mecctro> I can train against the USDA food data and "learn" which "recipe" of my chosen ingredients yeilds the most "optimal" results.
[10:12:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> they do taste testing?
[10:12:45] <mecctro> noperino
[10:12:48] <mecctro> lol
[10:13:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> cause that's the survival condition you should be going for
[10:13:17] <mecctro> taste?
[10:13:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> well yeah. nobody cept hippies will give a damn if it tastes like ass but is good for you.
[10:13:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> witness tofu and kale
[10:14:03] <mecctro> you might have a point, if you could additionaly target taste, you would make a killing.
[10:14:14] <mecctro> though, I imagine, the big guys do all this already
[10:14:21] <mecctro> it's just an interesting idea, for personal use.
[10:14:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> prolly, yeah. and have a bunch of taste testers handy to speed up iterations
[10:15:04] <mecctro> Right, just gather a bunch of taste tester data
[10:15:13] <mecctro> linked to each individual food
[10:15:18] <mecctro> then combined foods
[10:15:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, i know... use the nutrition algo then put hot sauce on it
[10:15:37] <mecctro> it could take a long time.
[10:16:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> even tofu would be edible with hot sauce
[10:16:42] <mecctro> I'm just interested in delivering optimal yeilds of constituent ingrediants, based of what's available.
[10:16:43] <Booga1> Hot sauce is usually low calorie, so drown the stuff in it.
[10:17:20] <mecctro> like, for example: if I have hot-sauce, and tofu, what is the "right" amount of each, based on nutrition, that I should combine for a recipe.
[10:17:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'll leave yall to it then and go play me some vidya. diablo ain't gonna kill himself.
[10:18:11] <mecctro> okeedokee
[10:18:28] <mecctro> I guess it sounded more interesting in my head.
[10:19:47] <Booga1> It all depends on the hot sauce.
[10:20:07] <Booga1> Some are so hot you measure them in drops.
[10:20:20] <Booga1> Others can be measured in cups.
[10:20:38] <mecctro> aka paprika
[10:20:47] <mecctro> "for flavor"
[10:21:25] <Booga1> Ages ago, I saw a poster with lots of hot sauces. One of them had on the label, in Spanish, "If you're not Mexican, this will kill you."
[10:21:36] <mecctro> lol
[10:21:53] <mecctro> badass
[10:22:13] <mecctro> what's the worst reaction you've ever had to hot-sauce?
[10:23:04] <Booga1> Hot sauce? Nothing worse than burning tongue or burning the day after.
[10:23:38] <Booga1> The worst I've had from peppers was when I ate a habenero pepper whole. That was about three hours of agonizing pain.
[10:24:08] <FatPhil> I have been able to track its progress through my body because of the burn
[10:24:15] <Booga1> I'm not a pepper wimp, but I know I can't take the top tier peppers and hot sauces.
[10:24:15] <mecctro> haha
[10:25:06] <mecctro> I can't handle extracts, or really hot stuff.
[10:25:10] <FatPhil> unfortunately, there's almost no hot food here in Estonia, so I'm becoming re-sensitised, and a bit of a chilli wimp
[10:25:11] <mecctro> I just lose my mind.
[10:25:47] <Booga1> I hear that's how the super hot stuff is. Mind altering.
[10:25:59] <mecctro> The worst shit I've ever had was this extract (no idea) a friend of mine had, I dipped a tooth-pick in it, put it in my mouth, and just lost my mind.
[10:26:18] <mecctro> vomited
[10:26:27] <mecctro> proceeded to chug random shit
[10:26:33] <mecctro> and vomit more
[10:26:43] <mecctro> my entire face was numb
[10:26:45] <Booga1> Vomited? That sounds like near pure capsaisin.
[10:27:03] <mecctro> that shit make me scared for my life
[10:27:10] <mecctro> it was a full blown trip
[10:27:15] <mecctro> from a toothpick
[10:27:33] <mecctro> capsaisin: not even once.
[10:28:52] <Booga1> That is like level 10 pain when you lose control of your body and vomit.
[10:29:30] <mecctro> It was a strange intense feeling of urgency, but being directionless.
[10:29:46] <mecctro> "Do something, do that, that's close"
[10:29:56] <mecctro> just complete pain override
[10:31:11] * Booga1 nods.
[10:32:01] <Booga1> I've only been in that much pain once, thankfully.
[10:32:56] <mecctro> How so?
[10:33:04] <Booga1> At least when you're reacting to the stuff you've ingested, you have a clue why it's happening.
[10:33:31] <mecctro> right, external physical stuff in that range, you just go into shock.
[10:35:51] <Booga1> Oh, I woke up one time suffering from abdominal pain that happened about every 15 minutes, getting worse each time. Eventually it got to the point I had a friend haul me to the hospital. By the time I was admitted into the emergency room, I was unable to move, crippled on the floor, and vomiting due to the pain.
[10:36:58] <mecctro> Sounds pretty horrible, what the hell did you ingest?
[10:37:02] <Booga1> They got me rolled around on the xray table and by the time they were done, I was all better. Best they can figure out was that I had twisted intestines. Investigation solved the problem.
[10:37:15] <mecctro> oh, that's fucking weird
[10:37:32] <Booga1> Really weird. Never did figure it out for sure.
[10:37:46] <mecctro> wtf, that's fucking weird as shit lol
[10:38:00] <mecctro> "twisted intenstines" was the best they could come up with?
[10:38:02] <mecctro> xD
[10:39:37] <Booga1> They said the abdominal noise from the stethoscope was something way beyond anything they had ever heard.
[10:40:18] <mecctro> sounds like the beginning of a horror film
[10:40:34] <Booga1> At least I made it out alive.
[10:40:39] <mecctro> thankfully
[10:40:57] <mecctro> don't think I've heard of anything quite like that.
[10:42:13] <Booga1> There's a fair chance it was caused by Bryer's icecream.
[10:42:35] <mecctro> lmao, wth?
[10:42:47] <mecctro> lactose issues?
[10:42:50] <Booga1> I've not dared to eat it since then. That was the one thing that I ate a big bowl of the night before.
[10:43:27] <Booga1> I've not had lactose issues before then or since, but maybe just because most stuff isn't as pure as Breyers.
[10:44:03] <mecctro> no idea, how odd
[10:45:11] <Booga1> Anyway, I can sympathise with severe pain issues. By the time it gets to 8-10, it's time to ask for assistance.
[10:45:36] <Booga1> I cound 11 as pass out, body gives up.
[10:46:18] <mecctro> indeed
[10:57:18] * Booga1 heads to bed.

[22:58:52] <pinchy> where can i but soylent bars like pictured in the logo?
[22:59:07] <mecctro> good question
[22:59:30] <pinchy> looks like kinda like those yummy nutrigrain strawberry bars
[22:59:59] <pinchy> might be a good way to drum up funding
[23:00:19] <pinchy> like those plinket pizza rolls
[23:00:23] <mecctro> you make a good point.
[23:00:40] <mecctro> I'd by one, but I drink soylent.
[23:01:13] <pinchy> how long u been doing the soylent drink? u like it?
[23:01:42] <mecctro> I make my own, I'm actually writing code now to optimize my diet.
[23:01:53] <mecctro> it's not bad, depending on what you're expecting.
[23:02:31] <pinchy> do u rely on it 100% or augment a regular food diet?
[23:02:50] <mecctro> For me it helps manage my diet better / cheaper, I'm liquid and keto. I have 2 meals a week, or on holiday.
[23:03:14] <mecctro> Howver my 2 meals are considerably smaller than typical meals.
[23:03:19] <mecctro> however*
[23:04:37] <pinchy> u make something similar to that DIY soylent? some sort of flour as a base?
[23:06:25] <mecctro> I don't have that luxury, as I don't eat anything with carbohydrates / sugar / starch. Though, there are keto DIY ones. Mine is considerably different.
[23:06:54] <mecctro> I also stack my neurotropics in my diet as well.
[23:08:30] <mecctro> The program I'm writing should help machine learn all possible recipes given certain conditions.
[23:09:18] <mecctro> they will most likely taste horrible
[23:09:20] <mecctro> lol
[23:11:30] <pinchy> yea ive been experiementing with vegetarian diet and tried hemp protein supplement. you have to really force yourself to swallow the stuff. it looks like green dried cow shit, and smells about the same
[23:11:57] <mecctro> Hemp seed is terribly good for you
[23:12:20] <mecctro> while trialing my program, spirulina / hemp seed came up over and over
[23:12:29] <pinchy> a friend of mine came over and was all interested, "ohh let me see " and took a whiff "wow that smells like shit" haha
[23:12:44] <mecctro> had to write in a limiter (I'm not drinking a pound of hemp seed because the program says so)
[23:12:50] <mecctro> lmao
[23:12:51] <pinchy> yea usually the worst tasting stuff is the best for u heh
[23:13:03] <mecctro> hulled hemp seed doesn't taste horrible
[23:13:18] <mecctro> hulled hemp oil is a hell of a lot easier, and just about as good for you
[23:13:21] <pinchy> what was that guy jack lalanne, said something like "if it tastes good put it back"
[23:13:41] <mecctro> not sure, it just depends for me.
[23:14:00] <mecctro> I love a lot of the typical things people hate (vegetables)
[23:14:20] <pinchy> i heard flax seed is real good for u, might have to order some. u cant find these weird supplements around here
[23:14:23] <mecctro> it's all subjective, hell there are people who eat and love maggot cheese
[23:14:38] <pinchy> theres a whole foods here, might have to see what they got
[23:14:39] <mecctro> flaxseed is pretty decent, as well as the oil
[23:15:01] <mecctro> whole-foods carries a lot of this type of stuff.
[23:15:14] <mecctro> I order most of mine, as it's cheaper.
[23:15:28] <mecctro> but for regular meals I buy (or eat my grown) produce.
[23:16:34] <mecctro> There's a LOT of interesting (and forgotten) grains / foods.
[23:16:56] <pinchy> i tried some of that quinoa stuff, that tastes pretty good
[23:17:14] <mecctro> chia is pretty decent too
[23:17:17] <pinchy> they say its got all the protein u need. bit pricey of course
[23:18:06] <pinchy> someone mentioned i think on the soylent discussion about a 'weed' called amaranth
[23:18:44] <pinchy> syobean growers hate it coz its a hard to control weed, but apparently its similar to quinoa
[23:19:02] <pinchy> they ought to just grow that instead
[23:19:32] <mecctro> between chia, spirulina, hemp seed you can live with little to no issue
[23:19:45] <mecctro> amaranth is also a pretty ok one.
[23:19:50] <mecctro> I'd rather it than soy
[23:20:02] <mecctro> soybeans or horrible, especially for men (increased estrogen)
[23:20:17] <mecctro> I'd rather soy just not exist.
[23:20:30] <mecctro> It's in absolutely everything they can put it in now
[23:20:34] <mecctro> it and wood-pulp
[23:20:39] <mecctro> filler galore
[23:21:34] <pinchy> i ordered some pea protein, ill give this a whirl. was before taking some pricey unflavoured lactose free whey
[23:22:11] <mecctro> pea protein isn't horrible to get down, it mixing with lactose fairly well.
[23:22:16] <mecctro> mixes*
[23:22:35] <mecctro> It has a bit of a (not so good) flavor
[23:22:49] <mecctro> but it's fairly easily fixed with a few easy tweaks.
[23:23:00] <mecctro> is it flavored?
[23:23:06] <pinchy> well it couldnt be as bad as that hemp stuff haha
[23:23:30] <pinchy> it was one of those u would have to work really hard to smile when u eat it
[23:23:55] <pinchy> no i cant stand any of those flavoured protein supplements
[23:24:10] <pinchy> there ok fr about a day, but after a while it just gets nasty
[23:24:11] <mecctro> I have no idea what that was, but it sounds like it had spirulina (seaweed) in it... which can smell like shit, especially from bad producers (nasty microbes have popped up from bad producers)
[23:24:57] <mecctro> I don't like the pre-flavored stuff either, are you mixing it with liquid?
[23:25:07] <pinchy> someone said hemp hearts are pretty good
[23:25:29] <pinchy> the whey i just mix it in a glass of soymilk
[23:25:54] <pinchy> they hemp stuff i mixed with quaker oats and water
[23:26:06] <mecctro> hemp hearts are great, a lot like the consistency of quinoa
[23:26:30] <mecctro> great breakfast replacement, or with other grains.
[23:26:51] <mecctro> barley is pretty decent for ya, as well as spelt.
[23:27:06] <mecctro> make it about the same as with oats.
[23:27:06] <pinchy> i used to eat white instant rice, after switching to brown rice and whole grain pasta i dont fart near as much
[23:27:43] <pinchy> that white rice and white pasta make u stumble rumble like a cement mixer
[23:27:51] <mecctro> I try to stay away from anything bleached
[23:27:59] <mecctro> for obvious reasons
[23:28:01] <mecctro> lol
[23:29:26] <mecctro> keto is great for my migraines, too good to go back to carbs.
[23:29:46] <pinchy> I used to eat sweet potatos but those things make me gassy as well
[23:29:47] <mecctro> I'd rather eat piles of shit smelling butt-grain, then get one more of those fucking migraines.
[23:31:45] <mecctro> sweet potatoes give me gas as well, probably the worst is sun-chokes
[23:32:07] <mecctro> which, apparently, can be made into alcohol with painstaking effort
[23:32:45] <mecctro> even though it contains no sugar (some weird b vitamin like substance, should my memory serve correct)
[23:33:10] <pinchy> i liek candied yams on holidays
[23:33:31] <mecctro> I miss yams
[23:33:35] <pinchy> ive been going out of my way to avoid trans fats
[23:33:45] <pinchy> i read that any "cumbly" like pasty is full of it
[23:33:50] <mecctro> I can have them in small amounts, but it's pretty limited
[23:33:55] <pinchy> "crumbly"
[23:34:31] <pinchy> i used to eat those powdered donuts, and the chocolate covered ones
[23:34:37] <mecctro> I only eat medium chain triglycerides, where possible.
[23:35:03] <mecctro> I fucken hate store-bought donuts.
[23:35:25] <mecctro> I can understand the appeal with a few flavors.
[23:35:34] <pinchy> well as long as there dry, u knw the white ones in the bag or box, when they get the slightest bit of moisture there ruined
[23:35:37] <mecctro> but overall, it just makes me feel like pure shit.
[23:37:04] <pinchy> theres a donut shop near work and maybe once every couple of months someone goes to get a dozen. I think they use palm oil. there not as crumbly as old style one are. theres sort of chewey when fresh
[23:37:34] <mecctro> I like the old-style donuts a bit better.
