Well I know if you mix caffiene and alcohol, you wont get drunk because the caffiene counteracting it.

So whats the point of mixing things that makes you less alert and more alert in one drink?

I don't think caffeine stops you from getting drunk.

KillerNN
11-22-2010, 01:42 AM
Instead of getting drunk, it is more of a high since the caffeine is not letting people feel the drunk as fast. Some call it "Liquid Cocaine", because many times people don't know they are drunk when drinking them.

I don't know if I should see this post as sad or ignorant or what... The idea that you have to be fat to enjoy food. Really.

Anyway, Alcohol and caffeine was pretty much summed up by Zer0 with his "upper and a downer". Simply, alcohol is a depressant (depresses neuronal function) and caffeine is a stimulant (stimulating neuronal function). Therefore, when you combine the two, your neurons are under the effects of both which can either cancel out or shift one way or the other. Usually, the caffeine wins out, so you feel more alert or at least your body is. However, the alcohol is still in your system, causing havoc. So you end up thinking you are OK which puts you at risk for overconsumption and alcohol poisoning, when you are a complete moron because you can't count your drinks. You are still drunk but you are still going.

It is the same idea behind the theory that if you are drunk/hungover you can fix yourself with black coffee. All it does is get your neurons firing but you are still drunk/hungover - which could be more dangerous.

Will that the pretty thing about a hacked ps3,you don't need no blue ray,no burning,no shit. it's all a software hax,there is no drive flashing of any sort or any hardware modding (so we finally gonna enjoy stuff like a game console's WARRANTY) . It's all about a usb flash that you plug it in the ps3 to install some sort of a backup manager thinger that allows you to play the ps3 games that you already transferred to it's hard disk.

On the subject of food. I found a great recipe for a taco/burrito/w/e sauce.
As a warning you have to enjoy a medium to mild spice and the taste of Chipotle chilies.

If you're serving more than 6 people-
Buy a can of Chipotle in adobo sauce.
3 Chipotle chilies in a blender/food processor. Blend until smooth.
Add one cup of mayo and one cup of sour cream. Blend again.
Add some of the adobo sauce to taste.

It's awesome. If you're nervous about the mayo you can substitute just all sour cream and heavy cream [but I'd have to go do that to confirm the consistency].

If you're serving for self I suggest 1/2-1 chili and 1/3 of the cream[s] and mayo.

Depending on how you are downloading and your video player (and of course your internet connection, but thats another issue), this argument is invalid.
ex. FTP + GOM= watching while downloading. I've done it many times.

with torrents this doesnt work, ofc.


@NLB you buy to support the makers? enjoy that. one dvd wont hurt them.
or is it low speed/download limit?

Also the tv argument (whoever mentioned it) is shit. With hd tvs connecting a laptop/pc is no problem (usually), and video game consoles watching a downloaded movie on your tv is no biggie.

low speed/bandwith. It has like 1000Mb/s for Max frequency, if you take into consideration the other people sharing the internet, I got 250Mb/s max frequency for bandwith. CAT 6 has 2500 Mb/s for bandwith so I would have 625 Mb/s max frequency. Fiber optic cables got high speed(fastest cable) but don't know about bandwith, I'll look into it or ask my IT cabling teacher.

But then downloading is still unnecessary, unless you have to DL rather than stream to watch it without issues. You could just be streaming. So my point is still valid. Figures.


I torrent things if I do want to be able to leave and come back to a large amount of things, like an entire season of something. But if it's something I'm just going to sit down and then watch,* streaming is fabulous.

But then downloading is still unnecessary, unless you have to DL rather than stream to watch it without issues. You could just be streaming. So my point is still valid. Figures.

Nope, your point is still invalid. Your point was that you have to wait a lot longer till it downloads than wait for the buffer to load. I clearly showed that it can be invalid, depending on how you download. Whether downloading is better or not is irrelevant to that sole point.

Downloading, even if watching while downloading, still has its advantages. Re-watching, connection issues (if your connection breaks often you would have to rebuffer and shit, but with downloading that is not an issue), etc..

Anyways, I usually do what Miburo does, torrent it in advance. Though, depending on ftp availability, I might download via ftp (better speed, can decide to watch while downloading if I decide I dont wanna wait, etc)

Download isnt necessary. You only rewatch stuff that you really really like. And I buy DVD movie that I really like. Its always comes extra stuff so ok. If its an ok movie I just stream it.

I only use torrent to get stuff like NDS Roms, or japanese hentai games.

That wouldn't make her point invalid, retard. Since, like you pointed out yourself, it depends on how you download. It's a perfectly valid point in situations where it applies.

Her statement didn't include the exception, because she probably didn't think anyone would nitpick about it like a faggot. She probably wasn't expecting any debate about it, and therefore saw no need to state the obvious. You came in here nitpicking like a faggot, so you should have known better.

Maybe instead of trying to tell her that her statement is invalid like a douche, you could have simply asked her if she intended to have her statement universally applied to all downloading situations. I'd bet she'd say 'no.' Meaning you were being a fag based on simple miscommunication. Good job.

She didn't include, nor did she exclude the statement. Again, like you said, I've pointed out that . Anyways, we were talking about ways of obtaining/watching video, and the advantages and disadvantages. I added by stating a situation which is NOT obvious. Most (or at least a significant enough portion that makes it not obvious) people dont know that you can watch while downloading (in certain situations of course), that post was mostly meant to be informative.

Anyways, the discussion was already going on, so saying she probably wasnt expecting a debate was stupid. Oh, and about the nitpicking, was I nitpicking about what she said anymore than she was nitpicking about what I said.

Also, you talking about asking her if I she was speaking about all was unnecessary and a bit stupid. Like you know yourself, I didn't say her point was invalid in all situations, just in that one. And in her reply she talked about that situation, and not in general. So the whole "all downloading situations" and miscommunication shit is bull. I mentioned that situation, she continued with it, dont be a douche and barge in talking about all situations and different topics and shit. Oh, and why be a hypocrite? if you tell me that i shouldn't have done something, why do it your self?

Anyways, her statement, in that situation, is still invalid, even with her bad attempt to defend it.

Downloading being necessary (in that situation) or not does in no way affect the fact that her waiting argument (in that situation) is invalid. Horrible attempt.

You don't know what most people know or don't know. It also doesn't matter, since I'm not talking about what people do or don't know. I'm talking about what is obvious. It's obvious that it doesn't apply to when you can view while downloading. Period.

And if you meant it to just be informative, then there would be no need to tell her that her statement is invalid. Which is just a douchy way of telling someone they're wrong.

Anyways, the discussion was already going on, so saying she probably wasnt expecting a debate was stupid. Oh, and about the nitpicking, was I nitpicking about what she said anymore than she was nitpicking about what I said.

How would casually talking about something mean it would be stupid to not expect a debate about it? It's not stupid to assume you don't need to present your stance on a matter in such a way to avoid possible counter-arguments when you're casually discussing a subject.

Also, you talking about asking her if I she was speaking about all was unnecessary and a bit stupid. Like you know yourself, I didn't say her point was invalid in all situations, just in that one.

No, you said her point was invalid, faggot. Scroll up. You then said it can be invalid in a certain situation, which has a totally different meaning than saying her point is invalid.

Just like she said streaming is better than downloading (in her opinion), because of buffering being faster than downloading the whole thing. It looks like she's saying it's better in all instances, because she didn't state the (obvious) part about it only applying to situations where downloading doesn't allow viewing till completion. Which I'm sure she would have, if you just asked her instead of going all 'invalid point durr hurr." She was just casually posting, you were picking a fight. Of course you're going into it with your hands up. She was just chilling there though.

And I'm not being a hypocrite, since they're different situations. I'm doing to you what you did to her. You're not doing to someone what they did to you. You came in being a douche unprovoked. It's like punching a guy who punched you. Yeah, we're both punching someone, but the situation is still different. One is assault, the other is self-defense.

Anyways, her statement, in that situation, is still invalid, even with her bad attempt to defend it.

Downloading being necessary (in that situation) or not does in no way affect the fact that her waiting argument (in that situation) is invalid. Horrible attempt.

Thanks for that non-douchy, informative tidbit, fag. Seriously, what is it? You trying to beat her in a debate about something she wasn't even debating? Or are you just trying to be a helpful dude by sharing information? Cut the shit, babydick. You're just being a douche.

But rejuvenating old organs in mice does not necessarily mean a human treatment is on the way, the researchers warn. For one, mice make telomerase throughout their lives, but the enzyme is switched off in adult humans, as it can cause unchecked cell replication (read: cancer). None of the mice in the study developed cancer, but there’s no telling if human tissues would tolerate the treatment so well.

That is the one part that worries me. But if we can get around that, Science will prevail.

That's very cool - but completely artificial. They made the mouse really old then made it rejuvenate. That's a hard sell on human tissue. Particularly because there's no indication that just upping your telomerase is good enough to cause the same effect. Still, cool. Now, if we can cure the issues with human overpopulation due to just regular old fucking, we might be able to fit in some sort of immortal population.

Also, don't worry if the little mice develop cancer. Science has already cured mouse line cancer. Really.

Hey man. They probably just didn't want to wait around for the mice to grow old naturally. And you probably can't just buy the old ones, no market for old mice or something. I dunno.

Still, they're working on making shit younger, and they took unfit for battle mice and made them more battle ready. So, that's awesome, and relative to my interests.

Don't worry, if such a treatment will be available, it will be pretty expensive. So that will divide the society by those who will be "immortal" and those who won't. That will create a multiple class society. There will be a need for a "law enforcement group" that will protect the rich from the poor. It will be just like in some townships, just on a larger scale. And well, the "immortal" people may have a need for stricter laws with a death penalty for minor infrictions. Or TV shows like in "Running Man".

So don't worry, that technology will create a solution to the overpopulation. If this is worth achieving, is questionable.

Well, my point was really just that that the scientists were able to remove a factor causing a problem then replace it to solve it. It is akin to me taking your liver, watching you get all full to toxins and then putting it back and seeing you get better. Sweet - I just proved livers work.

Overall, I don't disagree with working on aging. I just don't know that it be something we can defeat because it isn't simple. Dealing with age related disease so that more people live longer and healthier is far more important. Still, the science is very cool. This goes in the box with the species of roundworm that scientists made live 4 times as long with the same principles.

I dunno, man. I mean, I guess it is like taking your liver out, and then putting it back in. But the point would be more of a "Hey, you can put your liver back in" kinda thing. Which isn't all that neato when it comes to livers, since that's old news. But if they make you old as fuck and then make you young again, then going "hey, you can make shit young again" is pretty super-fuckin'-neato shit.

Unless I'm not understanding the article or some shit. Because I thought it was saying that they just forced the aging process, and just made the mice get old as fuck really fast. I figure once you're old, then you're old. No going back. Which is different than getting fucked up and then getting better, like what the liver analogy is more akin to. Your liver sucks, you get fucked up, they fix your liver, you get better. But when you get old, you're fucked. You don't get younger.

I shall translate this.

The researchers genetically engineered mice that lacked telomerase, an enzyme that stops telomeres from shortening. As such, the telomeres rapidly grew shorter and the mice aged quickly, developing all the signs of old age including damaged organs, a shrinking brain, and infertility. The researchers then injected the mice with a cocktail that reactivated their telomerase. This didn’t just slow the aging process, but actually reversed the effects of aging, essentially making the mice grow younger.

This is part of the article in question. The mice were genetically altered to lack an enzyme called telomerase. Its purpose is to stop this portion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telomere) of your DNA from shortening. Appearently when the telomere shortens it is a big factor in the matter of the aging process, given that the mice that didn't have telomerase had a lot of bad organs as a result of not having telomerase at all. When they were given the magical "Youth of Mouse" formula, somehow their organs regenerated to a more youthful state which is the shit (Progress).

But rejuvenating old organs in mice does not necessarily mean a human treatment is on the way, the researchers warn. For one, mice make telomerase throughout their lives, but the enzyme is switched off in adult humans, as it can cause unchecked cell replication (read: cancer). None of the mice in the study developed cancer, but there’s no telling if human tissues would tolerate the treatment so well.

But the big difference between them and us is that mice produce this enzyme their entire lives whereas we don't. We only produce this enzyme until a certain point in all of our lives, which is different for each person. The article is also saying that the scientists are afraid that if this process is done on humans, then it may not end up as well as it did for the mice. But it is possible that it can work though. They need to find guniea pigs for this to find out in the name of science.

tl dr; This means that basically, you will still be old on the outside, but your organs will be good as new if this process works for us. It may not be the "Fountain of Youth", but this is also a big stepping stone toward immortality nonetheless in my opinion. Eventually, they will do this and it may be sooner than that website predicted.

Just some corrections/expansions to your post, Kinako.

We only produce this enzyme until a certain point in all of our lives, which is different for each person.

Telomerase is produced mainly in fetal stage and once the fetus reaches a certain stage (normally a few weeks before birth), the production is stopped in all cells with the exception of certain cells of the nervous, immune and reproductive systems, that in time will diminish production until shutdown. This shutdown happens to nervous and immune system at the teen years; menopause and "andropause" (I put in quotations since it's a medical condition, not an actual phase of a man's body) are the shutdown for the reproductive system.

This means that basically, you will still be old on the outside, but your organs will be good as new if this process works for us.

The biggest organ of the human body is the skin, so if other organs are repaired, so is the skin.

OK, I get you. If you can stand some nerdspeak, I'll explain what I mean.

The experiment didn't drive natural aging faster, but rather removed a natural process that led to the mimicry of cell, i.e. the lack of the repair mechanism for the telomeres, led to the cells reaching senescence or the point to which they won't divide, thus mimicking old age. True old age is a process that involves so much more, particularly changes in DNA activity and protein processing (or lack thereof). This is not reflected in this model. This model produces a lack of cells and rapid breakdown of body function. Again mimicking old age. I would argue that these mice were able to regain "youth" because their cells and, more importantly, their DNA didn't "think" they were old.

An example. Dolly the cloned sheep. They took an adult cell and inserted the nuclear material into an ova and created an exact clone of the adult sheep. What came from that is a newborn "adult" sheep. All of its cells acted if they were adult and the sheep did not grow or mature in a normal fashion. Essentially, if we were to take a cell from a 25 year old human, clone them and raise them from ova, the newborn would be essentially 25 years old, even though it would look like a baby. It would not have any of the youth or fetal programs that give to normal development and its lifespan would be severely shortened.

The field that has come from this is epigenetics. It basically describes the state your DNA is in. There are several DNA modifications that can promote or hinder transcription/activation of numerous genes. Some are hard to reverse. There are many many fetal programs that represent this - these are genes that work when you develop but shut off once born or soon after. A cool one is one I work in, the immune system. The immune system is a defense in the adult life, but in the fetal world, where you don't need it, the same programs or alterations are active in organs (in my case, heart) for development. These programs are "silenced" by DNA modification once you are born. There is evidence that they can be reactivated in times of severe disease or stress, and we try to figure it out so we can take advantage of it for therapy or prevention.

But I digress. The liver analogy was just an example of how I view their techniques. Yes, cool, but yields only so much pertinent information in my mind. The biggest finding is not that the cells became "youthful" again but rather that they could deliver telomerase to the cells. But then, we've developed many methods for that. I would like to see more control over the system in such a delivery method to prevent any sort of neoplasms from such a treatment.

But again, this is probably quibbles. This is what I get from the press release, which is naturally weak on the actual sceintific method used. Once the inevitable paper is out, I will read it and get a better idea of what is going on.

And I'll make you a deal. If I come across any ideas for longevity research, I'll make sure it gets out to improve all our chances of a long and wondrous life. I don't want to live any shorter than I have to either.

Which is amusing because probably handling all the lab chemicals will give me cancer one day. Oh the irony!

I would like to see more control over the system in such a delivery method to prevent any sort of neoplasms from such a treatment.

But again, this is probably quibbles. This is what I get from the press release, which is naturally weak on the actual sceintific method used. Once the inevitable paper is out, I will read it and get a better idea of what is going on.

OK, I get you. If you can stand some nerdspeak, I'll explain what I mean.

The experiment didn't drive natural aging faster, but rather removed a natural process that led to the mimicry of cell, i.e. the lack of the repair mechanism for the telomeres, led to the cells reaching senescence or the point to which they won't divide, thus mimicking old age. True old age is a process that involves so much more, particularly changes in DNA activity and protein processing (or lack thereof). This is not reflected in this model. This model produces a lack of cells and rapid breakdown of body function. Again mimicking old age. I would argue that these mice were able to regain "youth" because their cells and, more importantly, their DNA didn't "think" they were old.

An example. Dolly the cloned sheep. They took an adult cell and inserted the nuclear material into an ova and created an exact clone of the adult sheep. What came from that is a newborn "adult" sheep. All of its cells acted if they were adult and the sheep did not grow or mature in a normal fashion. Essentially, if we were to take a cell from a 25 year old human, clone them and raise them from ova, the newborn would be essentially 25 years old, even though it would look like a baby. It would not have any of the youth or fetal programs that give to normal development and its lifespan would be severely shortened.

The field that has come from this is epigenetics. It basically describes the state your DNA is in. There are several DNA modifications that can promote or hinder transcription/activation of numerous genes. Some are hard to reverse. There are many many fetal programs that represent this - these are genes that work when you develop but shut off once born or soon after. A cool one is one I work in, the immune system. The immune system is a defense in the adult life, but in the fetal world, where you don't need it, the same programs or alterations are active in organs (in my case, heart) for development. These programs are "silenced" by DNA modification once you are born. There is evidence that they can be reactivated in times of severe disease or stress, and we try to figure it out so we can take advantage of it for therapy or prevention.

But I digress. The liver analogy was just an example of how I view their techniques. Yes, cool, but yields only so much pertinent information in my mind. The biggest finding is not that the cells became "youthful" again but rather that they could deliver telomerase to the cells. But then, we've developed many methods for that.

Ohhh, alright. I think I get it then. I think...

It's like, getting old involves a lot of shit. They took just a single factor, and fucked with that. But besides that thing, the mice were actually still young and totally good to go. Then they fixed that one thing. And because everything else was still good, the mice got 'better'.

Whereas with actual old mice, fixing that one thing wouldn't make them young and battle ready. Since all that other shit would still be making them all old and shitty.

Assuming I comprehended that shit, then alright. Cool. Thanks, comrade. That's definitely not as awesome as the way I was seeing it. But still decently awesome. I still got some time before I'm old as fuck, so hopefully they get it all sorted out by then. If not, or I die gloriously in battle beforehand, then oh well. I'll just get my battle on in Valhalla instead. So it's all good.

Loki is said to be a god and a giant (jötuun). He is often the antagonist of the gods, but sometimes he helps them. He is the father of Hel (mistress of the underworld), the wolf Fenrir and the "world serpent" Jörmungandr, Sleipnir the eight-legged horse and Nari/Norfi. He is said to be very treacherous and tricky.

No need to apologize for curiosity. A Pantheon is a gathering of powerful people. The Norse Pantheon consists of the Aesir and Vanir, or the tribes the gods are from. The biggest names in the Pantheon are Odin, Thor, Freyja, Frig, Baldr (whose murder causes Loki to be bound and tortured by venom dripping on him, which is caught by his wife Sigyn until she has to empty the bowl, allowing some of the venom to drip into Loki and his thrashing causes earthquakes), and Freyr. Those are the ones I can list off the top of my head

I am not exactly sure what you mean ACT, sorry, but I think the goverment has a right to secrecy. There are enough stupid people who will make a big deal out of things the government does. Like the Tea Party for example. These leaks could be used by populistic polititians to gang up on the USA, or warmongers could use the chance to heat up the public against Pakistan for example. So those leaks being secret is totally understandable for me.

That those documents are accessable to every US governement employee, and the more secret stuff is still accessable to 850,000 people it was only a question of time until they would be made public.

And everybody in Germany knows, that our foreign minister is gay, arogant and has no political substance what so ever. Why should a diplomat withhold such a observation?

-wiki leaks-
Firstly as a US citizen I think that wikileaks has its right to publish, and bring the light any of these stories they wish. Just like the people whom make up the content of the articles have the right to try and mask their activities.

That being said just because you are unaware of something does not necessarily mean someone is trying to keep the information secret. Simply that you have not look hard enough to find it yourself. Additionally I read some articles way back when from WL(I no longer seem to have access to the site for anything current). None of it was particularly earth shattering news. Some of it while informative, is a lot of day one political shenanigans, and corporate espionage. Frankly discovering some ambiguous cabinet member is surreptitiously collection stats on a foreign diplomat. Or that soldiers oversees are stealing religious artifacts. Is not particularly shocking. While in some cases deplorable its unfortunately to be expected. Just as many similar stories are brought to the mainstream media.

I was more shocked and weirded out by that nonsense story about the secret service collecting presidential fecal matter for incineration. Then most of the older wikileak stuff I can remember.


-Secrecy vs Right to know-
If by some cosmic miracle. I became a major player in the political, financial or corporate arenas. I would expect a certain level of privacy. Perhaps even be willing, and justified within my own conscience to keep secrets. If I truly felt it was the right course of action. Not being in any of those positions I can not say for sure how I would act. Being on the outside looking in, its easy for me to say that I would stick to the strictest of ethical standards. I believe I would, but yet to have been put to that kind of test who knows.

On the flip side if you are someone who actively seeks to be an informed global citizen. I feel it is a right, and obligation to stay aware of such matters. Whether national or international alike. Globalization is a very real almost societal evolutionary force. That touches and directs virtually every conceivable field of interest. The question should then become are you willing to help cultivate a universal phenomenon through said interest. Into something that benefits all of mankind? Or would you allow those who would subvert the rights of others. Perverting a seemingly inevitable system while still in their infancies. Used to exploit a majority, while satiating only a few. To maintain unequivocal and unmonitored control? I say nay!

Off hand I can think of one primary example from my own country. At one point in time it was constitutionally required for congress to 'open the books' as it where to the public. An annual publication that documented the full budget and spending policies of congress. Where the money came from, and where/how it was used. Seems like a perfectly reasonable policy for a democracy to practice. As I'm aware (at-least from within my life time) there has been no such documentation available to the citizenry.

Now in the midst of economic turmoil, it seems logical that this information would be readily available to any who feels that they can contribute. Mind you, I am no CPA. However amongst all the fools. There has to be a few pretty smart guys and gals. Who if given the opportunity to review the financial figures. Might just be able to bring a unique and prosperous solution to the table.

Perhaps many are content to remain ignorant, but I would personally feel better for the worlds sake. Knowing I have access to the policies and actions of the government that represents ME. But so speaks a legend in his own mind=/

"Cut the head off the snake" was his actually quote. That and we need to put tracking devices in Guantanamo detainees and track their movements after we let them go. The one of our pussy ass diplomats was all like "Oh, Noez we can't do that. It will violate their civil rights." So Saudi King dude was like, "well why don't we just release them back on the battlefield and put some bullets in their ass next time instead of taking them alive." Then our pussy ass diplomat dude was all like, "but we got to take care of our prisoners and shit." Then awesome Saudi dude was like, "we can put them in our prisons. They're fucking hell holes compared to your pussy ass detention center." Then the dude in charge of Yemen is like "Hey Gaiz, if your got any Yemenis prisoners, we'll take them. Our prisons are way fucking worse then the Saudi's. Where we come from, being anally violated is a good day in prison." Then as usual our pussy ass diplomat wouldn't agree to to it.

Has anyone noticed how gay Spongebob has gotten? Like, in the new episodes, the guys always cross their legs like chicks instead of sitting like real guys. It's irritating. -_____-

Well, now I know. I should have looked it up before saying anything, but I know now.
Young one you have much to learn. Ragnarök is the prelude to the last battle. In the battle, some gods will die but after winning, they will be reborn again and the flooded world will be populated again. And their boats are called Dragonboats.
This.
Hahaha. Well I dunno what "stuck between a rock and a hard place" means either. :P

Oh fuck. I'm coughing blood. -_____- Gotta make a trip to the Emergency room. See you guys later.
Did you find out why you were coughing up blood? I coughed up blood when I was a lot younger because of some hockey related injury - couldn't play for a little bit. Never found out why either.
Nah it's cool because they are facts. Only watched season 1. Starting to watch 1000 ways to die.

Seen Manswers. It's definitely gay, and not manly.



I don't know how to cook shit. I can grill shit, like steaks and burgers. And I can make sandwiches. But that's pretty much it. Which sucks, because it's getting cold and shitty out, so grilling is less of an option. And sandwiches are awesome, but most of them aren't warm. And sometimes I feel like eating warm food.

So I'm trying to think of manly shit that I can eat during the winter. Stew is pretty damn manly, and it looks pretty easy as fuck to make if you get one of those crock pot thingers. Which are also cheap as fuck. So doing that.

Was going to just get a dehydrator thinger and just eat beef jerky all the time, but dehydrator thingers are kinda expensive. So fuck that. At least for now.

Only other shit I can think of that is manly to eat are those massive hunks of meat wrapped around that big ass bone thing that you see knights and vikings and shit like that eating in movies and whatnot. But I think I've already got a good selection of meat in my diet already. So eh.

Well, I went to the ER last night and told them I was coughing that shit up. My chest hurt like hell and I had breathing issues. UGH. They let me talk to my doctor and he tried to put me in one of those MRI things. Didn't go so well. I had a claustrophobic panic attack and flipped out inside. About an hour after they pulled me out and gave me a shitload of meds, I got a regular old X-ray. Turns out one of my ribs are broken and they didn't know about it. That fucked something up inside me apparently, and they told me a bunch of doctor mumbo jumbo bullshit that I didn't understand.(still was hyped up on meds at the time.) So in other words, I don't know exactly where the blood is coming from. But now I have a broken collarbone, AND a broken rib. I have to wear a freaking sling. I don't get it. My ARM isn't broken. -___-

kael03
12-01-2010, 09:25 PM
The sling is to keep your arm immobilized so it doesn't jar your collarbone.

Edit: I had to warn the doctors ahead of time that I'm claustrophobic when I had to get an MRI on my knee. They gave me a drug that relaxed me... a lot. I didn't go to school that day and spent the rest of the day playing Diablo 2 while high off my ass.

Miburo

At least it was just a broken rib. Those heal up pretty fast.

01purple
12-01-2010, 09:39 PM
Lucky. The shit they gave me AFTER the MRI incident made really loopy... What is that stuff anyway?

I couldn't warn them ahead of time. I didn't even realize I was claustrophobic until now. Usually when I have panic attacks in crowds and on buses and shit, people just tell me I'm overheating. -___-

Mibs: If you like cheesy, meaty kind of stuff, buy some macaroni and cheese (or make some from scratch) and cook it, then add huge chunks of meat and some peppers. Season it up with some salt and other such things, then pour it into a casserole dish. Bake it in the oven for like 30-45 minutes, then take it out. Crunchy, crispy, cheesy, meaty deliciousness. =D

Deadliest Warriors. A pretty damn decent show in my opinion.

One of the few shows I watch nowadays besides for Life and House. (Used to watch Criminal Minds)

It's "claustrophobia". Mine isn't extremely debilitating. I can go into relatively small spaces with little anxiety. But if I can't move my arms and legs I will have a major panic attack.

If that's how he is, then I probably have it bad. I can't get into small spaces without freaking out. Like, when I'm in a seat with two people on a bus, but on the window side? I panic. It sucks.

Stew is just a big, thick, meaty mix of a bunch of meat and whatever the fuck you feel like throwing in there. Like Vanity said, tastes like what you put in it. I like it with a lot of veggies and beef. It helps to toss a little beef bouillon in it for extra meaty flavor. :D

Miburo - I've been meaning to write out the classic home ec assignment were you can start with one chicken and eat for a week by progressing from roast chicken to pot pie to soup. But yeah, if you're looking for something simple and have a bit of time, roast chicken fits your meat on the bone.

Simply, chicken in roasting pan with onions and potatoes. You can stuff the bird or put some sort of herbs on it, but if you are like me and enjoy eating chicken skin, it doesn't matter. General rule is cook at 375 for 20min a pound plus an extra 20 minutes. Helps to have that meat thermometer but if you don't, you can pierce the bird - if the liquid runs clear, you are pretty good. Also, if it pink, don't eat. Good practice to also tent the chicken for 10-15 minutes after you pull it out just to be certain it cooked. If it's just you, you could eat that chicken over 2-3 meals easy.

Also, you get potatoes roasted in chicken grease - awesome.

EDIT: what's stew? Oh how I laugh.

Miburo
12-01-2010, 10:35 PM
Hell yeah, I like that skin. So I just get a chicken (Like a whole one?), throw it in a pan, and put that in the oven with some potatoes? I could probably do that. Copy and pasted into my recipe document. Fuck yeah, thanks.

@ Mibs- One's on analyzing the purpose of Greek goddesses and the other is writing about how caring about myth references in every day life made me a better person.

Or some raging fucktarded gay shit like that.



A simple one.

You need-
A can of beer
A full chicken
One onion
One can of tomato paste [they're tiny as fuck, you need to make sure it's tomato [I]paste]
Salt and pepper
Crock pot <-relatively inexpensive

Be sure to clean out the gizzards of the chicken. They will make it better.

-put the chicken in the crock pot
-cut the onion in half and stuff it in to the chicken
-liberally rub the chicken with desired amount of tomato paste [I use the whole can because it makes it tasty]
-season with salt and pepper
-Pour can of beer over it

Done. Can let that cook as long as desired as well [at least 2 hours to make sure the chicken is fully cooked]

Any beer is fine. If it's a big can I'd only suggest doing half or so. Little ones you can usually do most if not all of it. Really simple/fast and it tastes awesome. Can pour it over rice but I know noodles work as well.
