I am sure we will get there.
If Star Trek communicators turned into cell phones (it became real!), then I hope the same thing happens with replicators.
A device that can use existing matter to create (3d print) an actual aged, cooked, and seasoned ribeye steak without having to kill anything seems like a win all around.

@Thenomain Your Shadowrun low lifestyle purchase gives you regular soy-based proteins that you can use any number of chemicals to flavor it.

Someburros has gluten free hot sauce.
I ate a half pint of it today munching on chips.I no longer eat Someburros gluten free hot sauce because I'm having a Fight Milk moment.

@Wretched Does it come in the awesome box, and when you take it out of the box it expaaaaaaaaaaaaaaands like a sponge?

A worthy set of morals to live by, if I do say so, myself.

RE: RL things I love
@Wretched Thems my boys, right there. I actually have a few friends in the Hail Satan? documentary that's just come out (probably soon to Amazon). Because they fucking won in Mississippi over the 15 week ban, the 6 week ban is not likely to hold up, either. Federal judge is poised to tell them no. That judge said "Isn't 6 weeks less than 15? This reeks of defiance against the court system". That doesn't sound like a bought or paid judge to me.
(For those not in the know) TST has done some good work. I wish more people understood that it's not a bunch of people who actually believe in Satan or that some kind of stupid anti-Jesus magic will make Satan come to Earth. They're just using the iconography as a means to using the same language about the dissolution of church and state to have their own "religious liberty", which is pretty much summed up as "My body belongs to me".
Great work. Proud of them.

@Tyche Yeah I hear ya. I apologize if I was trivializing a medical thing; mea culpa.
But I wish there was some kind of "weight loss death ray" every now and then. I'd rent an ice cream truck, put up pictures that say "WEIGHT LOSS MACHINE" on the side, and drive around the neighborhoods charging $50 per shot.
Pew. PewPew.

I'm not taking notes.
I'm collecting information for a school paper.

RE: What do you eat?
Vegetarianism is simple. Veganism is less simple.
I've had a decent sampling of "Vegan substitute foods" (cheese, meat, and other products), and my assessment is that I think vegan food producers should spend less time trying to create vegan versions of non-vegan foods, but focus on making openly vegan foods better.
I love veggie burgers, but vegan cheese (without milk) is not tasty, nor is it actually cheese. So what I'm saying is, I think instead of "Impossible Food" substitutes, I don't care if it's a burger patty made of bean curd and soy, or a mass of legumes broiled into a puck like falafel. I get excited about new recipes and flavors, but if I hear "Vegan Cheese", I think in my head what cheese tastes like, and every...fucking...time the taste hits my tongue I have that weird sensation where you're expecting one flavor, get another, and then immediately your brain questions whether or not that odd flavor means food poisoning.
To be honest, there's a lot of stuff in those categories that I'd go vegetarian for, but not because I want to trick myself out of wanting sirloin, but because I love falafel.

Ho-lee piss does spironolactone make you have to pee. All the time.
I was on furosemide for 10 days. I lost 38 pounds of water weight. I was in the bathroom almost every hour.
Could you repeat the name of the medication and if it's over the counter or mail-order from either Canada or Mexico?

@Wretched JESUS CHRIST. That's about as egregious as a Cinnabon.

Alien RPG coming soon...
New Alien RPG is coming. Why this is intriguing (especially in a mush sense) is because this TT RPG is boasting tools to run 2 different kinds of games...
-
Campaign mode. Long term. Etc.
-
Cinematic mode, which is designed for 1 shots and single nights of gaming.
Cinematic mode may contain some tools and ideas (perhaps even systems) that might work well in some mush event contexts.
Either way, preorders start 5 days from now, and once the pre-order is verified you get the Cinematic Rules PDF starter kit.
Oh...and yes...it includes both "Ripley and the Nostromo" styled setting information (I.e. Space truckers come across alien eggs and Weyland-Yutani fuckery) as well as...
COLONIAL MARINES, BETCHSqueeeeeeeeee.

@Wretched said in Good or New Movies Review:
@Ghost That sounds like a movie theatre that respects it's customers... we dont believe in that around here. Unless its the super fancy dine in ones that'll charge you 3x normal for a little extra food and booze.
OH ABOUT THAT.
Alamo Drafthouse has 10 dollar movie tickets, $13 chicken tenders, $5.50 unlimited refill sodas, and 8 dollars for Guinness.
So...yeah. That. Now that I think about it...If I'm paying 13 dollars for chicken strips...
Then they better be some kind of Wellbutrin Enhanced Mar-A-Largo Gold Foil chicken strips with honey mustard that comes from the fabled HONEY MUSTARD TREE ORCHARD OF FILLORY. Shit better fill my tummy, battle my depression, and prove to me that magic actually exists all for $13 or fuck you, I'm getting McDonalds nuggies.

RE: RL things I love
I saw "fluency" described on the internet as knowing 10,000 words of a language. I also read that the average American knows 20,000 words, and that college-educated people know around 40,000 words in English.
Got me thinking about how I've been speaking English my entire life, and do I actually know 20,000 words in English?
When you consider the number of words you use daily, and how often you use those words, 20,000-40,000 actual words seems like an awful lot, doesn't it?

@Auspice I will try to remember this... Alamo?
Alamo Drafthouse. It's become my go-to movie theater.
They throw loud people out after one warning (seeya, loud-ass teens and crying babies!), do a lot of cool movie festival things (I saw THE MONSTER SQUAD there and met 3 of the actors), and deliver beer and burgers to your seats.

Okay, what the fuck? It turns out the guy has read almost every book I like, plays D&D (wtf?) and watches the same shows. We've been working together for two years and I had no clue - and he did know, so argh, why not say something so we can bond over nerdy shit? Come oooon man! He didn't even avoid the issue, it just didn't occur to him to say anything unless directly approached about it.
That's a great blossoming nerd bromance story.
Sounds like I'm joking, but I'm not. I think it's always great when 2 people nerdy for the same stuff have that moment of connection for the first time. It always feels pretty good.
