I have seen that book, but when I checked my outdoors section of my library, I couldn't find it.

This dude invented "Soylent", named after Soylent Green, so he doesn't have to eat.

Clodfobble 03-16-2013 11:40 PM

Heh... Dude may have come up with the idea on his own, but he certainly wasn't the first. What he's made is an elemental formula, the kind my kids were on for several months back in 2010-2011. Also called "complete enteral nutrition." There are several options on the market, but I also know parents who have made their own the same way he is doing, either to control cost, or because they don't like some of the extra ingredients in the retail versions.

He says in the article;

I read a textbook on physiological chemistry and took to the internet to see if I could find every known essential nutrient.
The all knowing internet. He may have even read some of your writings in his search.

It looks OK but most of the metals we eat are in ion form not in metals, so that may cause a problem, but other than that perhaps blend it with a cup of ice and two teaspoons of vanilla.

Google Nose,” still in Beta, “leverages new and existing technologies
to offer the sharpest olfactory experience available.”
Scratch and sniff books are one way to use Google Nose;
self-driving new car smell is another possible experience.

infinite monkey 04-03-2013 01:11 PM

It looks like one of those pots where you shove liquids up your nose.

I am going to invent a system that runs a regular everyday garden hose (or maybe a fire hose, for the real hypochondriacs) through a salt block, then attaches into your ass (this is the engineering part where I'm, um, stuck on the design details...maybe like a funnel shape with outwardly turned ridges so it keeps it in?) Turn the water on high, and clear out every passage you have. And some you didn't know you had.

I just remembered that you are an expert in that area, being a former producer of such devices yourself.

I think you just reinvented the colonic

infinite monkey 04-03-2013 03:44 PM

No, this isn't just for the colon. It's for noses and ears and baginas and moufs. It even reopens your belly button and spews out lint.

Takes care of all that weird orifice stuff all at once.

Lamplighter 04-05-2013 05:32 PM

A few nights ago, I watched a tv program about the vision of predators and their prey.

It seems that starting with some sort of fleshy, water-living worm eons ago,
a light-sensitive tissue evolved into the skull- and eye- stucture that
is common to all predators from the time of dinosaurs to today.

That is, prey animals have eyes yielding wide fields of vision with little or no overlap.
But predators have two forward-looking eyes with overlapping fields of acute vision for depth perception.

They used a cartoon video to describe the evolution of the retina, the lens, and the tapetal membrane of wolves and lions.
Then this video showed up today in the Google News...

can be programmed to undergo delicate shape changes, akin to the unfurling of a flower’s petals.

Built with a custom-made 3-D printer by scientists at the University of Oxford in England,
the “droplet network” comprises tens of thousands of tiny water droplets connected by lipid layers.

How do you run a lawnmower up the side of that chair?

Regardless of the amusement value, I'm not charmed by the idea of sitting in a lump that is also attractive to ticks and hornets.

ZenGum 04-21-2013 07:21 PM

So, you won't be giving me any lap dances then, eh? ;)

orthodoc 04-21-2013 09:17 PM

The clock is great, Grav. I want one.

And then a turn with the anti-gravity slippers.

That puzzle isn't even the worst, Grav. I've seen one that has no edges, is laid out hexagonally instead of in a standard rectangle grid, and on the other side of the puzzle is printed the same repetitive image, but rotated 180 degrees.

Ocean's Edge 05-06-2013 06:36 PM

I saw one once called 'Spilled Milk" ... it was ALL white, irregularly shaped, 1000 pcs....

I like a puzzle - but that's going too far

Lamplighter 05-06-2013 08:20 PM

Our family makes every jigsaw puzzle impossible.

There is always someone who swipes one puzzle piece,
and it's not realized until we get down to the last few pieces.

My middle daughter has an evil reputation for this, so
everyone thinks of her first, and gives her the hard time
...whether she did it that particular time or not.

Gravdigr 05-07-2013 04:01 PM

That would infuriate me.

Happy Monkey 05-07-2013 04:19 PM

I had a fun puzzle where all of the pieces were the same shape, and the picture looked fine in many configurations, but you had to use clues on the pieces themselves to figure out where they went.

BigV 05-09-2013 03:10 PM

I'm puzzled by the price. $74? Wow.

Folding kayak.

This folding kayak is made from the same material as those corrugated plastic political signs.
Attachment 44142

They stamp out a sheet into a special shape.
Attachment 44143

Crease folds into it like origami, and add some hardware and fittings. So it looks like this when you start to fold it into a kayak.
Attachment 44144

It folds into a kayak shape and a few buckles and gaskets hold it together watertight, which is easy because the panel edges are all above the waterline and only the folds are below the waterline. It's quite rigid.
Attachment 44145
Folds up into a lightweight 25 pound package you can put in the trunk of your car.

I've never shopped for a kayak before--is that more or less than a traditional low-end fiberglass kayak?

footfootfoot 05-23-2013 06:02 PM

You can get a pretty decent ABS kayak for that much, $300 for a low end model. Fiberglass kayaks are sort of like CDs, most people are just using Mp3s these days.

orthodoc 05-23-2013 06:34 PM

The panel edges are above the waterline, but don't kayaks roll?

glatt 05-23-2013 08:12 PM

There's supposed to be a gasket or something. There are pictures on FB of somebody rolling it repeatedly.

It's competitively priced. It appears to be more rigid than a molded plastic cheaper kayak, so I bet it competes more with the more expensive Fiberglass ones and is lighter than they are. 25 pounds is pretty amazing.

orthodoc 05-23-2013 08:37 PM

That really is amazing. To be able to fold it up and put it in the trunk of your car ... I love it!

footfootfoot 05-23-2013 09:01 PM

I'm skeptical about its longevity. It seems more novelty or emergency that practical.
[/fun sponge]

glatt 05-23-2013 09:11 PM

Time will tell. It's also a little on the short side at only 12 feet long. I wonder how it handles? I think it's a neat idea though. Those corrugated plastic signs are very durable, so I would expect it to last as long as the molded plastic ones. I'll let the early adopters beta test it. I already have a kayak.
