Meh, it was Seymour Cray. His mind operated at a whole different level than us mere mortals. If the history of the supercomputer interests you, the book The Supermen: The Story of Seymour Cray and the Technical Wizards Behind the Supercomputer is a great (if shortish) read.

eh, basically 4 ingredients.

  1. meal replacement powder (basically gives me about 30-40% of daily vitamin requirements). I use a local store brand but Slim-Fast or Nutri-bar work. Dry powder is about 100 calories, along with about 15% of daily fiber.

  2. Muscle mlik (lean) - mostly whey protein (16g), but also gives a relatively balanced amount of vitamins (bumps the total vitamin amount to about 50%) and calories/fat (150)

  3. Hemp Protein (provides a 50% of your daily fiber requirements, and also a good amount of protein (11g) and 130 calories.

  4. milk. about 750mL of homogenized (3.25% fat) milk. That's a big chunk, about 450 calories, 24g of protein, and obviously calcium and vitamins.

    i use a 1L water bottle. 1 scoop of each powder, milk until it's not quite full, shake it up and go.

    total: around 830 calories, 65% of your daily fiber requirements, 50g of protein (which is 100% of your daily requirement if you're not a pro athlete) from 2 sources (cows and hemp plants), 50% of all vitamins and minerals. Basically equivalent to 2 Soylent meals (each soylent meal is only 25% of daily requirements). For the extra calories, it isn't hard - eat junk food or whatever the hell you like.

    The nutrition powder i use is based on soy, so technically i'm getting nutrients from 3 sources (soy, cows, hemp) but if you can't take soy, there's still options.

    In the end it's basically just looking at the nutrition label, and adding the numbers together. That's all Soylent really is, too. Just in a more convenient package.

This is the other way. This plays tapes and transmits the audio over Bluetooth. What you need is one of these. I used to have a pair that I would swap out when the battery got low. The sound quality is great and it turns on when the tape head touches it so it doesn’t have to be turned on and off.

What I am always curious about is the performance of these extremely expensive systems in comparison to what one or two cheap tomato-flashed, dual band routers would perform in a client/bridge mode.


The chips in these ubi devices are so cheap, most of the cost is convenience. Just like the author said, more what you'd give your parents.
