Byakuren: Yup...and at least here in the States, they have baking soda labelled as both a food and a drug for that reason (you can use it as an antacid, though it's high in sodium and tastes awful).
when i was an undergrad i'd eat entire, like 12-to-16-inch pizzas. just order them off the fucking internet and eat them, like a slob
I don't think of myself as a slob, and I do eat entire medium and large pizzas myself...though not in a short sitting, of course.
Usually, it acts as a combined meal and snack -- meal when I'm hungry at first, then snack as I'm working and want something to much on, immediately after the meal, for the next several hours. Provided I don't fall asleep in the meantime of course.
being a computer scientist is like being a glorified electrician, in the same way that being an economist is like being a high-level psychologist or being a biologist is like being a very advanced physicist

God damn, Space Jam is a clusterfuck of a movie. I liked it as a kid too, before I really learned the difference between good and bad. The Looney Tunes not being funny! Token female bunny with no personality! Michael Jordan trying to act! Bill Murray clearly not giving a shit! Wayne Knight there for some reason! A magic basketball that steals NBA stars' talent sure why not! An Epic Movie-esque Pulp Fiction reference for no Goddamn reason! "I Believe I Can Fly" came from THIS movie?! And why in God's name would the Looney Tunes need Michael Jordan anyway? And why are all the Looney Tunes, including the villainous ones, on the same team? Wouldn't, say, Yosemite Sam want to work WITH the aliens to finally take care of that razzin' frazzin' long-eared galoot? And WHY IS LOONEY TUNES LAND UNDERGROUND?! Perhaps most egregiously, does anyone remember the Siskel & Ebert review? They LOVED it. They were both momentarily too blinded by their Chicago Michael Jordan worship to recognize a turd as a turd. Will fellow Chicagoan Nathan Rabin fare better?
what is the address of your mcdonald's in which table are you sitting what have you ordered? how much did you spend? what payment method did you use? if it was a credit card, what is its number?
Well of course Japan is filled with jerks. It has coastlines. Oceans have a jerkifying effect on people.
This is why Botswana is the best nation. Botswana Botswana Botswaaaaaaana. And transnithia. Boleeeevia. You must Boleevia. Zimbabababababway Botswaaaaaaaaaana!
Silly mode: OFF.
I know too little of Japan to comment, but I doubt Crichton's xenophobia was ever good in any way. Yeah, that's a deal breaker. Shame, because when Chrichton isn't being awful and almony, he can be very good as an author. Still, there are authors that are consistently good. Also, there ate authors who don't write xenophobic stuff-that-is-no-good-and-which-is-in-fact-harmfu l.

You're thinking of software engineers. Computer scientists are glorified combinatorialists.
Electricians are much cooler!

IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO PHYSICS

FIRST PRINCIPLES, BABY~
there was a time when people thought Space Jam wasn't garbage?
i mean it entertained me as a kid and the premise is amusingly absurd, but it was always cheesy and flimsy and nonsensical
I'm at McDonald's, AMA
in which table are you sitting

How do you type with boxing gloves on?

We've got an escaped question mark!
RED QUESTION MARK IS IN THE BASE
He's best known for being the guy who wrote Jurassic Park, though.
I guess it was pretty good as "dinosaurs run amok" stories go
Oh. It appears we are too late.
