What's that on the head frame? It looks like a hokey sci-fi panel.

Lol glad someone else had this thought. I get that people hate reddit here but this post is inane.

Yo I'm the person the one above was talking about! I was on a Soylent only* (I mean I had other food and snacks occasionally) for roughly 2 years. Lost 10 lbs (I barely had anything to lose to begin with) and stayed in excellent shape. I definitely enjoy food, but not as much as the other things I want to do (video games, movies, d&d, reading, hiking), and I'd rather down a quick shake than spend time preparing something.

BTW Soylent is very tongue-in-cheek in their branding, of course they intended to invoke Soylent Green. As with the stuff in the book, it's something that's nutritionally complete that you can subsist on for 100% of your diet.

I mean, it can be miserable after a while, and now they go with: Soylent shouldn't replace every meal, but it can replace any meal. And it's great! If I'm going for a run or have a busy morning, I can chug one and I'm all set. And unlike most protein bars, it's not loaded with sugar.

As far as the communal aspect, I was single at the time I was on that diet, but I spent most of my time hanging with my friends online (World of Warcraft and other online games). I definitely wasn't starved for socializing, and I look back at that time as a great period of my life.

There's actually a lot of work going into documenting and replacing lead service lines in the US. EPA required every state to make sure every waterworks submitted an inventory by last October, with grant money through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to pay for it.

Apply liberally. Bought a video game and expected a feature not common in the genre or the developer's history? Watched a movie but had no idea what the director's style is? Bought a smartphone and wanted features that brand has never had (or maybe the industry has moved away from)? Bought motion cameras but didn't realize you couldn't just watch the clips they record unless you buy their stupid cloud service...

That last one is me 😮‍💨

The new contract ensures "safety guardrails" around AI, which includes "consent and disclosure requirements for AI digital replica use and the ability for performers to suspend consent for the generation of new material during a strike".

Great to see. Now we'll see if this actually ends all of the voice actor strikes in the industry. I know there were a bunch that started due to this strike but actually hinge on the company's stance on allowing non-union members to remain non-union.
