"There's a company in California that creates meat (proper texture and all) out of plant proteins. I forget the company's name but I remember reading about it recently. It's not actually vat-grown (it's extruded) but it's a start." - Chris Charabaruk
coldacid on Moved to Madrid two months ago, was excited when I saw "Poutine" on the menu, until....... - http://www.reddit.com/r...

coldacid on Worn out side pad on Band - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Fortunately I'm not getting the irritation that I've normally gotten from metal objects on my wrists, so it seems they're right about the metal being safe. As for electrocution, the design of the pads suggest that anyway, being a part that is held in place by externally accessible screws; my thought is their entire purpose is support of the wristband or holding its shape. It does feel like a defect of the material for coating the pads, but without the skin irritation, I think I can live with it for now." - Chris Charabaruk

coldacid on When do you think the SJW trend will die? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Right-wing, anti-EU party: UK Independence Party. Pretty much Britain's own Tea Party. On the other hand, all the other parties in the UK right now are worse. Sucks to be a Brit right now if you care about politics." - Chris Charabaruk
coldacid on #GDCPress didn't work. Go back posting facts to #GDC, #GDC15 and #GDC2015 which currently have barely any #GamerGate content - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"GDC is owned and run from the same bright bulbs who give us Gamasutra, but has even more reach, being *the* event for game developers to congregate. If we want to make more devs informed about how the SJW press is out to fuck them, this is the time and event for it." - Chris Charabaruk
coldacid on Worn out side pad on Band - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"That might not actually have anything to do with your climate or anything. The manual actually even says to wipe the contacts area with a dry cloth every time after charging, before putting the Band back on." - Chris Charabaruk
coldacid on [drama] Police have never provided security at big cons before Gamergate. Source: everyone - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Well, sounds like we probably didn't have any problems with the law, then. As far as I can remember we've had uniforms every year since we started using the TCC as a venue, at least during the dances (but now all day). And honestly, having worked the dances before working the Sheraton, it's a damn good thing we have the cops. (The tales I could tell... But won't.)" - Chris Charabaruk

"How long has the 1000 people thing been the law? Because as long as I've been at AN, our attendance alone has always been over one thousand, but we never had cops until after the Regal Constellation closed down. Speaking of which, it's been twelve years now, I still miss that hotel. Sure it was falling apart around us, but it was still such an awesome venue space..." - Chris Charabaruk

"The problem with your slide is you're packing far too much into it, and there's nothing to really break up the wall-of-text effect. You don't have to go spastic-marketing-dept.-monkey with clipart or such, but better would be to use logos and short snippets in big, sans-serif letters with each. Possibly multiple slides of such. (Sorry, that's the Toastmaster in me.)" - Chris Charabaruk

coldacid on [Manga Spoilers] Which event started the "Attack on Titan" calendar? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Pedantry incoming: The Jesus birthday assumption is invalid and has known to be so for a long time. Based on when Herod lived and died, Jesus would have been born probably no later than 4 BC, especially considering the tale of the Massacre of the Innocents predates that of the gospel books. Also, AD is the calendar *era*, and while the standard one for the west, is only one of many competing eras. Our calendar is the Gregorian calendar, and again there are multiple competing calendars (which is why Ramadan, for example, keeps shifting through the year)." - Chris Charabaruk
