  • That is what led me to about a year of Soylent and pho. I couldn’t be bothered to cook for myself often, I was single, had a long commute, worked near a pho restaurant. So I drank a Soylent for breakfast and lunch then had a large beef and brisket pho every day.





  • The Orange R by John Clagett written back in 1978 was describing this feedback loop in its story.

    In the story Nuclear radiation was poisoning the air and scrubbers all over the country were cleaning up the radiation but were using nuclear power to power them creating a huge feedback loop where more radiation was leaking and needing more scrubbers to clean it.

    I won’t give away what they thought about solar power, but it’s awfully close to the same messages that certain orange people say about wind and solar power to this day.

    ETA: it’s amazing that back in the '70s they thought our future would be nuclear pollution from power plants while they had polluting coal plants and now 50 plus years later we still have polluting coal plants.











  • I was a manager of a warehouse for years on night shift. I had no bosses except for one hour at the end of my shift.

    As long as we got our shit done I didn’t care what people did. They complained on days we weren’t doing stuff that would help their shift once we got our work done. The solution our shift came up with was making sure the guys timed their work to finish just before the end of the shift so they wouldn’t have any expectation to do day shift work.

    They did some sweeping to pretend they were helping days but no actual extra work.
