I think one of the most distasteful things I heard was their regards for people getting married at their hop farm in Independence, OR. I heard, on conference calls and in e-mails, Jack be extraordinarily dismissive of people having weddings there. He regarded them as fools, saying something along the lines of "What kind of loving idiot wants to get married on a hop farm?" and then would laugh about taking their money. These were people who were excited about his brand and he was mocking them and their choice for a wedding venue.

i'm with Jack on this one

If you drink Gatorade all the time they're not bad idea.

i feel like the gatorade one is for those sports moms who have to provide drinks for the entire team of kids every week or month or whatever

of course they should still be buying that poo poo in bulk at costco or something but given the terrible culture we live in, i could definitely see the point of that

and i still think some of them could be moderately useful for the scatter brained. i often forget i'm out of something between noticing it and deciding to get on the computer. being able to hit a button in my bathroom and reorder TP when I'm low would be moderately convenient. wouldn't pay for it but if they gave it to me i'd give it a shot

my understanding is that something like gatorade is only necessary if you already have really low body fat and if you're exercising for over 60 minutes

I have a nasty fizzy water habit, maybe I should get a sodastream now that their factory isn't located on literal occupied land any more

more like 120 minutes really. the only good thing about gatorade is that you can drink your calories instead of eating them in the form of fruit or those godawful energy gels which give some people the shits. but there's not much money to be made there so marketing has made people think they need it if they had a particularly strenuous walk to the front door.

as for your fizzy water addiction if you don't mind the up front cost you should pick up a homebrewing kegging system. maybe off craigslist or something. sodastream charges ~$20 per pound for CO2 but you can get a 20lb cylinder filled for $25.

yes, you set it up and then associate it with the product

some people have found that if you go through setup but stop before assigning a product then you can repurpose them as wifi event logs with some scripting

press the button, the unit powers up and transmits the mac address out to the router, intercept the signal and then classify according to mac. basically a wireless counter

people have also figured out how to push code to the fucker, but nothing useful has been done yet

actually haven't gotten one in years, but back in 08/09 there was some study that basically say "wow, the frogs in the Chesapeake are hosed up and the water company sent out pamphlets saying "we did our own studies and the frogs are marginally less hosed up than people say".

They paid me $16.00/hr at a training rate, so it wasn't bad, but there weren't any real benefits to speak of and I was expected to be a company ambassador at weekend events without the expectation of compensation - as someone put it, "it's just part of the dues you pay to work here."

srsly

even fish industry groups are like "fish is a once-in-a-while treat" because of all the mercury and other heavy metals they end up concentrating

meanwhile soylent is supposed to be your 21 times a week complete meal substitute

and again, i wonder what the big attraction of soylent is (apart from its name and "disruptive" nerd-flattering backstory) compared to something like ensure
