http://www.buzzfeed.com/williamalden/soylent-has-a-dream-to-be-the-red-bull-of-video-gaming#.udqmJ340z This would-be future food, Soylent, is a bland-tasting blend of carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and other nutrients that has been around for about two years now, gaining devotees among techies who don’t have the time or the desire to eat food. Big-name investors have put millions into the Los Angeles–based company. But Soylent, the brainchild of a 27-year-old software engineer named Rob Rhinehart, remains a little too weird even for many of the white-collar geeks it wants to reach. Now, the company is betting that major league video gaming, or e-sports — a global industry with a fast-growing and passionate fan base — will be its ticket to more widespread adoption.

lol In September, Soylent signed a sponsorship deal with the Electronic Sports League, which runs events including ESL One, the tournament being held this weekend in New York. The deal represents the biggest item in Soylent’s marketing budget this year, with the company paying between $100,000 and $300,000 — executives wouldn’t get more specific than that — to sponsor ESL One. Soylent will have its logo plastered over the event and the online broadcasts beaming the fantasy battle arena game Dota 2 to millions of fans. Soylent has also agreed to sponsor an upcoming pro season of the popular first-person shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Soylent was inspired by a recent visit to the Santa Monica campus of Red Bull, the energy drink maker whose original films and athlete sponsorships have made it synonymous with extreme sports. Soylent hopes to become a major patron of feats of computerized daring, and has considered sponsoring an e-sports team, executives told BuzzFeed News. Once it completes an office expansion, the executives said, Soylent wants to invite professional video gamers to train in a special gaming room, which, of course, will include plenty of free Soylent. In its own small, quirky way, this food-hacking startup with a name from science fiction wants to be the Red Bull of competitive video gaming. Rhinehart’s weird habits have made him into something of a nerd folk hero. He doesn’t do laundry, for example. Instead, he kills microbes in his clothing with a UV Sterilizer, a process he repeats a few times before donating the shirts and underwear and buying new ones. “If I was doing a full load of wash it would be more efficient, but since I have very little clothing and would only be washing a few pieces at a time it actually is more energy and water efficient to have new ones manufactured,” he told BuzzFeed News in an email. He also has a pet pig. And, of course, Rhinehart is into video games. Soylent employees regularly blow off steam by playing games like Counter-Strike in the office gaming room. Rhinehart used to play StarCraft and dabbles in League of Legends. About a month ago, he took a nasty spill while riding a hoverboard around the office — the two-wheeled kind, favored by Wiz Khalifa — and broke his ankle. “I botched the dismount,” he said. With a medical boot on his foot, he posted up for a while in a hammock in the office, near an oversize bottle of Soylent 2.0. “I like the fact that in e-sports,” Rhinehart said, “no one gets hurt.” While professional video gamers follow training regimens and watch what they eat, casual fans tend not to care as much about food. Still, Soylent is appealing to gamers’ minds over their stomachs. “You wouldn’t treat your laptop — like, you wouldn’t leave a slice of pizza on it. And you wouldn’t treat your body in the same way,” Miles said. Soylent, he said, “definitely will power you a lot more efficiently than eating half a Little Caesars Hot-N-Ready pizza before you go play.”

These weren't mere ha-ha toot kinds of emissions; this was hair-raising. It was room-clearing, horse-killing, World War I mustard gas-type gas. I migrated from room to room in the house like I was giving up territory to the Kaiser, my face fixed in an expression of horror as green hell-fumes trailed behind me, peeling paint and wilting plants. My wife, bless her heart, said nothing. At some point, I made my way back to the computer and pulled up the e-mail correspondence between Soylent founder Rob Rhinehart and me.

It doesn't make sense to me that there are people who looked at the simple pleasure of enjoying food and thought, you know what would be cool is if eating food was no longer enjoyable, it needs to be more like putting gas in the car. Because eating is such a chore? Most of the fart apps I can at least understand the (often stupid) problem they're working on fixing. But Soylent baffles me that it's actually a real product that got funding and people are using.

http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2015/09/new_testing_shows_flint_water.html Lead leaches into 'very corrosive' Flint drinking water, researchers say FLINT, MI -- Flint drinking water is "very corrosive" and "causing lead contamination in homes," researchers from Virginia Tech University reported online Wednesday, Sept. 2. "On a scientific basis, Flint River water leaches more lead from plumbing than does Detroit water," the report concludes. "This is creating a public health threat in some Flint homes that have lead pipe or lead solder." The Virginia Tech report comes as students there, overseen by Professor Marc Edwards, are in the final days of testing water collected from 300 sample kits distributed to Flint residents. On Monday, Aug. 31, the researchers reported 42 percent of 120 initial samples from Flint had lead levels that were more than 5 parts per billion, "which suggests a serious lead-in-water problem, according to our experience and criteria."
