Sundae posted:On a happier note... That meeting looks important, it obviously needs an IT presence to help ensure customer efficiency and a safeguard against liquid spills. You have my email address, I have HPSM access to create Service Request tickets... If HR isn't already howling for blood over this, escalate to someone working in B31 and also Legal. I want scalps to be taken over this.

Sundae posted:My manager finally contacted me back the day after the rear end in a top hat left saying "what the gently caress is wrong with you, OF COURSE YOU COULD'VE WALKED HIM OUT." He was rightfully ticked off at me and my co-engineer for not calling security on him the moment we found out. You are right in apologizing, glad to hear you own up. However, your boss should also wonder what he could have done differently to ensure you knew you had the mandate. It is very easy to lay blame on someone for not walking him out, but if you did do that and there would be millions in damage it would be your fault as well. Finally, hindsight is easy. You had a doubt and your bosses could not be reached for advice in a situation nobody anticipated. If training is needed, it is for your bosses to learn how to ensure everyone is empowered . because appears you did not feel empowered enough.

I mean if you were in the clink for 14 years that's not something you'll ever be able to hide from a prospective employer. In fact at least in the US, unfair as it may be, you're pretty near hopeless to ever get meaningfully employed again unless you're spectacularly charismatic and stick to smaller companies. HR departments are far too risk averse to consider hiring a felon, and even if that weren't true you'd still be far behind in experience.

Upstairs office neighbors had a Halloween rager all afternoon, meanwhile I'm down here and have been tasked with writing an SOP for how we create and store documents in my department's file server  Same boss insists that my department also sets up an online spreadsheet for tracking document requests in the interest of keeping track of things more easily, when I get maybe one such request a day and can usually finish it in under 30 minutes.I'm scared that putting both of those in place is going to finally reveal how little work I actually do while I'm here.

Pro: The cafeteria staff just stocked our department fridge with lots of different milk, creamer flavors, etc etc. Con: To make room for them, they removed about 30 cans of soda and sparkling flavored water, plus a few beers, that we stashed in there after yesterday's party. Our collective department doesn't know whether to be happy or wallow in despair. I don't drink coffee, but since they left my box of wine (yes, shut up) alone, I'm indifferent.

After the saga of a renovation that took over twice as long as anyone thought. I was asked to do a lot of things, that quite frankly were so far out of my job description as to be comical. I was too afraid to draw a line in the sand because I think I would have been told to deal with it. Now we're dealing with the fallout of my normal duties having fallen behind.

Someone I know gave me a supply so I tried it for a while. It DOES have a flavor (dilute, wet oatmeal), and it never gave me the shits.

Short version is soylent was developed by some especially disturbed STEM SV people without knowledge of nutrition or safe food manufacturing regs, as a plan to "disrupt" food. Mind you, meal replacement drinks, shakes, etc is an entire preexisting industry that these folks seemed completely ignorant of. It got a bunch of VC, got dinged by the FDA. I think it now has some semi-competent FDA compliance and nutrition people onboard, but there's absolutely no reason to use it over a dozen equivalent, cheaper, safer products that don't overpromise. There are some great posts out there from the founder about "hacking" his digestive tract- not sure which subforum or thread, though.

It's probably on his blog (via Wayback Machine), which is like a one-stop shop for insights into the psyche of a disruptor. A Life Without Water posted:Feces are almost entirely deceased gut bacteria and water. I massacred my gut bacteria the day before by consuming a DIY Soylent version with no fiber and taking 500mg of Rifaximin, an antibiotic with poor bioavailability, meaning it stays in your gut and kills bacteria. Soylent’s microbiome consultant advised that this is a terrible idea so I do not recommend it. However, it worked. Throughout the challenge I did not defecate.

Two things I have often wondered about pooping: Would it be possible to achieve a perfectly efficient diet that led to zero defecation? Conversely: Would it be possible to consume food in a small and constant flow until the poop also came out in a constant flow like an infinite thread of brown spaghetti?

I have been meaning to create a disruptive start up in the metabolic space. Like the white goo in ds9, but instead it will be your total coloric intake, complete with drm, auto prepay, and insurgent microbes to punish you for violating the eula and eating regular food.

Ashcans posted:That would be true if it was a just a regular diet supplement company rebranding, but it was developed by a guy who didn't realize those things existed and just tried to come up with it himself so that he could avoid the irritation of eating. Which led to pretty hilarious stuff like him forgetting to put things like iron into the initial formulation. That's my favorite part about what led Rob Rhinehart to create Soylent. The tech startup that he was running was going down in flames and they spent the last of their cash on developing Soylent because he thought that one of the reasons that the business was failing was because he was spending too much time acquiring, preparing, and eating food. Or so he claims.

One time I had Mexican for diner, and I shat so hard it disables the septic system and our workplace was offline for like twelve hours. I was told this was a big deal because it "left a gap in our national security apparatus". Was a good burrito though.

He'd probably be down with forcing employees to eat a Soylent regimen if it kept them from making GBS threads, because that's also a massive distraction, and locking the washrooms just gets messy.
