perfect ramen

- use very little water; soup should not be brothy by any
means
- cook just long enough so that noodles are not completely
stiff; avoid sogginess like the plague!
- adding black pepper is always tasty
- add the flavor packet early so that the noodles can absorb
the exquisite taste.

The thing is that i dont eat it soup style. I drain like 95%
of the water.

Garlic salt + Onion Powder + Flavor packet

I would also like to point out that, as an implicit given,
ramen must be eaten with chop sticks.

I have washable chop sticks and i usually really like to add
chicken (pre grilled).

Bacon is an easy addition if you crumble it in there.
Adding Eggs at the end gives interesting results.

Also.... onions. I am addicted to onions with my cooking
skills.

Oriental ramen + Grilled/Fried chicken is a winning combo

bacon? I probably won't try it for a while since I'm trying
to cut down on fat. I am very thin but in general my eating
is unhealthy and I'd like to avoid dying before the age of
30.

Wise words. I've probably gained unhealthy weight. I was too
skinny so i drank alot and basicly ate a bunch of unhealthy
food to gain proper weight.

Overall i am unsure about my decision. For a while i cut
pork out all together. I dont know where i failed. I should
go back to that. One thing at a time i suppose.

I go on walks every day to try not to be too sickly. I'm
going to get a bike for this semester. I eat lots of
cheeses, which is not so good. but vegetables really suck
when prepared crappily, and I am too lazy to prepare things.
I've started popping lots of flinstones vitamins; that's
pretty excellent.

It's very important to not eat ramen to frequently because
it will taste so shitty that you avoid it for years (true
story, three times I quit it for 2 years)

Pretty essential with any ramen preparation.

I used to get it wrong because many many years ago I let one
sit too long and it absorbed all the broth, and I thought it
was tasty somehow. So I made it that way a few times and as
a result hated ramen for years, poo.

For a while I would pay extra and get spicy korean ramens
but now I'm back to getting standard cheap stuff and like it
more, methinks. can't beat the price.

don't eat too soon before sleeping! stomach won't smile at
you.

I haven't had it for a while. I prefer the cup-noodles,
filled from kettle. Still pretty cheap.

1 - B complex 100
1- Men's One a Day
1- Vitamin C pill thing

Pomegrante juice
Orange juice + Cherry Consentrate mixed

walks + free weights

I used to do mad crunches..... yeah... i failed that
somewhere along the lines. I really need to get back at my
routine. I am gettin a little gut here. No good.

Also i started smoking for a minute which must promptly be
halted.

I was having cup of noodles for a while too, but they are
more expensive and the quantity is, of course, shit.

There was another ramen arrangement involving soy sauce that
my roommate did that was pretty good.

I think pomegranate juice is a gimmick.

I can never keep up exercize for it's own sake. Going to
the gym, running, doing morning push-ups; I've barely ever
past a consecutive month of it.

I want to get a bike since it'll get me to school fast AND
qualify as exercize.

about smoking.. that sucks. I am lucky because my
girlfriend dislikes it. She is sweet so she'd tolerate it
if I did it, and I picked it up twice while we dated (and
stopped midway through the pack), but as a will power test
for myself and a respect thing for her I don't.

does your group of friends smoke? being around smokers makes
it miserable.

at that point I'd rather get real noodles and throw some
veggies in there. and some sugar, which surprisingly is in
basically every korean dish in huge quantities.

by real noodles I mean, as opposed to cheapie ramen. good
ramen is another story.

They are pretty much heavy alcoholics. Which makes me one my
association. When we are together it is like 1-2 packs of
cigs. The drinking is a joke because its so overboard. I am
trying not to go out with them as much because its going to
be my downfall.

that's pretty miserable. do you guys usually just chill, or
is there lots of debauchery/chicks/hooliganism involved?

I haven't drank in a long time, and my weekends/nights are
pretty mellow besides.

I like reading books and going for walks.

The kind that comes in styrofoam cups is the lazy way to
eat/ no dishes to wash. Plus you can just use a plastic fork
and throw it away- not recycling which is healthier in the
long run because delaying the inevitable causes more pain.

Have you ever tried ramen without the magical flavour
packet? You'll figure out that, at the plant, the put the
styrofoam into a single machine with 2 outputs: the cups and
the ramen that goes in the cups. The packet is probably just
powdered dogs anyway.

Kurzweil wrote a book about how he was able to cure his
diabeties by eating only 10% fat or something, which he
figured out by studying heart attack frequency in asia vs
america or something (I'm reading this snazzle
now.

normal pasta > ramen

This is what I've been eating lately. I was hoping
to shit out a 33 foot tape worm but I only created something
that looked like some sort of putrid decomposing fungus that
made me laugh hard for about 4 minutes. I thought about
uploading a picture of it here, but only went as far as
taking the picture then erasing it.

They always call me like 3 hours before shining it, giving
me time to brush my teeth and put on my uniform and stuff.
It's just for effect.

hahahaha that picture sounds xltllent. I need to get some of
that stuff, though it'll probably dislodge a fungus blob
which is keeping my duodenum together and I'll shit out my
whole body.

and yeah I read about the technology singularity a while
back.. we're not quite fucked yet but definitely by the time
30-40 years roll around.

thanks for brushing your teeth! I want your entire digestive
tract clean, not just the lower parts!

man, let me tell you though, AI is in a really sorry state
right now.

'machine learning' is sucking up all the funding right now,
and it's just a stopgap way to point lots of computational
resources at the tasks of making a machine improve it's
performance in some domain with repeated efforts. There's no
sentience involved, it's mostly just.. brute force, with a
twist

I don't think I've ever had a dish that has been clean after
the initial time I made it dirty so I can't really. I'd
rather buy new dishes than clean them, but that's effort
too.

it's all about cleaning it right after you use it. I never
do that of course. I'm so fucking lazy, there's trash all
over my bedroom.

I don't know if you care but after bashing c++ for years I'm
back to using it again. long story blah blah. I only just
started today.

I don't really know much about it, but supposedly our
current 1000 dollar pcs are only a little higher than an
insect brain, so I guess we simply can't have powerful ai
yet. If you think about the ai in videogames that
controlles, say, cars around tracks.. it is sort of
navigating as simply as some insects, even though its
environment is simplified and artificial.

When ai comes 'alive', it will need a body, because it will
think of something it wants done but it won't be able to
control anything physical without a body. So the first AI
will probably read wikipedia about hypnotizing humans and
hypnotize its first creator into yao ag heh hea hf a. Humans
will be pests to them. Actually, you know how we have
conversations? Theirs will be on a much higher bandwidth, so
they will instantly communicate something the size of the
entire history of xltronic in a fraction of a second, only
taking time to compute replies that require more deep
thought.
Anyway, they'll know we're reproducing and generally getting
in the way. They won't want lesser life forms around with
the potential to use nuclear weapons. The first ai's will
probably go steal all the nuclear weapons. Maybe they'll put
a big wall down the center of each continent and force all
males and females on opposite sides so that we can live out
our redundant lives relatively painlessly but not be allowed
to breed anymore (maybe except for a select strain to
conduct tests on and stuff).

cuz it makes/compiles faster code? I bought and got that
laptop (a thinkpad t23... it had some good reviews but I
don't know much about laptop buying.) I want to put dsl or
cable on it, possibly wireless if that's not more
expensive.. and get an external mouse and or keyboard for it
instead of the one provided. It will be better when I have a
seperate computer to code on.

Ever since I was little I was thinking about AIs treating us
the way we treat dogs. Dogs have it pretty well! they piss,
fuck, eat, sleep, mostly how and when they want to. Of
course there's huge variability in dog owners. Unless we do
something stupid like try to nuke an emerging sentience I
don't think it'd be aggressive. waste of energy.

We have more computational power than insect brains already,
but hundreds of millions of years of evolution have really
honed the parameters on all the built in algorithms..

really though, if you take an insect, and taunt it in silly
ways, like cage it in or scare it, you can see it reacting
in a way totally reproducible in a program.

The only things we lack which insects have are motor
controls and sensory perception, which are pretty fucking
ridiculous. If the military could have a camera with the
control a fly has, holy shit, they'd be pumping each other's
cocks for months straight.

that's pretty sweet that you got a laptop! was it used? so
your financial situation is OK?

I was actually using straight C, so I had more speed than
C++, but C is too damned tedious, c++ at least gives you
some basic things you expect to have, well, since the end of
the 1970s.

I haven't used anything really slow like ruby in ages,
except for toys.

by the way, regarding something you said on here a while
back. I wasn't logged in but had a free minute and was
stalking. anyway, about people's music preferences, and how,
for instance with movies, if someone has some tastes
matching yours, you have some degree of belief in their
other picks, but not so with music.

My whole thesis regarding audio vs. other stimulation
(particularly anything involving the eyes) is that our ears
are quite underdeveloped and any input we take needs to be
rather structured.

for instance, they eyes can take in very random scenes and
enjoy finding patterns, seeing correlations, beauty, etc.,
but the ears can be very quickly and easily overwhelmed.
They're pretty dumb sensors.

anyway I've thought about it mostly from the standpoint of
generating audio and generating video, but it also relates
to how we perceive and what we like

etc. blah

The best way to make ramen is;
Cook with just enough water to cover noodles,
put chicken flavor in,
cook 3min,
put teriyaki sauce and honey mustard in.
