- 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.

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.

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)

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 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 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.

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.

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 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. :D
