this is a great project! i'm working on a go rewrite right now (i wish the author had chosen a less broken language in the first place lol). question: how hard would it be to make this work for a nutrient suspension? i'm asking because i have switched to soylent (for obvious reasons that i will not belabor here) but am frustrated that i still have to remember to prepare and consume it at the correct interval. it would be truly liberating to simply insert a tube into my mouth that would dispense an appropriate amount of fuel into my system at the optimal moment - perhaps triggered by my blood glucose dropping below a particular threshold[1].

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but is this satire? I actually can't tell. Between go rewrite, criticizing the language choice, and wanting to just stick a tube in your mouth and be automatically fed soylent this almost seems generated by a markov chain. If sincere I apologize.

  I'm mostly impressed that this kind of Poe's Law material is the only comment on a 1400 day old account.

    Well, it's not my only comment, I think that older ones only show up to me though past a certain point and I haven't commented in a while. And surely I'm not too crazy to think he could be serious, I mean there's so much on here that talks about the same thing, maybe just not all together, and I hope I'm not the victim of some long running hyper-trendy startup joke.

      No, it's his only comment (his account's about two months older than you, funny that it happens to be that close).

      like striking pointed out, I was referring to the OP, not you. Your reaction was completely in-line with mine.

  Your comment made me laugh really loud in an office that is dead quiet right now. Just thought you should know.
