   I remember reading about a drug that removes the need for sleep in the first place a while back. Sure sleep would be nice once in a while, but the benefits are pretty obvious. Here's the wired article: http://www.wired.com/science/discover

   It's currently all javascript/jquery and PHP, though I'm moving the backend to Django. I'm also messing around with backbone.js, but haven't been able to push myself to make the switch yet.

   I feel slightly the same way, but after a few hours of searching for a new name with no luck, I always end up feeling better about swole.me :) I'm definitely open to suggestions, so PM me if you have them.

   Thanks! I'll poke around my barely existing backend to see what I can do.

   Thanks! It's a bit confusing, but there's a separate breakfast menu. If you click any of the presets, it changes all of the breakfast menu foods too which isn't quite obvious yet.

   I feel mostly the same way, and I've spent a lot of time looking for a new one so I'm open to suggestions. I managed to scoop up dietcal.com and mealgorithm.com, and though I'm really into mealgorithm it seems a bit too complicated.

   Thanks! I'd definitely like to at some point. What did you have in mind for the push notifications? "4pm. Eat some nuts!"?

   Hey everyone, I made this site. It's very much a work in progress, though if your diet already looks as much like the generated output as it does mine, it will be a great tool! (i.e. eat whatever I can find that barely needs cooking, swallo

   Maybe a requisite for researching and developing dangerous diseases should be that you make the vaccine immediately after (or before, if possible).

    Right, but if there is actually any selection for aging and death in organisms (maybe there is, I'm not sure), it's not useful anymore. There's a lot of evidence that there's no longer genetic selection acting on the human population, and i

    Is the "cowboy code" any less reliable than non cowboy code? I feel like the extra speed of writing in this case may be more valuable than using strict javascript.

    Can the microRNAs really enter into mammalian cells? I feel like there should be some mechanism for blocking outside RNAs from entering a cell. Unless there's no selection for a defense mechanism because it's not harmful? Someone fill me in

    This is only a somewhat relevant question, but for those that have experience, are meetings with angel investors more or less casual than VC meetings? Or does it vary too much from person to person to make a distinction?

    I posted it to /r/Fitness a while ago for some feedback, and their number one complaint was the food choices. I'll probably add a bunch more foods this weekend and repost it there. I haven't actually noticed it go down ever. Are you sure it

    It should be balanced as far as macronutrient ratios go (you can change the ratios in one of the dropdowns), but the proportions of macros you want may change based on your goals. The default 50/25/25 split should be good if you're trying t

    I found it a little high too, so I may switch the equation for another one but I'm not sure yet. I originally made the site specific to gaining weight for lifters (hence the name), and the high weight gain calorie values seem to make sense

    Haha yeah, you can customize the food options in the dropdown box. I'll try to add a bunch more foods sometime in the next few days. Why are you trying to eat 1200 calories a day if I may ask? It seems awfully low for anyone.

    I'm glad that you think it's useful! I'm going to try to rework the foods box in the next few days to have a bunch more foods. I thought I fixed the spillover, but hopefully changing the whole thing will take care of it.

    I feel like this might be a good time to plug my project: http://swole.me/ It's a diet generator I made over the past few weeks that promotes adhering to certain proportions of macronutrients. I'll probably make a full post about it when
