Meh. Same old same old.

[Frumple]

Maybe I should invent computer tech fuel... 

Take a caffeinated drink. Boil it. Steep caffeinated tea. Consume. LIVE.

Crash like fuck 8-10 hours later. Not entirely sure the concoction would pass FDA regulations. If it would, well. Boil it and steep more tea. Repeat until in contravention of law, or the brew becomes undrinkable. Or maybe solid, I guess. I wonder if you could repeated boil it until it (the sugar and syrup, anyway) crystalized or something... maybe add some honey? Mountain dew tea candies. Hrm...

Anyone with better knowledge of making hard candies able to chime in?

[RedWarrior0]

I watched season one of Legend of Korra. Tbh, I prefer the characters and setting of the original a little more.

And Frumple, you could just inject pure caffeine.

[Frumple]

But then you don't get the sugar! And whatever else is in it. It's not just about the caffeine, after all.

[Greiger]

Wouldn't it be hard to find pure caffine though?  At least in a form readily injected via syringe?  This plan of condensing all the caffeine sugar and misc sludge of 12 cans of Dr Pepper into the volume of a teacup sounds rather amusing (and maybe deadly) and can be done with household tools!

I think I'll file it away as one of those "Cool to try once I have health insurance" things.

[Descan]

Caffeine is this pure white powder. Dunno if you can inject it.

But you can buy the pure white stuff online.

Hey, I've seen a sixty year(ish) old grandma survive a cup of single-brew'd stuff -- that purple mountain dew from a while back and honey/lemon/ginseng green tea.

I haven't tried sequential boiling/steeping cycles, though. I... yeah, being honest, that's maybe dangerous, I'unno. Wouldn't mind consulting a doctor about it, if only to see the look of horror. Still, I can't imagine it'd be much worse than multi-brewed coffee, unless something in the soda turns toxic after being heated/cooled/heated multiple times. Once is safe, though, at least for occasional consumption.

I would also be interested in watching a doctor react to the question.

"So, if I drink all this hyper-energy tea, then I take the dregs and make even MORE CONCENTRATED HEART ATTACK, then drink that, then condense it yet again, how long will it take until my heart collapses upon itself and causes a micro-sigularity?"

"If you survived the second cup you'd already be well within the bounds of unique."

"I drank four yesterday."

"When should I start the cult?"

[Araph]

I just saw the literal trailer for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood again. Still as hilariously random as I remembered.

[Reudh]

Aye, Gatorade and other electrolyte drinks are foul if you don't need them, but when you're tired/dehydrated/exerted they're like Ambrosia.

The whole 'electrolyte' thing is good.

Rather than buy all-too-expensive sports drinks, especially if i'm on a long hike on a hot day (I've hiked in temperatures of 42 C or well over 100 F, cbf converting), I make my own mix out of lemon juice, or lemonade + mint + salt + ice + ginger.

Damn it's refreshing.

[userpay]

Heheh... Quite the interesting halfling thief I've rolled for the AD&D game I'm joining. A wastrel yet greedy, maniacal yet morose, deceitful yet pious (ie there's apparently a 35% chance that if I wish/bless/damn something it'll happen), and extroverted, blustery, fool hearty, and soft hearted to boot. Not only that but I managed to roll a Sun Blade and the group just so happens to be clearing a mansion of undead. Still need to figure something out that sets me off into a rage 88% of the time though...

[Heron TSG]

Aye, Gatorade is there solely to aid you when you feel like you've been mauled by a gator. Or in my case, like I've been chasing one for 5 miles._{PUN DENSITY APPROACHING CRITICAL!}

[Bauglir]

I'd be curious to look at the ingredients in gatorade after a course of organic chemistry/biology. >_>

... Goddamn shopping for food is gonna be WEIRD in a few years. @_@

It's water, sugar (or high fructose corn syrup, depending on brand), and sodium chloride. Powerade has potassium chloride, and... magnesium sulfate? Maybe? I dunno, it's been a while since i last had access to a bottle, but the most complicated molecule in there is the sugar, regardless of brand. Well, there's also your standard flavorings and dyes but those're hardly special.

[Putnam]

Or, in other words: kool-aid with salt.

[Pnx]

Don't Russian inmates use ridiculously strong tea as a way of treating withdrawal from meth and such?
