Said screw it and installed Arch Linux on my laptop. It is quite amazing.
Now if only I could get beautiful.init(awful.util.getdir("config") .. "/themes/default/theme.lua") to stop throwing syntax errors when changing theme path in awesome.

If nobody dedicates their life to trying to reach for immortality, how will we ever get there?

It seems dmitry itskov is already doing that. And backing it up with serious money. Very nice guy by the way Really hope he succeeds Would stop world hunger on top of being immortal.

Worst case is that Descan never reaches this goal within his lifespan, but his research goes on to aid others, a worthwhile legacy in my opinion.

Yeah, I kinda missed the agressive-dismissive subtext of what I wrote. I actually wanted to know if he seriously meant what he was saying. I'm actually on friendly terms with transhumanism in general. Although I have my disagreements with specific proposals. Like a certain Mr. Kurzweil who has some unresolved issues with being an individual.

I did like 5 rosalind problems today!

I'm all for Descan figuring out this immortality thing. Hey Descan, I'm available as a test subject if you get any promising leads!

Anyway, three things make me happy so far today. One is the rather impressive thunderstorm that's going on right now. The second is that there's a fairly good chance that I will have the day off; no loads have been assigned and I only have two hours available to work today. And finally, I made nearly $600 this week.

I actually had meat to eat for a change... I have been living off a vegetarian diet for a while now but thought I might enjoy some flesh tonight. My fucking god was it always this sweet? It felt like I was having desert. Anyway apparently the salt and iron and protein was just what I needed to put myself in a totally irrationally good mood... That is the great thing about emotional mood swings, sometimes they go in your favor.

Basically it is good for your health, assuming you can manage a balanced diet. So you know, eat lots of soy beans and take zinc supplements. My skin has certainly been looking nicer these past few months...

I meant vegans for life. I understand plants-only diet some time, but not forever.
*shudders*

Eh, I can imagine it being fine. The only thing I would really miss is seafood and egg-based-products.

[Sirus]

I couldn't do veganism. I would miss cheese and other dairy products far too much.

[Max White]

Yea, you think that, until you realize that almond milk is delicious.

[Sirus]

I notice you failed to mention a delicious cheese substitute
But that's okay, because I have no intention of going vegan any time soon. Even vegetarianism would be difficult to accomplish.

I tried vegetarianism for two years. The pull of bacon is just too strong.

Oh, a truer sentence has never been spoken.

So I was a little bummed that my hands on session with GTAV was over so I jumped on to my PC to play some GTAIV. Being a good PC gamer, I couldn't start the game without looking for, and installing, mods before playing the game. Those glorious bastards actually did it.

I had a really nice dream about a beautiful lady last night~

I'm not going to say anything more on that particular subject.  However, I'm pretty sure today's going to be a good day.
