For Those Long Coding Sessions: The Food Patch

Posted by timothy on from the ask-your-doctor-if-it's-right-for-you dept.

rtphokie writes "The U.S. Army has created a Transdermal Nutrient Delivery System which works similarly to to nicotine or birth control patches but delivers vitamins and other micronutrients. It was developed to help "warfighters sustain their physical and mental performance" during high intensity conflict. Is this what ./'ers need during those long coding sessions."

    actually, the word you would be looking for would be "contradiction." good try though.

    an oxymoron is a single term, or an adjective-noun pairing, i.e. "thunderous silence," or "laborious idleness", not two statements.

    but your post does demonstrate the classic slashdot "you must be an asshole/baby killer/moron if you work in the government or military" attitude marviously. congrats on that.

    With all the fucking faggots in the armed forces, we can safely assume this method will be practiced frequently on the battlefield and in foxholes.

    These patches are nutritional in nature. Thou I'd rather have a high energy bar, it could be useful for firefighters or other extreme situations where you cant take a break.

    1/3rd of Americans are not on happy pills, and go pills are not crank. Real medical conditions need medication. Comparing a vile of crack to lithium is uneducated.
