Former Microsoft CTO Builds Kitchen Laboratory
circletimessquare writes "Nathan Myhrvold, former CTO of Microsoft, is self-publishing a cook book with scientific underpinnings. The man who presided over the original iterations of Windows has built a laboratory kitchen, hired 5 chefs, and plays with misplaced lab equipment: using an autoclave as a pressure cooker, using a 100-ton hydraulic press to make beef jerky, and using an ultrasonic welder for... he's not sure yet. The article includes a video on how to cryosear and cryorender duck. 'It's basically like a software project,' Dr. Myhrvold said. 'It's very much like a review we would do at Microsoft.' Is it possible to BSoD food?"
Thou shalt not brute-force cooking.
REAL chefs will have no interest in your stupid book.
Seven puppies were harmed during the making of this post.
This guy is treating food like he treats money -- something to play with instead of use for the benefit of Man.
Dr. Myrrvold - doing weird shit to poultry. That's worthy of thousands of minutes of REAL human life. To read something that one person thought was special, even though it's stupid and completely inapplicable to our living condition.
To the douche who made this is a headline: "Hello world, look at me! I am capable of using above-average vocabulary and grammatical syntax, by some genetic gift or process that I will never be aware of!"
Dude (dudette) -> circletimessquare, or whatever your real name is.
Does anyone REALLY give a shit?
I mean, really.
You need to stop projecting your insecurities onto us, and instead, realize that you're a worthy human being . Yes, even without trying to seem clever, distinct, and included to like-minded people.
Instead, why not spend your time at a bar and try to impregnate the hottest woman (or man) you see? Spread your genes along with beauty, and improve the human condition. If you're too fearful to do so, then realize that your perceptions are an illusion, and even the stupid jock fucks realized this a decade+ before I mentioned it here.
You are not alone. Be yourself. We are like you, and love you as you are.
As long as you let Dr. Myhvold do whatever the fuck he does to his ducks in private. What he does behind closed doors is his business, even if some large PR firm or corporation wants to promote something to sell.
(I hate geek culture. Fuck you all, in a sincere and appreciative way. You are not empowered by your intellect. Accept that and play the game, and know that the stupid fuck jock will win sometimes.)
