rivengodwind Hm, as long as they are properly labeled and are not passed off as the 'usual' meat, I'm okay with that. As you've pointed out, it's fairly common for other folks so I guess having a little delicacy every now and then would be okay.

Do you guys think that you drink too much Coca-cola or any other soft drinks during the day? Personally, I believe I do. On average, I drink about 3 cans of coke a day.. Which equals just over a Liter/34 ounces. I guess that it...

rivengodwind Ah, gone were the days when I could chug a 1.5 liter Coke in a single meal (for breakfast, that is), and a can of Coke was just an arm's reach away. The fact is, I developed a intolerance for caffeine, and I'm still unsure of what caused it. Yes, I can't drink...

I have this drunk and unemployed neighbor who still lives with his brother's house even if he's almost 40. He's single and he's rude that every time he's sitting in front of their house drinking alcohol and I happen to pass, he...

rivengodwind Well, I've always believed that we should give other people their chances to shine, so to speak. Even though he may be arrogant now, there is still that chance that this could turn his life (and his maturity) around. Of course, it could definitely go the other...

I tend to be an emotional eater. I suddenly think of a kind of food and next thing I know I'm craving for it. Like when I'm sad, I usually crave for something sweet like cake or ice cream. Or sometimes I just crave for a burger...

rivengodwind Instant ramen makes up most of my cravings. And by instant ramen, and if you're from the Philippines, you'd probably be familiar with the 'Lucky Me' brand. Spicy beef flavor, cracked with an egg always lifts me up from the doldrums. *yum*

rivengodwind There have been some manufacturers before who have tried selling touch screen laptops, but these weren't exactly market successes. One of the reasons is that they have problems with their usability -- or, how easy a person could do something with it. Since the...

rivengodwind May I just ask the reason for your decision? As someone already stated above, there are pros and cons to veering away from the employed path, and this actually takes a lot of self-reflection. For example, you won't be working for anyone anymore, that's a good...

I've read that simulated sunlight is often used as therapy to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). But the computer is much more fun! Doesn't the computer simulate enough sunlight to take care of that?

rivengodwind Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a subtype of major depressive disorder, is symptomatic depending on the number of daylight hours in a day. This means that the lower number of daylight hours in a day, the more prevalent the symptoms. Although light...

rivengodwind I don't know how it is in your country, but here in the Philippines we usually deep fry leftover chicken skin for appetizers. Just put salt and pepper (to taste) and a little bit of vinegar on the lot and then deep fry it. Voila, crispy chicken skin! (Now this...

I've heard that taurine has a bad effect. It can relieved body stress but it can damage our nerves system. In my country, i still find many energizing products that still using taurine, and i don't wanna consume it to prevent...

rivengodwind The reason why taurine is being added into energy drinks is because adding an appropriate amount with caffeine actually makes one more alert than just drinking the same dose of caffeine alone. It's in mixed in in very small amounts though, so one energy drink...

rivengodwind LOL, I could never have done that in my previous corporate work. The bosses are already stingy and conservative and doing this sort of thing could really get you fired. I did, however, log on to Facebook while working (it's for research) but I still got into...

I am saving money to buy a laptop next Christmas. Do you think assembled laptops are good or should I go for branded laptop. Which laptop you are currently having?

rivengodwind Honestly I've never heard of an assembled laptop because these are almost always made by big companies (note: they are always branded.) Desktops PCs, can be assembled however, and there are lots of how to's on the Internet that tells you how to do so. These...

rivengodwind Hm, well it's hard to prove until we've concrete data. For example, what population thus this seem to be true, e.g. American, Asian, etc., and is rain (or, cold weather for that matter) the only biggest contributor to why people cheat given those conditions? A...

rivengodwind A lot of people have already pointed out that it depends on your planned usage and I agree. Netbooks (notebook computers with 10.1" and below screens), which are cheaper than full-fledged laptops, are enough for web surfing, blogging, a bit of video. If you're...
