All: I realize that stories like this evoke a "wow you like beer and carbs too no way we should hang out" reaction, or equivalents, but please don't let that carry you into HN comments. Mechanical reactions lead to predictable and tedious threads. If you don't have anything substantive to say, not commenting is a fine choice.
"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."
