We’ve moved once again, this time to the Online Coffee Company at 1404 East Pine. The Internet connection is faster, the tables are bigger, but we’ve definitely taken a hit on coffee quality. Regardless, it’s HackNight, and we’re there to do things. This week we formulated our plan for putting up NodeTulane, cracked open an Arlan 630-900, and fought with fwcutter. We’ve entered the rainy season too, so if you don’t want to get soaked trying to figure out just where HackNight is, you should check the EventCalendar before you leave the house.
Dan Marsh made some loud claims that he can drink a gallon of 2% in an hour (the milk bet) back at the first mindcamp. I didn’t believe him then, and I don’t believe him now. We were told by mindcamp organizers that we couldn’t do it there, so the subject was dropped. Tonight we picked it back up. He is convinced that his gut hides a higher than average milk tolerance, whereas the rest of us are convinced it just holds hot air. Perhaps next week we’ll have a video entry, but I really think this is a case of all hat, no cattle.
I tried it once. I drank 1/2 gallon in 30 minutes and then puked.
I suppose that I was at a bit of a disadvantage, because I was drinking boxed, non-refrigerated, strawberry milk, which might have been slightly bad. I did convince 2 other people to try along with me, and they only made it to 1/2 gallon as well.
