Correct. She beat Carano and eventually the league (Strikeforce) went out of business and got bought by the UFC. The UFC absorbed all fighter contracts. There is no 145 womens division so she had to cut to 135 or leave. She decided to leave. Now she is the 145 champion of Invicta (an all womens league) that is basically owned by the UFC now as well.
If shes smart and wants a massive payday she will cut to 135 for the Rousey fight.
Its probably not a good practice but I assume every tech-minded 20-something male is a libertarian until told otherwise. Especially if they are working in SV.
It really shows the naivety of some of these marketplace users. This is how the "real" drug game works with people getting scammed and robbed everyday. Its not somehow different because its online.
Soylent reduces the consumption of food to a task to complete instead of an experience. The tagline on their homepage even reads "what if you never had to worry about food again?". Soylent is a solution for the type of person that doesnt value the ritual of food prep and consumption and Id be willing to bet that demographic is the young, tech-savy male. Women are much more likely to bond over food experience with friends and loved ones (ie. brunch) at any age.
Soylent is a tech product with standard early adopters of tech guys.

That's true, but not necessarily so. I value the ritual of going to the comic book store and browsing. But I don't value comics so much that I want to bag and collect them obsessively for hours on end. Likewise, I do value the ritual of food/coffee prep. But I don't want it to consume more than 15% of my daily allotment of time and energy. My priorities just aren't set up like that.
So you can also think of Soylent as a way to control that daily allotment.
I lived with a guy from France a few years ago and he absolutely hated peanut butter and couldnt figure out why we all ate it so much. Had no problem adjusting to pepperoni cheese steaks though!
