Mirroring has you copying the other's actions, thus performing the same task. Doubling allows each to work on their own separate tasks, from what I've understood.
It's still a confusing choice of words. With my spouse I just call it like, "Could you be there for moral support while I rake the leaves / open bills / do whatever I don't wanna do"
Agreed that it's confusing, perhaps a better term may catch on?
Haha, I do the same. Joke I need a supervisor.

You can enjoy eating, meal preparation, and the like and _also_ recognize how very, very, very money, time, and resource consuming it all is. If you could replace a typical home-cooked meal which cost $3->5 in materials and at _least_ half an hour in personal labor with a pill that costs $0.03->0.05 and can be produced in the thousands per hour, that's a significant win. And if you can build those pills from the bypr…
The pitch was not that you could skip a meal when you were in a hurry, but skip all meals, every day, forever. Also cramming 2000 calories into four or five pill sized spaces is practically violating the laws of physics, is it not?

I'm aware, yes. That's what a nutritionally-complete pill would enable you to do.
I mentioned "home-cooked meal" for a few reasons.
1) Some people seriously underestimate the cost and labor that goes into small-scale commercial cooking. Such folks will _usually_ have a better understanding of the details of in-home cooking.
2) Some people have decided that all food that one gets at a restaurant is inherently unhealthy.
3) If you plan well (and/or have a large surplus of time and energy) you can totally set things up so that you can eat home-cooked meals every day. That's what leftovers are for.

I very much doubt it. I has been decades since I studied any physics, but I'd expect that there are many examples of substances that pack at least 2000kcal of energy in four or five pill-sized spaces. As mentioned elsewhere, it's a biology problem, not a physics problem.
