I do. I don't want to run after every woman I see.

No, it's not, it's very advanced high tech from the modern era.

Are you serious?

Color isn't a physical property, and only exists in the mind as a representation of the wavelengths of visible light. Therefore, the ball isn't blue at all, and it's more spherical than it is blue.

I would ask nothing, and tell them 'good for you'.

Thank goodness I don't have that problem.

Except that the universe isn't just made of things that are of everyday size. And then we remain in the dark about the workings of the universe. Great. Not unless they had an electro-mechanical computer the size of a whole room

Perhaps not equally visual, but still visual enough. There are plenty of straight women who like handsome, well built men. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying Here's a little joke link that shows what straight women like (just google images): https://www.google.nl/search?q=romance+novels&client=firefox-a&hs=tlH&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=Ljn1U4DgE8WuO_30gdAC&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=674

Is this really a serious question? The answer is simple, of course: Imagine two hot babes being busy together... need I say more? Damn, makes me wish I had a button I could press to become a woman myself. That way I'd be able to join! +1

I didn't say that vegetarians do it for that reason, I said vegans do it for that reason. Seeking to reduce the killing and suffering of animals by not using animal products (specifically not limited to food) is at the core of what being vegan is really about. One can certainly have additional reasons, but when the well being of the animals isn't one's concern, one isn't vegan, but a strict vegetarian. As for the rest of your post, I was only arguing against the OP's assertion that a vegan diet is healthy, while there is no one vegan diet. After all, a diet of french fries and potato chips is perfectly vegan. It's like saying that an omnivorous diet is healthy, while we all know that a diet of chicken nuggets and french fries isn't very healthy. About the paper, I didn't read it, because I'm not going to argue about whether or not a plant based diet can be healthy or not. Food is a complex subject that I simply don't know enough about.

And that's where you're wrong, because there is no vegan lifestyle, and there's no vegan diet. I myself used to exist on a diet of mostly beans, rice and lots of beer (was an alcoholic for 14 years). While perfectly vegan, it wasn't very healthy (of course), and I had been living like that before I even was a vegetarian, so my life style, that of an alcoholic, didn't change. Vegans aim to reduce non-human animal suffering and killing by avoiding animal products. It has nothing to do with food in and of itself. Ever considered the fact that if we had the ability to create meat from just DNA, using, say, nano machines (or something like that), that we'd be able to create vegan meat, because no animals were harmed and killed in the process? Or a hypothetical steak-tree. Nonsense of course, but very vegan if such a tree would exist none the less. What you're referring to is a high quality diet that just excludes animal based foods. The label vegan says nothing about the quality of ones diet. Strict vegetarian and vegan diets are simply diets that exclude animal based foods, and nothing more. Is a high quality non-animal based diet that includes vitamin B12 supplements healthy? Of course it is, just like any other proper diet.

You probably mean a vegan or strict vegetarian diet (strictly speaking there really isn't a vegan diet, of course). Non-strict vegetarians usually only exclude meat from their diets, but vitamin B12 is present in other animal based foods such as milk. Also, because vitamin B12 supplements aren't animal based, there's no problem for vegans and strict vegetarians to include those supplements in their diets.

No, they're not. Animals don't produce vitamin B12. The list of organisms you quoted are bacteria, not animals, which you would've known if you took some time to google the names of those organisms. Very obvious example: Salmonella (in your quoted list). Since when is that an animal?

Vitamin B12 is produced using micro organisms.

I'll take our current ridiculously fast and cheap computers over silly and dangerous flying cars any day

It seems to me that there has simply always existed something uncreated, and what or who that something is, is unknown (otherwise you'd get nonsense such as things popping into existence from absolute nothingness).

That just means that the number of objects you can own is variable. It's about the number of apples that you own, not about there being zero apples. Numbers can be used to indicate quantities, and for some things, these numbers can be zero, such as the number of euros in your wallet, or the number of times you've climbed Mount Everest.

Relative to what? If you have three apples, and you give them away, you're left with exactly zero apples. Nothing relative about it, otherwise you would still have some amount of apples left relative to something, which is nonsense.

If I have five bucks, and I spend all of them, how many do I have left? Right, zero. Really, how hard was that?

People have no right (not referring to legal rights) to cut parts off their children's bodies (unless for medical reasons, which doesn't apply here). It's a very barbaric practice that should be banned world wide.

A bit late, but these are orbitals:

No, it's not. 68000 family assembly language usually isn't.

Also useful for posting source code when no code tag is available, or it's syntax coloring doesn't handle the language the code is in properly: ; ; 32 bit Xorshift PRNG. ; ; Out: d0 = 32 bit pseudo random number ; xorShift32 move.l d1,-(sp) move.l seed,d0 move.l d0,d1 lsl.l #2,d1 eor.l d1,d0 move.l d0,d1 lsr.l #2,d1 eor.l d1,d0 move.l d0,d1 lsl.l #7,d1 eor.l d1,d0 move.l d0,seed move.l (sp)+,d1 rts

And what's with the fake atom? Wouldn't a nice orbital image be better?

Not if all you eat is junk food.
