    When someone dies in their 90's it's a time of fucking celebration, not grief. My grandmother just died - 96. Well done to her.

  2. the funny little programming construct called a database (available in both proprietary and open source models), which will provide everything that these companies need without the hot air and bs surrounding blockchain

    Far more efficiently with much quicker search and retrieval times, too.

  3. Actually an excellent one. There's no point in insisting patients comply with a lifestyle they are absolutely not going to comply with. That's something they don't print in medical texts.Perhaps you should re-read what I wrote:

    Exercise and weight control is going to help you a lot more than cutting meat out of your diet.

    Pick a lifestyle change to work on. Guess which one is more realistic.

  4. Their current government is scary

    I believe this is not a sentiment you will only find in China. It happens everywhere people find out that government isn't really about them, but about what's good for the people in government. Go ask in Venezuela, in Iran, in the UK or even in the US. You will get pretty much that same answer.

    Pointing out the fatal flaw in someone's argument is not anger, Mr. ad hominem.

    If your friend SURVIVES, he helps you in return, which makes it easier to spread your genes.

    Not always true and frankly quite naive. If your friend survives he's increased competition (for resources: food, territory, etc - and breeding females are just another resource) making it harder to spread your particular set of genes. Haven't you noticed that in actual nature - not this theoretical thing in your mind - the number of breeders is much less than the number of actual males? Unless you're the alpha you are just a meat-shield. Someone else who can die first before the real threat to the pack/colony/tribe is identified and the alpha fixes the problem. If you want to breed and spread your genes, you need to fight and usually kill the alpha.

    I am aware of my cholesterol levels and other health issues.

    Exercise and weight control is going to help you a lot more than cutting meat out of your diet. Blaming meat (even red meat) is so 1990's. Get with the times. Oh and yes, I AM a doctor.

    They LIKE their government. For some reason you believe the Chinese is system is imposed on the Chinese people. And before you bring up Tianenmen square (which was over 20 years ago) I will just say: yellow vest.

    trying to improve the world?

    Because one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist. Improvement is subjective.

  12. Even in the animal kingdom this is true.

  13. I think they believe that if they can come up with a substitute that doesn't make everyone instantly gag, then they can call us all terrorists for "choosing" to eat animals when there's "an alternative".

  14. Soft serv ice-cream is ancient 3-d printing - who knew! Need to the put the price of the ice cream up.

  15. I thought 3D printing hype died down years ago?

    Vegans are just discovering it. They're a bit slow, they've been too busy telling everyone how they're vegan, and how wonderful life is since they decided to become vegan.

    Why are vegans obsessed with making stuff that isn't meat into something they can call "meat". Surely a vegan is not interested in the appeal of something that sounds like meat, and a non vegan surely is not fooled into thinking that mushy brownish bean curd is a substitute for a nice, rare and bloody steak.

    On the bright side all the stuff they should have eaten is still alive.

    Then you didn't look very hard at all now, did you? Here, I linked a screenshot I posted on imgur where I outlined the relative comment with a nice big red box. I consider it a public service. I like helping the mentally handicapped. It's your own post but of course you can't be expected to remember everything you write.
