Beats public transport where people are shoved in without any social distancing.
Four billion years is a lot of time for that randomness (via selective pressure of the environment or of life itself) to produce tons of crazy results.

I do both, old stuff and new stuff depending on the mood. Lately I've been exploring some genres I didn't even know existed like medieval speed folk (Perkelt is a group I like) and Dungeon Synth (Fief is my favorite so far).

Veganism is mostly about reducing animal suffering. It also has a health angle but it's mostly about the ethics of killing animals when we can have a complete and healthy diet eating plant-based (plus fungi).

2 years of psychoanalysis, tons of books. But for real, everyone can benefit from psychoterapy, just be aware that there are a ton of different schools of thought.

There are tons of easy alternatives for vegetable protein, including good old lentils, beans, chickpeas, etc. You don't have to go out of your way to buy tempeh or gourmet vegetarian food.
Selective breeding isn't genetic engineering though. GMO is used when genes from a species are inserted into another, not for strains that are produced through artificial selection of organisms with desirable traits.
Well, not only that; caffeine in plants acts as a natural pesticide.
If I did it someday I wouldn't be thinking about making money, just being self-sufficient and growing enough food for me and my family. If I could sell some that's great but that's not the objective.

Can you expand on the avocado stuff, or do you have a source? Sounds pretty interesting.
Re:Should people be eating more fat? on Monday October 20, 2014 @11:25AM (#8482564)
Lately I've been on a diet of vegetable fats and proteins, almost no carbs (only fiber). Lots of avocados and seeds (chia, flaxseed, sunflower, sesame) which have approximately 50% fat content 45% protein 5% fiber. I lost body fat while eating as much as I wanted of that, along with yoghurt, eggs, cheese and veggies, the only thing off the table is bread, although I eat some once in a while.

People eat too many carbs in their daily life and don't even notice and they carry lots of long term health risks.

Re:What's new in Unity 4.3 on Tuesday November 12, 2013 @02:36PM (#6720323)
I prefer Gamemaker Studio (http://yoyogames.com/) it's more code oriented but very easy to use. There's a free version too. Look up Hotline Miami if you want to see a commercial game made with it.
