    1) "More nutrients" doesn't mean much. The only "meat-specific" vitamin (it's actually produced by bacteria, but is found in animal tissue) that vegans need to supplement for is B12, which is super easy/cheap to do. 2) Suffering is pretty hard to avoid in animal agriculture, especially on the...

    I don't see the possible difference between 'on paper' veganism and 'in practice' veganism. You're already making a choice whenever you purchase or eat animal products. You'd just be making a different choice. Which good reasons are those? Tradition ('we have always done it') can't be one, as...

    Sneaky edit. For the record, I liked the quoted post when it simply said "It is and I know it is." Food for thought: it takes more plant matter to produce meat than we get in return as food. Given that much of the meat we produce is not grass/pasture-fed ("a large percentage of grains grown in...

    Rice, legumes, vegetables, and fruit are pretty cheap; you don't need processed meat substitutes, pre-packaged vegan foods, or organic produce to be vegan. I spend an absurdly low amount of money on food. Knowing how to cook (or having a willingness to learn how to) helps a lot. The primary...

    Guilt by association is not a valid argument. It's an unfortunate position that vegans are in; they have a completely valid argument to present and yet they have, for whatever reasons, gained a pretty bad reputation. I hope that someday you'll be willing to look past what you dislike about...

    You're missing the important part of the definition of veganism: Yes, animal products are incredibly pervasive in all aspects of life, but some are easier to avoid than others, and avoiding the avoidable is what veganism is about. It's also worth it to note that the picture you posted is a...

    There being 'too many "Vegans"' could serve to prove that it isn't too much to ask. Animal products aren't necessary (for the vast majority of people), so any potential harm you cause by eating/wearing/using animals is avoidable; vegans just make sure they try to avoid that potential for harm...

    Tangent alert. Calling vegans out for not being part of the solution to all world problems is not an argument against veganism. Environmental friendliness is not even an inherent part of veganism (though it can potentially be part of an argument for veganism).

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    It's a sporadic bug from The Spice of Life. The latest version of the mod should fix it.

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Ugh, turns out I forgot to put the debug code in v1.0.5a. I'd really appreciate it if you could try this version: SpiceOfLife-mc1.6.4-1.0.5-test.jar. It will print to the log whenever you eat food, so you probably only want to use it when debugging this (and I'll need the...

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    It wouldn't be a config issue, it's a (seemingly) rare bug that I've only had reported by 1 other person, and I put some code in 1.0.5 that might help to debug it, but I need the logs from when it happens.

    If you can, post your server log from when this was happening.

    redstone vs stonebound

    You have that backwards. Redstone modifier has exponential gains, not diminishing returns (you get more and more speed the more redstone you add), see this thread. The speed that redstone adds is also not affected by any other factors; it is a straightforward addition, so only the tool type...

    Changed the 1.7.2 version of TiC Tooltips to a 1.7.10 version (no changelog) because TiC for 1.7.2 is not supported and TiC moved straight to 1.7.10.

    Agrarian Skies [3.1.1] & Tinkers construct

    That would do it. Silky lowers mining speed (and damage) by 3.

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Yeah, sorry. For anyone that isn't aware, the latest SoL version should (hopefully) fix the health not being restored bug.

    Will be fixed in the next version.

    Blood N Bones [Hardcore Survival]

    Some foods will do that. It's frustrating seeing just how many different ways that various mods implement foods. Some intentionally avoid using the 'standard' way, which can trick my mod into showing incorrect values. I'll look into that food, specifically, as it probably needs a special case...
