That's due to the lack of real meat proteins in your diet, perhaps?

With all respect to you Sander, whose fault is that? I was brought up with a mom that told me: "Eat what is on the table or you won't get any food" and "I've been standing around for so and so long making dinner for you, you'd better eat it or stop wasting my time and make your own food"!
If you have a medical affliction that makes you incapable of eating certain food, fine! But if you just don't WANT to eat what is served, by all means go hungry as far as I am concerned!
There's too much egocentrism around today, too much "I do what I want! It's MY right, and you should all respect that". But tell other people what they should put on their table, sure, THAT they can do! Everybody should respect THEM, but they don't have to respect other people!
Sorry, but it really pisses me off! People are welcome to do what they like in their own home, I don't care, but they shouldn't force it on the rest of us...
This is nothing personal Sander, just a rant against a general attitude! Sorry
[ADDENDA] If I get served something I don't like, I'll just eat as little of it as possible and eat more of what I DO like. I never, ever expect people to make special food for me - I would rather go hungry than put people out [/ADDENDA]

I'm not telling you what you should or should not eat, but if you invite me to your home to have dinner I'm going to tell you I'm a vegetarian.
A good host would take my diet into account and would probably even ask if there's anything I don't eat (I also don't like corn and peas).
If you still serve me meat you're not a good host, we'll have an awkward dinner and I'll happily reject your invitation next time.
Likewise, if I invite you to my home for dinner I'll ask if it's okay if I cook something vegetarian (and most meat eaters are fine with it, none of my friends eats meat every day anyway), but some people really enjoy their meat (my dad and grandpa, for example). If you want your meat I'll get you your meat.
It's not really an attitude, just taking each other's wishes into account.

So I should cook special food for you if you visit me, but if I visit you, I should eat what you serve? Seriously, can't you hear the double standards there? It's nice of you that you want to cook meat for your dad and grandpa, but to be honest, it's the first time EVER I've heard such a statement from a vegetarian
And I don't agree - it IS an attitude, and it comes from children being spoiled rotten these days... The attitude that other people should adapt to ME, but I don't have to adapt to other people. And it's a real rotten attitiude, because it leaves us with a world where people have no consideration for each other, the straight opposite of what you claim...
An example: Young people don't stand up for older people on the subway any more, because THEY have a right to sit down as well. Sure, but somebody may need the seat more...
The "I have my rights" attitude effectively eliminates all consideration to other people

How did you get that from my words? 
Let me tell you about double standards, if I come to your house I should eat meat because that's what you serve, but if you come to my house you expect meat too because that's what people are supposed to eat. So how is that any different?
So I was saying we should all respect each other's wishes, meat, vegetarian, no peas, gluten-free, what have you, and a good host would do so.

Well, I guest it's not all that different, but I didn't say that you had to eat meat. If you read my Addenda to the first post I made, I would expect you to eat the parts of the menu you wanted to eat. I'm assuming that it is a mixed company with guests that eat meat and guests (you in this case) that don't.
As mentioned, if I were going to a dinner party I wouldn't expect the host to cook any special food for me, and frankly as a host: If you have to take everybody's quirks into consideration, chances of being able to put together a menu at all are slim to none.
Never mind, can't we just agree on the fact that most likely, we will not invite each other to dinner?

It's like C. If you use tofu correctly, you can make some great dishes out of it. If not...it turns into an awful mess.

I'd say that:

Is both good C usage and good tofu usage.

I just updated a certain not particularly wanted runtime that to avoid naming names I'll call Dumpster Fire on my PC, and it launched a tab in one of my browsers in an attempt to confirm that it had infected the browser too:
Quote: Verify Dumpster Fire Version
The Chrome browser does not support NPAPI plug-ins and therefore will not run all Dumpster Fire content. Switch to a different browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari on Mac) to run the Dumpster Fire plug-in. More info
A when the url was copied over second browser reports:
Quote: Verify Dumpster Fire Version
We are unable to verify if Dumpster Fire is currently installed and enabled in your browser.
If you have installed Dumpster Fire and there is an error with the verification, there could be a configuration issue (eg. browser, Dumpster Fire control panel, security settings) or the Dumpster Fire plug-in is blocked by the browser. Try restarting your browser before trying to verify the installation again, and check that the browser allows Dumpster Fire to run.
Now if I could just free my system as a whole from it, but I can't because I might need to do Android dev at some point in the future.
PS While it was installing I noticed that the version of the Dumpster Fire installer I got no longer claimed "over billion devices" ran Dumpster Fire. I wonder why they chose to remove it.

Dumpster Fire is a coffee flavor.

Yup, also a major island, not that anyone here needed either hint.

Dead giveaway, since it is advertised on each non-update.

I regularly get the request to download the latest version of Dumpster Fire, and when I accept it promptly tells me I already have the latest version. And IT want to build core systems on this piece of crap!

Do you still need the Dumpster Fire runtime installed if you use an AeroKidney* IDE? I know AeroKidney* IDE's don't need a separate Dumpster Fire installation, they've got one properly sandboxed quarantined inside the IDE process.

It was a term too good to not spread beyond the cluster elephant that domestic politics have turned into over the last half year. The target for doing so was obvious.
