I hope so too, but sadly this clip aptly summarizes the truth of it. Both in regards to kids and Star Citizen in general.

Can you find out how many people are actually backers?

I'll look into it; I don't think I can with my current data pull script. I could do it by scraping their actual HTML forum profiles rather than their profile JSON, but it would have to wait until I have some time to write the scraper, and it's going to be significantly longer to get all the data. I hadn't done it before because I was being lazy and not multithreading my scripts and it would have taken way too long to do an HTML pull, but now that I've fixed that issue, I think it may be feasible.

Ethical, spiritual, health reasons or just to "try it out" ?

If you dont already know much about it, learn to cook and give a special consideration to spices and herbs since vegan food can sometime be a little bland. Also look in advance what restaurant around you have good vegetarian offering.

If you are going "Full vegan" as in "absolutely nothing from an annimal will ever cross my lips again!" get an nutritionist appointent. Without a good meal plan for the first few weeks you might find yourself with iron and/or Vit D deficiency.

Honestly i cant recommand going from regular omnivorous diet to vegan in a single go. If you really want to do it, do it gradually, first by having meat only one day out of two, then one out of 3 and so on. Or may be try going "Bhudist diet (no 4 legged annimal meat or chicken. You can still enjoy eggs, milk , cheese and fish)" for a little while and see how it pans out.

Finally, many vegans and vegan writers are tiny 5'4'' women doing a white collar job. Dont try to follow their eating habit if you are 6ft guy who work landscaping, for your going to be sick and miserable. You can be massive and be a vegan (hell, Sumo wrestlers are nearly vegan in the traditional diet) but you have to adjust for your own needs and body.







And i just realised you typed Vegas and not vegan

Go shoot some guns on full auto and try the Heart Attack Grill on Fremont St.

I was very confused and then I laughed really hard

I watch a lot of Star Citizen streamers on twitch.tv, and lately I have been running into more and more people who are completely misinformed about the current state of development. It is leading me to believe that Derek Smart's smear campaign is working. Can't CIG sue him for all he's worth? (which isn't much)

But to answer the OP... Derek's campaign online has seemed to gather a lot of ground with the unknowing public on the Internet. People are repeating his BS as if it were fact. One website in particular that I used to love, which I found really disappointing.

I'll take a look after work today; I think I can at least get a list of subscribers, but I'm not sure I can differentiate between the two types. I may have to add some DB columns and run another data pull, which takes a few hours to get everything, though, so it might be a couple days until I get around to it.

When did you become reasonable? Not complaining or making fun at all, but are you now leaning towards CIG not being able to deliver?
