What's a Vegan Alternative Food That Is Better Than the Original?

Probably something Mexican, like veggie tacos. Those are absolutely wonderfulu2026 pure veggies with no greasy meat or fatty, salty cheese to get in the way.And, of course, black bean burritos in place of the re-fried pinto beans which oftentimes are flavored with lardu2026 thatu2019s another good and more u201cnaturalu201d option.

Plus, with the more varied flavor profile of the vegetables, you donu2019t even need the salty and fatty cheese.Speaking of which, replacing the re-fried beans in a tostada with guacamole makes for a nice chilled, crisp alternative.And of course, thereu2019s always the old u201cMexican restaurantu201d standby.

I donu2019t care what little Mexican restaurant you go to, if you want something besides a simple cheese-less bean burrito or guacamole saladu2026 which generally consists of just lettuce, tomato and avocadou2026 every last Mexican Restaurant in the US will have a vegetable fajita option you can choose instead of the chicken or steak standards.Sure, many countries have plenty of vegan cuisine but much of it is simply food without meat. Mujadara, Aloo Gobi, Pad Thai Noodles.

Those are foods in their own right, not an alternative to some meat dish. But with Mexican cuisine (as I know it) there are plenty of alternative optionsu2026 the veggie fajitas, the veggie tostadas, etc.I suppose Chinese food deserves an honorable mentionu2026 they give you options like vegetable fried rice, vegetable lo meinu2026 and, at the sit down restaurants, you can usually substitute tofu for any meat.

However, while I happen to love tofu, not everyone doesu2026 and while I also enjoy vegetable fried rice, I canu2019t honestly say there is anything u201cbetteru201d about it than chicken fried rice, except for the lack of pieces of a dead chicken in it. I think Iu2019ll have to stick with the Mexican option for vegan alternatives to non-vegan foods that are actually better.Peace be with you, my friend!

Which is the best compiler for C & C programming?

From your question it appears that you are under the impression that the compiler is responsible for your program being lightweight or fast. Both of these properties are not dependent on your compiler but rather the code that you write!

It doesn't matter if you have the worst or best compiler. If your algorithms are slow, no matter what the compiler does, your program will be slow. IDE or not wont make a difference.

Any IDE under the hood has a compiler, and you would be able to use that. Even Visual Studio, an IDE, uses a compiler, cl, and you can invoke that yourself!So, you want the program to run on different OSes.

Okay, that is a valid concern. It rules out some compilers like MSVC since it only targets Windows. However, you don't want any libraries.

Well, then I guess you can't use C either; you should look at assemblers. At that point, the need for filtering toolchains is over since you are responsible for the OS level details. Why assemblers?

Because the language runtime for C (libc) is a library! What do you consider a framework? Isn't the kernel a framework for resource management?

Perhaps you shouldn't run on "Windows, Linux, etc". Honestly just about any compiler would do. Sure a particular compiler may miss an optimization or two, but overall, the performance difference will be negligible.

The first rule of optimization: optimize the hotspots. It doesn't matter if you improve a function a 1000x if it runs 0.1% of the time, you can just optimize a function 2x if it runs 100% of the time, and get better performance.

Finally, you seem to want a plain C compiler. Well that rules out most compilers. clang includes C, Objective C, Objective C and you can't disable that.

Intel's compiler has C support and you can't disable that. You have just limited yourself to gcc and older compilers like Turbo C or Watcom (well, OpenWatcom these days). Rather than worrying about what compiler to use, worry about what algorithm to use.

Worry about data layout, and memory usage. It doesn't matter what compiler you use. Just about any compiler that supports the OSes you are interested in will be just fine.

Don't fuss over IDE or language. Just focus on the problem, and the solution to it. The performance and overall complexity is in your hands, not the compiler's.

When thereu2019s a big difference between systolic & diastolic pressure, does that mean the heart is beating too hard, assuming systolic is the big one?

What you are describing is called a widened pulse pressure. By criteria, a wide pulse needs to have >80mmHg between the systolic and diastolic (so lets say 170/80mmHg).I understand why you assumed a wide pressure would be caused by a stronger heart elevating the systolic value.

But its usually the other way around There are multiple etiologies for wide pulse pressure and the most common one would be aortic regurgitation.What happens is that your Left Ventricle (LV) pumps blood under a certain pressure, establishing the systolic pressure. Then the aortic valve should close until the next cycle.

If you have a regurgitant Aortic valve, some blood will flow back into the LV, in addition to the regular blood its getting from the Left atrium (LA). So on the beginning of the next cycle, the LV is over-filled (because filled from both LA and regurgitant blood.Imagine a balloon that is over-stretched, it would have tendency to spit its content out more strongly and rapidly, right?

Same happens with the over-filled LV. On the next cycle it would spit its blood faster and more strongly, establishing a higher systolic pressure. But just like before, we still have a regurgitant aortic valve which will leak back into the LV, which will also be over-streched for the next cycle, etcSo understand this is a vicious cycle.

The systolic pressure keep being high to over-stretched LV and the diastolic pressure keeps being low because then the aortic valve leaks, it is decreasing the amount of blood in the main vessels, thus the diastolic pressure. So Aortic regurgitation causes both an increase in systolic pressure and a decrease in diastolic pressure to the point that their difference becomes >80mmHg, thus called a widened pulse pressure.So yeah, its due to a bigger ejection fraction and contractility of the ventricle, but that is not because you have a big healthy heart but rather because you have a heart thats leaky and trying its best to maintain forward flow (you as in the patient).

A stronger contraction alone might increase systolic pressure, yes. but never enough to meet the criteria of wide pulse pressure. Very few pathologis give this finding and as I said, Aortic regurgitation is the most common one.

Hope this helped!

How much would you praise any bus driver for saving your life at the time of a huge risk?

I guess this appliesu2026well sort ofu2026only I wasnu2019t the person saved.

Read on. Itu2019s a sweet story. I donu2019t know that you could ever praise them enough.

Some friends of mine were on a bus tour as a part of a vacation. It was a five day trip with about thirty people - mostly older women. This particular bus driver had been with the group before.

They requested him when they chartered the bus. After breakfast one day, the group boarded the bus to go to a mall for some shopping. When they arrived at the mall, one of the ladies stood up and immediately fell the the floor.

The driver picked her up, began CPR, and ordered everyone off the bus. He then took off in the bus to a hospital that he had seem less than a block from the mall. He pulled right up to the ambulance bay doors, picked the lady up and carried her inside.

Two of her friends were with him. He must have radioed ahead or something because the people at the hospital immediately attached EKG leads. She was flat lining.

They brought her back. He stayed long enough to see that she was checked in and then returned to the mall. He best friend was traveling with her and was able to contact the womanu2019s adult children.

The driver was at the hospital with the friend whenever he could for the rest of the day until her family arrived. The tour continued and he stayed with the group. But at the end of the tour on the return route, after her children had arrived, the bus was able to pick her friend up to go home.

And then, the last day of the tour came. It was a five day tour. Someone had already contacted the tour company and they had sent him a huge commendation and a bonus check.

The hospital had put him on their hero board. On the night before the last day, the group had always collected money for a tip for the driver. There envelope made the rounds.

In the past when I have been on these tours, the drivers get maybe fifteen dollars per person. There is already a tip built into the cost of the charter too. I was told that the envelope contained close to two thousand dollars.

In addition to this, the group made a donation to charity in honor of the driver. The woman who collapsed survived and is still with us. Sadly, when their next trip came around, that particular driver had retired
