I became vegan because I wanted to reduce my involvement in the exploitation of animals, for me it is that I don't feel my needs are more important than the suffering of an animal.
You do realize you could have just gone free range/humane kill rather than full on vegan, right?
Also, how exactly are eggs and milk products exploitative and suffering inducing? I know a lot of people with cows and/or chickens. If you DON'T collect the eggs or milk the cow, it can cause discomfort for the animal, especially the milk. And if you don't have a rooster around, the chickens will just push the old eggs out of the way to lay a new one, and they usually lay daily.
Also, stop being so confrontational about Topre keyboards. Sure, you "like them", and so claims Ripster as well, but it's seriously annoying to have to read the same damn nonsense over and over, much of it patently incorrect, and the rest personal opinion stated as fact.
Now, I admit I jokingly suggested Topre as the quieter of black and red, but as I had just come from the audiophile thread, it seemed funny. Any it was obvious to everyone that it was a joke (I think so, anyway). Based on my knowledge of how they work, a black can be the quietest, if you adjust your typing, mod the board, etc. But as someone else stated, while the Topre might be louded in absolute dB, pitch matters. Just compare a Model M and a blue Cherry keyboard. The M is louder in dB, the blue FEELS louder to most people because of the much higher pitch.
