I make my Caesar with kale and arugula, shave broccoli with a peeler then roast them, and add pine nuts plus roasted garlic lemon chickpeas in addition to croutons for even more and healthier crunch. It’s also delicious with just oil.

So many campaigns for recycle… but not enough on the two more important pieces - Reduce and Reuse.

Over the years I have refurbed some furniture which is a fun hobby in addition to being environmentally helpful.

I think it’s also worthwhile to pay for higher quality items that are made well and last. A nice pair of leather boots can get repaired for minimal cost and mine have lasted over a decade of very hard wear.

New adoption perk is ability to avoid DNA based shadow profiling (given no voluntary self sharing of DNA and current ID, of course)

A good chunk of inflation is just price gouging, in today's modern world.

There are more tools to understand data and squeeze every penny from customers.

It's admirable when a company isn't trying to bleed customers dry.

One thing I have to really congratulate you on is your product video.

I honestly think it's one of the best I've seen for any software. It showcases the functionality, displays the actual UI, doesn't rely on narration, is visually interesting, and succinct.

Was it made internally or with an agency?

"The results suggest removing vegetarian and vegan labels from menus could help guide US consumers towards reduced consumption of animal products."

In Europe it is very common to see menus with iconography for fish, plants, grains, and cheese to quickly identify diet friendly items. To me, as a meat eater with a pescatarian girlfriend, it makes the menu seem much more friendly and inclusive. And from my anecdotal experience as a US citizen in Los Angeles who spends a lot of time in Europe, they are much more vegetarian friendly over there.

Maybe removing labels isn't the answer, maybe adding more is.

Lets say the same asteroid hit the same place in Australia today....

How many people would both directly from impact/shockwave and indirectly die (infrastructure collapse, tsunamis on beach towns, climate change, etc) from this, do we think?

I think there's an inflection point at around 40 employees where terminal velocity starts to slow down due to a combination of sheer headcount and founder exhaustion.

It's something I've personally seen and have read about so many times. Some make it through this stage but it's extremely difficult because it requires a very different set of skills and experiences. It becomes less about grinding, which in theory is very simple to explain and encourage.
