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.
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.
If you're interested in Egyptology, highly recommend "Empress of the Nile", about Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt who led many of the most notable archeology projects in the 1900's.
"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.
- Most of the furniture and art [1] that I've made. I'm a very analytical person and physical creative outlets where I just create things that "feel good" really help me unwind... Even if those projects are pretty difficult for my often times rudimentary skills. There's a small gallery on my personal website.
- My own company [2] that makes titanium hand-blown glassware for whisky and spirits. They're made in Europe, so I don't personally craft them, but the glasses are my design and I learned how to 3D print prototypes - so "made" might vary based on your definition. Tangible things are just really cool and grounding.
On the flip side, as the business owner of a what I'd call an "affordable luxury" product (about $45 for a hand-blown whisky and spirits glass), its also easy to overprice the product.
The most difficult thing is finding the balance and compromise in pricing because some customers will happily pay double the cost, but many won't.
My product is very expensive to make and my margins are not great, but this price gets me the most market saturation in a very important growth stage (business is only 2 years old) while still keeping the business profitable
This is a very Partridge-esque look at its history.
If anyone is a Coogan fan, I highly recommend seeking out The Trip. And not the terrible movie version, but the actual full series. Season 1 is such a brilliant piece of television.
Hello! 1) Full volume is about 6oz 2) Noted! 3) Correct, the tumbler skips the titanium because it's our more affordable product and it's less needed because the product does not have a stem.
Over the last several years I've made a habit of downloading PDF manuals for many things I own and saving them in a Google Drive folder for safe-keeping.
You never know when you need one until you do and it's a nightmare if you lost it!
