The comparaison of chicken and tomatoes is a strawman. First off: people don’t swap them in their diet, a better exemple would be wheat or soy - which are what the 0.99/p chicken eat [edit: and i…

Do what you like and as you like, but my two cents: if you want to make something that seems hard, start with one step and continue step by step at your own peace. Big goals are accomplished by proudn…

Most modern eBicycle have a swappable battery. For extra convenience aim for big brands like Bosch or Shimano but other brands are not a huge deal to swap as the voltages are mostly the same: 24, 36, …

The “sensitive” toggle is off by default. I’m curious about the rationale, what's the benefit of this default for users and/or Vercel? https://vercel.com/docs/environmen…

If that helps, some non-cheese that might trigger your taste buds: - Brewer/nutritional/super yeast (with a bit of oil and/or smashed cashew): in place of Parmesan - Tahini: less cheesy…

Great project ! I roamed your website and saw the fire test pack includes a venting valve but I don't see it on the 3D renders of the packs on sale. My armchair understanding is the test may not …

May you share a recipe or two? I love tofu too but mostly buy pre-prepared ones, open and bite it cold (yummy !) My current favorites are the "dried" Taifun like their Japanese Style. https…
