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

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.

Very cool. Makes me think of this wonderful scene from Sports Night where William Macy talks about Philo Farnsworth and Cliff Gardner inventing TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-va0tWJLTc

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 vis

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. https://www.goodreads.com&#

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

Some stuff I'm particularly proud of: - 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.

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

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 lo

Definitely saving this comic for future reference! Was chatting about "marketing gimmicks" earlier with a colleague but saying so what if the gimmicks are actually objectively good? Things like product made by humans, sustainable

For sure! Obviously it's good if some things are made by machines (like things that requirement super-fine tolerances), but the movement towards "Made by Humans" is trending away from "hipster" or "nerd" i

Love it! Thank you! Usability was very important in development. The crystal is dishwasher friendly and as is the design itself (I wanted them to be able to fit in the top-racks of consumer dishwashers as most wine glasses are too tall.)

Ah, should have been more clear. The code is just for the stems. The new tumblers are 33% off (automatically) though since they're on a pre-order special right now!

In bars with decent brown spirits programs they probably use them, but no they're not anywhere near as common as they are in Europe. I've also never seen them in Michelin-level restaurants here because the quality of the glass isn

Crystal consists of many raw materials with silicon dioxide making up the majority of the mix (70+%). Titanium dioxide is melted in with everything in a brand-new solar powdered furnace that runs up 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit iirc. Titanium h

Crystal is stronger than standard glass which is why it can be so thin. Modern production of lead-free crystal is generally pretty good now. Old leaded crystal is extremely brittle and prone to chipping and fractures which definitely soured

It's something I battle against every day. I'm constantly told that whisky shouldn't be served in a stemmed glass. Honestly, I think half of my job is education. The masculinity of the marketing message towards spirits is dee

Thanks! I like seeing how many folks know about the Teku beer glass. Very different use case, but the shape philosophy is similar. With Bennuaine it was really about fine-tuning the dimensions through a ton of research and prototyping to re
