It's best to do 10 squats every 45 minutes regardless of sitting or standing.

Shhh... you're not supposed to say anything about this!

We need to sell the idea of abundance for everyone so investors and employees will feel good about dedicating their livelihood to our organization!

After watching Dark Waters and becoming fearful of PFAS, I don't understand how these PFAS aren't completely eliminated from production. Is it because they help reduce spoilage/leakage which allows food to travel further and increase shelf life? Do the lobbyists argue that this reduces food waste?

How is it legal for Sweetgreen, Cava and other restaurants to use PFAS in "compostable" food packaging and make it seem like a "sustainable" alternative to plastic packaging? [1]

It's difficult for me to contain my emotions whenever I read about PFAS being found in yet another common material and certain government bodies trying to deregulate safety inspections [2].

I'm open-sourcing this project! It's a solid MVP for a food-logging app.You can see it in action for free at https://foodlogger.ai - I don't plan to host the app much longer as I no longer wish to run it as a paid-for product.This is a good project to work on for someone that wants to give Remix a try without having to build a project from scratch.

Nice, what kind of notes are you looking for?

Show HN: AI-Powered Food Logger

Hey HN!A few months ago I was dealing with some minor IBS-related things and wanted an easy food tracker to figure out which foods were causing issues. I didn't like the available apps so I took a stab at building my own which uses voice recognition instead of typing as an input method. It seemed like a much simpler and faster way to log meals and whatnot.Fast forward to today, the MVP is...

Hmm. I'm using Remix and Vercel for a side-project right now and it's pretty awesome. Lightning fast build times (around 30 seconds).

At work, I use Vercel with Next.js and our build times are in the one-three minute range.
