If I wanted to write a book, how does this translate to the publisher's standards when it comes time to hand in the design? Do publishers accept css files? How does that whole publishing pipeline work with this css framework?

And to sum it up: basically the entire sustainability accreditations have been taken over by corporate interests. So the label itself on every seafood item is super inaccurate and doesn't actually save the planet or the fish population

Executives are shameless. They'll lie to your face, backstab you to get more funds for their department over yours, and whatever else to get ahead for themselves. And they'll do it smiling all the way because they know they still

Stripe's customer service is pretty much nill, borderline negligence. One possible explanation could be a bad actor using your site as a testing ground for stolen cards. If enough has happened, then Stripe will just cut you off from ev

Can you clarify how it makes 10k/mo? I don't see anywhere on the site where a person could donate/buy something, and I don't see ads. Your download also seems free. How does it actually generate any cash for you?
