my record is 160 and it makes me mad that ~145-153 is my "wall". no matter how much i relax my hands and do technique I cannot move beyond it. if i google advice/videos, its all people trying to get above 110 or so. I'm with tumbleweeds ... man it would be sweet to type 200 though.

Here is a trick: pause the simulation and drag the ripples back and forth really fast, it will create a "mega" wave. Then unpause and it will create a massive tsunami

Congrats on launching, but this feels like an uphill climb to get paying customers. You need to find the intersection of potential customers that know SQL but don't want to use one of the open source options. (perhaps data analysts working in restricted environments where the only option is a web browser)

As OSX user... if there is a nice pristine OSX app (like Postico) I will pay for it even if theres a free version (easily, hands down) if the UI/UX is nice, and pro version has extra features. So I'm definitely someone who would pay.

If you want to get a sense of which foods could be high in DEHP, you can go here

https://www.plasticlist.org/

and sort by the "DEHP" column.

If I understand correctly, an RXBAR could have up to 1% of your tolerable daily intake for DEHP, and most foods are well below that.

Based on the OP, it seems like DEHP might be a bigger issue in developing countries.

I remember when this link went around that this 1% column didn't really quite make sense. 1% makes it sound like it's well within the limit, even if you ate 10 in-n-out cheeseburgers a day.

I guess the question is, at what percent of the "tolerable daily intake" of DEHP do very bad side effects (like the heart issues in this post) start to occur?

Reports like this on the dangers of DEHP is exactly why I started work on NeutraOat (https://neutraoat.com/), a modified oat fiber supplement designed to trap plasticizers in your gut before they can get into your bloodstream. The idea is to give people an easy, safe way to avoid absorbing plasticizers that you've ingested.

Link above has a form to sign up for the mailing list. I also have a Substack post summarizing what we know about the dangers of plasticizers (https://trevorklee.substack.com/p/the-evidence-on-plasticize...) .

How likely (perhaps as a percentage) do you think it is that your product will work as described? I'd be interested in taking it, assuming that's all it does is remove plasticizers and not a bunch of good things, and otherwise is mostly inert.

Why do people really need to be told this? This is fundamentally obvious at the most extreme basic of levels. It's as obvious as a red cube being red.

When i type on iMessages, any time the message gets longer than ~8 sentences, ie... a mildly long message, it starts to lag extremely bad, where 1 keystroke has like a 250ms delay. it gets worse the more characters get added on

ive tried every single fix i can find, from turning off AI to predictive text. nothing fixes it. so many other people have this issue... it is absolutely insane a messaging app cannot message
