The article mentioned that they have a special deal worked out specifically with Chase, so that would have been there previously.

The Long-EZ is one of the most iconic planes ever created, in my book. I just watched one take off yesterday from my local airport.

RIP to the legendary Dick Rutan.

Amazon reviews for that scooter are rather negative: https://www.amazon.com/Segway-Air-T15-Lightweight-Step-Contr...

I've found that for a decent lightweight commuter scooter with a suspension to make it somewhat comfortable to ride, getting closer to $1000 is a more reasonable budget. The model in the blog post is more of a kids toy.

Seems like a lot of the negative reviews are abiut a bad purchase experience more so than the device itself, and the prices when mentioned are also several times higher than mentioned in the article.

The demo needs some work on mobile phones. Doesn't even show up unless I put my phone in landscape mode.

I'm in the process of moving the sidebar in the docs examples to the top so it can render properly in portrait on mobile. Should be fixed in the near future.

Seed oils generally refers to things like sunflower oil, soybean oil, safflower oil, vegetable oil, etc.

The best mass produced oils are probably olive and avocado.

I've noticed in chrome-based browsers, you can right click on a webp file and "edit image". When you save it, it defaults to png download, which makes a simple conversion.

Mobile browsers seem to default to downloading in png as well.
