Humans need amino acids that are only found in meat for our full health. This is easy enough to counteract by taking vitamin supplements
There are no aminoacids that you can’t find in plants. And there are no aminoacids that can be replaced by vitamins. Iron deficiency is a real possibility when eating a vegan diet, but B12 deficiency is a certitude for those who don’t supplement.
I was fully vegan for about 2 years. Being a clinical biologist, I’ve been having blood tests done regularly and inspecting my own blood smears. After a year or so I’ve began to see my hemoglobin and ferritin levels drop, so I started trying various iron supplements. Only one of them worked (a sucrosomial iron supplement) and started raising my hemoglobin. Sadly, I deemed it to be too slow and too expensive, so I started eating eggs again, occasionally some fish and chicken. After a few weeks I started gaining muscle mass and I saw some drastic improvent in my fitness levels (I guess I was also underestimating my necessary protein intake). After a year of eating meat and eggs, my ferritin has normalised, and so has my hemoglobin and erythrocite indices. After my experiences I’m still not going to discourage people from at least trying a vegan diet. I’ve seen enough vegans who are healthy, and I’ve seen people for whom a vegan diet is insuitable. It’s ok to quit if it affects your health.
Most vegans don’t need supplements. Just check your b12/iron every 2-3 years
This is false. Your B12 reserves will deplete slowly but surely if you don’t supplement. Iron, ferritn, and a complete blood count containing hemoglobin and red blood cell indices should be checked more often than once 2-3 years. Many vegans will need supplements, especially young women.
Here in Sibiu (Romania), they are a pretty rare sight outside of the city centre. You usually have to make do with a tree or a streetlamp or whatever. Supermarkets usually have bike racks, but they’re usually the crappy kind in which you can only lock a wheel.
These roads go through the bears’ natural habitat. There’s only so much you can do without wiping them out. Bears have become a bit of a problem lately, they’ve been going near towns and villages, at times they even get lost and end up on the city streets. That’s what mindless deforestation gets you, you know?
I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics), where a food cannot be delicious, cheap and healthy at the same time. At maximum 2 of the 3 can be achieved....
I know right? I use canned chickpeas and an air fryer. I sprinkle a bit of salt, pepper and paprika on them, sometimes a little bit of olive oil. Now that's a good healthy snack!
I used to be a bit of a caffeine fiend (up to 10 cups a day at times), up until I found this nice roastery in town. I started trying freshly roasted beans of different origins. Shit's so good, so good in fact that the usual stuff I've been drinking now tastes like crap. I can't drink it anymore, it gives me no pleasure....

Thanks! It wasn't my dog though, it belonged to some random guy I met there. He looked a bit unkempt and he was feedeng a bunch of dogs. He told me he was a cycling chamion in the Balkans. Then he went off on a tangent about Moses and the ten commandments. He didn't seem threatening, but I'm sure the man suffered from schizophrenia.
Nothing much to talk about, it’s just a picture of my steel road bike. It’s not the fastest, nor the lightest, the most aerodynamic, but it sure does put a wide grin on my stupid-ass face.
I think it's become a niche option because of the price. Higher end steel tubing is not cheap these days, and a good quality steel frame can cost about the same as a good carbon fibre frame. And don't get me started on Titanium...
Making a steel frame is also labour intensive, it's not just welding together a bunch of tubes. First, those tubes are expensive. They're not just metal pipes (look up Reynolds 725, 853, 953 tubes or equivalent products from Columbus or Tange).
Then there's the frame building process, any frame worth it's money will use double or triple butted tubes (the thickness of a tube wall varies along the length of the tube for compliance and weight saving reasons).
Then there's the economy of scale. Steel frames are a bit niche right now and are made in small numbers. Some of the fancier ones are produced in the EU or the US, which raises the costs by quite a lot.
But yeah, it would be nice if they were a bit less expensive.
I can't really justify the cost of some nice Favero's so I go by heart rate for now. But my trainer does have an integrated powermeter and I know how useful it can be.
I have no idea, I didn't even try unlocking unlocking the bootloader and flashing ather ROMS. I just got really used to the Samsung interface to the point where my next phone is probably going to ba another Samsung. I wouldn't go back to fiddling with ROMS, I just don't have the patience to do so anymore.
