Some ground organic nuts, typically almonds - 1-2 tbsp
Organic spirulina - 4-7 g
Organic triphala blend (emblica officinalis, terminalia bellerica, and terminalia chebula) - 3-5 g
92% protein whey isolate - 50 g
Organic whole milk or cream/filtered water blend - as a base
Blended.
smoothie every morning, and cook a lot of international food which often requires processing. My old blender was plastic, not very powerful, and 99% of the ones on market, including the ones recommended by "buy it for life" communities are plastic/polycarb. I looked into glass ones but there's problems with powerful blenders where the glass can shatter. I wanted glass or metal because the abrasion of ingredients wears down plastic, and it goes into the food.
Anyway.
The Vitamix blenders are highly recommended, but the A3500i is still £749, with otherwise comparable specs to what I've gone for (2.5 HP motor etc), and the stainless steel container is an extra £200. Also, the non USA models have stupid legally required NFC sensors etc to make sure you can't turn it on without the container on top, and apparently they commonly break. So, the professional grade catering model is actually significantly cheaper, at £615, while still being comparable quality, and as powerful. I'd actually expect this model would last longer for personal/household use than a consumer model.

No mechanical or electrical signal cable that has to be carefully run from the handlebar shifters to the derailleurs through the frame and handlebar internals. This makes it easier to maintain and setup the bike.
Mechanical cables also stretch overtime ruining the gear indexing tune.

Don't pay list price. The actual groupsets can be found much cheaper, and can be fitted to any bike. Most of the big name bike brands make their frames in the same OEM factories as cheaper direct to consumer brands anyway.
At least we can go faster than most cars from point to point within the typical city/urban environment, and get our recreation and exercise in while doing so.
In cities like London, commuting to work in a car is a joke, and boring too.
In the countryside or the seaside, the cycling routes are much more beautiful than the roads.
I feel heretic saying this on a tech forum. With exception of a high quality light, there is not a single bar mounted electronic device that has proven to do anything but ruin the experience of riding a bike. I make a small exception for discrete battery monitor on e-bike.

Ever since I started riding a vintage French bike. Curses stream from me like silk down a thigh.
You should try doing 85 kmph+ downhill on a winding route with suboptimal lighting, without having a route map, speedometer and wattage metre in your peripheral vision (mounted in front of your bars/cockpit over your wheel), or without having a powerful front light and STI shifters that allow high grip security with modulated hydraulic brakes.
Having radar with bike computer integration on your rear light that warns you of approaching cars is useful too.
Do you like the vintage bike? I've got a 18 year old Opera Palladio titanium/carbon frame that I love.
Do you have the "suicide shifter" levers mounted on the frame?

Clearly we have broadly differing outlook that bleed over into my ongoing casual nudges at humor. Let it go, please as a request from one adult to another.
Think I'm going to include this in my "ask before using" category, not sure I want to trust other students in my house with a £570 blender that has full manual control... I'd probably have a burnt out motor in a week

I can imagine it much better: AT WORK.
It happens all the time when you work with Paraguayans. It's a social thing here at the border, to share either the mate (served hot) or the tereré (served ICE cold).

I'd better as well.
Back on-topic, I just received this cable I bought to connect my Switch to my Odyssey G8 (in the event my missus decides to monopolize the C1 in the living room):
