I don't know anyone that does their own protein powder and it ain't even that expensive if you make the calc for each serving. Going for the trouble to search up all the ingridients one by one and mixing them is way too tidious and a useless time sink.
As for your question: It's probably a flagship phone once in a while. Why do I think it's overpriced? Because I use like at most 10% of what the phone has to offer and pay for the 90%. Why do I do it anyways? Because I buy a phone once all 5-6 years or so. So having the newest tech of 5 years ago isn't that bad. Lower end phones don't hold that long.
I'm probably old and out of touch, but this used to be called "cooking"
It's not really cooking tho more like mixing stuff. To make your own protein powder, you need to mix almond flour, flaxseed flour and other high protein flours (pea or coconut etc). Sounds super easy, but than you are still lower in protein (but have higher fiber) than mosts protein powders. To come close to the stuff you can buy, you have to add some other type of protein concentrate (whey / soy protein etc) and if you add costs of all items you get around the same price as the protein powder (almond flour alone is super expensive)... so you have to ask yourself these question: is it really that much more healthy than the protein powder you can get? Is it worth the time I spend perfecting the ratio? Is it really cheaper than getting an average protein powder?
Why does it have to be powdered? Why can't it be real food?
Because the powder is in most cases a supplement to the food and not the food itself. Having a protein drink after workout does not exclude eating a well rounded (to your needs) meal. It is complementary to it. Yeah you could chug 10 egs or so after the workout, but that isn't that fun.
Why don't people just eat a decent diet? Protein powder is bullshit.
My last phone I got immediately after the preceding years model. I wanted the experience of staying up to date just once in my life.
But before that? I've only had 9 phones total, and the first 3 weren't even smartphones. So in 23-24 years I've had 9.
So I average a little less than your 5 years, but I did hit 5 once between Pixel 2 and 7.
I immediately jumped to 8, and it's already 3 now, but other than some battery degradation it runs like new still. That's the main reason I left the 2 finally. Charges would last like 3 hours and newer versions of apps were struggling on the pokey hardware. The cracked screen didn't even matter too much to me, but when both cameras died it was finally time. I still have it, occasionally pop out out to be a lil cat TV.
In your defense, even the 10% becomes obsolete pretty fast with most apps failing to support “old” mobile OSs after a few years.
