Microblog

Added some microblogging facilities for those micro-thoughts I often have during the day, links I might want to share, etc. Yeah, I’m not going to use Twitter, Threads is barely any better (and at this point Meta is basically an arm of the US government), and meh…if I was the only person to ever look back on this I’ll still consider it worthwhile.

A number of local stores were retailing a Neilson protein chocolate milk product over the past month or so. Featuring 26g of very high quality whey protein per 325ml bottle and minimal sugar (only natural milk sugars), this product is an absolute banger, and while a lot of people don’t like the light sweetening — only a small amount of stevia — with an added sucralose sweetener it is an amazing way to start the day.

$9.99 CAD for a 12 pack, which is an astonishing value. I bought some at $19.99 a few weeks earlier and was a big fan at that price too. You can’t make a protein drink yourself this cheap with the dodgiest protein powder.

If you’re listening, Neilson, please continue with this product. Not sure if you just had an excess of powdered milk that you needed to get rid of or something, but this is a great product in a space that is dominated by American brands like Fairlife.
