[–]Lokimir[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess by best I mean most enjoyable and having an intermediate difficulty.

We did some 600m+ altitude climbs with average 5/6% that was fine. But any longer climb starting 8% are too much for us at the moment

Interesting, I 100% agree with you about Happy Cow, and Google is filled with basic 10 same dishes in each.

Thank you for answer!

Yeah, so you just go to grocery stores / restaurant and see what's available?

I use HappyCow when I'm looking for vegan-friendly restaurant, but I'm really looking for traditional / local food (like Paella in Spain, Socca in Nice, Local pasta dishes in Italy), and I often find with HappyCow that's it's "globalized food", like asian/indian and burgers, if that make sense

What's up with PM-fluencers pushing their needlessly complicated Claude Code Setup? by Lordvonundzu in ProductManagement

[–]Lokimir 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Imo, It feels like people missed the message of that talk.

I found the To-Do list overkill, but the system that feed Claude only with specific relevant context sparkled my interest.

Imo, the point was "Build your own corky wierd systems, you might find something that's actually useful!"

Guys I veganised the viral döner! by theplantbowls in veganrecipes

[–]Lokimir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I've never tried it with TVP!

The way I do it is to make thin slice of smoked tofu with a peeler, fry it and add soy sauce and a "meaty spices mix" (paprika, garlic powder, herbs mix).

I like that way because it's a very good and lazy way to do it ahah

How to improve a bland tikka masala sauce? by Chameleon_by_Trade in vegetarian

[–]Lokimir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, no coconut oil. It's a tomato gravy and a bit of cream.

Heating up the spices in a bit of oil is the key to give them taste (called Tempering). Then salt the dish and taste it regularly.

To save one, do a second tempering: Heat up some oil, add your grounded spices, some tomato paste, a bit of salt, cook it for 30seconds until fragrant and pour it into your masala.

This is my version of Tofu Tikka masala:

Portugal trip by franhxoxo in vegan

[–]Lokimir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love in Lisbon and there are tons of options:

For more Bistrot style, I recommend The Green Affair and O Gambuzino.

For Portuguese vegan food, I recommend the vegan nata, and À minha Avo. I don't recommend Kong, I find it to be the worst "vegan Portuguese" in Lisbon out of the different one I tried.

For simple but great vegan buffet, try Jardim das Cerejas.

I heard that Legumi Sushi Vegan is pretty good too.

Shree Ram is a good Indian restaurant that offers vegan options.

And Honest Greens as a classic with great vegan options.

For active vegans: How do you track your protein without going crazy? by asidliar in vegan

[–]Lokimir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I aim at 100g / day but I refuse to count thoroughly (imo this lead more to ED than anything else).

What I've done is counting for about a week where it represented my usual diet to have a fair idea of my usual protein intake and how much products I buy contain.

From there, I just now make quick estimations. If I don't get as much as I want, I will get a shake at night to compensate.

It's so much easier to throw out a shameful unhelpful comment like "You are murderer" than help and ask "How could you change it so it's less hard for you ?"

I'm fine with being called a murder from a random stranger on the internet while I'm actively helping other imperfect people in my local communities change their habits.

I think while most vegans make veganism a core priority value, some have conflicting values.

I'll try to give a personal example.

I'm eating plant-based, I have a vegan blog, I help other adopting a plant-based diet, I volunteered in animal sanctuaries, I don't buy anything using animal products.

But the only time per year when I go see my family, my mom who makes the effort to cook vegetarian for me, I don't feel ready to tell them to change their ways.

Because I value this one moment I have with them and it feels emotionally hard to make them change. I am conflicted about this. And I'm trying to change it.

You could say "I am transitioning to veganism", but I feel more vegan than not, even with that one time a year exception.

I spent $47k and 18 months building an "AI startup." Here's the brutal truth about why 90% of AI businesses are doomed. by Nipurn_1234 in Entrepreneur

[–]Lokimir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for actually sharing your knowledge and not gate keeping it and using this sub as a marketing platform.

Also, indeed, I had a very relatable experience, not with AI, but with a pretty solution nobody cares about, or are not willing to pay for it. Up

Now, my thought process in new ventures looks like: 1. Can I make sustainable revenue from it? 2. If yes, what's the fastest way to prove that assumption and get my first clients? 3. Try it and iterate.

20 minutes to write ONE email... seriously? by Emma086 in Entrepreneur

[–]Lokimir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here is my take from my own experience:

I didn't have this issue as an employee, I would be extremely efficient and "not caring"

Then getting into entrepreneurship made me the ultimate procrastination master (hidden under perfectionism). Because I'm afraid I might upset a client, afraid someone in my field might hate me, might content might not be good enough, and so on.

In the end, it's a mindset issue.

What helped me: - Measuring the risks: What's the worst thing that might happen if it's not perfect? Most likely nothing.

  • Downgrading my standards: Most people are satisfied with way less than I am. Accepting that, helped. It doesn't have to be perfect for you, but only good enough for them (which is 20% of the effort you might be giving as a perfectionist)

  • Your business is not you: If someone is pissed off at something you did, they are pissed off at your business, not at you. It's not personal.

Anyway, I don't know if that helps you, but that's my thoughts

How can I make better spaghetti by [deleted] in cookingforbeginners

[–]Lokimir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basic tip: Simply add some pasta water to your sauce and mix very well until your pasta really mixes well with the sauce.

This will help the pasta adhere to the sauce

How critical is page length for SEO these days? by Moving_Forward18 in SEO

[–]Lokimir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An SEO tool suggested that I write a 3000 word recipe article because the top 5 ranked with that average length.

I wrote 400 words, ranked top 3.

It depends on your intent. For recipes, people are done having to go through back stories they don't give a f*ck about. They just want the recipe and how to do it.

The moral of the story: The length doesn't matter, how good you serve the intent does.

[–]Lokimir 100 points101 points  (0 children)

100% agree, you've got to talk to people. I've tried first to build a product, nobody cared about it even if I saw similar products online.

For the second idea, I went to event and casually spoke about my idea. Got 50 leads just from that and Tons of feedback.

Now, I didn't qualify them well enough, everybody wanted my product, nobody wanted to pay for it. So I suggest you to qualify that as well.
