While this uses potassium chloride to cut down on sodium, does a mix of sodium chloride and MSG have the same effect? MSG has sodium, but it looks like not much per unit weight.

Not at all the statement of a moron: in colloquial usage yeah, salt is sodium chloride, but in in a chemistry setting it is not just sodium chloride. In this case it probably has potassium chloride


a sodium-free salt.

But the most expensive gear isn't necessarily more dangerous than the entry level gear, and in some cases, may even be safer.

...but was it the "Windows Uninstall" button...or the "format /dev/sda1 as ext4" button?

California has optional mail ballots for everyone. Can't imagine voting without it


I can fill out my ballot at my leisure, researching measures when I have time. No need to remember anything or make a cheat sheet for election day. And no standing in line.

Just don't try plugging it into a Raspberry Pi 5.

No data loss, but won't work without changing your kernel. The other way around is much worse though


you can use an RPi5 to make a BTRFS drive which essentially only works on RPi5s.

I always prefer it without the dashes. And just add on HHMMSS while we're at it!

I think (?) it's generally true that the root user should never mess with users' files.

Imagine your home directory is shared across many systems on a network (my alma mater did this). It would be really bad if a sysadmin for alpha.university.edu removed a program, and suddenly your personal settings were removed from beta.university.edu


even though that computer still has the program.

This is one of the "UNIX on the desktop" issues


a lot is designed for a sysadmin/multiuser situation, and it has some gotchas when using it as a desktop machine (I'm used to/really appreciate the directory structure and settings management at this point, but it may take some getting used to).
