I don't think that's true. I have a 20+ year old iBook G3 that I keep around to tinker with Mac OS 7-9. The usb slots either don't work, or at least don't support newer usb drives, so it's only a matter of time before I hop over to the Macintosh Garden and start burning discs again.

Unfortunately you're going to have to rewatch every episode of Star Trek you previously watched, but this time use Linux to do it.

The thing I don't get about these self-host apps is why so many of them exist when the thing they do would be better to implement as a run of the mill offline program.

I just want to auto-import recipes from websites into a cookbook app without any fuss. We do not need to bring a server into this equation!

It was in mine, for a while. Like with the salt, the iodine levels in seaweed are generally so high that only a tiny amount is necessary. In some dishes I couldn't taste it at all, and in others it would add a subtle seafood quality to the dish. It's often a key ingredient in mock seafoods.

If you're somebody who is extremely committed to the 'whole' in whole foods, it's the defacto choice. Otherwise it's just nice to have more options.

Even without iodized salt it's easy to get iodine on a plant-based diet, it just comes down to adding a small amount of some kind of seaweed each day, dulse flakes being a good choice.

But iodized salt is simpler, cheaper, more available, so that's usually my default.

What is your thyroid disorder?

Is this a good enough excuse to push iodized salt? Yes it is.

If you're the kind of person who is only using kosher, himalayan, or any other fancy salts, you should really include an iodized variant in your home as well. You only need a small pinch of it per day. Companies started including iodine in their salt for good reason - people were dying of iodine deficiency. Iodine is not easy to get naturally from food, especially if you live in a northern region.

But because there was a fad for those other fancy salts, we're seeing a resurgence of iodine deficiencies and hypothyroidism. Do not skip on the stuff, it's an essential nutrient!

And bonus points for blood pressure health if you opt for potassium-based salt substitutes.

I was happy when usb c came out because it looked like it had to be a significant improvement over micro usb, in terms of longevity and reliability.

It's looking like it's only a slight improvement though, which sucks.

Yeah, the way to make it happen is adding it to my wishlist and waiting for the price to drop to at least $40.

 

Not a tech support question, I'm just curious. I recently installed it. Everything is working great, feels like I got a whole new laptop compared to my previous setup. I haven't tried out any of btrfs's unique features, so I dunno, nothing special I can report about it. Coming from Debian I was just surprized by how different Fedoras installer defaults are. Do you agree with btrfs being a default option?
