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 had to stop eating ramen. I tried my hardest, but I could not for the life of me find a whole grain ramen that was affordable (the whole point of eating ramen). So instead I use whole grain spaghetti noodles and veggie broth. I miss the squigglies. 🥺
I have learned that even whole grain noodles can be microwaved though, so that's cool. Works a lot better for penne, cause spaghetti noodles tend to clump together more.
Bigger picture, pasteurized milk is not fine. You need a system of animal agriculture infrastructure to make that happen, and that system is why we're in this mess in the first place.
You can't kill Wikipedia. MediaWiki is free software. If hosting in the US proves to be too hostile, the foundation can either pack up and host elsewhere, and even if they don't, anyone else can easily host their own Wikipedia as well.
On my laptop I switched from Debian to Fedora and that had a distinct impact on gaming performance, though I think it had more to do with how I had it set up previously. For instance I used full disk encryption for Debian, but skipped that on Fedora, because it does seem to impact games noticeably.
But it also might be because Fedora is more bleeding edge, so the OS itself might actually play a role here.
On my desktop I've been running Bazzite and that's been pretty great so far.
The tariff situation makes it a bad idea to release or even announce new hardware right now. What they should do is finish Steam OS so they can officially release it for all platforms.
I prefer the symmetrical sticks, calling it outdated is just cult of inevitable progress vibes. Also the touchpad is hardly a gimmick when we're talking about PC as a gaming platform. If anything a touchpad should become standard on all controllers.
My biggest complaints with the dualsense controller is that the shape of it starts to feel uncomfortable after long game sessions, the ds4 was better. Also the dpad sucks.
