No one’s freaking out, just don’t eat too much. Many, many packaged things have a bunch of salt in them. And in general, it’s good to be aware of.
Salt requirements obviously vary from person to person and depend on your activity that day (losing it to sweat) etc.
You’re not gonna die from a bit too much salt every now and then.
But as all things: In moderation.
Just because the situation with fat was stupid (and, in my opinion, was because of marketing by vested interests to take the heat of sugar) doesn’t mean all health science is quackery.
“Too much salt is bad for you” isn’t a radical take.

I might make a big dish of lasagne, maybe the meat has 3 or 4 teaspoons of salt,
Seems fine to me. That’s about 4 daily doses of salt, depending how many servings that is, probably totally fine. This isn’t medical advice haha
In any case, at least you’re having something delicious 😁

Of course, unless you’re being terribly precise, you don’t know very accurately.
Though, with the exception of pasta water, you can keep track via number of teaspoons as an approximation, or if you have precise scales tare off your container to see how much you’re using.
Packaged foods are much easier.
I personally just try to keep it minimal while keeping the food taste nice. I don’t measure my salt.
I’m not saying change your habits, just be aware that excessive salt can he unhealthy!

This is probably a joke, but do try to limit your salt intake to something healthy: www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/…/salt
- Comment on Disney sells us imaginary heroes while supporting real world villains. 3 weeks ago:
I have never understood the appeal of marvel universe movies. It just always came across as bad world building.
The whole reason super heroes with secret identities works is they are unique, and not a fundamental change to society.
Having a world that’s basically the same, with truck loads of super heroes makes no sense at all.
I have seen only a handful of these movies.

People who go on holiday to the USA have something wrong in their brains.
The landscapes, food and historical locations would be cool to see, but man, it’s bloody dystopian.

I’ll never forgive the French for going from grave to gram to kg as the base unit of mass.
All my other base units don’t have a prefix :(
Such a pity.

If it makes you feel any better, most pipe standards around the world are based on the American system, as well as bloody valve coefficients.
I am far too aware that 1" is 25.4 mm :(
And I’m in Australia. Grumble

Me when some projects I’ve been on decide to use bar as the preferred unit with two decimal places typically shown: My sibling in engineering, at that point why not just use whole number kPa 😢
SI master race.
Of course I’ll take bar any day over anything non-metric.
* Cries in practically all valve manufacturers using imperial valve coefficients. 😭😭😭 *

- Comment on Instagram Caught Hiding Posts That Say "Immigrants Make the Country Great" 1 month ago:
Yeah I’m the same (not really into that type of posting).
I basically want what Facebook once was, but with e2ee. Something like: you make a post, only people you’ve added can see it. They can comment, and if they choose, your friends can see that comment also.
Something to prevent mass scraping and data collection, while retaining the ‘keeping up with old aquitances’ vibe old Facebook used to have.

I really wish we had an end-to-end encrypted option where posts are only shared and accessible to people you’ve added. Some of us don’t wish to post our personal photos to everyone on the internet.

- Comment on The 2025 version of "Please consider this environment before printing this email" should be "Please consider this environment before using A.I. to respond to this email" 2 months ago:
WHO IS USING AI TO RESPOND TO EMAILS? Like, by the time to “craft” the ultimate response, you could have just written the email.
This may be my bias as an engineer (not software, but chemical), there’s not really much faffing about in an email. You just politely respond, or politely make a query. It’s not very long, typically, and even if it is, an LLM isn’t gonna help you.
You don’t have to sugar coat anything unless there’s some fuck up you’re trying to soften. You just go “Hi xyz, could you please clarify when the design temperature is changing here?”.
Wtf is there you can use an LLM for in an email?
I have only used it for software troubleshooting, as it’s quite nifty there, even if it’s information is out of date, it gets versions confused, etc, still gets me out of a bind or spits out random ideas to try.
But emails? Those short form messages, just barely longer than texts?
Are we actually serious? It’s not a report

We really need some consumer protections around emails.
Imagine if your landlord could just intercept your mail on the same way.
It’s part of our identities.
