Msg is so good. Try it in your stock. Its like different salt. So good.
Msg is naturally occurs in most protein rich foods. While extremely important for our bodies, our tongues actually don’t detect protein directly, but the msg that occurs with it. That’s why your brain goes “ooooo yummy!” but in a different way from salt.
Steps down from soap box
Anywho.
MSG also forms when glutamic acid meets tablesalt. That’s why tomatoes or beef with a tiny bit of salt are so damned tasty, they’re full of glutamic acid. Same with cheese (which is usually pre-salted for that lovely MSG-flavour).
Tomatoes and beef already contain MSG naturally, but adding a few grains of salt produces far more.
Edit: This is why walnut oil is amaaaaazing for savory flavours. It’s full of glutamate. Just like grape juice, or shi-take. Even potatoes to a lesser extend. And this is why we love combing all those foods for “winter foods” with game and in stews.

Woaaah, I didn’t know that! New info, thanks stranger 😁
If you like parmesan cheese, you like msg
It’s also already in like everything we eat.
Magic yummy powder.
I’ll say this for GIMP: it is a well-named piece of software. I do appreciate honesty. And I hate GIMP.
This whole thing is cancer… What’s wrong with fluoride?
He said fluoridation was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, fluoridation is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
On no account will a Commie ever drink water and not without good reason.
Nor is there anything wrong with MSG or prozac
I mean, I definitely don’t consider prozac part of a meal.
Common side effects include loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, headache, trouble sleeping, dry mouth, and sexual dysfunction. Serious side effects include serotonin syndrome, mania, seizures, an increased risk of suicidal behavior, and an increased risk of bleeding.
All medicines can have negative side effects on certain people. I don’t recommend abandoning all modern medicine.
Literally every drug claims to have side effects and virtually no one ever experiences them because it only affects 0.01% of the population. And then they just have a slightly different alternative and now fine.
Yeah, I think that one’s just FUD, because fluoride is added to the water by the US government.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fluoridation_in_the_United_States
Fluoride in the water to dumb the masses is part of their conspiracy theory. They call it the fluoride stare and think you shouldn’t drink tap water.
I just can’t imagine being so simple minded that I would ignore actual science, and instead equate ingesting fluoride with a way they’ve seen people stare? It’s just so insanely stupid, all of it.
Its not hard for people to believe, the lead stare exists. Scientists have lied on behalf of tobacco and fossil fuel lobbies. Its got all the soil for a believable conspiracy theory to grow.
And independents scientists called them out. I haven’t heard anyone trying to claim that fluorine is dangerous.
There is a very big difference, that they don’t understand, between “a scientist said” and “scientific consensus”. This (sometimes purposeful) misunderstanding comes from their fundamental refusal to understand what science actually is.
In all fairness…GIMP cannot do that.
Of all the FOSS software I’ve used, GIMP is by far the furthest behind the commercial competitor. Adobe sucks ass in a lot of ways, but Photoshop and Lightroom are amazing products.
I do prefer Inkscape to Illustrator in a lot of cases. Especially with SVG support. Illustrator actually kinda sucks at importing SVG files.
Krita.
Everyone screams at me when I say this, " Krita is for tablet artistry REEE!!! ", but Krita is basically PhotoShop from before Adobe went hardcore into ‘everything is a subscription’, roughly 10-15 years ago.
grumbles about macromedia suite and newgrounds and homestar runner and xiaoxiao stick fighter and fucking kids these days
Perhaps I’m pedestrian when it comes to image editing, but idk what it is that Gimp can’t do that’s regularly needed. Aside, of course, from AI features that draw for you.
[Cries in CAD]
True enough.
I’m spoiled in GIS with QGIS. I’ve been using it professionally for years.
I use Photoshop for work, and I keep GIMP installed as a conversion tool because for some reason Photoshop is an absolute wimp when it comes to opening downloaded PNG or WEBP images. About 1/4 of the time I get “Not a PNG” or “Can’t open image due to a programme error.” Clicking the Help option in the error dialogue takes me to Adobe’s help page about saving images, not opening them.
GIMP has effortlessly opened every single image I’ve thrown at it. After exporting from GIMP, suddenly Photoshop works. Bad look for the industry standard image editing programme.
I do like InDesign tho

Watch out for those chemtrails!
I think this is relevant to the topic. I don’t think it violates any copyright “ToS”–New to the site, as it was Linus himself that posted it. I’ll share it. He talks about why he pays Adobe 10k+k USD a year.
From what I remember, that boiled down to ‘it is more important to consistently pump out lots of content instead of letting staff learn and use something new’ which… I don’t have a very good opinion of him but that’s another oof.
Posting a YouTube video never violates copyright lol
