Substituting Salt for MSG for Blood Pressure?

From my understanding much of the hate against MSG is misplaced in the West. It's either got a bad repuation because it's linked to proccessed foods or even worse, just straight racisim.

I've found out I've got Stage 1 Hypertension and am going through titration for ADHD meds. If my blood pressure rises, then the titration will stop, so I keen to make sure this doesn't happen and ideally lower it. I'm not really drinking as part of titration and am paying more attention to exercise. I'm overweight (but not obese) and am trying to loose weight, the meds make that a little easier.

I'm also trying to heavily reduce my salt, I like to cook and have also seasoned food well, so it's a bit of the shock to the system. I already use a little bit of MSG in food, but not much as my partner isn't keen. Are there good reasons I shouldn't sprinkle it directly on my food as my palate adjusts and find other ways to boost flavours (I already use a lot of herbs and spices).

Edit. I do know that MSG contains sodium, but it's one third of the amount of table salt.

How do you decide how much liquid to reconstitute with?

Sorry, as this must be so obvious once you've done it, but I've watched YouTube videos, searched and asked AI (which didn't really want to answer). I've been looking at how much liquid would be used with 5mg of Mazdutide to make 2.5mg doses? What I don't know is I've no experience is how much liquid do subjects typically inject at once?

The insulin syringes that I've seen mentioned go to 0.5ml, so I would assume no more than that? I've found calculators that help you work out how much water to mix, I can do the maths. I'm just not sure what I should be aiming for.

1ml of BAC with a 5mg vile would give two 0.5ml doses. Does that sound correct?

Do you have a name for full on mental tiredness?

I think this is an ADHD thing. Do you have a name for when you are totally and utterly mentally tired?

For me, it's a state I often enter after a busy day at work, where I've been really focused all day or even worse had my attention pulled between many things. Although I can also get to a state where I fail to do anything, and I seem to have spent most of the day "fighting" it.

I used to think of it as burnout, but now I wonder if that term is better reserved for when I keep doing the above day after day and stop practicing the self-care I need, like going to the gym in the morning or eating decent food.

And when you do get it, what techniques do you have to combat it? I'm so bad at relaxing, and when I feel like this, what I really want to do is get drunk. Weirdly when I have a few beers, I come back to life and get on with the jobs that felt beyond me, like cooking an evening meal. Which makes me think it's dopamine-related. I have grand ideas of things that I should do instead, but if I'm honest, when I feel like this and don't drink, then I just end up doomscrolling. I can't even focus on watching a film.

Are SMART meetings always so unstructured?

I wrote a few essays and deleted them, so I'm going to try and keep this one short. I'm struggling a bit to break out my currently cycle and decided that I need to do things differently.

I've been to a local SMART meeting and an online one (UK). The people in the local one and the challenges they faced were very different (I live in a quite deprived area), but the one thing that was very similar is just how much of the meeting was people checking in, with very little time spent on tools/practical steps. It was a real struggle not to mentally check out when people were talking online (maybe the ADHD, I struggle with online training as well)

I've downloaded the SMART handbook and have downloaded all the worksheets I can find and have made a vault in Obsidian where I put everything. I've started journalling. What I've not managed to do is have 48 hours sober, but I will get there.

I'm going to another online one tonight, and I'm wondering if this is normal? That the majority of a meeting is just people checking in. I guess I'd hoped they would be more based around a tool and then people would contribute their experiences.

Adding a second layer of copper and stainless?

I'm trying to increase the amount of current I can draw from my packs for FPV. Can I add a second layer of copper and stainless steel on top of the first one? For example, if I built the pack using 0.2 mm copper and 0.15 mm stainless, could I then add another 0.2 mm copper and 0.15 mm stainless layer? I'm using an AWithZ UF20B.

I'll be building my first 6s2p packs soon using Reliance RS50 21700 cells, so the cells should be able to deliver a decent current and I assume the welds are the limiting factor? I'm not expecting this to perform like a solid 0.4 mm copper, but would it still allow the packs to handle more current?

I'm also thinking of going over some of the packs I made with thinner copper before I had this welder.

A fine amount of food

Doner, Shawarma and Kobeda. Salad and sauce served separately, which the only way for a takeaway.

Ashton Grill in Tameside. I'll be back, but despite what sub I'm on, I'd skip the doner next time as it was generic. Maybe some kind of tikka as well?

M365 Moving from Basic Authentication - Is PowerShell really the only way to do SMTP OAUTH?

I'm scratching my head here wondering what I'm missing. I've been tasked with moving all the applications we use away from Basic Authentication.

When the application can use Graph, well it took me a little bit of time, but I understand the process now, register an app, give the appropriate API permission and then generate a client secret or ideally upload a certificate.

However, it looks like a number of our vendors prefer to use SMTP AUTH with OAuth 2.0, probably because it's easier to implement into existing software.

Edit for Clarity. Is the only way to do this is via PowerShell in addition to App Registration in Entra? I've registered the app as a service principal in exchange and granted it mailbox permissions via PowerShell, which has worked, but seems over complex.

Toll Booths

Picked up a car yesterday and had fun with the toll booths around Naples. First one we made a mistake, it was a human, but they didn't take card. Luckily had a few Euros. Thats on me for picking the wrong one.

The next time it was an automatic one which took card, but it kept spitting it back out again. Tried another card and it was the same. The screen was really scratched so I could barely see it, but I don't speak Italian anyway. Eventually a human voice came on, but I couldn't understand and eventually a ticket came out which I belive means we have to pay it later. Luckily it was quiet and there was nobody behind us.

Silly question, but why might the machine not take our cards? Tried UK debit and credit cards, one Mastercard, the other Visa.

Android Kiosk - Prevent Device Wiping after Incorrect PIN

We're configuring Android tablets to be used is community settings. They are just used to run Teams from a shared account.

In the past we've had issues with the pin being entered incorrectly to many times, and the device resetting and people then setting up with a personal google account and using them for none work apps. Setting them up as a kiosk I've blocked the ability for users to reset the device, but the maximum incorrect PIN before it get's wiped is 11.

Has anyone found how to avoid this?

FPV Holiday - A battery dilemma

I'm travelling to Italy this summer via train from the UK. It will be the first time I've flown FPV abroad, and I'm psyched. However, the thought of batteries is stressing me out. I'm taking my 3.5" and in an ideal world I'd take 4 LiPo for blasting and 4 Li-Ion homemade for longer exploring.

Although it's a train journey, I still have to clear customs and have my bags scanned and I'm not sure what they'd make of my homemade batteries. I've looked on the website and tbf the only batteries they mention are e-bike ones carried separate to the bike.

The LiPo's I have concerns about when I get there, travelling in general, but specifically being in a hot car as we drive between places when we stop.

Has anyone faced either of these issues and how do you do deal with them?
