The difference is that glutamate is produced by our bodies naturally. Alcohol (Ethanol) is not. It is literally poison to every human, which is why the liver takes a lot of damage when removing it from your body.

Babies are also ingesting large amounts of glutamate when being breastfed. Which is why I believe 99.99...% of glutamate "intolerance" / "allergies" are caused by the nocebo-effect.

We should just give Bavaria to the Austrians.

Reminds me of my edgy teenage atheist phase :) Now I don't even want to be associated with atheists, even though I am still non-religious.

Reuters and the Associated Press are probably the most neutral and trustworthy news agencies.

Edit: My bad, they aren't news aggregators, I still highly recommend them, though.

Take a skin-prick allergy test and you"ll have proof.

Blue mold cheese. I thought it would be disgusting, but I loved it.

Btw, are you on the subreddit r/2westerneurope4u ?

"Food allergy symptoms are caused by the interaction between a food allergen and an antibody known as IgE (immunoglobulin E). To diagnose a food allergy, your allergist may use a skin prick test (SPT) to measure the presence of IgE antibodies for the suspect food. SPTs are inexpensive, produce immediate results, and can be performed in the doctor’s office."

Arch Linux, LibreWolf & KeepassXC are the first that come to mind.

You are right. All it took was 10 seconds for me to google. I am an idiot. What is true however is that it is much more dangerous when ingested orally. All my nicotine shots (for ecigs) carry the typical "skull" warning symbol, with the advice to call a doctor if you accidentally swallow some.

I think it makes a difference whether it it is in your lungs temporarily, or constantly interacting with tiny neurons in your brain. I honestly don't know for sure, though, so take this with a grain of salt.

To be fair, I have never been to Bavaria, but the few interactions I had with Bavarians weren't painting a positive picture. I worked in a theme park in northern Germany on the weekends while I was still in school and my friendly "moin." was answered with a "Das heisst servus, Junge!". Maybe they were just drunk, though. So no bad blood to my southern friends. My previous comment should be taken as friendly banter.

True. I guess nicotine is a good example of this. When delivered directly into the bloodstream (via inhalation or a nicotine patch) it is an addictive stimulant. When ingested orally it is poisonous.

Yeah, the difficulty combined with reliance on luck can be frustrating, but it also enables "god runs", in which I always end up accidentally killing myself.

As I said, I am non-religious / an atheist myself. Was raised christian, but my parents were cool with me being an atheist, later becoming non-religious themselves. What I was mainly referring to are the people actively trying to make fun of - or belittling - religious people. Edit: I am all for criticizing and making fun of organized religion.

I am not tech savvy enough to give any more advice than this, but "wss://127.0.0.1:5939/" is a local address with the protocol WebSocket. I couldn't find a solution, but here is someone who seems to have the same problem: https://old.reddit.com/...

I have also used MSG to reduce both fat and salt in the meals I cook. A big reason I asked this question is that I wanted to know if there is a legitimate reason I should tell people that the food I cooked for them contains glutamate. Because the reaction is often similar to your sisters. And guess what, if I don't tell them, nobody is experiencing any form of side effects.

When I went on a torrenting spree, I trusted Mullvad enough to pay with my real name PayPal account.
