So, basically, written Irish isn’t so much a language, as, rather, a form of encryption somehow devised by the Irish to prohibit communication?

Phil Bolger was right: whomever devised such spellings, to “represent” Irish speech, deserves some quality-time in hell.

Yeeks.

Obviously, it depends on how one defines science:

IF science is defined partly by declaring that awareness isn’t real, then it has already divorced reality.

Awareness produces effects, like cities, and couldn’t do-so if it weren’t real.

Awareness is immaterial, so physicalism prohibits/contempts it being real, but physicalism must also prohibit/contempt entanglement being real, because it isn’t physical, either.

Etc.

IF one draws the lines so that ALL the phenomena in Universe that cause results get included, THEN yes, science can discover absolute truth about some aspects of Universe.

However, if one draws the lines so that ideology/prejudice decides what is real, then no, nothing can make that work right.

The most important understanding is in Hofstadter’s “Godel Escher Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid”, where he hammers it into one, how self-consistent-formal-systems are mind-blind to ALL outside them.

That is a feature of the things, as Godel’s Theorem of Incompleteness proved.

All who don’t understand that ( & much/most of Western Philosophy rejects it, as “Slight of Mind” is one, of many many many, examples demonstrating ) simply aren’t competent in the Philosophy they’re believing they’re doing.

( seriously: read GEB, then try reading Slight of Mind, which contradicts/ignores/denies GEB, & ask yourself which is truer: the math, or the ideology which rejects the math )

it’d probably be the dryness, as plant-metabolism usually requires water, you know?

Salt-resistant stainless-steel is the 316/316L steels & the 317/317L steels.

( the L versions are low-carbon, which means they can be welded & the low-carbon won’t create carbon-rich defects in the welds )

Salt-resistant aluminum is 5052 aluminum ( low-copper. iirc )

normal cheap aluminum kitchenware is Commercially Pure aluminum, not alloy.

I’ve no idea what percentage of aluminum food-contact things are made with alloys, but it wouldn’t be that much, I don’t think?

Nobody bothers using those salt-safe alloys for making kitchen stuff, because there’s no market-pressure to do-so.

( those stainless steels are costly, & 5052’s used mostly for boats/marine/nautical stuff )

Therefore, using salt in the other alloy bowls/pots/pans does release metals ( including nickel or/and chromium ) into one’s diet or/and ecology.

I won’t add salt to normal “stainless” pots or pans because of that: it can get added after, even-though that’s a harsher taste.
