Without calibration, it's hard to say if that's what your line is. But it would be good to rule it out as a first step because it's just so common. | |
| Apr 4 at 20:11 | comment | added | jmadden | @BowlOfRed mentioned sodium too. Where would sodium be coming from? Sodium does not seem to be an ingredient in matches from what I've been reading. | |
