Strongly suggesting the placebo fooled their body into releasing it’s own endogenous opiates.

I don’t get it. Why would they assume that? You’re given a placebo pain reliever and it relieves pain. Then you’re given a nalaxone, which you, the patient, knows blocks opioids. In both cases, it could just be the placebo effect. You could be given water and told it’s nalaxone, and it could have the same effect.

Were they not told they were being given nalaxone? Were there four cohorts? Were some of the people who got placebo painkillers also given placebo nalaxone where it didn’t block the pain relief?

I can’t read the paywalled article.

When women succeed in sports, they get accused of being a man in disguise instead of being praised as being gifted like Michael Phelps is.

But deodorant for women is pH balanced for women! The commercials told me so!

It suddenly works for me too. When I said it didn’t work on the website, I was looking at OP’s instance web page, not my instance.

This doesn’t happen to me either. Pixel 7 Pro. The Android top bar is always visible.

Looks like the image got deleted. I don’t see it in Thunder, and I don’t see it on the website either.

Works now. 🤷‍♂️

It’s going to be 7 gigabytes.

They? You mean the A.I. that made this? You think they ever gave shits?

Don’t forget to dot your i’s and dot your t’s!

“Demon”

It was always “demon” (spelled daemon or dæmon), as in a spiritual attendant. Christian mythology has poisoned the word, and anyone who says “daymon” to not offend them is a coward.

Edit: When I say it was always pronounced “demon”, I mean the nerds who started calling a small background program daemon pronounced it “demon”.

For those who have no idea what this is (like me 5 minutes ago).

Sega teamed up with Nintendo to develop a GameCube-based arcade platform. Bolstering their ranks was Namco, another coin-op stalwart with tons of arcade veterans.

Three companies, one mission: Triforce.

The Triforce hardware is built around a stock GameCube motherboard, with two Triforce-specific boards attached to it: the AM-Baseboard and AM-Mediaboard.

As of Dolphin 2512-395, Triforce support is here!

The article is very long and contains a lot of history and stuff.

Alt-double-click to open Properties on a file is straight out of Windows. It’s something I really missed!

NES Tetris Music C.

End of story. That settles it. Case closed. No exceptions. That’s final. Consider it settled. It’s non-negotiable. End of discussion. That’s the final word. Nothing more to add. Enough said.

Maybe new super heavy elements could do cool stuff if they didn’t decay within microseconds. When trying to design ways to make them, you don’t want to waste your time making ones that aren’t going to be stable, hence the need to predict that.

Impedence is the combination of resistance (ordinary resistance to current) and reactance which is resistance specific to alternating current which comes from the capacitors and coils in the equipment. Even a squiggly circuit trace can create reactance. So, impedence is resistance.

Whatch this short for a clear explanation:

From what I’ve read, and from talking to a guy who own a music studio near me, impedance mismatch is a real thing in audio equipment. At best, it’ll lower the sound level causing you to have to crank up the volume, which just puts more strain on your equipment. Worse, it can cause crackling from waveform peaking. At the very worst, it can damage equipment.

Brushing it off just because the guy doesn’t know the wavelength of audio signals is a dick move. No wonder he stopped talking to you. I bet you, yourself, know a lot of things, a lot of true things, that you can’t explain to the utmost detail.

“You say quarks are combined with the strong force to make protons, huh? Well, what’s the binding force between an up and down quark? Oh, you don’t know? Curious.”

Oh, I see it now. My bad. I missed him specifically showing that early in the video and later it looked like his left thumb was being used instead, but it’s not.

I even remember looking at my own Steam Deck to see the icon on the “select” button, and it didn’t ring a bell being called the quick access button. (Because it’s not.)

In addition, I mixed up my looking at the button with him zooming in on that button in the video. I would have sworn he did that, and I was about to go take a screenshot of it, but he didn’t. Stupid brain. [In my defense, it turns out I have a fever. 🤧]

Battery Storage Mode

This Steam page says you enter battery storage mode through the BIOS. It doesn’t mention there being an additional hotkey for it. Where did you read that that’s what this key combination does?

Make sure you film the whole process!

It worked for him. 🤷‍♂️

It’s not the “…” button. It’s the, uh, whatever, the “Select” button.
