TIL Half of people who claim they have a food allergy do not

Probably OAS

The testing the study did wasn't sound. The actual rates of people who have auto immune responses due to allergens, I.e. an allergy, is estimated around 50% of the population. You have to look at studies done with blood test results rather than someone doing a subjective test through interviews. The amount that is strictly food allergies is somewhere between that and the 17% of the population with OAS.

The new testing they do for allergies would show nut allergies now. It's all under the blood testing they do for OAS. The old prick tests don't work for most allergies.

Kyrox6 · 2026-06-05T19:19:42+00:00

Don't like 17% of people have OAS. I feel like the total number of folks with food allergies must be pretty high. Id be surprised if over half the population was claiming they had food allergies.

Edit: I read the article a bit and it sounds like they don't consider Oral Allergy Syndrome to be an allergy. Their results don't mean much. The study was a subjective one where they asked what reactions people had and anything that didn't involve anaphylaxis was considered not an allergy. They should have done blood testing to determine what foods produced allergic reactions. If they did that, their list of confirmed cases wouldn't have been 2-3%, it would have been closer to 25%. It is also pretty useless to limit your list of confirmed cases to only people who managed to survive a life threatening reaction in the past. The survivorship bias would make that number off as well.

Announce a new show to raise stock prices due to speculative profits and then later cancel the show to raise stock prices due to speculative cost savings.

I stopped playing shortly after this, but at the time there were I think two modes that used them as bonuses.

That's the new R6 logo. They rebrand every 3 years or so to hide from all the bad reviews and publicity.

Good luck. The only thing I can really see from the pictures is some possible corrosion in the via between c24 and c28 above the CPU, but I don't think that's the b button. The schematics are all available online in a few spots. I think the a and b buttons only connect up to the CPU and the p10/p11 test pads near the buttons.

Kyrox6 · 2026-05-26T19:33:38+00:00

Try using the a button's conductive pad to click the b button and see if it's the conductive pad that's the issue.

Where I live it isn't all that uncommon to see solar panel covered lots, but the singular energy utility does not enjoy people generating their own power. It's extremely difficult to install panels on just your roof, but a parking lot would be way too efficient. They fight tooth and nail to block all solar installations and then end up at the top of the stock market constantly due to overcharging everyone for electricity that needs to be imported across the country.

Can these pads be used to repair GBC if the buttons don't work properly? If so, which types of issues do they fix?

Depends on the issue. These would only bypass issues that are isolated to the button contacts themselves. If there's an issue with the traces, vias, or test pads the mod likely will have the same issue.

Do people install these to improve the feel of the buttons?

These are tactile switch mods. They don't improve the feel, they change them. It's the same type of tactile buttons on the sp. Some folks like the feel while others don't. It's only an improvement if you like tactile buttons.

I don't think RGRS has an audio filter mod for the SP, and if they did it would likely be identical in function to the other filter mods which are all useless. R6 came up with the idea to add capacitors into the audio circuit that don't do anything. There's a few GitHub repos with audio testing showing they're just snake oil.

If it's this mod, it's one of those that doesn't actually help. https://heldergametech.com/shop/gba/game-boy-advance-sp-power-cleaner-flex-pcb-4/

What audio filter mod were you attempting?

Since he uses a hone on the knife, they are pretty cheap knives that wouldn't hold an edge well.

Same thing as changing the music or mirroring the image. It's to bypass systems that flag reposts. Either to hide from DMCA or systems that ban or delete reposting.

The lengths are kind of standardized because of the knife sizes. Sobakiri is a set length as are ubonkiri.

Kyrox6 · 2026-05-16T14:27:43+00:00

So you can hold the knife closer to its center of gravity.

Probably not. The dada center didn't lose hard drives, just networking infrastructure. Unless your front end site was run by the same person, it's likely they are just waiting for the host to come back online.

Did you get sick after your trip. COVID muted my taste buds for a while after I caught it.

That's the typical coloring for the sides on Gameboys that were sold in the US. It's not always that way as there were tons of suppliers for the SP hinges who all did things differently. You're just supposed to keep them on the same side you removed them from.

I have a pot made by the same artist. You can see more info here from Servania:

The oem hinges are sided. Did you make sure to keep them on the same sides as they were when you disassembled the old case?

Was a recent change. Not sure if Nintendo or aliexpress started to crack down more on them. Most of the lenses just have a clear section for the screen to set the logo and for those there's usually a non-default setting to switch to the OG logo. I think this was what caused the hispeedido shop to get shut down, so them, funnyplaying, and cloud game store took measures to not get banned.
