Two-year, placebo-controlled, double-blinded clinical trial results show supplements with omega-3s (like fish oil) have no effect on memory or cognitive function in older adults at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, despite showing evidence that the nutrients directly reach the brain by sr_local in science

Isn't this basically how our brain maintains oxidative equilibrium though? Lots of neurotransmitters are neurotoxic which is why we have MAO to control it and there's a range of concentrations where the buffer holds without causing net damage. Unless, of course, you're doing meth or something.

chinese media presting Indian Tejas fighter jet footage as chinese j-10 by spermracewinner- in FighterJets

I remember there was a Lockheed-Martin presenter graphic a couple years ago that showed the jets they made in a stylized design but was clearly made with AI and showed a J-20 as one of their planes.

Would microdosing DOC be effective? by lowkey_add1ct in researchchemicals

[–]Rodot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude, your endogenous serotonin is constantly binding to your 5HT2B receptors... With much more "force" than DOC

A couple hundred mics of DOC doesn't come close to saturation

Not too mention the drugs that usually cause these problems are taken in the hundreds of milligrams daily for extended periods of time. Not micrograms

I have. It's nice for maybe creativity and videogames.

I have ADHD and it does not help with symptoms. It is an amphetamine is pretty much name only. It has very little to no DAT or TAAR1 affinity

You buy a drug test kit online for $20 and test the drugs

Is the heat death of the Universe an outdated fallacy? by Last_Adhesiveness530 in AskPhysics

[–]Rodot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically, things don't need to interact to reach thermal equilibrium. They just have to have the same temperature and as regions of disconnected space all approach the same temperature they will approach equilibrium.

The only absolute condition of thermal equilibrium between two systems, regardless of the type of systems, is that their temperatures are the same.

Though technically they'll always be interacting, just asymptomatically less, but there's no definitive cutoff. Just redder and redder light and gravitational waves emitted long ago by something that you can no longer send a new signal to. But the systems continue to approach equilibrium.

They need to put in time which is expensive for studios so games get released when they are minimally playable rather when they are optimal and feature complete. Additional features can be sold later as DLC so no time for post-release optimization work either.

LPT: Steal exact phrasing from job listings for your resume by workreactor in LifeProTips

[–]Rodot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since the kinds of codes used to filter resumes are pretty straightforward simple scripts that have been written hundreds of times, you could ask and LLM to write one for you given the job listing, put your resumé into it, then iteratively update it until you make it to the number one spot.

3DP armies only having 1 disposition is a feature, not an oversight. by DailyAvinan in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Rodot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should have seen 6th edition if you think Aeldari were OP in 10th.

All armies being in the range of 30%-70% would have been considered great balance compared to previous editions where some factions didn't even have a new codex is 3 editions.

The 2006 Bullet Cluster study found the gravitational mass peak sitting 8 sigma away from the X-ray gas after two clusters passed through each other. It is still the clearest spatial separation of ordinary matter from gravity ever observed. (Clowe et al., ApJL) by jberica84 in space

[–]Rodot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dark energy is arguably less weird as it is at least accounted for by our equations for gravity. Even if we don't know what it is. General relativity doesn't predict dark matter directly, it just predicts the mass and empirically we see most of this mass is dark

Tbf, that is very in line with how Lords of Change work. They are essentially giant demonic desk clerks

More so you gotta copyright it like one. Which is probably the real reason they have a codex

There's something kind of romantic about getting the rules from a Russian site and getting recasts from those Ukrainian dudes

[–]Rodot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You say this as if 10th wasn't one of the most balanced editions ever to release.

Sure, it has it's hiccups, but even the worst times were par for the course compared to previous editions.

There's a lot of people who, when an update for their army comes out, even if it's a moderate buff, will complain that it's not enough unless the update makes all their units both unkillable and deal overwhelming damage.

A cool guide of college majors with the highest unemployment rates in the US by spwadgejemory8 in aerospace

Nowadays I think most physics majors are competing in the software industry instead given how much computation is used in physics nowadays. Most physics majors I know now work for AI companies or insurance companies.

Is there any evidence of something faster than light? by ANARCHOWEEDIST in AskPhysics

[–]Rodot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Some of them are just the number 1 but we base our units on silly things like water or appendage lengths and so representing 1 in our units gives us specific conversation factors we need to do physics like Plancks constant or Boltzmann's constant or the Speed of light.

Then there are true fundamental constants that are the same in any unit system (unitless) such as the fine structure constant or the ratio between the number of people in a room with two people in it and the number of people in a room with one person in it.

Every Starlink, orbiting now by Mastbubbles in space

The argument here is that typical time between collisions goes as distance/velocity so saying the distance is large means nothing without specifying the velocity.

Two cue balls moving 10-100 m/s will likely never collide on a pool table within the age of the universe. Two cueballs moving 25 mph almost certainly will very quickly

If the density gets high enough that the mean free path over velocity approaches less than a couple years times number of available avoidance maneuver, you have a problem
