Did you get what was going on without sound?

Cheers. Wanders off as micro or nano-planets then.

Could planets not wander off if their star goes supernova?

My comments have been wrt to placebos as a whole. WRT to analgesics, placebos and self-suggestion can be quite effective. I've done it with small, hard sweets and pretended it was triple-strength Ibuprofen.

We are all independent thinkers and will disagree and agree with equal commitment, according to our personal convictions and knowledge. i don't know why you find it so difficult to understand the function of a placebo.

A placebo does nothing, nada, zilch. Why buy them from Holland when you can just go to a shop and buy a pill-like sweet and then call it a placebo. The intended function of a placebo is that it has no chemically-active ingredients; they are used to try and discriminate psychsomatic effects from any actual physical effects caused by the substance under study.

No volume control? I never heard a word since I was not wearing my hearing aid but there was plenty of visual and textual nformation, rendering hearing unnecessary. Excellent Zapatos.

It's all that's left at the bottom of barrel.

Nope. You need to look beyond your nose:

The problem is that they'll re-domicile to a more tax-friendly country.

I frequent a pharmaceutical news site and I think this is the case. With each passing year, as the easier conditions find cures, the harder ones come to the fore in the news and the difference in the results between placebo and the tested drugs gets smaller over time due to their increasing lack of efficacy in trials. The drug companies are having to go back to the drawing board a lot more often now.

Yes. I've forgotten alot of this subject as it was decades ago when I was looking into it but if you don't have an inner language your learning and social interactions disable you profoundly and durably, that's why some very deaf-from-birth people come across as a bit mentally-handicapped: their disability made them that way, not that there was anything initially wrong with their brain.

I think you want 316L steel as it contains molydenum - 304 doesn't - which makes it more chloride-resistant and used in marine applications; your sweat contains salts which may contribute to your problems whilst working on it and future handling. It's more ductile which would make it more amenable to polishing by making the surface layer more spreadable, I think, and it is inherently less susceptible to pitting. Reading both links will give you an overview of general properties. Edit: 316L contains more molybdenum than 316 but even the latter should be better for your purposes than 304. The latter link lists the grades lower down the page. Edit: If you want to get really anal about the final polishing then jewellers use cerium oxide and jeweller's rouge (iron III oxide). The former can be used to polish glass and remove scratches from it but rouge is very fine and quite economically priced. i have no experience with cerium oxide but use rouge to remove fine scratches from plastic and metal.

What about making the solution very hot or just boiled and putting it in pre- warmed metal, or other rigid air-tight containers, then put the tops on as this will create a low pressure atmosphere within them and hostile to bugs as well as knocking out any micro-organisms from heating it up before filling. That's how canning works.

I see what you mean: chess reinforces memory

They've become neuroplastically-enabled to play automatically, or intuitively, through long experience..

Thanks but you seem to be contradicting yourself. You can't remember every game without having a great memory. How do you know it didn't come from that? I agree understanding facillitates memory in terms of what you are capable of but to rote remember is a different quality.

Would you say if you had a prodigious memory you would be really good but because you would instant access to past games, regarding what might work in a particular situation during a game? I knew a really good chessplayer at school but he was in the lower groupings in terms of achievement and I'm wondering if having great memory was the decisive factor regarding his ability. This kid demolished his peers from other schools in 10 minutes, if that.

Exactly, some is not none.

Yes. It's also a good means of identifying narcissists as an unintended by-product.

They are probably only really useful in measuring subjects who are challenged cognitively in some way, relative to a base-line of what is considered adequate in specific mental tasks, and this gives specialists an indication of what is required to assist such a person.

Will do. I think I've had it pop up four times in the last week and never on any other site. I thought it was maybe just my PC given I'm the only one mentioning. it. I can handle it, it's just an annoyance.

Practice makes perfect.

When used by laymen, IQ tests measure your ability to do IQ tests. They need to be tailored and overseen by someone conversant in what areas they are measuring and can interpret the results correctly.

The first Google page. Outsourcing mental processing might be at the cost of reducing neuroplasticity over time due to it requiring less effort to find information and not retaining it, or needing to, internally so much due to its easy accessibility from external.sources; instead of racking your brain just ask Google. I'm going on the use-it-or-lose-it idea.
