It looks like it. I use gain ones and if I do a cold wash cycle less than 40 (or so) minutes, the casing doesn’t always get fully dissolved.

That’s pretty much a swamp cooler

Towels (or other clothes) can stick to the drum and as you pull them out, the balance of the drum shifts and can cause it to spin. If you are grabbing something in a fuller load, your hand/wrist can become entangled and rotate with the drum.

Front-load washers should have a brake for the drum that prevents it from rotating while digging out clothes. Last thing I want is twisted/sprained wrist while peeling towels off the walls of the drum.

I’ve seen at least a couple times a similar trick but with payment req websites like cash app or venmo. Everything looks legit, but if you were to look closely at the url they want you to click, it is almost always routed through a server under the phisher’s control.

They may have the ‘official’ url in the link, but there’s a good chance they might be piped/redirected through a malicious server under the spammer’s control to log your keystrokes.

BS. The client was Escher.

I’ve sorta built the habit of just blurting out the piece of the puzzle that is missing. It usually brings about a bit of confusion and curiosity to them to make them receptive to listening or turning around and see where you are pointing.

Huh? What was that?

You can see the wheels turning

Well from the shape, it is indeed a capacitor (cap, for short).

From a quick perusal of different forums, there are three possibilities with the third being most likely.

1. People are thinking that it may be to quell the ripple after converting from AC voltage to DC. This could be possible, but there should be banks of them for that exact purpose in the actual PSU case.

2. Another one is that it would provide some level of EMI filtering. Using that type of cap wouldn’t do much (not fast enough) and are however much better methods of achieving this.

3. As this is a 6+2 pin cable, it’s likely intended for a GPU. Odds are that it is intended to try to soften/eliminate a power drop/surge when the GPU’s draw spikes during a graphics heavy process, such as gaming or computing a CAD model.

Depending on the specs of your system and PSU wattage, the cap may be overkill and unnecessary. Without knowing what is in your system, I wouldn’t feel comfortable with telling you to remove it though.

A relatively safe bet however, since you are already de-pinning the cable for sleeving, is to have the end with the cap at the PSU side, hidden in that bundle of wires. Another option would also be to use two lengths of sleeving per wire and have them meet at the cap.

Removing the split shouldn’t be an issue as long as you cut it as close to where it’s crimped as possible to prevent shorting along with the caveat of it not being available if it would be needed for a upgrade.

Can I ask what even is the point of asking?

Summary

When meals are eaten, in relation to the time of day, is increasingly considered of importance when implementing dietary change in order to address the growing burden of obesity, although further research is required in order to determine optimal patterns.

That study is more focused on weight gain and not really about the effect on sleep. Sleep is mentioned, but in reference as a co-contributer.

I’ve done OMAD (eat at night) for close to 15 years and have always been on the lower end of my BMI ratio and other than walking between buildings at work, no real exercise. To gain any weight, I would have to eat 4,500-5,000kcal/day. My sleep has also always been the same throughout my life regardless of eating style. (it may have even improved with my eating style)

I’d be interested in the Mooltipass, but they’ve been out of stock for over a year, saying they’re working towards a new unit. Last update I saw was about a month or two ago, saying they were ‘close’…

So cats and caterpillars really are related.

You’ll also likely need to pee more (like every 20-30min) despite not really drinking water in between restroom trips.

In summary, mice were intragastrically administered with CAP at three doses to evaluate the effects of CAP on GI health. The results showed that administration of 40 mg/kg CAP did not have significant negative effects on the GI tract in mice, while 60 and 80 mg/kg CAP caused GI injury by damaging GI tissues and decreasing the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10). Inflammation and histopathological changes were significant in the jejunum, ileum, and colon, but only slight in the stomach. CAP increased serum SP and CGRP levels in a dose-dependent manner, which may induce an immune response and visceral pain. The levels of cecal SCFAs also significantly changed in the 80 mg/kg CAP-treated groups. These effects of CAP might be related to the regulation of gut microbiota, especially Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Faecalibacterium, and Butyricimonas. Moreover, the underlying mechanism of the correlation between serum neuropeptides and specific gut microbiota needs to be studied, suggesting that probiotics, as members of the gut microbiota, may be an alternative in relieving CAP-induced GI injury. These data will reveal the effects of CAP on GI health, provide insight into the experimental model of CAP-induced GI injury, and enrich the correlation analysis between CAP ingestion and gut microbiota.

It looks like it’s still being studied. For now, I guess you can resolve it to being an irritant when ingested in larger quantities than your body likes.
