I'm trying to find a more convenient way to use the emulated portal feature on dolphin/cemu. Is there any way to use it without a second monitor/switching tabs?

For example say an app that connects to the emulator and displays on your phone? Honestly anything that doesn't take focus from the game window would be excellent.

Thank you for the ideas and help!

When two scary character actors and a baby threaten a newly-formed coalition of planets, Trip and T’Pol go undercover to learn more about Terra Prime. But after Mayweather’s love interest turns out to be a honeypot, the mining colony launches and Paxton broadcasts his demands for racial purity on Earth. Where is Trip currently on the xenophobia spectrum? Who was on the bucket list for LeVar Burton? What’s a good strategy for staying in the game? It’s the episode with another Star Trek hair prop.

cross-posted from: https://feddit.online/c/ecology/p/1511552/playing-sea-soundscapes-can-summon-thousands-of-baby-oysters-and-help-regrow-oyster-ree

In our new research published in the Journal of Applied Ecology, we amplified the natural sounds of the sea through underwater speakers. We were testing if sound cues would draw baby oysters to swim to the locations where we are trying to regrow oyster reefs. It worked better than we'd hoped. Many thousands more larvae swam to our locations than control areas and settled on the bare rocks.

Föri ei kuitenkaan pääse liikennöimään joen yli, sillä jää on liian paksua. Pekanheimo muistuttaa myös, että kevätaurinko heikentää jään kantavuutta nopeasti, eikä Aurajoen jäällä ole enää turvallista kävellä

Eli jos Föri ja jääsilta on poissa käytöstä niin kannattaa kävellessä varautua sellaiseen ~20 minuutin (1.4km) kiertoreittiin Martinsillan kautta jos täytyy päästä Förin kohdalta toiselle puolelle.

Mitään vaihtoehtoa tuossa ei mainita nyt kun sekä jääsilta ja föri poissa käytöstä.

Hey les ptits loups !

Alors, qu’est-ce que vous prévoyez cette semaine pour faire chauffer ces petits muscles et faire pomper ce petit cœur ?

Souvenez-vous, aucun effort est trop petit, aucune motivation est trop faible. Même le plus petit des objectifs est un grand pas vers une meilleure forme.

Et une petite photo de l’exploit ou de l’environnement dans lequel vous avez réalisé votre activité est toujours appréciée !

Bonne semaine !

Hey, i just wanted to take a moment to address something minor that's causing my browsing experience on summit to be a bit inconsistent.

When clicking on a post with a picture that also has a banner, the banner always takes a second to load in. This load in time often causes me to long press the picture by mistake (thus bringing up the long press menu) while attempting to scroll the page to get to the comments section.

Produced "Topez" toe-Pez

This was a farel orange girl we brought in with the idea that we would tame her for adoption or she would become a barn cat. She had been through multiple fosters but her habit of destroying human flesh made us her last possible home.

It took a long time for her to chill even a little. Including a few months in my wife's bedroom by herself.

She has, despite her age, the cutest little kitten face. In the morning she will get on my wife's shoulder while my wife lets the ducks. geese and chickens out. She is free to come and go as she pleases (both my wife and Topaz) and after letting the birds out she will come and cuddle up with my wife as she drinks her coffee. Most of the time Topaz will end up upside down demanding belly rubs.

--

You may have noticed that we have a surplus of orange girls. Only about 20% of orange cats are girls. Some put the number at about one in 3000 cats is an orange girl. Yet we have six of them.

I'm not sure but we probably have more orange girls than any household on the east coast of the United States. And we don't even keep each one we find. Some have wondered what is up with our area that results in so many orange girls. Just lucky I guess.

I'd love to have a male tortie but unlike orange girls those are ultra rare and I could never afford their vet bills.

When I was in law school, people used to say: “If you don’t know who the class jerk is, it’s you.”

Actually, they didn’t say “jerk,” but you get the point. And it rang true.

It also gave me a quiet goal for the rest of my time there: Figure out who the class jerk is — or take a good long look in the mirror.

Now science has an update that makes the whole idea a little more serious: Difficult people in your life might actually make you age faster.

How Canva Became the Power Player in the AI Design Wars ‘Hasslers’

That’s the conclusion of a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers examined the impact of what they called “hasslers” — people in someone’s social circle who regularly cause problems or make life more difficult.

The study used data from more than 2,300 adults in Indiana, combining detailed surveys about participants’ social networks with saliva samples that allowed researchers to measure biological aging through DNA markers.

The result: Each additional “hassler” in a person’s life was associated with a roughly 1.5 percent faster pace of biological aging.

“Those less-positive relationships may function as chronic stressors, so having those people around you actually makes your life really challenging,” said Byungkyu Lee, an assistant professor of sociology at New York University and lead author of the study.

The researchers also estimated that each additional hassler corresponded to being roughly nine months older biologically than someone of the same chronological age.

Put simply, the wrong people can wear you down. ‘Chronic stress’

The study also found that difficult relationships correlate with a wide range of other health issues. Participants who reported more hasslers tended to have worse mental health, higher levels of anxiety and depression, poorer self-rated health, and higher body mass indexes.

Researchers think the mechanism is fairly straightforward: chronic stress.

Repeated interpersonal tension can keep the body’s stress systems activated, increasing hormones such as cortisol and triggering inflammation. Over time, that kind of physiological strain can affect the biological processes associated with aging.

One interesting twist in the study involves who the “hasslers” are most likely to be.

Friends, it turns out, were relatively unlikely to fall into that category. Only a small percentage of friendships were described as regularly stressful.
Family members were far more likely to be identified as hasslers — especially parents and children. Coworkers and roommates also appeared frequently on the list.

The explanation is intuitive. Relationships based on obligation or shared space are harder to escape or redefine. You can slowly drift away from a difficult friend. It is much harder to create distance from someone you work with, live with, or share a family with.

(Can I point out that law school classmates — especially since first year law students often take all their classes with the same people — fit this almost perfectly?) Looking in the mirror, again …

The researchers were careful about how far to take their findings. The study identifies an association between hasslers and faster biological aging, but it does not prove direct cause and effect. Other factors could contribute to the pattern.

Still, the research highlights something worth thinking about: chronic stress from difficult interactions has real consequences.

So one obvious takeaway is to think carefully about the people who occupy the center of your life — the people who get your time, attention, and emotional energy.

But there’s a second takeaway that might be just as important.

It’s easy to read about “hasslers” and immediately picture someone else: the impossible coworker, the exhausting relative, the friend who always brings drama.

The harder question is whether we ever play that role ourselves. Choose carefully

Most people probably have moments when they are the one creating the strain, escalating conflicts, or leaving other people feeling drained after an interaction.

Which makes the goal pretty simple.

Choose your relationships carefully. Protect your time and energy. Invest in the people who make life calmer, steadier, and better.

And try not to become the kind of person who speeds up someone else’s biological clock.

So here’s to science, and living longer, and being careful about who we allow to get close to us and take up our time.

And also, here’s to being able — even all these years later — to remember pretty quickly who the class jerk was — and knowing it wasn’t me.
