How can your brain play tricks on "you," when you are your brain?

First. We don't know everything about our brain. Right? Second. Our brains control our dreams. No?

So I'm pretty sure.. a brain can trick you "A trick Mind?" hehe

Well, If you see something you thought it was Or you think it's Just a sqrage smiley "It's just an example. lol" but It isn't. Doesn't it means.. the brain tricked/confused you?

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can the brain. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for thinking that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go dream to want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do trick more like thoughts. It's just common sense Firecat, I just don't understand how you don't like think more he like.

There's more to our brains than our conscious thoughts and actions.
Playing tricks is one thing. Sometimes one side of your brain tries to kill you.

Well yea if it gets damaged it'll malfunction. But I don't see how you can argue that the brain isn't you and vice versa. You can be unaware of things about yourself and even do things that aren't the best for you (smoking cigarettes, eating tons of cheeseburgers), it doesn't mean it's not part of you.

The brain is a part of your body and the brain is who you are and what makes your personality. But that doesn't mean the brain cannot trick you. Doesn't have to do with damage at all.

Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
