  Exactly

  But I’m not the one coming on here telling everyone weed eases pain.

  Except I’ve had experiences that aren’t explainable by alm this:

  Discussing a random, never-thought-of-before idea with a friend, in the car. Neither of us had ever thought of this thing before (honestly don’t recall now what it was). Discussed it for 2 minutes, then moved on.

  Later we’re both seeing related ads, yet neither of us searched for anything.

  And it was something way out of left field for both of us, that neither of us had ever thought of before. The related ads were so jarring that we both told each other about it.

  Oh, and my phone was rooted, de-googled (lineage), with heavy restrictions for the apps, no social media (I still don’t have any accounts with any of them, except here), etc. The other phone was an iPhone.

  I’ve had a very similar experience.

  Once discussed something, out of the blue, something I’ve never been curious about in my life, in the car, with a friend who also has never thought about the same thing.

  Hours later we’re both seeing related ads.

  Now, I get that the amount of data required for such analysis is supposedly outside the bounds of what phones can do. But I can’t see any other explanation. Neither of us ever searched anything in this subject, we talked about doe a couple minutes and moved on, never doing anything about it. We have very different interests, too.

  Since they’re on a garage door opener, they’re probably designed to be very simple to operate. Not to malign electricians or general contractors, but they don’t have the time to deal with fussy mechanisms - they’ll deal with it once, then never use that brand again.

  Since the hole is at an angle I’d guess they’re spring loaded but manually operated. That little slot on the top of the orange buttons looks designed for a flat screwdriver to push it down, opening the clamping mechanism, and it’s spring loaded to come back up and clamp the wire.

  Just my guess. Can you shine a light into the hole and see the mechanism at all?

  Weed sucks for pain.

  Opiates are the only thing I’ve found that makes by difference at all.

  Not everyone is you.
