You just make completely baseless assumptions and then keep on going. Your statements are entirely divorced from reality. Plus you are a massive asshole on top of that.

I’m sure I will overlook the shit show time sink they represent for me to give your experience precedence over mine

That isn’t a gross overreaction at all. You seem like a delight to be around.

You may not like it but Apple’s choices produce performant hardware and their laptops have had better battery life than other HW for what feels like well more than a decade. It could very well be harder to repair but I’ve had a ton of Mac’s and none have required repair.

If we take too much energy from wind it will probably turn out to have negative consequences.

The energy output by a wind turbine has to come from somewhere. It is taking it from the wind.

Texas, and probably other states, are openly attacking and censoring higher education as well. The provost for a place I was at carried around spreadsheets of costs since overall the university was always losing money. They are in for a tough time if populations get smaller as you say.

Sports programs that can afford expensive coaches don’t cost the university money. Big football programs pay for themselves and fund a wide variety of other sports, which don’t make money, at the university.

Universities got more expensive as state support generally declined. Features expanded as you said to draw students as universities had to compete more to get students. Plus you have these lists that rank each university. That drives students to demand more and requires more funds from universities to compete over listing items.

The guarantees for student loans actually go the other way - the guarantee is for the lender. Given the amounts people generally need for an education, along with a complete lack of income, students wouldn’t be able to get a loan of sufficient size without government stepping in as a backstop.

State governments realized they could reduce their funding towards universities (or keep it fixed while it devalues due to inflation) and push the cost onto students. Administration has also exploded in numbers. Many get paid much more than faculty. Universities have also expanded services and features to make students want to come. Universities can’t raise prices higher than students are willing to pay. Note students are also not guaranteed to get federal loans plus there are limits. Private loans aren’t guaranteed either but have a variety of programs.

You can’t be serious. Bitcoin is less than 20 years old and for most of that time almost everyone thought it was a joke. Most still do. Your timeframe for stabilization is disconnected from reality.

Wouldn’t be the first time

Bitcoin is the youngest currency around and u like all of the other currencies it isn’t mandated or controlled by governments. If inventions have to be 100% perfect out of the gate then you’ll never get anything new.

Yes, much better to choose currencies supported by state violence instead of math and open source software. /s

Southern Baptists were formed to use God to justify slavery. No surprise that they continue to be disgusting people.

Scientists sure are stupid. Wasting time collecting evidence to prove their hypotheses. /s

I don’t see how a RYGB monitor is bad news.

How does one objectively measure color?

If color is in light then why do people see yellow from an RGB monitor when no yellow light is present? If color is a physical property of light how do we see color? Do the chemicals in our cones see/respond to color? How? How is color detected by chemicals in our eye transmitted to the brain? Does electricity also support color? If so, how?

I’m a physicist and no, color is not a physical property of light. Color is a subjective experience created by our mind in response to electrical signals from our eyes.

The color yellow subjectively exists. Like I said at the beginning, color is a product of the mind. Objectively, as in is it directly measurable, light has no color. Physics deals with objective measurements.

You can call it whatever you want but color isn’t a physical property of light. It is a construction of the mind. You claim a certain wavelength is yellow. A computer display can show a combination of red and green pixels that we perceive to be the same shade of yellow even though the original yellow wavelength isn’t present at all. Color isn’t from the light itself but from our mind.
