Forms of madness (Anonhistory)
  • Elagabala made it very clear to her contemporaries how she wanted to be addressed, I don't understand why people insist on acting like they're being enlightened by disrespecting her wishes. It's privileging transphobes to let them tell us we can'r trust people like Elagabala to tell us who she was.

  • In regards to the Bose-Einstein Condensate, what could be the daily life, practical application of slowing down or freezing a photon?
  • If it hits everyday life, it will be buried deep under a straightforward application layer. Some hobbyists bought "electricity"; most people bought "toasters" and "electric lights". CCDs revolutionized photography but the vast majority of users had no idea they were using one.

    Depending on the mechanism by why which the condensate slows down the photon (for example, if it doesn't mess with polarization), you might be able to use it to store one half of an entangled pair of photons while you use the other to do whatever.

    Putting together these two lines of thinking, a BEC could potentially be used as part of an authentication process to set up a secure channel; generate a pair, send one half of it off to your counterparts, verify their response using the stored one you have.

    I think today, the stored photon is kept in a fiber optic loop; the idea would be the same as what you can do in a lab, but maybe much much smaller and cheaper.

  • Marvel's Midnight Suns is criminally underrated
  • Yeah I just wanted to play the arena combat.

    I wanted to buy a $40 deck builder game with cool IP, they wanted to sell me a $70 AAA production with a bunch of external stuff that I found pretty boring.

    I ended up not buying.

  • Do lesbians have a concept of Top and Bottom?
  • I think in the second half you're asking whether butches are more likely to be toppy and femmes are more likely to be bottomy.

    I think there's probably some positive correlation there but butchness and toppiness are distinct concepts.
