The MIT blurb "politely" ignores the Bohm/diBroglie synthesis of both (pilot) wave and mechanical particle as entities continuous in space-time. The blurb goes for either/or pimping-the-ride for the boys-from-Copenhagen. Guess that's like a woman ignoring an ex-boyfriend at her own wedding.

I lost 65 lbs without an effect on my sleep apnea. For me a CPAP machine is necessary.

I use minimal over-nose-only mask systems. All ( 15 years and counting ) these CPAP masks have leaked. But, the sound and airflow from the leaks have not been especially irritating. Do I want to take yet-another daily pill ... for anything? NO.

The unabled/entitled always stub their toe. You deserve MOD-3 for saying the plain truth, not a zero (0). But the Slash-Dot wokers hate anyone who calls out their border-jumping & mogrelized pander-pals. Several times I've had to call-out "/.'" editors to repair this very point for myself.

I've always hated TV-remotes. If you are too lazy to get your butt off the couch and turn the channel selector on your Sylvania "bright-ring" B/W 14" unit , then mebby you should return to your RCA-Victor radio. Just replace the burned-out tubes before turning it on.

Yes, I remember them well. They had an office next to RIPLEY, the alien-walking service. I believe RIPLEY even provided Teflon walking-suits and "head-cones" for the creatures. Will we ever get a walking service for snowflake wokers that includes rose-colored glasses, wife-beater Ts and genuine Palestinian manufactured sandals ?

Every species ( except crocodiles ) goes extinct. No different for HOMO. The only question is how much joy a species can experience --- and how far into bitch-Gaias eye can we force our opposable thumbs --- before the extinction event.

Globalist neocons, snowflakes and mongrelized Slash-Dot wokers modded you down. But, most American citizens agree with you. Among other foreigners , Dawkins is correct in evaluating a straight-white-Christian culture as ( close to ) paradise on real Earth.

The experimental point "might" have been to luck-out on a high-temperature phase transition for gold, perhaps analogous to the Bose-Einstein condensate transition at low temperature scales. New phases of matter usually lead to interesting/amusing/commercial consequences. If memory serves, a high-pressure phase transition in diamond was recently observed.

For a person to enjoy "toy pet projects" is indeed the definition of a "broken brain". Mature, discerning adults distinguish between deep-but-ignored problems and a cultural narcotic.

Some sociopaths view shopping simply as a method for acquiring goods. Historically most humans shop personally for the interaction with other (retail) humans ... a bizarre or street-market or restaurant functions very much like this. Human to human interaction ranks primary; exchange of value functions as little more than "social grease". Humans were fundamentally social beings ( not product consumers ) when Aristotle said so ... humans have not changed ... sociopaths and recluse excepted.
