<B787_300> https://www.space.com/42505-solar-gravity-lens-exoplanets-niac.html talk about dark magic fuckery UmbralRaptor
<UmbralRaptor> GR isn't magic the way QM is, though.
<B787_300> i mean i can kinda wrap my head around gravitational lensing, but it still seems somehow wrong
<UmbralRaptor> microlensing is eggstra confusing, though

<B787_300> oh can someone do the digital equivalent to that in the US... i would love to not have a 8k debt hanging over my head and it would probably help stimulate the economy
* UmbralRaptor glares at the loan forgiveness program that rejected ~99.7% of applicants.
<B787_300> UmbralRaptor: it would have done nect to nothing for me
<B787_300> even though i have a public sector job...
<UmbralRaptor> well, yes. it had that 120 month thing. but still…
<B787_300> i make too much and at the forgiveness point i would have practically owed nothing
<B787_300> and if i had done the other plan (govt matches what i pay but i am tied to a time of service) the amount of time was the same that i need to have a steady job and the chances of me getting that were slimmer than a snowballs chance in hell
<UmbralRaptor> ow

<SnoopJeDi> arcane knowledge! \o/

<raptop> It would not be this arcane if various people (myself included) had set things up properly >_<

<SnoopJeDi> oh. stubborn committee member has decided he's "not able to" serve on my committee at all, now. well.
* raptop meeps
* bofh also meeps
<SnoopJeDi> It's my own damned fault for dragging my feet, and a good excuse to be rid of his stubbornness and put [actual accelerator physicist who isn't my advisor] on the committee, but...yea.
<SnoopJeDi> raptop, speaking of galaxies, I've been tickled by how closely my simulation results resemble spiralbois: https://jamesgerity.com/poincare.png

<B787_300> bofh: welcome to the US? i mean it would be sane and logical to think that the person who was wrongfully arrested would get money from them, not have to pay, but i guess that is what the courts are for
<SnoopJeDi> Only if you win
<SnoopJeDi> Which makes court a biiiig gamble, since you're probably on the hook for the defendant's legal fees if you're ruled against?
<SnoopJeDi> Not sure exactly how it works when the defendant is the state
<SnoopJeDi> But it's common enough in civil cases :/
