<raptop> SnoopJ: It occures to me that there's a very cursed overlap between people who thinkg GR and/or QM are bad/wrong, and people who think that there's been no progress in physics in the past ~40-60 years
<raptop> *occurs
<SnoopJ> raptop, the Enthusiast mind is something else
<raptop> (ie: a date that includes GR and QM as advances)
<raptop> hm
<SnoopJ> and I say that as someone with not a small amount of Enthusiast brain
<SnoopJ> but, yea
<SnoopJ> raptop, the irony of saying it on a computer, though 😅
<raptop> hah
<raptop> Mind you, my recollection is that BJTs are way more magic than FETs
<SnoopJ> I'm thinking more in the direction of e.g. giant magnetoresistance
<SnoopJ> or perhaps the blue LED, but I'm still angry with the blue LED
<raptop> heh
<raptop> But, things like blue LEDs (...or high temperature superconductors) are solid state physics, rather than the fundamental physics that Enthusists rave about
<SnoopJ> Feels pretty fundamental to me tbqh
<SnoopJ> but yea, I know what you mean
<SnoopJ> visibility problem, maybe
<raptop> For some reason https://explosm.net/comics/kris-same continually haunts me about the whole Enthusiast thing
<galois> title: Cyanide & Happiness (Explosm.net)
<SnoopJ> ha
<raptop> !8 Does a laser gyro work by causing a population inversion in tzatziki?
<galois> raptop: yes
<raptop> yum
<egg|matrix|egg> Meow
