Because your diet sucks. A few months of eating only unprocessed food and you'd probably eat McDonald's exactly one more time in your life

And I do specifically mean McDonald's... It's uniquely disgusting, even among fast food. It tastes like it's reconstituted food scraps doped with sugar

... What?

But the article doesn't even explain how they're advancing the technology - it makes it sound like they invented it for this purpose, and mentions nothing about using it outside. How does that help them?

Also, the link I sent you all the way at the beginning describes how the process works... Yes, it's quantum in that it takes advantage of things happening at the quantum scale. Like polarized lenses

The article I sent you, which l picked because it actually described how the technology works, doesn't use the word quantum once. It uses the word laser a lot... Which is probably why it's named optically pumped magnometers

I still think the fact that it took this long and this much further reading for us to understand what the team is actually doing makes it terrible science communication

They do actually need competence. Marching around and acting like a menace doesn't actually accomplish much but piss people off

Gatekeep at the grocery store. It's easier to resist eating a full tub of Oreos by deciding not to buy them in the first place

It's easier to moderate what platforms you use than it is to resist their affect on you. Restrict where and how you are exposed to short form video and what kinds of social media you use

Also, take magnesium glycinate, but not on an empty stomach. Basically everyone with ADHD has a magnesium deficiency that makes the symptoms way worse

Would that have avoided the entire controversy? Who knows.

No, I know. If it didn't happen here, she would've kept trying. She's an instigator... Her essay wasn't just fundamentalist Christian, it was full of straight up bigotry. Go read it if you don't believe me... This was written to be offensive

University of Oklahoma student Samantha Fulnecky is going viral again after her mother's identity was revealed. Her mother, Kristi Fulnecky, was a politician in Springfield, and she was forced to step down due to multiple lawsuits.

In 2017, two tax liens were filed against Kristi, but she claimed they were errors by the IRS. During the pandemic, she sued the Springfield and the city of Branson for pushing the mask mandate.

Samantha Fulnecky's mother also sued the Springfield Public Schools over its reopening plan, demanding five days of in-person attendance for students. She has also made headlines for her online behavior, from threatening a police chief to blocking and sending legal letters to private citizens.

She comes from a long line of Karens, of course the first thing she does as an adult is stir up shit and play the victim

It wasn't actually changed, they just decided to call it that now

That tracks. I mean, these boats would have to be refueled 20x to reach Florida, so they must all be Aquaman

I mean... That actually sounds pretty reasonable. If you want to soft launch to your fans to get things ready for a larger launch, go for it

See? Now that's reasonable. If the article was about that, it'd be respectable

But instead, it was about quantum brain imaging. It took two science enthusiasts doing adversarial research to get to what the team was actually doing, which is cancelling out the impact of Earth's magnetic field so opm-meg can be used outside

Do you still think this is good for public engagement?

They go to the fucking lasers. They're fiber optic cables. The big machine was a device your head was strapped into, and you couldn't move or you'd disrupt the readings

See? This is what I mean by dishonest. My research took me to other groups who built this tech. If they miniaturized it, it was incremental improvement on the big advancement someone else made

No, see I kept reading. I searched the keywords and went from there. It's opm-meg, not meg... That's the big ass machine vs the silly hat

These people aren't the vanguard. They're not the ones pushing the limits of the technology... They're just another group using it
