I’d forgive if it were returned. It’s one of those ‘you’re my enemy until that plate gets put back in my microwave’ type-shit for me.
Return-the-slab-type shit.

Sounds like they just stopped dopamine saturating themselves. If you’re constantly seeking dopamine-producing activities, your receptors straight up stop being able to uptake more dopamine, and I’ve heard that dopamine overproduction can wear out your pituitary gland so that it stops producing enough (this is mostly noted in drug abusers). So there’s a school of thought that bot engaging in dopamine-inducing activities helps you have a healthier baseline where your brain experiences more enjoyment out of regular activities.
I have only ever encountered these talking points in passing so i have no clue if it’s true.

Anyone actually know what measurment devices are used to observe which slit the electron passes through? How do we know that a specific measuring tool isn’t changing the experiment significantly enough to cause issues with outcome and that the behavior change is abnormal?

They didn’t. They said they work at an infectious disease lab. That’s plausibly deniable enough.
Dudes at Lockheed Martin can probably say ‘I work at Lockheed Martin’ without breaking NDA, but could very likely just say ‘I work at an Aeronautics Engineering Company’ to stay more obscure about it. That second example is at about the same level of detail as the ‘infectious disease lab’.

So it’s just showing the different types of sensors that might be used for parameter measurement.
Non-contacting is a device which does not need to be physically near a system to work, such as laser thermometers or many optical devices.
Contacting sensors require being touch the system to work properly, such as conventional thermometers, oil-immersion microscopes - hell, even things like rulers count as contact sensors, since you can’t an accurate reading unless it’s up against your sample.
Invasive-contact sensors integrate themselves into the sample for measurement. Thermocouples often will be placed into boreholes to measure the temp of a metal object such as a hot-end, various sensors are directly from feedback of a system (an example is looking at variations in a motor’s electical signals to determine if it’s experiencing resistance).
Sample extraction is what it sounds like. Examples of this are sample augers, which drill a cylinder out of a sample, needles for drawing fluids as non-invasively as possible, and pipettes.

Most SEMs use a vacuum chamber to get their photos. Also, it’s also not uncommon to sputter a conductive coating onto the surface you’re scanning.
How the hell did they get this photo?

Is this really the path of mathematicians? I would at least assume they’d learn matrixes and linear algebra, and at least dip their toes into one of the adjacent tangential maths like discrete maths.

It seems MLK was exhausted by how ineffective peaceful protest throughout his campaigning, and communicated his doubts of whether peaceful means would actually work in his letter from Birmingham Jail. He stuck with peaceful means till he was assassinated, which is commendable.
After King’s death, the violent Holy Week Uprising occurred in response. At the end of that week, the Civil Rights Act had been passed. It sure seems like the Holy Week Uprising got some of what it wanted much faster than King’s years of peaceful protest. What King absolutely brought about, though, was a strong alignment for members of the Civil rights movement, which made the Uprising possible in the first place.

That is a very controversial take for Americans, and not just from a gun-toter’s perspective. The US has a long history of gun violence, yes, but the US also has a long history of state corruption which only ended by guns driving that corruption back.
In 1946, Veterans in the town of Athens used their firearms to fight against a corrupt police department helping the standing state rig the elections.
In 1921 The Battle of Blair Mountain occurred, where West Virginia miners who’d been stuck in the exploitive company town employment model, battled along the ridges of Blair Mountain against Police. In the company towns you could be fired from your job and evicted from your home without trial - since the mining company owned the houses and only let employees use them - and being in a Union was a fireable offense. This was the largest labor uprising in US history, mine workers fighting deputy sheriffs and strike breakers, with the police actually using biplanes to drop bombs overtop the heads of the miners. This was apart of the Coal Wars of the US, and apart of the broader Labor Wars in the US, which eventually led to the pro-labor regulations we now have in place within the US (which are now being dismantled despite a massive rise in peaceful protests).
In 1968, the Holy Week Uprising occurred in response to Rev. Martin Luther King Junior’s assassination, and fueled by the massive inequality that the black community still faced.
All of these were cases of a overhead government, whether state, town, or federal, failing to provide for it citizens, and those citizens helping change that governments’ behaviour through violent armed uprising. It is a regular occurrence in American history for us to have corrupt officials who start setting inhumane policies, and it’s also been a regular occurrence for that corruption to need violent intervention in order for changes for the better to occur.

- Comment on He'll realize one day 1 month ago:
In past times, you would have several generations of family adults all under the same roof. If you go even further back, the homes were made with a single sleeping area. During those times, it was pretty likely that you would hear or see a family getting it on in some fashion - in fact, it was likely unavoidable to some extent. These kinds of living situations still exist in various parts of the world, too.
We’ve gotten very accustomed to the extreme privacy that private chambers provide, and it’s made us prudes over sex - even though it’s something the vast majority of us do in some fashion.
This image is still pretty funny though.
