An absolutely S-tier explanation of the smith chart, and also the concept of reflectance through a wire.
There's a device called a Time Domain Reflectometer that will induce a small pulse on a line and use this characteristic to listen for reflections, and that represents changes in resistance over a line. In this way, you can find damage in electrical cables without going inside of them. The same concept works in optical systems, so there are also optical time domain reflectometers which similarly send a light pulse out and look for light reflected back.

*white replacement theory* is a far right conspiracy theory that the left keeps bragging about actually doing decade after decade
This is my go-to example for why we should not assume old stories are stupid and have nothing to teach us. Not every old myth is literally true, but we've learned over the past 100 years that there's a shocking amount of accuracy in them, to the point that major anthropological dig sites were found by just going to where the stories told us to look, such as one dig site where we think we found the ancient city of Troy, and another where we found a previously forgotten civilization on Crete which we named the Minoans after the greek myth which suggested its existence.

"The California Coastal Commission on Thursday rejected the Air Force’s plan to give SpaceX permission to launch up to 50 rockets a year from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County.
“Elon Musk is hopping about the country, spewing and tweeting political falsehoods and attacking FEMA while claiming his desire to help the hurricane victims with free Starlink access to the internet,” Commissioner Gretchen Newsom said at the meeting in San Diego."

Rejecting permission to launch rockets solely for protected political speech is a crime against the constitution. We need to create a criminal law so these people can be locked up for abusing their government powers to punish people for saying things they don't like. Not just the US, anywhere there's a constitution. We need to hold the government and its officials accountable personally when they use the most powerful stick in existence to whack a private citizen for doubleplus ungood wrongspeak.

Can't even call it filter bubbles, they just hate and reject anything that doesn't conform to their worldview, often violently.

A lot of people injecting themselves into things to have a say over your beliefs or who you're allowed to associate with instead of anything related to the works themselves.

One thing about music that got worse with phones is I think a lot of pop artists work as if their music will be played on a crappy tiny speaker instead of a hifi system.
Crazy thing, I found out that this game I used to play with my little brother (we'd use q, a, z, and x as the movement keys for player 2) -- and it turns out it's still being sold online!
