  • So honest question here:

    Why can’t it be used to transmit information? Wouldn’t we be able to capture the state and use that be turned into instructions the same way we use binary currently?

    Binary is essentially just a series of “on” and “off” states that we capture and translate into instructions, so why can’t we do that with entangled particles? Like position 6 translates into instructions F and position 2 triggers instructions B.

    I know this is overly simplified but I do not follow that we can’t send information this way when looking at it through this lense.






  • I worked tech support for years and the trick is to just start off with a list of everything you’ve done. Even if you haven’t done it just hit them with that list. Most people working tier 1 support don’t actually know anything about technology and just have a list of steps to take. Once they’ve exhausted that list they are lost and have no clue what to do and that’s when they would hit me up on their help desk.

    Another aspect of it could also be that they assume you don’t know what you’re talking about and are just regurgitating something you read somewhere. You wouldn’t believe how many times someone would call in with something like this “I just need this xyz solution” and they would be completely wrong about it. For the reps that know what they are doing this is at least 1 or 2 calls a day for them.





  • Love Mistborn! Was my first Sanderson book and I’m only disappointed in the fact that I’m caught up on pretty much all his series and have to wait for new ones.

    Currently I’m reading book 2 in the Kagen the damned series called Son Of The Poison Rose. I am thoroughly enjoying it and the series. It’s set in HP Lovecraft’s universe but during medieval times and is brutal. It is definitely a mature read as Johnathan Mayberry doesn’t skimp on the details in any of his scenes. But I would highly recommend to any fans of Lovecraft or medieval fantasy novels.






  • I feel ya brother. I live in a conservative small town, have a big beard, wear my hair in a high and tight cut, drive a truck and I can go on. I get mistaken by these people all the time as one of theirs. Thing is I couldn’t be further from them. My kids godparent (for lack of a better term) is trans. I call myself an equalist because I believe everyone should enjoy the same rights and treatment that I as a white cis male enjoy. It’s annoying as all get out that my personal aesthetic is so closely tied to these assholes
