Make the text fields non-editable or drop them entirely? The writing and clickable demos provide a very good lesson without using any text input.

Is it because the black hole is a macro distortion of spacetime and not a local quantum property?

This brought tears to my eyes:

But you—at your most frazzled, sleep-deprived, raccoon-eyed best—you can try. You can squint at the layers of abstraction and see through them. Peel back the nice ergonomic type-safe, pure, lazy, immutable syntactic sugar and imagine the mess of assembly the compiler pukes up.

Amazing

The emergency copper quench conductors the thickness of my arm were pretty cool to see.

You got to realize they've built a giant circular vacuum tube surrounded by superconducting magnetic jackets that can steer and accelerate a particle beam (actually two going opposite directions), and giant cameras/calorimeters that image photons and other decaying particles from the beam collisions on the micrometer spatial scale. Each component individually may not be grand of scale and complexity but when taken as a whole it works together in amazing ways.

Looks like around 1000mm full frame equivalent. You could do it with a kit lens and teleconverter or get a cheap catadiotropic lens.

Would be interesting if a non-diabetic person does the same trial, as a "control".

Note: This is pure speculation, and I'm not claiming to know anything more than passing knowledge about diabetes.

We should be taking a measured approach to shooting them (by that I mean we should be shooting them). So that they know to leave people alone.

At a gym I used to climb, there was also a Grigri "failure" where a lighter belayer was pulled up the the first clip, which then unlocked the Grigri until the climber hit the ground.

Pretty sure there were no major injuries thankfully.
