just because the relative range is the same, it doesn’t mean the consistency is. the analog signal and the color subcarrier chews the hell out of whatever you’re broadcasting. many family’s still had their 70s era color tvs which would be fuzzy and off tint well into the cable era. it was more about minimizing damage rather than achieving a pristine picture.

now that the hardware baseline is so good, you can count on that extra quality overhead to show up, even with the same rgb range.

there’s a reason component cables didn’t push past 1080i. you lost at literally EVERY transmission step before things went digital.

some things have slim basis in truth. Crystals do resonate and transmit energy. But believers give them attributes which haven't been proven out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_radio

How do entangled electrons communicate over vast distances? If you can answer that question you will be rich and famous for the rest of your life. But the fact that we can't explain it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I don't believe in sympathetic magic, because ive never seen it performed. But the fact that we don't know how it would work isn't necessarily sufficient argument against it.

Some of your questions there aren't really about how, they are exploring philosophy/morals. If magic were real, yes there would be crimes associated with love potions.

Why don't X do Y - Thats part of why people don't believe. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/may/12/new-york-psychic-arrested-zoe-fortune-teller

At a fundamental level its faith. And ignorance. But most people are also ignorant of the way their car works beyond the high level basics too.

Nothing chad about it. Winning.

That is only partially correct. They have similar range but the quality of the image, not to mention the broadcast itself, factored into how the images were colorized. Thus, older shows DO have more/darker color.

You right, it was supposed to be Sherry!

They got bought by Bayer in 2018. So they're under Bayer Crop Science if I recall correctly.

> Fertilizer has nitrogen in more accessible form, too.

To expand on this, the research into biochar has shown some promise as a [soil amendment](https://www.nature.com/artic les/s41598-020-67528-y). On Figure 7 it shows how Biochar-based controlled release nitrogen fertilizers(BCRNFs) differ from the control(CK)

As a side bonus, creation of biochar is a considerably high on the carbon sequestration front

So do they have any reasoning for how they think they produce results?

Well, for example, by what mechanism do amethysts prevent drunkenness or hangovers?

What's the basis for the theory that crystals store energy?

By what mechanism does sympathetic magic cause something to happen to object B? How does the effect or energy get from A to B?

If this is real, why don't witches cast revenge spells on evil dictators or run a pro bono service to curse abusive partners or make people in poverty win the lottery?

If this is real, aren't revenge spells and love spells as bad as assault/battery and rape? No matter how attracted a person is to someone, it doesn't give a partner the right to override their right to make their own choices by influencing their mind.

I'm trying to reconcile people talking as if it's real with the way it's handled. Even if there's no scientific explanation, there must be a purported explanation of how it does what it does.

>un savory research

I see what you did there... r/Angryupvote

Doritos are full of MSG, but the people who swear Chinese food makes them sick could down a whole bag of Doritos and never notice.

They did a test where they gave a room full of people a free meal, then afterward told them that people in the left half of the room had MSG in their food and the other half didn't, and a bunch of people started complaining about feeling sick. Everyone got the exact same food, no MSG.

Huh, what are they called now?

Like turning a perfectly normal tuber into some abominable color?

Or increasing it's size by 500%?

Or, you know, seedless? Those watermelons are just crossbreeds, like mules.

Or jesus fucking Christ what the hell did we do to wolves to end up with pugs!? If there are cosmic space police we're all going to space jail for this.

Cultivation, or selective breeding, has such potential because it is literal gene editing. Just not precise.

Maybe because it’s a world renowned venue in NYC and i don’t think people are against the food there

Thank you for that; i understand the need to drop off but turn red and orange; why not turn from green to black then fall off?

Damn thats crazy! Do you get any sort of hallucinations? In my life ive stayed awake no more than 36hrs tops a few times, with minor hallucinations toward the end.

But for me i dont sleep much if im taking a break, i would say 4-5hrs tops on a 'good' night. The thing that bothers me most is the sort of hot flashes/night sweats i get. Do you haveany other side effects?

So first off it doesn't work, unless you have VERY wide definitions of magic and "work". But there are several general patterns of belief. (to clarify, im describing all of the things below as they are believed, im not claiming them as fact or my personal beliefs)

1. Just directly influencing the universe via willpower. This was what was advocated for by Aleister Crowley, one of the more seminal semi-modern western occultists. Parts of it were watered down to the point where some of his "spellbooks" said things like "I was hungry, so I went to the store and bought some food and ate it, and that was a spell, because my willpower made those things happen". But also he claimed things that we would more readily identify as "magic"

2. Causing spirits/demons/genies/gods/etc to do work for us. Either by trading them energy/soul/value/sacrifice for them to do the work, or as a reward for worship or by enslaving them via some mechanism (or relying on a new or ancient contract/treaty)

3. its "nature". Crystals just store energy. things have resonant frequencies. Just because people don't understand it doesn't mean its not real. Amethysts prevent drunkenness/hangovers (the word literally means "not-drunk")

4. Hacking the matrix. The universe has rules, and tools, and you can sometimes usethem in ways others don't understand. This can sometimes evolve into actual science. Before people understood magnets, or electricity, or lots of pharmaceuticals, people were doing these things and calling it magic/alchemy. But sometimes its "god left behind some passwords (spells) and I figured them out".

5. Sympathetic magic. If you really squint at this you could pretend its quantum theory. I do something to object A, and something similar will happen to object B with which its entangled.

I could be wrong but some studies included injecting it directly to the blood stream of mice and the results showed some negative effects on their heart...duh.

I think it could still form in places like peat bogs or salt marshes that have a lot of organic matter but little oxygen.
