OSI bean dip posted:it's as if physics should be ignored. even the glass in fiber optic cable, which is so clear that it could be 40 km thick and still produce a near-perfect image to an observer looking through will still muck up the light you're receiving this is irrelevant because it's a teensy tiny effect compounded by traversing a long distance. we're talking about a plastic doodad for a phone. there are tons of plastic doodads you can put on top of a phone and they don't effect signal strength. a 40km thick plastic phone case would, though. Shifty Pony posted:bingo. a big sheet-o-glass has pretty negligible attenuation at phone frequencies (look at the purple line on page 3 of this) but every change in material results in a change in the propagation velocity. thanks to physics that boundary condition results in some amount of reflection. for glass fibers in plastic those boundaries are also curved and randomly distributed so they cause a bit of lensing and diffusion with the end result being something like this lamp filled with crushed glass: yes, this is the correct explanation. waves can only maintain spatial coherence if the structure of the discontinuities appear more or less uniform at the size scale of the wavelength. that's why only very smooth surfaces can be partially reflective or transparent. specks of glass will gently caress poo poo up unless they're effectively infinitesimal and uniformly distributed at the size scale of the wavelength, at which point it just looks like a sort of uniform average of the constituent materials.

The keurig of juice But with way more garbage per 8oz glass I remember something from the inventor of the keurig where he feels guilty that it's wasteful yet super popular and "it's not like drip coffee is hard to make"

Like, who thought this was a good idea? Who loving invested in this poo poo? What were they thinking? I'm so confused, mad, have so many questions, uaihaoidjgp a dfa jdofaj dp fa d fja opdfapk d fad[fa dpfap dfaoijdn 'fai df aid f a ei r90 2w34r aike0raeut

the pack is full of vegetables they've run through a food processor, which is why there's no difference between a $400 press and hand-wringing the pouch. it doesn't contain juice, which is the gimmick.
