PEO sued Microsoft and won over the E in MCSE, but I see tons of companies use the term anyway. I guess until you're Microsoft-sized, you're too small to be worth the trouble.

There's also gotta be carveouts for such as train engineers, or power engineers that operate and maintain boilers and are referred to as such by the pressure safety associations.

I believe here in Canada, "engineer" is a protected word you can't use in your job title unless you're actually a P.Eng. Which I'm sure has absolutely no teeth whatsoever but maybe it does, I dunno. I'm an engineering technologist but I usually call myself a "drafter/designer" because, I dunno, the former makes me feel like people think I'm trying to call myself an engineer to big myself up. Which I'd never do. I technically work for myself so if I wanted to do that I'd call myself President/CEO/Founder of (whatever I'm calling my one-man shitshow this week, legally my company name is just my own name).

Is there a similar restriction for architects? In the US at least there are now more IT architects than "real" architects.

Ok, so it's plotting mass in stellar masses, grams, and GeV on Y, and radius in cm and megaparsecs on X, and then it looks like there's a time log-scale (time since the big bang?) inside the plot itself?

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

I don't think that's supposed to be a time scale, just a bunch of lines of constant density showing the density of the universe at various times.

The speed of light being a constant means it can be used kind of as a minimum possible time scale when you're taking distance on astronomical scales

Top-left is “things with such high mass for their size they can’t exist or they’d collapse into a black hole”. Bottom left is related to particle wavelengths from quantum mechanics, high energy (i.e. high mass) things have short wavelengths, low-energy things have long ones, so that line should be the limiting one, i.e. the energy-wavelength line for light. Then those time lines basically show the highest and lowest-energy things that can possibly exist at any given time - a thing the size of the whole universe but not quite dense enough to collapse into a black hole, and a photon with a wavelength as long as the universe.

And it's pretty loving cool that "what's physically possible?" can be reduced to such a simple graph

Main Character from the game Disco Elysium. He's extremely brain damaged from drinking, to the point he doesn't know his name, his job, or what he's doing there, and as you play you unlock different abilities based on your play style. Notably, in your addled state these abilities will talk to you and try to persuade you to their preferred methods
