Fully agree. I've seen a lot of people going into engineering for prestige or "by default" because they weren't bad at math. It always made me a little sad because I found a lot of the courses truly fascinating and eye-opening and I wanted to nerd out with my teammates!

Dang, I did not have the same experience in education! I'm thankful that the situation seems less dire where I'm from. Professors are quite well paid, definitely upper class; while tuition costs are less than 1k€ per year (with financial help available). As they are public institutions, Universities in Belgium do lack funds and their equipment/infrastructure is sometimes in a worse state than American or UK Unis. But still not too shabby!

Yeah I can understand that sitting on a desk all day, reading and taking exams is a pretty harrowing experience for most.

It looks like it's my personal tastes that allowed me to enjoy school. And I really did enjoy it! Hopefully other people find something to do that they love.

Yeah that's what I'm guessing.

I guess it's a black beach towel with white grid half buried in the sand?

Dang, France is collecting yellows

"Regular difficulties in social interaction or communication" is litterally a symptom for autism, my dude.

Thanks! I added "some nebulae" to remove any misunderstanding

I didn't know the story, thanks a lot!

Yeah but if you scratch a little bit the surface, the comparison falls quickly. Okay, magnetism has two signs. Why not gravity ? Why does it attract and not repel? Okay, magnetism is carried by photons. What carries gravity?

That's really cool! I can't seem to make it work properly though. Sometimes, there's a popup with links to the train connection, but I can't make the popup appear reliably.

Depends if the rate of creation of the suspicious instances is higher than the mods can manage.
