  • I went to an all-boys Catholic highschool. I had a teacher that was a Christian Brother. One day he had an argument with a classmate over how effective condoms were. He basically argued that condoms don’t work. (Even arguing that a Ziploc bag couldn’t keep semen from escaping.)

    This teacher was pretty popular because he was a character, who’d sometimes make crude jokes.

    After graduating, some friends and a I ran into him at a mall. He asked us “What are you guys up to? Picking up little girls?”

    We laughed it off thinking he was still his same old jovial self.

    Not long after, I heard that this same teacher had been arrested for being involved with minors. His “joke” that day seemed like some major projection.












  • It is my understanding that most LEDs are inherently blue, but they add phosphors that mask the appearance of that blue light, making it appear white to our eyes.

    If you look at the spectrum for an LED bulb there is almost always a big spike in the blue part of the wavelength.

    So, if you were to “turn off” the blue light, you would be turning off the source of the light itself. Because of that, filtering is often used to lessen that blue bump in the spectrum.
