Here's your periodic disclaimer that, with the exception of a narrow list of topics, I have posted (and will post in the future) about things I have only the most superficial understanding of.
Everything I say here is essentially opinion, and likely to be factually wrong*. If you get your factual information from random net weirdos, you're using the internet wrong.
*Note: This is not a solicitation for corrections to any errors I make. Everyone is wrong. Get used to it. Go eat a cookie instead
