If your goal is just to prevent glare from direct sunlight? Maybe a purely passive diffuser is what you're looking for

It takes every path available, and with high enough voltage, more paths become available

Don't remember where I heard it first, but I always love to hear it.

When people are talked down to, they often dig in their heels due to an emotion called psychological reactance. The reactionary ape that still exists in every human feels challenged and that ape will not allow reason to stop it.

If you see such a reaction and allow yourself to believe "well that person was just an immature child", you risk giving yourself license to keep talking down to people. Repeat ad nauseum.

It doesn't matter that you're objectively correct about the effect meat has on the biosphere if you just keep going around that circle, creating 0 new vegans every lap

I think this commenter is trying to say that the nominal size of a 2x2 is 2" by 2" (and it looks like they typo'd nominal to "normal")

The actual size of a 2x2 is 1.5" by 1.5", and OP incorrectly calls these dimensions nominal

I do lighting design as a part of my job. I met a vendor marketing a 40,000K fixture at an event I went to a few weeks ago.

That was not a typo. Forty Thousand

It was some kind of imitation skylight that claims to make it look like direct sunlight was shining through. Their 3d animation looked up at the light and it looked like the actual sky with the sun in the middle.

As for controllable CCT fixtures, everything I know of is going to be either an IoT app or controlled by a switch on the fixture itself (meaning the fixture would need to be uninstalled, switched, and reinstalled)

In the context of commercial lighting fixtures, color temperature refers to the visible portion of the black body curve

I think two things make up the core of the student loan problem.

  1. Kids in high school are surrounded by rhetoric from every adult they might trust near-constantly insinuating that if you don't go to college you'll never make anything of yourself (this has been better recently, with more and more high school graduates being made abundantly aware of non-college options available to them)

  2. Student loans are designed to spiral into lifelong debt. This one is a bit more anecdotal for me but a good few of my high school friends have paid back well beyond the initial sum of their student loans, yet their remaining balance is greater than they started.

Now I'm not saying this is what you're doing, but those who frame the issue as purely one of personal responsibility (i.e. "you took out a loan pay it back") are at best being unhelpfully reductive and at worst gaslighting.

Set aside, just for a moment, the abstract moral aspect of this position, and consider the purely utilitarian side. If such a huge portion of an entire generation's earnings are being funneled up to banks that talked them into a maybe-not-so-necessary college education when they were 17, they're not exactly enabled to spend money in local commerce. Money spent in local commerce is pretty good if you want an economy to thrive, and if you ask me, student debt forgiveness would substantially contribute to that. If you disagree then you disagree, but framing that disagreement as a moral superiority is immature.
