AI Thread Summary
The 2024 PF Member Awards will be held later than usual, with voting starting the week of the new year and the ceremony scheduled for mid-January 2025. A reminder to review last year's awards is provided through a linked thread. The polls will open in one week, and the awards are slightly delayed due to the organizer being out of town. The ceremony is set for Sunday. Excitement builds as the event approaches.

Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued.

Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
