Good morning ~plasmon, welcome to The Midnight!
~bartender? Coffee with cream an sugar --- its too early in the morning for experiments. Thanks!
Physics. Yes. I have spent a good part of my lifetime with that. I did venture into the realm of astrophysics. Symbiotic double stars, äh, white dwarfs accreting hydrogen-rich material from their companion red giant or similar. The dwarf grows a skin of "degenerated" matter, and at some point nuclear fusion can set in an produce a giant surface explosion. One of these objects, T Cor Bor, is expected to trigger soonish. So yes, even in astronomy your favorite comes in quite easily :)
However, I have changed fields towards computing, working at the blurry line which separates hardware (like wires, components, and controllers), enhanced with funny things like FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays; which are configurable hardware, if you will), and pure software (starting at obscure boot loaders, loading a not so obscure boot loader, loading and starting an operating systems kernel and it's associated user land).
Wherever you go, have the appropriate amount of fun!
Cheers!

Huh. Kind of reminds me of a biological body, and then an increasingly complex idea of a self that starts with the thought "I", and somehow becomes (not unlike html..) a huge mess requiring priests, therapists, alcohol, war, etc. to maybe sorta kinda not really manage... so that said "I" is essentially a boot loader of all the rest sometimes a-bit-too-honestly-for-most referred to as "mental illness"... :-)
This replaces the original reply content because said content didn't post correctly and now seemingly cannot be deleted by https://midnight.pub/replies/8208/remove, which annoyingly leads to seeing this:
It would be nice to know what characters in my original need escaping so the post-by-script method doesn't lead to this.
