Apologies are by definition when you apologies for your own actions. To claim that it applies to people based on their reaction or is explicitly for people who reacted a certain way is not IMHO a real apology. This type of conditional ap

The spacial resolution of analog photographs is not at the scale of individual molecules. It is limited by the "grain" of the film [1]. Other factors include distortions from lens shape imperfections in the lens material. Audio tapes recor

Genuine question on this. Why can't you just scale a recipe directly? Are there ingredients that play a binary role (so to speak) so they just need to be present regardless of the quantity? What am I missing here?
