What would a climatologist study on a micro scale?
As it is just entertainment, I would use a large LCD/LED display with Earth seen from cosmos with an interactive ongoing simulation showing the rising desert border as temperature rises, more frequent and larger tornadoes, changes of sea level and flooding of current low elevation lands etc. etc. If it is already in the future, the Earth on display may have a different coastline than we know today.. The viewer will have WTF impression the first time will see the new coastline. Here you have the predictions: https://www.google.com/search?q=coastline+simulator+global+warming (switch to image mode) And video: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/8386736/rising-sea-levels-simulator/ e.g. Florida? What Florida? What Mar-a-Lago? ps. I am doing a facepalm on hearing somebody buy or build something in Florida..

Is it OK to delete C:\hiberfil.sys?
...You might get "access denied".. Copied from the net: "The default size of hiberfil. sys is approximately 40% of physical memory on the system. If you want to disable hibernate mode without turning off Fast Startup, you can reduce the size of the hibernation file (hiberfil. sys) to about 20% of your RAM in Windows 10." and "How do I change the size of my Hiberfil sys? Change the size of hiberfil. sys in Windows 10 Open Command Prompt as administrator. Type the following command- powercfg /hibernate /size <percentage> Hit Enter."

Quantum teleportation
How many particles is in your body? How many information can be send per second? Therefore, how long it will take to send all your state from B to A, or A to B? If somebody is able to do what you described, instead of teleportation, could make backup of himself or herself at exact date, and if accident happened and/or died, recreate body from backup.. If somebody is able to do what you described could run computer program analysing backed up data of the body to find cancer, mutation, anomalies, illness etc.

What would it take, how would you wish it to be ?
??? Internet forum (like this one) is an example of social network.. They are "pushing malware" to intercept your device and use it and eventually stole your money and/or identity. Hackers will automagically disappear? How? Honestly, using the net in ~ 1995 was a nightmare...

Military history/history
@studiot To be able to catch discrepancies between presented versions of the history, you would have to compare books, articles, movies and other materials in different languages (countries involved) about the same event. e.g. what China authors wrote about 1st and 2nd Opium Wars, versus what English authors wrote (in 2nd also French and Russian versions). The older event is analysed, they can't even agree about quantity of forces involved and casualties of some battle.. with even less data about civil casualties.. History of science is in completely different category than history of wars, conflicts and politics between countries and nations. It is history of discoveries. Unattractive for populist politicians to alter on purpose to push their version..

Military history/history
"History is always written by the winners". So, what you read and learn in historical books in majority are lies, (mis)interpretations, concealments of unpleasant facts, etc. etc. Distortion of the truth is part of "patriotic" political activity.. Weak minds are easy to manipulate by populistic politicians..

Implicit surface
Typical way ray-tracing is implemented is divide geometry to triangles (at startup) and find intersection between each triangle and ray (origin and direction vectors).

How do you manage anger for what is happening to this world?
..you are doomed not because water is shipped half the world in plastic non-returnable bottles... but because politician's the only response to any ecological (and not ecological too) problem is: INCREASE TAXES. Shortage of water? Increase water costs. Too much trash? Not segregated garbage? Increase garbage collection costs.. etc. etc. The all people on the bottom of economy, are exploited the most, and suffer the most, and they are discouraged from any pro-ecological activities.. When I see politicians talking about yet another increase of taxes, I know they don't have idea what they are talking, they don't have idea what they are doing. And ecology, global warming, is just yet another pretext to increase taxes.. Instead of true fix.. The example of ecological problem: do you want to have streets free from beer glass bottles? Instead of deposit for the bottle (which is transferred to the end client), shop should be able to sell only 95-98% of quantity of beers which bottles clients returned. e.g. in the first week they sold 1000 beers, they must get back 950-980 bottles back from clients, to be able to sell another 1000 beers the next week. If they won't collect them, they cannot sell beer. Shop will beg their clients to come with empty bottles. Otherwise they won't earn money on beer. Glass bottles returned to the shop, are reused without having to melt glass and/or fresh sand, which saves energy (coal/gas used to heat furnace etc). Trucks have to return plastic containers, with bottles, or without bottles, anyway. So more optimal is if they are full of empty bottles. It's fight between industry producing glass bottles with ecology. The less people will return empty undamaged bottles, the better for companies making these bottles. They will get broken glass from trashcans anyway, melt it, and sell it once again to beverage companies. In classical method of solving this issue i.e. deposit for the bottle, shops regularly refuse to accept empty bottles ("because they were not purchased here" or whatever they want reason). Clients are pissed off. They paid for beer in the bottle, paid cost of deposit for the bottle, and they can't get their money back. Bottles end up in trash, are smashed, and make even more garbage on the streets, and cities look like garbage dumps...

Seeds in nature...
Many commercially sold fruit trees, and other plants, can be asexually reproduced i.e. vegetative reproduction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetative_reproduction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_tree_propagation https://www.google.com/search?q=vegetative+reproduction+apple "Apples are mostly propagated by shield budding, which gives a high percentage of success. In shield budding a single bud along with a shield piece of stem is cut along with the scion and inserted beneath the rind of the rootstock through a 'T' shaped incision during active growth period." https://apples.extension.org/apple-tree-propagation/ "Asexual Propagation Because the seeds (sexual propagation) produced by apple fruits are the result of cross-pollination, the resulting seedlings are not genetically identical to each other or to the “mother” tree. To create multiple copies of the same cultivar, asexual (i.e., not sexual) — also called vegetative — propagation techniques are required, and apples are easily budded and grafted." You don't buy "apple tree seeds" but ready "apple tree seedlings". "Apple seedlings are small, propagated tree stems grafted onto a hardy root stock. Seedlings are ready to plant and grow in the home landscape once they have grown in a propagation environment for about one year. The seedlings grow into a producing apple tree six to 10 years after planting. Proper planting and care of apple trees at both the seedling stage and as the tree matures makes growing the trees a rewarding process." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafting "The technique is most commonly used in asexual propagation of commercially grown plants for the horticultural and agricultural trades. " Currently existing commercially cultivated fruit and plant species are result of centuries of careful breeding and mixing. Wild apples are (typically) small, sour and green. Farmers spend centuries to create big, sweet and red apples.

Linux - Which files execute the first instructions when calling the sftp or ssh service on port 22?
@Kartazion If your machine has HTTP/HTTPS server, you can make simple PHP script which will make/update file by file_put_contents() somewhere, and examine date and time of the last access of the file from bash script. If access time is more than 5 minutes ago, refuse SSH connection. So procedure of logging would be: open browser on mobile or so, visit your top secret PHP script location, then login to SSH or whatever else. If somebody does not have idea that must visit website with the right URI with script first, will be rejected.

Transgender athletes
@Holmes Thanks @studiot for bringing this interesting information. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/fish/facts/clownfish "Changing Sex" "Surprisingly, all clownfish are born male. They have the ability to switch their sex, but will do so only to become the dominant female of a group. The change is irreversible." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_hermaphroditism "Sequential hermaphroditism (called dichogamy in botany) is a type of hermaphroditism that occurs in many fish, gastropods, and plants. Sequential hermaphroditism occurs when the individual changes its sex at some point in its life.[1] In particular, a sequential hermaphrodite produces eggs (female gametes) and sperm (male gametes) at different stages in life.[2] Species that can undergo these changes from one sex to another do so as a normal event within their reproductive cycle that is usually cued by either social structure or the achievement of a certain age or size.[3]"

Transgender athletes
BTW, did not you hear about e.g. XXX, XXY, XYY etc. ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisomy_X "A relatively common disorder occurring in 1 in 1,000 women, trisomy X is rarely diagnosed; fewer than 10% of those with the condition know they have it. Diagnosis of trisomy X is complicated by its mild presentation; many girls and women with an extra X chromosome show no symptoms significant enough to inspire formal testing." (so there are ~ 4 millions worldwide people with it) "The first known case of trisomy X, in a 176 cm (5 ft 9+1⁄2 in) woman who experienced premature ovarian failure at the age of 19, was diagnosed in 1959 by a team led by Patricia Jacobs." (so it pretty fresh discovery and not fully well understood branch of science) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XXYY_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XXXXY_syndrome ...and more variations at references.. That looks like a fake created by mockers.. No, it's not a social construct. Some incompetent people and mockers who want to ridicule and disqualify LGBT, are persuading that it is a social construct and somebody can be artificially transformed by just discussion about it.. If they don't identify as male or female they should not participate in male or female sports either.. Otherwise they would have to lie that they are male or female, if they truly don't identify with these genders..

Why we are alone...
DNA is made of H, C, N, O, elements, but they are not just made of identical elements, but also isotopes H-1, H-2, H-3, C-12, C-13, C-14, N-14, N-15, O-16, O-17, O-18 etc. etc. If you take two (long enough) "identical" DNA chains and compare not just elements but also isotopes, you will find that they have different isotopes in different places in the chain.. So they are not identical at quantum level.. Simpler example, water can be made of H2O, DHO, D2O... add to it isotopes of Oxygen and you have even more possible variations. With obviously dominant (H-1)2(O-16). Just because these isotopes are the most abundant.

New to chemistry
Except everything around you is some kind of chemical or (usually) mixture of chemicals. Therefore to get pure chemical compound, you need to learn how to separate them. @Ethan1234 For a fun starter project, prepare sodium acetate. In the kitchen you can find acetic acid (vinegar) and sodium bicarbonate (i.e. baking soda) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinegar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bicarbonate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_acetate

Immediate vs long term consequences of actions
A person with bipolar disorder during mania phase can spend the all their money (and borrow more, if they can).. on completely senseless things.. Buy 15th unit of the same thing which person already has? No problem! Drug abuse and extensive money spending are two the most common and visible symptoms of bipolar disorder among affected people. https://www.google.com/search?q=bipolar+disorder+spending+money "Spending sprees may be a part of manic episodes for many people with bipolar disorder. Manic episodes of compulsive spending are a problem for many people who have bipolar disorder. During these episodes, people feel richer than they really are, more powerful, and willing to take more risks." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-01/money-budgeting-bipolar-disorder-mental-health/12495852?nw=0 "Kim Cochrane didn't think twice about giving away a car, an antique grand piano and lending thousands of dollars to friends. While she knows she can't really afford it, it's a symptom of a mental health condition she's lived with for more than 25 years. If you live with bipolar disorder or are close to someone who does, it can be very difficult to manage your finances."

Immediate vs long term consequences of actions
Some actions, or lack of them, might cause immediate death, so there must be taken immediate action to save life. In such situation brain orders production of hormones e.g. adrenaline: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenaline e.g. working memory, short-term memory disorders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_memory#Aging In this article you have catalog of disorders: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_disorder
