this guy's still a meme? I remember watching his videos many years ago

>>9083778
he's at about 750,000 subs.

>>9083766
His videos are so repetitive and trite.

Probably zero, due to symmetry.

(2(tanx)^(3/2))/3

It took you more time to link me to this shit that wont get replies than answering the question. I understand it's a dumb question but you might as well just answer now that you are invested :^)

>>9083660
That's basic algebra properties.
Tips:
> (a^x)^2 = a^(2x)
> (x^a * x^b) = x^(a + b)

>>9083445
No.

And so no one can.

>>9083448
is there studies showing this?

>>9083455
Are we talking about the same thing? I;'m talking about those idiot YouTube videos that show some basement dweller claiming to have create half-human half-somethiung-else life in his basement by jizzing in a petri dish or something.

To my knowledge, nobody has done a study to demonstrate that every case of this is nonsense. Just the general fact of it being nonsensical is sufficient.

In relation*

Controls motor function to optimize chances of survival and reproduction.

Depending on your definition of brain, you could also throw some hormone regulation in there as well.

>>9083379
Cant u say it in one sentemce qith one function though?

>>9083245
Shoot dude

>>9083310
Can't, violates Asimov's laws.

>>9083321
Huh?

Thunderstorms need convective instability large enough to separate charge in the clouds. A couple hundred Joules per kilogram of Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) can do it. Moisture is the biggest contributor to CAPE. In the warm season, the absolute amount of moisture in the atmosphere is generally about 10 times higher than in winter due to warmer air being able to hold more moisture. If you’re near the Gulf of Mexico, thunderstorms aren’t so rare during the winter because sufficient moisture is nearby and the air doesn’t stay particularly cold for long periods of time.

Convective instability does exist sometimes in snowstorms, but it is within an elevated layer and the CAPE is rarely more than a couple hundred J/kg. It’s less clear how charge separation for lightning works in a snowstorm given the lack of graupel and hail to accumulate negative charge, but large snowflakes could carry the negative charge while ice crystals from broken snowflakes and from the freezing of supercooled water carry the positive charge.

>>9083434
How come there are a lot of thunderstorms in places like Nebraska where there aren't any large bodies of water nearby?

>>9083436
It's not like Nebraska is a desert. There's plenty of moisture in the air.

lmfao you guys are worthless, on 4chan mesuring your dinkies, can't even function around a women for goodness sake, leave this place, this place is for quarantine purposes to sanitize the scum of society, id take a dumb radical femineist over you cucks any day of the week

Fuck earth money. If you've got the infrastructure to be in space enough to mine asteroids you're using the material to build habitats. There's no commodity market on earth that'd survive the essentially infinite amount of resources you can throw at it. As the leading resource miner and habitat constructor you can basically dictate terms to anyone that wants to be in space.

Lmao this dude thinks diamonds are valuable

>>9082986
Flooding the market with diamonds will make them worthless.

Cheap but useful metals would be better.
But would have to be very large volumes...

This board is not for figuring out your career path. It says so right up there in the sticky.

If you can't read, or don't understand simple English sentences, then your IQ is not enough to study chemistry.

>>9082820
All the (patentable and profitable, non-self-market-destroying) low hanging fruit have been plucked. There's still a decent amount to be done, but it's a diminishing field.

And besides, I've become relatively convinced nature, after a massive number of iterations, has already traced out the solutions to most of our problems. We just refuse to use them. Take carvacrol, from oregano, thyme, etc. Potent antibiotic, eliminates even the most resistant MRSA strains, and many don't seem to have the means or machinery to develop any effective resistance. There is a reason oregano resists pests, bacterial colonization, and fungal growth. Carvacrol significantly improves post stroke outcomes via acting as a potent ROS scavenger, and mild VGCC blocker. Etc. Many other culinary herbs have similar active monoterpenes as well. Wormwood's history and ability to treat malaria and parasite infestation is well known. Mucuna pruiens used in place of L-DOPA alone for parkinsons not only works better, but does not produce tardive dyskinesia. Likely because it's full of gluthionine and some other shit.

List goes on and on. Plants are not magic. They require a means to exist and survive, like any other organism. They're composed of, and target, the same low level machinery we do. And they get results. Comparatively with synthetic drug design, we don't. We get side effects and variable outcomes.

>>9082844
We don't just "refuse" to use them.
Pharma companies are under so much financial pressure they'd do everything to develop any viable drug, and if drugs from plants aren't used that much it's for good reasons.

Oh and for the synthetic causing side effects I'd argue the opposite : we can create synthetic drugs and refine them to enhance them and make them behave exactly how we want. The plant based drug however won't go through this process, and if it is "naturally engineered" it's not in order to be an effective and safe drug for human use.
Plus I'd think that in practice it's the opposite. How many synthetic cardiac drugs have side effects as big as digoxin ? Why would most people rather get high on LSD, MDMA or adderall instead of datura, salvia or LSA ?

The thing about exams is that they are always the same to everyone who are taking them. Therefore, when you get a low score, you can't cry "it's not fair! Stupid professor!". Instead you should admit that you are just shit and should git gud.

This.
Once in 4th grade i had to derive the quantum harmonic oscillator, and i didn't complain.

Close the window when it's sunny, and experience the greenhouse effect live.

>>9082686
I'm not disputing it. Is it still the accepted model of how humans cause climate change?

>>9082688
kind of, yeah. Most people who don't believe in "climate change" as caused by humans view the greenhouse effect as an inevitable extreme of the planet's natural cycles, which we have little effect on.

I haven't really made up my mind one way or the other, but from what I understand, only idiots try to say the greenhouse effect is debunked. it's just whether or not we're causing it that's the issue

>And the last civil engineer I met basically project managed in construction. No design, no innovation, no nothing. Seriously, you could just learn that shit on the job.

Structural engineer here.

I know we're considered the retarded cousins of 'real' engineers, but OP, you're more retarded than we could ever hope to be.

I hope that I helped with your thread.

>>9082616
>doesn't know what he is talking about

I design things and have my field staff bitches monitor the construction so that I know it gets done the way I told them to.

t.engineer

I'm a field civil engineer with my uncle's firm. I count studs and make sure the foreman mixes the correct proportions of gravel and sand. I don't even care I make $50k a year. Job fulfillment is a meme most engineering jobs are basically sinecure positions.

What the fuck are you talking about?

>>9082604
Magnetic monopoles, obviously.

>>9082625
Well, classically they don't exist. We still don't know at other levels.
