If you're spending less than about $300 all the scopes you can find on ebay or amazon are about all the same. Ebay, you might find some old used stuff from an actual lab, but it will cost more.

try to get a second-hand expensive one, because the cheap ones are all shit

If you don't need it for serious work just go to amazon or ebay and buy a childrens/bigginer glass.

If you only want small magnification (like 60-100x) you can buy an electronic LED microscope for pretty cheap (less than 20USD for 100x magnification) and they're also a lot easier to carry around to a river than a full sized one

For example something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0066KS7B2/

Sure, not great quality but it's cheap and it will let you see fly dicks

Gf is studying that shit
I gradualy went from "Wow this is indeed a very interesting subject" to "oh boy I never want to even think about that field anymore"

We don't want to think it be like it is, but it do.

The only part that disturbs me is how buggy and badly designed the functions of the brain all. Memory is sloppy and error prone, vision processing makes mistakes easily, etc. It really has shown the bad parts of its cobbled together design

What about people like Leibniz and Bertrand Russell?

Most high school students don't care about the actual reasoning and why they do when they do. They just want to know how to do it for the test. The teacher just doesn't want to waste their breath on something no one's going to listen to

Whats wrong with that?
Seems decent for a high school course

Some things are physically impossible, doesn't matter how often you try

How could anyone possibly know the answer to this?

>>9077846
In the end, it doesn't even matter....

Anyone who does this can't actually help you anyway. This is what TAs say when they don't remember because they took the course 5 years ago, but don't want to look like a dumbass.

>>9077706
what you don't understand is your TA learns by reading books, because there's hardly anyone to teach what he's trying to learn

man up

>I'm not paying you $20,000 a year in tuition fees for you to fucking tell me to go read a book if I ask you for help.

I'm not grading 100's of papers and answering 1000's of stupid questions that could be cleared up in chapter 1.

I got +130 myself and if you cared to check what IQ actually measures (despite the name) you'll see it's a construct unrelated to intelligence.

Too much of a brainlet to realize that?

I oppose the multiverse stupidity AND am for free will.

Amplitude is distance from equilibrium to peak dumbass. It's constant unless the wave is decaying, and even then it's not oscillating.

Well, 80k in Australia is like 60k here, so the difference isn't all that profound.
>Do professors just get paid a gorrillian so there's huge competition or something?
No, there's huge competition because:
1) academia is becoming a form of welfare for "achievers" who like to be given a scratch behind the ear and a gold star after they do (good thing).
2) Schools are becoming saturated with people who have followed an educational pipeline for their entire lives, have no idea how to exit the Kafkaesque operant conditioning chamber that society has created for under 22's and just assume that academia is a decent pathway into adulthood. So they just keep on chasing higher level degrees until they niche themselves as far as they can niche and the only place to go is sideways eternally.

The issue is too many people want to be students for the rest of their lives and see "bein uh professor" as a way to achieve this goal.

Hit me in the feels.
Started my PhD because I couldn't find a job.
Now I'm close to finishing my PhD and have applied for like 40 industry jobs but only got one callback
