Delusional? 8
Crazy? 10

Don't put stock in anything sci has to say. Most of this board doesn't know anything about science or new technologies.

You save 1 unit, cyborg stuff would've cost 1 unit at this point for each unit you save.
You save 1 unit, cyborg stuff now costs 2 units at this point for each unit you save.
You save 2 units, cyborg stuff now costs 4 units at this point for each unit you save.
You'll never be able to afford it, even if you lived in almost poverty to save.

Low capacity for abstract thought.

It's just simple geography.

I don't get why people keep making a big deal of this.

Wherever the land was plentiful and there was opportunities for trade and such, civilization flourished and from there came many innovations.

Wherever there was nothing else but mountains and deserts the sheep herders remained sheep herders.

Think of this. Europeans accomplished plenty of things. They had multiple successful civilizations. The Chinese also had multiple successful civilizations. And the Indians as well. And the Arabs and all around the Levant there were also multiple successful civilizations.

Then you have Mongolia, and all the 'stans surrounded by all those successful civilizations and they accomplished nothing. Why? Because they are hostile countries. Not really fit for human habituation.

shameless bump!

>>9067419
Not really. I guess you could use something like expanding plastic foam, but if that goes off when the reactor hasn't been scramed you're gonna have a bad time. In addition if the plane hits the ground fast enough it will do fuck all.

>>9067419
if you were to have meltdown in flight hypothetically then you're fucked anyway.

> When did you realize IQ and the rest of psychology was pseudoscience?
don't worry, you'll grow out of it eventually

>>9066988
read about karl friston; he's the newton of neuroscience. psychology is naturally anchored to this and his principles apply to psychology foremost.

I don't think its pseudoscience since it will predicts how well you do academically.

Portals conserve momentum.

>>9063390
No they don't, momentum is a vector and portals can instantly change your direction.

we lost immunity and resistance to diseases and parasites in meat when we switched to cooking meat

Bears have parasites. Your argument is invalid.

You'd possibly already be dead. I don't think you are telling the truth. At what point do you not just buy some sleeping medication or stop stressing about the petty crap going on in your head that keeps you awake?

>>9072990
I swear I have not slept. I don't need to sleep to function anymore, I can't get comfortable enough to just close my eyes and nod off

>>9072980
You probably have episodes of micro-sleep where you pass out but don't remember losing consciousness. Its very common with severe sleep deprivation.

I used to have a friend who would stay awake for days with amphetamines and he would occasionally have lapses where he would go AFK on chat apps and then come back some 30 minutes later and he wouldn't remember passing out. There is a point where nature takes over and overrides all mechanisms keeping you awake so that you can get critical REM sleep otherwise you will die.

>>9072410
That is a piece of concrete my friend. Globs like that are poured into holes to give posts and street signs foundational support. you can sometimes find them in empty lots where a building deconstruction has been done.

Not to sure about that.
as I stated the pictures don't do the object much good. There is no Street or nearby city or town if it was in a Development Area I would suspect it would be concrete however considering this is in the mountains with no homes around this raises my suspicions I have other specimens of a similar nature.

>>9072422
not him, that's a hunk of concrete.

might as well ask why did we evolve to get cancer and aids

>there are things that are just out of the grasp of objective answers.

That sounds to me like you gave up. Everything has an objective answer, you are just too lazy to find it. I think you should go back to the coal mines, where you belong.

time cube guy was right all along

Because each country's government chooses what time zone to be in.

Timezones are shit idea in a globalized. We should all just live in UTC.

The Quantum Enigma

http://quantumenigma.com/nutshell/

I'd classify it as pop-sci, but it is of the highest level. There is no bullshit, analogies are incredibly accurate to the actual theory, but the analogous stories are within reach of anyone with a high school education.

I don't know if it is pop-sci, but Jurassic Park's book is pretty amazing, it does concentrate on the science parts way more than the film.

Really? You're more concerned about this than the poor person who died? Kill yourself fucking scum.

>>9070491
hes fucking dead you retard, what does being concerned even do at this point?

>>9070491
>why do you care about your health? you should filter out those concerns for someone who has no health to worry about anymore

is this what brainlets actually do?

>>9070429
well it's not unbelievable, considering some doctor gave himself an appendectomy

>>9070429
Why didnt he just take a cadaver anatomy class?

>>9070442
It was before the time or when the infomation provided wasn't as accurate as it could have been, I belive it was told because it allowed for advancement in this area of medicine

those theorems are why string theory is true but unproven

none, practically speaking.

you can cook up some very goofy models of phenomena (that are nowhere near reasonable to assume) and there you'll find that you can pose questions about the systems (and by extension, about the described phenonomena) that can provable not be answered.
(Things like questions regarding the eigenvalues of very exotic hamiltonians)

For example it directly follows from the incompleteness theorem that in three space dimensions and time, given an initial velocity field, there exists a vector velocity and a scalar pressure field, which are both smooth and globally defined, that solve the Navier–Stokes equations.
