This might not be the appropriate board for it but I really need the advice.
So I found a local job that pays pretty freakin good for what I'm.doing. It's a technical support job. The ad comes off like I'll be installing software and hardware for boomers who don't know their way around a computer.
I figure anything I don't know I can just google a how-to and be done with it in an hour. Anyone with experience in the work can tell me otherwise? What to expect? The IT job is specifically for Point of Sale systems and VOIP installation.
This is the craigslist ad https://imperial.craigslist.org/sad/d/it-tech-needed-for-imperial/6284042184.html
desu it depends, if you have no real IT proficiency the whole "just google for directions and you'll be done in under an hour" approach may not be as smooth as you think it will be

I plan dedicating some time to study the subject before I call the guy. Is there any important terms that come to mind that I should know before going into an interview?
>>9163304
Also what tools should I download in preparation for this job?
How often do you get 100% on your exams? (for higher level courses...nobody is impressed with your 72 / 72 on that one intro to biology class exam)
>>9163251
I've literally gotten a hundred on every single higher level exam i've taken.
>>9163255
I always get above 100 and the professor begs me to collab on their next paper.
>>9163255
Major? and regardless I find that incredibly hard to believe. You've never fucked up? Never been sick on an exam day?
/sci/'s opinion on Khan Academy?
>bonus question: Have any of you fully completed every single subject on Khan Academy?
Shit tbqh, every question is basic, even the so called advanced calculus questions are uncomplicated and never helped me when frantically searching for a clue to a assignment question.
>>9163249
This.
It's objectively bad in comparison to other resources such as a legitimate textbook.
Helped me make a decent enough score on the MCAT to get into med school
Do SNRI's fuck up creativity and/or cognition?
Been suffering from crippling depression for 10 years (since I hit puberty, so its probably genetic), I always though I could just snap out of it, but not gonna happen.
I want to try anything and everything, I'm currently working on a tDCS device, but I'm waiting on a 5mA fuse.
>>9163186
They say that any possible dip in cognition caused by antidepressants is offset by the increased alertness and motivation associated with not being depressed.
I personally found this not to be the case, as any increase of mood I had on meds was offset by the jaundice and liver pain, but I was told that was a very uncommon side effect.
>>9163242
Thank you.
shameful bump for opinions
Can /sci/ debunk this?
http://pastebin.com/4qDqptnR
>>9163115
no since bio is not a real science
>>9163660
>no since bio is not a real science
Nice because this is not about bio. biology is a science (the greatest one). Medicine, sociology, psychology, etc. are not science.
>>9163115

Hey buddy, I'm gonna have to tell you to back the fuck off and never bring your bioshit 'round these parts again

Is a chem major conceptually difficult?
Also, how can I identify right now if I am a brainlet?
all undergrad majors are easy
>how can I identify right now if I am a brainlet?
I need this
9x = ab
where
1 <= x <= 9 and x is an integer tand a,b = base 10 digits,
where
a = x - 1
b = 10 - x
respectfully.
My question is why is that, also did I just discover a new mathematical law?
>>9162726
Wait, so you're claiming [math] 9x = (x-1)(10-x) ~ 1 \leq x \leq 9 [/math]? Because that doesn't work, put x=1 to see. You can recast you little equation in the form [math] x^2 -2x +10= 0 [/math] which has a discriminant that's less than 0, so it has no real solutions.
>>9162745
No, im saying that a & b are the digits, they're not multiplied together.
Look
9*5 = (5-1) (10-5)
= 45
Or
9*7 = (7-1)(10-7)
= 63
See?
Not really, for the one digit integers, multiplying them by 9 give us that integer multiplied by 10 minus the integer (10-x), because any number (from 1 to 9) it's obvious that the first integer is the integer minus one, for the 10-x we have the same reasoning
Is 0 a number or the absence of one?
>>9162387
imo its a number
but how do you define number?
Is an empty set a set?
>>9162387
a number
an example of absence is the 3
in 1245
What is /sci/'s preferred eye PPE? Dorky vent goggles? Safety glasses? Low profile goggles? Nothing?
i'm using these for years now
>>9162353
Full face respirator/gas mask.
Or swimming goggles with a half mask.
>>9162353
these because they're easy to get on and off
did we discover maths or did we invent it?
we invented an approach to describing mathematical phenomenon around us that already existed
We invented the definitions and axioms. We discovered all the implications.

You can be so helpful to contribute towards that end, while you happen to be around here.

Why do these organizations exist?
Surely everyone knows its purely for money right
>>9160775
Everything is purely for money.
What's the problem with GWC? I volunteer as a teacher with my local library's club and they seem pretty swell.
girls like to socialize
i don't see what's weird or strange about organizations popping up to accommodate unmet needs
Is there any benefit to changing your handedness before your brain stops developing?
>>9160678
ambidextrous i guess. my mom, due to weird ass religious bullshit, had her dominant hand (left) tied behind her back when her parents realized she was left-handed, now she is pretty ambidextrous because of it
>>9160681
I was born left-handed and forced to write right-handed like your mother. I want to go back to my left-handed routes but I read somewhere that ambidextrous people are generally less intelligent and more likely to be schizophrenic
>>9160678
You lose 8-10 IQ points and suffer memory losses plus increased risks of mental disorders.
The parts of the brain controlling fine motor skill (hand/finger use) have nothing to do with creativity and imagination.
GET IN BOYS. POLL TIME. Time to see what subject /sci/ has a majority in. Vote your subject.

Should I just give up on my dream of getting a PhD and working in research? All through school I loved doing Math, although I didn't try my hardest and got A's and B's, but now I am struggling for some reason. What do?
>>9157416
i know that feel brother, i am in the exact same boat i think if i can scrape by this semester with at least a c for my GPA i may continue my chem major but right now im seriously considering jumping in the dig media and coms cause animation is one of my passions and i always used a chem degree as an excuse to say hey look at those stupid art majors they'll never get a job but in reality i dont wanna do lame ass number crunching and research and try to impress a bunch of hard ass scientist for a shitty internship
If you can't get good grades even though you're putting in enough work, then yes, you should give up. If you're getting shit grades because of a shitty work ethic then you just need to sort that out.
Yea give up because you face the slightest difficulty, thats how you will achieve all of your dreams in life.
Dude, man the fuck up and study. Do you think all the researchers out their are fucking geniuses? Do you think doing research is like doing school math? You will always face difficult problems. Better start solving them now.
