Why do ALL ingredients in toothpaste and mouthwash end up being toxic? We already know about the Fluoride bullshit, but look at everything else. Even if you buy the natural stuff, you can google them and people shit all over the ingredients in those too. I want to brush my fucking teeth, but I don't want to use toxic shit, and there is no way to wash all of it out of your mouth.

Have you tried rinsing your mouth? Heard that gets rid of the toothpaste
>>
>>9151916
Why do you think the flavor/smell stays after? It's because you can't wash it out. It goes into your gums, tongue, and teeth. It's impossible to wash it out. You swallow it.

Then don't eat the toothpaste?
Don't rinse like a retard?

At my university they arrange many conferences hosted by cuban researchers in mathematics. At the cuban national university they have a faculty of mathematics and computer science and they produce a lot of good research in applied math. Now, I am no fan of applied math but I find it interesting that mathematics research is thriving in a place people call a "shithole". I mean, their researchers can publish and travel the world to expose their research. So I want to ask:
Now that the dust has settled, what is better for mathematics, capitalism or communism?
I ask this because thinking about it, math academia is basically communism. We do not get paid for how much our papers sell, or how many students we attend. The government pays us a bimonthly wage that it collects from taxes. In private universities this is similar. The only capitalist aspects of math are people who write books and sell them, but they are a tiny tiny minority. I actually feel like I live in a mini-communist society (my university) that just happens to be surrounded by a capitalist government. What do you think?

Why doesn't the scientific community take UFOs seriously? I got interested after watching a programme and investigated it for a year, I used to think it was bullshit stories but I found that it's very distinct other paranormal things that it usually gets lumped in with.
I now think UFOs are real but obtuse people then pipe up "anything unidentified is a UFO of course!" So I will clarify; I think it is some real unknown phenomenon and not all just simple misidentification of known things
Aliens. I want to believe but I found zero proof of that. I gave up on the ET hypothesis after rumours that the Zamorra case was hoaxed. Maybe they flew past Earth once in a Neumann probe or something and one UFO case out there was really ayys but the claims thousands of them spent years joyriding on Earth in shiny flashing saucers make no fucking sense.
So I now think ball lightning makes a likely candidate. Makes sense, bright light in the sky, weird motion. The British Ministry of Defense report on UFOs came to the same conclusion that the 5% unexplainable sightings could be an unknown atmospheric plasma
So in conclusion, I took my time to investigate something that everyone else dismissed as bullshit and I found that it could actually be a little researched atmospheric phenomenon. I know it's a tinfoil meme but you really should keep an open mind.

A tactic used by deep state government to supress a story is by encouraging sci-fi writers/directors to make films over a subject.
The public who used to think that a topic was controversial or mysterious, now associates the subject matter with entertainment.

Yes government aren't hiding aliens of course but they do really supress UFOs for the obvious reason that it could cause mass panic over nothing.

How many ways do I place two queens on an 8 by 8 chess board such that they don't attack each other?
Answer: {[28×(64−22) (Queen on edge of board)]+[20×(64−24) (Queen one away from edge of board)]+[12×(64−26)]+[4×(64−28)]}/2
No clue how they got that.

I know next to nothing about genetics. But people always say that blonde hair and blue eyes are recessive genes.
Yet I know a couple where the girl has reddish-brown hair and brown eyes, and the guy has blond hair and blue eyes. And their child turned out to be a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Is that because the guy had strong nordic genetics, and his testosterone-ridden masculine body "conquered" hers?

Is that because they are correct? it's not the AI that is inherently racist or sexist. It is reality that has inherent differences between sexes and races.
Let's focus more on the science side of AI?

Fuck American universities. Imagine thinking that your retarded political """"cause"""" about transniggers or whatever is more important than allowing people to focus on their studies so they can actually do good for society. How do we scientifically end this retardation?

>What did you major in and why?
Mechanical Engineering because I wanted to keep my options open
>Did you enjoy university? Was it hard?
It was okay. Was a real grind at the end. Better than High School
>How were you compared to everyone else in your classes? Average? Above average? The best?
Slightly above average
>What do you work in and how is your pay?
I make $100k+ a year being a glorified maintenance man. Its comfy but can be a bit boring. I only do a couple hours of real work a day and spend the rest shitposting or looking at car parts on Amazon.
>Do you regret anything?
Ehh, kinda wish I had just sucked it up and knocked out a masters because I'm going to have to go back eventually if i don't want my career to stagnate.
>>
>What did you major in
Physics.
>and why
I did an Astronomy project at school in my last year and so that was close to my interest
>Did you enjoy university?
Yes
>Was it hard?
Relative. But no, not really. The first 3 were a bit hard.
>How were you compared to everyone else in your classes? Average? Above average? The best?
Above average
>What do you work in
Plasma chemistry (PhD), statistics (side jobs), Quantum computation (mostly just coding here), Augmented reality (my job now)
> and how is your pay?
Extremely good
>Do you regret anything?
Not learning programming earlier. I wish I had started with Haskell, then Python and then C for the first work cases. I also regret not having bought bitcoin when I first heard about it in 2010. I also dumped that one girl because I finally had a flat and wanted to be a slut and not tied down. Probably a bad move. Maybe I should have been going to the gym earlier. Then again, I think you gotta focus to get good, and I was focused most of my life. Now my interests spread out, and I feel that's actually a bad thing.

Now I have some questions on the ethyl alcohol use.
1. Using 98% Ethyl Alcohol, isn't that just to much?
2. Where can I get the right one? Who sells it in the Uk?
3. Will I kill myself?
Thanks, anyone here do Liposomal Vitamin C as well?

Epistemology, mereology, there is a lot more in metaphysics than just ontology.
And analytical philosophy belongs on /sci/, /lit/ is for classics and meme books, so for /his/ but the level of discourse is lower.

So what about an "infinite set"? Well, to begin with you should say precisely what the term means.
Okay if you don't, at least someone should. Putting an adjective in front of a noun does not in itself make a mathematical concept.
Cantor declared that an "infinite set" is a set which is not finite. Surely that is unsatisfactory, as Cantor no doubt suspected himself. It's like declaring that an "all-seeing Leprechaun" is a Leprechaun which can see everything. Or an unstoppable mouse is a mouse which cannot be stopped. These grammatical constructions do not create concepts, except perhaps in literary or poetic sense. It is not clear that there are any sets that are not finite, just as it's not clear that there are any Leprechauns which can see everything, or that there are mice which cannot be stopped.
Certainly in science there is no reason to suppose that "infinite sets" exist. Are there and infinite number of quarks or electrons in the universe? If physicists had to hazard a guess, I am confident that the majority would say: No. But even if there were an infinite number of electrons it's unreasonable to suppose that you can get an infinite number of them all together as a single data object
