Is showering daily just a meme?

I am strictly referring to the health of the skin and body.

For health reasons no.

But if you don't want people to tell you you should shower once a day you should shower once a day.

Cheap fuck that I am I actually tested this last week to avoid using water and buying soap etc.

After day 4 I could fucking stand the smell of my own body
>try to run, cant get away from yourself because youre inside of your own skin and it STINKS.

Maybe if I was bald it would be eaiser to stay clean?

Hi guys I have a question regarding regression analysis.

So, I have a model Y = -25.04836 + .7823*x1

however, after running generalized least squares the constant blows up and the resulting model becomes

Y = 125.588 + .556983*x1


further, the standard error of the constant term increases from ~5 to ~50


Essentially, what I want to know is what the heck does the change in standard error mean? what causes the increase in the constant?

https://www.quora.com/Regression-statistics-What-is-the-difference-between-Ordinary-least-square-and-generalized-least-squares

Not sure if you're confusing GLS with WLS, but in GLS your estimates (in this case for you, b0 and b1) will be inflated by the correlation of the errors, where greater correlation within the errors will lead to very large values for your coefficients and they'll lose their statistical significance.

I don't know what data you ran the regression on but I'm not surprised at how high the standard errors have become considering you only have a single factor; you likely need more to explain the variation in the data.

a stem student interrupts a lecture on non-binary genders.

student: there are only two genders.

prof: please don't interrupt. say sorry to the class.

student: sry

There are far more than 2 genders. In humans there are only 2 sexes usually, although intersex births do happen rarely. In plants sexes are all sorts of crazy configurations, and in asexual life there are no genders. This STEM student must have never taken biology courses.
>>
>>8695646
If transgenders are that way because their brains didn't develop in their respective organic sex in the womb for some unknown reason, why it's not considered a disease of the brain?

If you dug a 2000 mi hole in the earth what would the gravitational pull be at the bottom? The same as a planet with a radius of the distance from yours in the hole to the center of the earth? Is the mass above you pulling you upward negating some of that? What would the gravitational pull be if you built a 2000mi tower on the earth?

These instructions are using generalities:

For the tower 2000 miles tall, consider the Earth as a point. That point will be located at the Earth's center. The displacement from the top of the tower to the point will be 2000 miles + the radius of the Earth (~4000 miles) = 6000 miles. Next, find the mass of the Earth. Use the Universal Gravity equation to find the force of gravity acting on whatever body is placed at the top of the tower.

In considering the gravity's pull inside of a 2000 mile hole, set up an equation that condenses Earth's mass to a single point at the center of the Earth (call it G[1]) then subtract out the gravity that is above you using the mass fraction of the Earth in a conic shape above you(call it G[2]). The force of gravity in your hole will be G[1] - G[2].

>Is the mass above you pulling you upward negating some of that?
Nope. The mass on the other side cancels it out.

>The same as a planet with a radius of the distance from yours in the hole to the center of the earth?
Yes. Specifically the gravity due to all the mass in the sphere below you, concentrated at the center. Gauss' law in terms of gravity, basically.

To get the gravity on the tower just take into account its position from the center of the earth while using Newton's law of gravitation.

So I take it all this butthurt over Neil is a result of low IQ racist cognitive dissonance?

It's almost like polerinas are SJWs.

Hey /Sci/
I'm thinking of taking Adderall as I have ADHD. However, my mom is a psychologist and she advised against it. She claimed that ADHD medication turns people into robots. Is that true or should I just take it.

I take it for ADHD and depression and it works, but the effect is different for different people, you could try it once and see what happens
>>
>>8693879
it doesn't turn you into a robot, but it does fuck you up

you're permanently taking a drug that operates much like amphetamines neurobiologically. you'll form a dependence and it will cause structural changes in your brain that are hard to reverse, due to the way that a dopamine flood hijacks the normal learning mechanism.

If you post on a faster board you'll get a huge number of horror stories.

it is another one of those cases like oxycotin where drug companies pushed an addictive drug with modest benefit and lowballed the consequences to create a cohort of addicts(hence a guaranteed revenue stream)
