if -3 x 4 means you owe 3 things 4 times, then what does 4 x -3 mean?

>>8588182
Make a number line. Watch the magic unfold as you move to -12. Complete wizardry

>>8588245
Google Associativity it's usually on the first page of every single Pre Calculus book

>>8588182
3x4 means you have debited 4 dollars to your asset account 3 times.
3x(-4) means you have credited 4 dollars to your asset account 3 times.
(-3)x4 means you have reversed 4 dollar debits to your asset account 3 times.
(-3)x(-4) means you have reversed 4 dollar credits to your asset account 3 times.

>What can i do to become smart
You must be very calm and focused when you do mathematics (sorry you actually have to put effort in it).
Everything follows from there.

I need more information before I'm willing to invest my autism in solving your problem

>>8588008
such as?

Does the game randomly select what collection it's going to give you an item from, and then randomly choose which item?
Does the rate at which a given collection is chosen depend on how many items from that collection you decided to throw in the crucible? (i.e 3 items from collection A makes it three times as likely to be selected as collection C)
Does the act of crafting 10 items always result in one item being created, or can you get more than one?
What fucking game is this anyway?

>>8587880
It is everything else

A void.

>>8587884
This one is an obvious negative.

>>8587882
Cleverly worded, but still a negative.

>>8587863
What is your point?

>>8587875
What would happen?

>>8587883
Pretty much nothing. What is supposed to happen?

>>8587539
They're both cool but cryptography seems way more interesting.

I'm not a math or cs major though so take that with a grain of salt.

>>8587539
Cryptography is going to have to solve stupid problems.

>>8587539
Cryptography also uses a lot of formal semantics. Formal semantics in itself is a very interesting field.

dude intelligent design lmao

talk about a mind fuck

i too would be interested in that kind of research

Gustav pls go

Most of the times the fact that water can't have a memory is enough for me.

>>8587269
Maybe the fact that that's literally where the term 'snake oil' comes from

Eat a ton of that shit

Geneticist here. You'll need to do a 3 point test cross on the AB locus to determine what kind of clone you'll be able to put through a punnet square. This is a highly complicated endeavor so forgive me if you're having difficulty following such advanced scientific concepts. You see I went to a state university where I payed money to play flash games on a laptop regarding breeding flies. When I told my professor that this was dumb and a waste of my time she responded by telling me I probably shouldn't be in college.

>>8587216
Even if you clone him it won't be the same cat, there's more to personality than genes. You might as well get another cat of the same breed.

>>8587231
This is true. Gene doesn't account for scene nor meme.

Sorry, but no, you're not. No one knows how languages began. All proposals are pure speculation. Even so, there are two major approaches, as usual, gradualist vs saltationist. Which approach people take is mostly based on their approach to the language faculty. If you believe the faculty of language is fundamentally simple, e.g. just the simplest possible structure-building operation Merge, then you're more likely to be sympathetic towards the saltationist approach. If you believe the language faculty is more complicated, for instance in lexicalist grammars like construction grammar, then you're more likely to lean towards the gradualist approach.

I just want to know when the names for genitals were invented. Dicks, cocks, willies, helmuts, penises, benises and shit.

In written language at least, historical evidence, as well as some anthropology with primitives, suggest colors came last.

Oddly, in ancient writings, the primary colors almost always begin red (I suppose, blood being an alerting color). Green usually shows up some centuries to millennia later, with blue being last (excluding black and white - the sky, incidentally, often being described as white, before blue is 'invented').

Further, language affects perception fundamentally. Often, if you take someone from a primitive tribe who knows only his own language, and show him a bunch of red squares, with one being blue, he won't be able to identify which is different from the others. Yet, if they have a word for green, he'll find a single green square among a bunch of red squares just fine.

The origins of language are mysterious, for obvious reasons, but we do know language isn't instinctual, at least if you don't have hearing. Communication of some sort always is, but among those that grow up deaf with no exposure to sign language, all communication, and indeed, thought, is through a series of mimes and only pertains to reenactment of common experiences. In those instances where such a person learns signing later in life, they often describe their thought process before then as being a collection of images, rather than words.

So yeah, it's all weird.

Caloric deficit

Eat less
Do cardio and ab workouts

ez as pie

No, fucking retards, i mean is possible to combine a diet with intermittent fasting, cardio and lifting.?

welp, you'll never have quads like these

Because they drank all the glass of natural sciences instead of taking the first gulp and completing with a glass of their own farts.

God is real

which way is backwards?

>>8586746
Huh. Do you think any creature out there perceives time backwards?
Since time is all perception of chemical rates of change anyway, what if something out there just has a set time frame memorized and plays it all in reverse with their brain tricking them on the actual direction of time flow? What if we do that and don't realize it?

>>8586746

Doe a rocket engine push with the same force constantly? Does that mean it delivers a constant amount of energy to the vehicle per unit of time?
If so, why does the vehicle's energy increase quadratically?
