Raven's Progressive Matrices - how accurate is this test?
I find that on this test specifically, I tend to score 7-15 points lower than I would on a test that tests for verbal ability, rotations, or speed, etc.
>>8565713
It's a meme tier test that is used to detect retarded neckbeard virgin. If you dont get 120 on it you're a retard.
>>8565713
It's the most accurate and least culturally-dependant of all IQ tests. If you tend to score higher on verbal than on the abstract parts, this means you are over-educated for your level of intelligence. The abstract parts are the measure of your raw brainpower.
>>8565719
Will doing more and more of these types of problems increase my score artificially?
Medical forums are crap and no one seems to have an experience to describe so I have come to you guys.
I'm on wellbutrin/bupropion, What will happen if I drink alcohol?
For extra information for a possible anonymous diagnosis: Cough syrup like mucinex makes buzz like I took prescription strength pain killers not unpleasant. also no increased heart rate leading to possibility of impending stroke.
I need to know since my 21st birthday is soon and I drink for the taste and to take off the edge when I feel too stiff.
I just got held against my will because I OD'd on bupropion

Dude they give those out like tic-tacs. Stop being such a pussy.
>>8568849
nah man, its to keep this lows from being too low. I know myself for a fact that I wouldn't cry over spilled milk
If I were to make a youtube video with gameplay, and I was able to change the color of the gameplay to make it look abit blueish, or purpleish, would it help at all? With color psychology having certain effects on feelings and stuff.
Blue would make it calmer, along with alternate music
But in general, yeah, look up colour psychology
>>8568485
If I had a video where im pissing people off, would having a blueish filter benefit me? Would people watch longer? Or just get tired and leave because of it?
>>8568487
Well no, its like asking if a cat will bite you if youre jabbing it with a stick while holding catnip
Hey /sci/, I could use some advice.
Long story short i'm going back to college, but i'm pretty apprehensive about it since I haven't done the school thing in a while. What would be a good way for me to refresh myself on math for example?
>>8568372
How old are you? When did you quit? At what level did you stop?
>>8568372
Find a math book, do problems, note which ones you missed, study the relevant concepts
It'd be helpful if you mentioned what degree you're going back to college for.
Explain to me why you can't see the sun or the stars in free-space.
>>8568351
Space doesn't exist, it is simply a projector pointed at the sky.
No aether in space.

Why isn't this standard science?
From the MSDS sheet for Ethanol:
>In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated
clothing and shoes. Cold water may be used.Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical
attention.
>get medical attention
So if I spill alcohol on my hand, I need to go see a doctor? I know they don't want to be held liable but how am I supposed to know when I'm ACTUALLY supposed to see a doctor when the go-to for literally EVERY chemical exposure is "seek medical attention."
its just a template. sds replaced msds in america anyway.
>how will i know
it will say something here is an example

Apparently ld50 in rats is about 3.5g / kg
That must have been a fun study
>>8568565
At least the rats probably didn't know what was going on by the time they were drunk enough to die.
I saw a thread about this on /pol/ a while ago, someone was asking how to "fix" Austrailia. An anon came in and said that if artificial mountains were built in the nirth of the country, it could change wind patterns and make The Outback arable. Is this true? How practical is it? How long would such a process take?
australia can't be fixed until the abbos are wiped out
>>8568127
That's racist
>>8568128
so?
1) Choose a random # between 0 and 1.
2) Choose another random # between 0 and 1.
3) What's the average difference between the two numbers?
Domain could be rational or irrational.. I don't think it matters.
bump
>>8568013
The average difference is 0 obv.
1/3

If the Moon had an atmosphere* like Earth, what would the weather be like? Would there be constant wind from the day side to the night side? Would the change in temperature between day and night be more mild?
*(ignoring that it would likely escape into space in reality)
>>8567859
But it has an atmosphere. It's just very thing
>>8567903
I know, which is why I said "like Earth."
>>8567936
(meaning similar air pressure and composition)
What's the answer to this?
>>8567824
2/6=1/3
50% either you live or you dont
(5/6)*(4/5)*(3/4)*(2/3)=33%
Herr duh herr...We don't know how it works, so let's call it Dark Matter...herr durr
The new "God of the gaps" - Dark Matter
>>8567774
The one property we do know is that it doesn't interact with photons, thus making it dark. Why are you so mad?
>>8567780
It is probably a racial thing.
You'll notice that scientists call it a "hypothesis" rather than a "fact".
When did you publish your first paper /sci/? My professors told me I'm a certified brainlet if I don't have one by the time I graduate.
>>8567724
if you haven't published a first-author paper by 5th grade you might as well drop out and flip burgers (if you even pass the interview)
>>8567745
fuck
Junior year of undergrad.
How does it press the car down? This looks like these pictures explaining why wings get lifted up.
>>8567720
It's similar to airplane. 3rd Newton law, wind "slides"up thus pushing the car down
>>8567720
See how all the smoke trails are higher after they have passed the car? The car pushing the air up results in the air pushing the car down, as per Newtons third law.
I don't get it.
Here just as in the car pic the air above gets stretched.
The car should be going up.
What does the appendix (then one in the intestine serve for)?
I had it amputated at age 10 and now I think it could be the cause my stomach always hurts, I always puke if i drink and i dont have appetite in the mornings
iirc it serves as a reservoir for gut microbes
not a biologist though
>>8567331
So as to be able to repopulate the gut if there is some kind of antibiotic event. Fill up all the space with safe microbes before something invasive comes along and establishes itself.
>>8567344
yes, this is how i understand it
is the first number 1 or 0
i think its 1 beacuse 0 is nothing so it can't be a number which is a thing
PLEASE HELP
Iirc this is actually one of those things that's pretty artbitrary. On one hand I agree with your logic, but then I don't know where zero belongs.
>>8567264
OP is correct, 0 is not a number, rather it is a mathematical symbol to describe 'nothing' which is why so many operations with 0 are undefined. 2x2=4 which has to mean 4/2=2. That logic has to work for any number. But 0 fails to do this since 2x0=0 but 0/0 != 2
>>8567374
what other operations are undefined with zero you sperg
