would you rather be a wizard of numbers and data-addict and be able to predict the future

or

would you rather study the purest form of numbers, pure mathematics, so you can prove your intelligence

I think I just caught my microwave leaking... as it was on a bag nearby was moving.

As I tested it on and off it appeared the running microwave was the culprit.

How fucked am I? And would it cause the plastic bag to move in a specific spot...? The end of your basic American bread bag...

Honestly? If you've had that microwave for more than a couple of months, I'd say you have about a year left. Leaky microwaves have been proven to cause colon, lung, pancreatic and brain cancer in 100% of subjects exposed to them.
>>
>>8493459
Seriously? I don't even want to stand in the area to keep testing. I just noticed it for a second. Tried it on and off like twice and I'm pretty sure it was frying the corner of the bread bag..
>>
>>8493466
Yep.

My wife dies from stomach cancer that was likely caused by a leaky microwave at her work. You want my advice, don't even go to the doctor. Just live your final days in blissful ignorance. Dying of cancer isn't nearly as painful as chemo.

Is IQ flawed? I mean, if I did a lot of IQ tests I would surely get better at them. What would be a better way to measure "intelligence"?

>intelligence
The problem is that we dont even have a clear/objective opinion of intelligence let alone how to test for it.

So really we should be asking: What is intelligence?
>>
>>8493285
No we should really be asking pol to start asking "what is intelligence?" anyone who knows anything about the topic of quantifying intelligence know we dont even have a definition of intelligence from which we measure.

For my Differential Equations class we have to write a paper on an application of the spring-mass system equation. It doesn't have to be a spring and mass but it needs to use or be related to:

mx'' + bx' + kx = externalForce

Is this achievable?

For math absolutely, you don't really need any expensive equipment for it. For physics you're probably better off paying the tuition so you can access their lab equipment. It's harder to understand how things work from purely reading textbooks or watching videos but it's possible.

For sure. You're always self teaching, it's just about where you get your motivation from. Equipment is important too.

Does this help in digestion or has it any positive health benefits?

I'll have to bottom for a month if I won't be able to solve it.

if you assume that the situation is very poisson-y then you can model it as a queue with 10 servers, all currently busy and one customer currently in the queue.

look up M/M/1 queues and you'll probably find all the formulas you could possibly want already worked out by engineers

It wouldn't solve anything. There are plenty of solvers online, making it a captcha would only make them even more prevalent for use.

Jellyfish, like dolphins, evolved from animals that once lived on land and returned to the ocean.
They are cousins of the sea pig, which evolved from the regular pig.
