Me big time. But got my GED at 16 and had 2 years at a community college before getting addicted to heroin. Off heroin now but 26 years old on methadone and homeless with no family or friends to help me. My cellphone is everything to me, I make sure my bill is paid every month. I'm clean now and I want things to be better but I can never find the time or strength to pull myself out of this. I can't imagine trying to work while in this condition and the homeless shelters here in Denver are horrible. I want my mommy. Straight up I want my mommy.

Everyone has herpes too.

What matters is how active it is, and thus the symptoms it creates. In most of all the cases of each no symptoms will ever surface.

So how butthurt will everyone be once China starts using CRISPR to breed super geniuses and proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that intelligence is 100% genetic and heritable? Will all of the "any one can be a world class mathematician and contribute bro, you just have to work 16 hours a day" brainlets start committing suicide en masse?

I don't think you have any idea how CRISPR works if you think we're anywhere close to using it on dozens of genes in one human zygote, because that's what we'd need to do to create legit super-geniuses.

Anybody else forced into stem? The worst part is that I'm going to a top 10, which also happens to be high ranked in art.

>>8302828
Showering is overrated unless you really need a full body clean for whatever reason. It's simply wasteful and can actually damage your skin. It's much better to target body parts as needed, ass, pits, crotch and teeth are notorious for needing daily cleanings to prevent smell. Treat hair as you would any other body part, if you find it gross then clean it.

So I'm a huge idiot and having just finished Obduction it made me realize I know nothing about number systems in bases other than 10.
Could somebody explain to me how other number bases work and why they exist?
I know that binary is used for computing but why?
What is the point of say base 4 or base 60 (which I am told inspired the 60 seconds to one hour and 60 minutes to one hour system we use?)
Remember I am a moron so explain it me as such.

binary is used in computing because it's the only possible way to do computing
>this gate is off
>this gate is on
That's as complicated as you can actually get with circuitry, although ternary (base 3) computers have been proposed

>why do other number bases exist
that's like asking why different colors exist. they just do, and each one has its own way of being defined.
>>
>>8302801
In base 9 you count to ten then move to a new digit
0-9
10-9
20-9
Etc...
Is the same thing with other bases.
Binary is
0
1
Instead of a 2, you add a new digit
01
11
001
011
111 etc...

For other bases, it's the same.
Computers use logic. True/false statements are physically generated using circuits, so binary is natural.

Bases are also useful for modular arithmetic, which is what you have with a clock, and used in encryption.
You can add/subtract multiply/divide etc.. in different bases too.
There's many more examples, but that's a start.

Is this shit possible? I don't think so honestly. But what does /sci/ think? Can you build one?

Picture related, it's called the "solar express"

A concept on a train that would hurtle through space nonstop. Never decelerating at all. Using various small ion thrusters and the gravity of large celestial objects to adjust or change course.
