What did you mean by this?

My mother was working on her AS in her 50s. I knew plenty of adults at CC who were getting degrees, one started at 52 I think, part-time. Uni is incredibly youngfag territory, diversity is a fucking joke.

Most adults
>worked for a while but want a degree to advance
>were in the military or something and thought something was cool
>had a child or children and one parent either has time+opportunity to study, or needs to increase revenue in the future (i.e. a full-time adult with children "shouldn't" be going to college)
My CC was very accommodating and had great teachers. (people who's job and desire was teaching and interacting with students, not research) Uni has far fewer adults, although I've met some. Usually their partner works (if they have kids), or they're single and going to uni, but getting into the huge debts, even if they're working full-time (very uncommon). More schools are offering night and online/independent courses, for some classes.

Most adults I see going to university go for business, legal, or health field. I've seen a few adults in Engineering fields, but they're still easily exceptions than a norm (Electrical Engineering, and I think we had 2-3 people over 30).

A lot of philosophical questions are dead. In the light of evolution, it is clear there is no meaning to life. It also contradicts pretty much all religion except some forms of deism. Meanwhile, evolution shows us morality is merely socially constructed or perhaps even to some extent genetic.

we can shoot supersonic bolts with explosive tips

>>8174286

a railgun is basically just a ballista with magnetic strings and electric springs.

>>8174296
the implication was that you'd use string, muscle strength and inert bolts.

Nope

If you want to be better at physics and math, the only way is by doing more physics and math. Exposing yourself to more concepts and problems is a very effective way of getting out of this rut. Good luck!

>>8174229
Si. I realized that I was just being spoiled.

>Boohoo I don't get to do what I deem most important because I'm not gifted enough

Every small contribution counts for something, even if it is invisible to others, and maybe even to yourself. Get over yourself. There are plenty of other ways you can contribute to the world, and doing so shouldn't necessarily be what you _want_ it be or even make you feel good about yourself.

You can't always get what you want, and you need to get over that.

By going through it. It's not like it's a HUEG WALL OF DEATH.

For best results don't pass through it during a solar storm.

Can anyone calculate how much doritos are in that tub?

ugh

There's a fundamental flaw in humans.

The only cure for this flaw is a total destruction.

Welfare requiring irreversible sterilisation would do the trick in five to ten generations.

>>8174122
yeah this is pretty sad, not surprising but sad

>>8174089
Learn how to use a question mark?

im typing with one hand and its urgent.

>Could you cause cardiac arrest by stimulating the vagus nerve
Yes, and it's nothing new. Some judō choking techniques do just that.

>>8174061

You can cause a heart attack by just punching someone in the chest at the right time.

Seems a bit like overkill, considering they're already probably entering syncope, which normally results in unconsciousness. Do you agree?

>>8173941
No. While they are electromagnetic phenomena, light waves themselves have neither electrical charge nor a magnetic moment.

In other words, light rays pass through (static) electromagnetic fields just fine without interference.

>>8173941
They can however rotate the polarisation axis of say linearly polarized EM waves.

>>8174010
Faraday rotation.

> Is money high score of smart people?
Its nobody's fault that you grew up not knowing basing money working.
It should be rudimentary subject in primary and high school instead we are teaching kids how many sheep Australia has.
I am only realizing this at age of 25 and I deeply regret not giving interest in economy at a younger age.

>>8173953
So basically, if we let go of our desire to know more, we will get rich because there will be other idiots willing to spend hours learning something new just so that we can collect all the cash while he still gets paid his regular monthly salary?

Please answer.

Surely this has been studied extensively?

Tension/ release. It fulfills an urge. Holding your piss all day and taking a massive piss doesn't feel good, it feels good relative to the intense urge of having to piss.

Gauss, thanks.

you have an open circuit

earth ground is just a zero reference (and return path) for AC power distribution systems.

Would'n there be enough free electrons in the ground/earth that a few of them would move to the positive terminal of the battery where is an abcence of electrons?

Maybe they do.
