But this, though related to No Porn recovery, deserves its own thread.
Is it possible to alter your sexual preferences with drugs?
Apparently DeltaFosB is a protein associated with addiction formation, in food, sex, drugs, and gambling. It's triggered by overconsumption (e.g. ten tabs of porn) and accumulates with repeated overconsumption. So both the experience of the tabs and their content are tagged for future cravings.
How can I induce the accumulation of DeltaFosB?
If I wanted a new internet porn fetish, I could probably give it to myself the millennial way, but I want to dial things back to vanilla 3DPD.
Forcing myself to binge on tasteful nudes would still leave the 10 tabs element to the new craving.
10 hookers would be prohibitively expensive.
Can't I just pop a DFB pill with some homely tinder pickup and create a craving for vanilla sex in the missionary position?
Also, this kpop has a tear in her leggings. I should not be able to notice that.

It's come to my attention that a hormone called Vasopressin influences male sexual decisiveness.
It's that very distinctive "zero-ing in" feeling just before the clothes come off, and it comes in a nasal spray!
If I took vasopressin (or its synthetic, desmopressin) and a dopamine stimulator before a sexual encounter, I predict the encounter would take place on the counter, or possibly kitchen table. It sounds like the perfect cocktail for a studly demeanour.

What does /sci/ think of this UFO footage?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGIH7ufiBII
The full film with frame by frame analysis is at 2:45
You all always say that you can't take UFOs seriously because there's no footage, well there's loads but being 2016 and all it's mostly fake which is why I never post it. However this one was shot in 1950 and analyzed by many organizations over the years
The story behind it is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariana_UFO_incident
>Baseball manager, Nick Mariana and girlfriend inspecting baseball field before game
>Both see two rotating silvery discs flying at around 200-400 mph horizontally
>He happens to have a 16mm camera in his car boot, runs to get it
>Captures 16 seconds
>Shows footage to locals, they're amazed
>A local reporter hears about it and informs Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
>They call Mariana in for an interview
>USAF experts quickly look at film and say it's just two F-94 jets
>Mariana is angry however, he claims they removed the first few frames that showed the rotation
>Locals who saw it before the USAF agree
>USAF deny saying they only damaged by accident and removed one frame
>In 1952 the head of the USAF's official investigation feels the film wasn't studied enough and asks for it again
>Mariana reluctantly agrees so long as they promise not to remove any frames
>USAF looks at it again
>They retract their original explanation, jets weren't anywhere near the area at the time, light is too steady to be a reflection
>Douglas Aircraft Company, University of Colorado, UCLA, University of Arizona scientists all later look at film and agree the jet explanation doesn't quite fit
>Unexplained to this day, now in National Archives.
My initial personal view upon seeing the footage was that it was obviously aircraft judging by the speed and level flight. However seeing as the USAF themselves ruled that out I'm mystified. They do indeed look pretty disc-shaped.

So this Fall I'm starting in an Engineering program, hoping to specialize in Mining. Are there any tips on how to get 80's or higher while not burning out? Does group work make for the best methodology to get through the work or should I keep my to my hermetic ways?
Also, general thread related to Engineering.

The idea of cooling typically gaseous elements to a liquid/solid/superfluid intrigues me, especially:
>Although colorless at standard temperature and pressure, when cooled below its freezing point of 202 K (−71 °C; −96 °F), radon emits a brilliant radioluminescence that turns from yellow to orange-red as the temperature lowers.
Are there any images of this effect? (or any other solid/liquid noble gas for that matter)

I believe that physicists who take their models as literal interpretations of physical systems to be morons. For example,
> heuuuuu space and time are the same thing!
> heuuuuu spacetime curves!
Yes, with these assumptions/consequences, we find a very successful mathematical models that gives us correct predictions. However, this by no means ensures us that the physical system is in fact the way it is described by the model.
Another example: With Newtonian gravitation we may be able to describe the force of gravity to be proportional to the mass of the two bodies and the inverse square of the distance between them, but this doesn't IN ITSELF give us that the masses are "attracting" each other in any sense. Only that we may describe a force between them as defined above.
Yes, I'm triggered.
I find this scientific literalism to be damaging to science and disgusting.

same, and the MWI drives me nuts
MWI is terrifying, i don't see how any sane person would want to believe it
Why haven't we discovered the process that leads to self-awareness yet? The anatomy is there, the regulation of everything in our bodies is done through electrical impulses or chemical vesicles and the mechanisms for a large part of those are well-understood. So, how do a bunch of neurons sending APs across your brain form coherent thought and self-awareness? A computer is not self-aware, so processing information isn't what concerns me here, although it's still very interesting. I'm genuinely not trolling, it just baffles me to see it unresolved.

>>8094263
Too many variables.
Assume you're talking about a BS/BA in science. Does the science degree go to grad school, then do a post-doc, then stay in academia? Does the science degree go to industry after undergrad? After grad school? Does the science degree stay in R&D, or move to the business side?
>>
>>8094263
Trade school all day long.
At least then you'll have the option of doing a science degree afterwards and having a trade to fall back on. You'll be working well into your 70's these days, there's plenty of time.

Do what I do. Look up the math/physics dept on a random college's website, pick a likely email address from the staff directory and tell them you're a student in one of their classes and you're curious about _____.
Helps to cross reference with the course catalog, so you can see what classes they're teaching and lie more effectively. All that info is usually public.

Can someone explain me just how much Bacteria is there in our environment and when exactly does it get harmful and just what harm can it cause?
Some example scenarios:
You take your laptop with you in college. There you put it on the tables that are used by many people. Let's say you let a guy type on it who didn't wash his hands after the toilet. At home you take that laptop in your bed and after using it you don't wash your hands and continue to touch things inside your house. What can happen?
Or if you use the keyboard in the college library that probably hasn't been washed in a long time. And then with the same hands eat a sandwich.
Or you drink a soda that you bought in a store straight from the can.
Or you step over dried bird crap that didn't stick and then take those shoes inside home.
Or you have a dog that jumps around the house and your furniture.
Or you touch the faucet in a public toilet. Isn't that full with bacteria?
And just what would happen if you sat down with you bare ass in a public toilet?
And what if despite shaking your dingus the last drop ends in your pants?
What can happen if you eat food at a cheap place that doesn't respect hygiene too much?

You could attain a stronger immune system, or get a cold or things of that nature if you're unlucky. Basically unless the news headlines says 'SARS' , 'Ebola' or similar nothing very bad will happen as a result.
>>
there are bacteria everywhere, they live on you, they live in you, they eat your shit, they shit where you eat, you eat their shit, you cannot stop them, you need them, they can kill you
your skin is an excellent barrier, your immune system is an awesome killer, just wash your fucking hands, and don't be a germophobic dingus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_microbiota
>>
You are surrounded by bacteria literally every moment of your life. Countless bacteria are living and reproducing in your gut right now.
Passive exposure to bacteria is generally beneficial, and is considered essential to the development of your immune system as a child.
Bacteria are only bad when the wrong kind get inside you and reproduce without control.
For example, the Staphylococcus bacteria that causes deadly staph infections, lives natively on your skin. It's always there. It only can kill you if it gets past your skin.
Tl;dr, bacteria is everywhere. Pretty much if you don't suck on your fingers after touching dirty surfaces without washing, and don't have open wounds, you don't have much of anything to worry about.
What is the logic behind pic related?
I'm sure there is a reason for it, but I was never taught it and its always bothered me.
For example, whenever I do the quad formula
if -4ac turns out possessive (and following the Order of operations exponents, multiply, add/subtract) I always end up with something looking like 17 153, and multiply instead of adding.
Can anyone explain why we are taught to write like this?

8 -5(-5) if you follow the order of operations and multiply -5 * -5 the problem now looks like 8 25.
Basically why is it that when 2 positive numbers are next to each other, by default it's assumed you are suppose to multiply, but when 2 negative numbers are together you are suppose to subtract?
Example:
if a and b are both positive, and you see
[math]ab[/math]
You know to multiply, even though if you write it out ab comes out as
[math]+a+b[/math]
and
[math]-a-b[/math]
means
[math] -a - b [/math]
and not
[math] -a * -b [/math]
