Send your General back to college. That should help increase the General's intelligence.

Read stuff you don't agree with then try to figure out where/how/why they have a different perspective.
Broaden your search, you can find some challenging cases where you must put yourself in someone's place to better understand their thought process.
Even if they are 'wrong', the experience is usually a valuable one.

like manifestos by crazies?

Good riddance.

It would clot, but by the time it does you would be long dead.

>>9094751
r u srs? body temp is the same all the time and varies only ever slightly and uncommonly. then how could blood clot?? stupid

>>9094751
try yourself

from what i remember from a botany course I took, some plants automatically open/close their leaves to conserve water vapour from drifitng out of their stomata. similar to if you have a prolapsed anus and sat down on a chair, they are trying to limit the amount of water lost during the night

also that picture is wrong, the darker part of the leaf is always up top due to a higher concentration of chlorophyll
i could be wrong but whatever

addendum:
i dont believe it is really understood how this process works.

same thing with plants always growing upward and towards the sun, nobody knows how or why it works.
you can take a seed, turn it upside down in the dirt, and the plant will literally do a double take and grow upwards to pierce through the dirt and make it to the sun.
put a plant in a box with a hole at the bottom, while taping the plant to the top of the box, and it will grow downward to the slightly sunnier hole, then out into the sunlight

crazy shit man, plants are fucking scary sometimes

Plants grow when it's dark. If a plant is covered by a shadow, it'll grow till it is no longer in the shadow. (it'd have to be a semi-permanent shadow as plants grow slowly) This gives the illusion or effect of growing towards sunlight.

The reason they grow in the dark is because they aren't photosynthesizing. Photosynthesis actually takes a bit of work, and it's easier for plants to concentrate on one thing at a time. Growing or eating. This process of pulsing working/resting is call respiration and it's something all life is required to do or else it doesn't meet the standard scientific definition of life.

Also, plants can sense gravity. They know which way is up.

I remember reading that there's no significant evidence that these kinds of games improve much of anything (outside the ability to play the games themselves). I mean it's better than doing nothing, but why not go improve practical skills like math or programming. At least considering there's a lot more depth and breadth, they have a much better chance of translating to general intelligence

Note that you need Engineering (500) to do this.

>>9094626
A lock engineer, obviously.

What Algebra have you had so far? If none, Fraleigh's First Course. If you have a strong background, you can read the chapters on groups from grad/adv. ug texts like Lang, Dummit/Foote, etc. If youre doing research I can't help, ask your advisor

>>9094595
Also a ton of other books. These are just the only ones I've picked up. If you look into Rubik & friends' book on the Rubik's Cube, you might find it surprisingly useful for studying finite groups.

>>9094452
Yes, get a piece of any material and then pour 100% pure concentrated autism into it. Then walk around saying "Ro-rosetta stone" and there you go.

just put a grenade in a latex glove, put it on, pull the pin, and wala

Conservation of angular momentum keeps it spinning.
It appears different because of frame dragging, where it literally pulls space around it (causing objects to be pulled around it as well as towards it). This causes it to lose its angular momentum slowly though.

This is going to sound retarded and probably is, but suppose that the spin dissapears as it becomes a point mass: whatever is spinning around it would maintain angular momentum, and possibly through some sort of black magic bullshit, even gain it, meaning there's still rotating mass about the singularity.

bait thread made it's first victim.

My post doesn't count cause I saged.

>>9094383

Do you ever wonder why there's moths in your attic in the dead of winter? They adapt to the cold dry environments so they can continue to piss you off, why can't squids adapt to cold low oxygen environments to piss you off?

Any algorithm or formula that generates an arbitrary score can be put on a range like that. just take the biggest value and measure the others relative to that. It seems in this particular case they're not getting 100% in any factor so they may be just comparing it to historical high (that would explain it but it may be other thing).
Then, you can make it as simple or as complicated as you like. For example 1 plebbit comment add 1 point to the score is a possible simple algorithm for measuring popularity

Your transcript will follow you, and you can't just not include it. There's a number of things you can do though. Try to figure out if you can take remedial classes for those classes you did bad in. If they're transferable between your community college and the university you were at, you can take the same class over again at community college and they will average the grade for that class. If you're not sure, talk to your old university and try to work out an agreement.

The other good news things are
- transfer admissions could be less competitive than standard admissions (easier to get in on the whole)
- most universities take at least a little bit of a "holistic approach" when looking at grades. So if they see that you didn't do well, then took a long break, and now you're getting straight As, they'll take that into consideration during admissions.

However, you must to include your transcript. If you don't, it's "lying about a transcript" (by omission) and will get you kicked out of school. The most important thing you can do now is do very well in community college this time around and mitigate some of the damage you did before through remediation.

>>9094257

it will but you can academically renew D's and F's. JC policies are different talk to a counselor. retake the D's you cant renew, do your best and dont let your anxiety from old gpa affect your current performance. youll be fine desu just stay strong.
