Climate scientist: I have cancer and my dying wish is for you to believe in global warming
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/17/opinion/sunday/cancer-and-climate-change.html?_r=1

AGW skeptics: We're sorry you have cancer but that's not how science works.

Climate change cultists: U R MOKKING DYING SCIENTIST CLIMAT E CHNAGE DENYERS!!!!!
http://nasawatch.com/archives/2016/01/desperate-clima.html
http://grist.org/article/climate-deniers-attack-nasa-scientist-dying-of-cancer/

This is the sort of cheap tactics I would expect from creationists. It's just the climate change's cultists version of "believing in evilution makes baby Jesus cries". Just remember, someday, Ken Hovind will die. And while he's on his deathbed, will you hear his pleads to believe the universe is only 6000 years old?

Pic: Actual failed climate predictions for those that think comparisons between creationism and climate change "science" is unfair.

Climate change is up there with being scared of DDT and secondhand smoke. It's not supported science, it's just alarmism.

who the fuck even cares about clim8 change. climate changes all the time. yesterday it was raining, now its windy and clear. see ? no problem at all.
climate changes, it's what it does. stop getting batshit scared of everything all the time cuckbird

Oh I love these threads. Lets give governments trillions of dollars in taxes which they aren't really accountable for. If you care about the environment support causes that actually produce results, I would throw money at an organization that was actively cleaning up things like the great pacific garbage patch. Carbon credits are a ponzi scheme and will never save this planet.

TVs emit a lot of harmful radiation, smaller eyes let them watch anime all day without getting eye cancer. This is especially helpful with shows that are extremely carcinogenic, such as haremshit or shonenshit.

I finished integration by parts, u-substitution and other equivalent calculus tasks in high-school.

However I believe I need to practice problem solving with these techniques. Any good resources on that? Like physics problems etc ALL involving pure calculus

I've never bothered practicing those integration techniques beyond basic familiarity. Sure, I know about trig substitutions and partial integration and partial fractions and shit, but whenever a complicated integral comes up I just put it into Mathematica. What's the point in spending pages doing tiring computations (while risking to make some sign error somewhere or whatnot)?

What programs do you guys use to draw simple diagrams like pic related? I don't need something too complex, but it has to be able to label things like angles. TikZ doesn't seem to perform as well unless you spend over 50 hours learning it.

The only complete version I can find is this one, but as you can see there's a couple of problems with it.

The edition where you come up with the axioms yourself and the prove everything on your own.

Also oil is organic shit its not radioactive waste like some people act.

I know a couple people here work at spacex as engineers but what about the technical side?

I'm a qualified avionics tech with multiple nasa/mil-std certs and a math BS.
Woild working as a tech there be worth it? The shifts are quite long and the pay isn't indicated but the idea of working on F9s and FHs eventually sounds pretty cool.

Tl;dr: Does anyone know anything about the technicians work environment at SpaceX?
