iq is just a number.

Hard work beats natural talent every time. Stop being such a sad kunt and apply yourself.

You can always work at the budweiser bottle factory checking for cracks

I'm a grad student and I'm not very smart.

There's a lot of grunt work to be done in science these days. You can even get a PhD out of the deal.

That meme bothers me.

Nickel & Cadmium are in batteries, shitty ones though. Meme-ion is what all them use now a days.
Butane, lighter fluid? Cool meme.
Methane, sewer gas? It occurs naturally and is even stored in banks of frozen water in places far up north, around Ålesund-north.
Stearic Acid, candle wax? Yeah, but stearic acid is also found in food as a saturated fatty acid, what's wrong?
Ammonia, toilet cleaner? Ammonium Hydroxide is used as an anti-bacterial agent in food, nothing wrong.
Toluene, it's a pretty good organic solvent, but are you actually going to breathe it in? lol no.
Methanol, rocket fuel? Yeah, you're not going to drink methanol, so why are you so worried?

Probably not measurably. Those images are just a scare tactic and somewhat misleading. They don't actually "add" anything to cigarettes besides menthol flavoring (sometimes). All the chemicals they name are just created when the tobacco is burned. The real reason cigarettes are bad is that when you burn things it creates smoke that is actually made of tiny solid floating particles. And those tiny particles clog up your lungs and stop the flow of oxygen, and also cause cancer. Smoking leaves and wood would have the same negative effects.

that makes sense thanks. I don't smoke so I'm just curious about where the problems come from. Is this why vaping is seen as "better"? Because it's just vapor instead of real smoke?

If you were doing what was expected of you to the best of your ability and fucked up while doing this, there's no blame on you. Unless you explicitly signed a "yes I know what I'm doing and will take full responsibility for handling this stuff" waiver, I guess.

>>7772225
I hope you're right. I've been told that the value of some of those samples might have been in the six-figure range since they were decades old and not even available anymore. If I have to reimburse even a fraction of that, I'm pretty much fucked for life.

Increasing world population =/= CO2 emmission

increase in circle jerking atheists ≠ scientific progress

Increase in gains =/= more womyn

My IQ has decreased by 1 standard deviation after reading your retarded question. Thanks op.

when I was little my parents thought lifting weights would stunt my growth and make me stupid, so they only let me play soccer.

Working out will keep you healthy and help you live longer. It's satisfying as hell and makes you look better.

>>7770297
Yes.

>>7770298
explain

>>7770301
No.

>>7769873
Not that anon, but i'm curious, is it possible to give up social life temporarily to pursue grades? Would that loneliness come back to fuck your efficiency up in the long run?

>>7769874
Why do you have to hijack the thread with your /r9k/ shit?

>>7769875
Nah man, i just want to stop going out with friends for like half a day, and then coming back tired and exhausted, then sleeping and wasting away the day.

how do I find a function given its fourier series?

What came before the big bang?

intuitively:
the wavelength of a light wave is the distance between the "peaks" of the wave, right?

If study a beam of light that comes from the left towards the right with a wavelength [math]\lambda[/math], and you move to the right with speed [math]v>0[/math], do you agree to say that you will meet more peaks than me? (since you are catching up to them).

Notice that if light moves at the speed of light, it doesn't mean that the peaks themselves move or move at the speed of light.

>When the fuck will humanity gtfo this rock and start building habitats in space and on other planets?

When we decide either to coexist peacefully as a species, or learn we have no more resources to exploit.

>it just reminds me how fucked we are if we continue to stay on this rock and disperse a bit

Invoking the spirit of Sagan in my response, it would be advisable to venture out to the stars if we want our species to thrive. But like all infants we must first learn how to crawl before we walk.

>It's just frustrating to see so much futile bs daily as the next big thing or the current hot topics

I stopped following the mainstream media about 8 years ago. Didn't take long afterwards to purge the garbage, manufactured drama and other deceits from my head. It was like a new awakening, the world is nothing like what the mass media wants you think it is.

Instead of being force fed soundbites and other lies, I started traveling. It turns out the world is far more exciting (and in one case, horrifying) than what the pundits say on television, radio, internet, etc.

Until we can surpass the digital excesses and the kaleidoscope of lies as a species, we will never go further than the dirt underneath our feet into space.

>>7769045
I can agree with those points you make, and I've experienced the last point you made. I don't watch TV and haven't for years. Between my lurking on the webs and my armed forces experiences deployed I've come to see many aspects of the world that horrifying or otherwise disturb me for a plethora of reasons.

Do you think of anyone (not including meme musk) who is attempting to organize and take matters into their own hands for this kind of progress?

Yes.

At least the spirit is there within some folks who want to see us venture out into the stars.

primarily it is because we have hit the limit of easy reduction and new gains are increasingly difficult to mass produce. underlying this is the problem that lithography cant get much tighter than it already is.

When you stop going to class fucktard.

>>7763783
If you view every rule that actually has an exception or weird edge case, or holds only under common conditions or assumptions, as a "lie", then never.

don't be a pussy OP. drink everclear, or at least a bottle of vodka

no, you're just finding excuses to slowly kill yourself.

>>7773091
Everyone is slowly dying...

I feel dumb for laughing at that.

oh really?
and the polar bear dissolved in water

now go kill yourself kid

When you admit that mathematics is actually an applied philosophy. Then everyone will stop.

>>7771416
If you were to ask a chemist to explain something in biology, like a reaction in the body, in terms of pure chemistry, he could.

If you were to ask a physicist to describe a chemical reaction in terms of pure chemistry, he could.

If you were to ask a philosopher to prove something in modern mathematics (analysis, topology, abstract algebra, etc.) he'd have no fucking idea.

But I understand you. You know that you are a useless piece of shit so to give yourself you value you say that somehow *SOMEHOW* science and mathematics *SOMEHOW* come from philosophy in some really weird and made up way that makes you sound like you are right, but in reality you would never be able to prove a theorem yourself.
