So you just decided to be a dick, huh?

You forgot to take your meds today didn't you?

i oriented myself around the compass

It sounds good, but it's nonsensical, it's not correct grammar. This false sentence which can be corrected supports similarity between orient and orientated.

Lexicograpehrs don't try to change words and if they do they are stupid. They observe the words how they are used and then document that in dictionaries. If the meaning of the word has changed in public usage then it's pointless to hang on to an outdated definition.

Science and math aren't as popular in general as video-games, politics, and meme spouting are.

As a general rule, though, on 4chan the less posts per minute a board gets the higher quality the posts are.

What kind of explanation do you expect?
Many more people spend their waking hours pretending to play video games, worshiping Austrian Charlie Chaplin, and bitching about not having a pussy, than wondering about the world around us.
Done.

SLS was always a pork project.

NASA shouldn't be making rockets. They should make probes and play around with experimental propulsion systems.

The new anti-science administration gutted their budget, what do you expect? Wait a few years until the republicans go away and then you'll see some actual work being done. Though at that point the damage everywhere will be so massive I'm not sure fixing NASA's budget would even be a secondary priority.

Do something you love/are good at and become great.

I've been saying it for years. Women were a mistake. Women should be kept captive in prisons where men can come in and rent and or buy them.

That way if Elon wanted her, all he had to do was go into the prison and buy her. Then when the bitch gets crazy he can just kill her or sell her, as she would be his property.

It is not too late americans. We can still change the laws and make women cattle before it is too late.

It's not her fault you can't get laid. It's just his fault if he chooses a woman for any other reason than "She helps me be who I want to be."

If you could keep the panels from getting incinerated, then I don't see why it wouldn't aside from the risk of screwing up the earth's climate, though transparent panels would probably solve that problem.

Why Are You Capitalizing Every Word You Mongoloid?

Not only are they possible, they're inevitable if humanity ever gets off Earth and doesn't discover some unknown power sources. Pretty much as soon as the first off-Earth colony is built the construction of the first Dyson sphere will begin. Dyson spheres aren't really rigid structures like your picture portrays, they're more of a cloud of objects, your picture would be better described as a Matrioshka brain. They could be, but there's not much point in building an actual sphere. But yeah, its not a question of "if", if we ever leave Earth they definitely will be built since there's more than enough material lying around and letting all the Sun's energy go to waste is pointless.

Caffeine works just as well

Here's what you do.
step1. Point your face at the study material
step2. Don't stop until your understanding of relevant concepts has increased.

By looking for the conditions which could harbour life in a similar way to our planet. realise there are literally millions if not billions of them. probably life on one more.....

Why do people pretend that Mars would be useful as a "backup" to Earth

Like what the fuck

Go "colonize" the bottom of the ocean, or the top of a mountain, retards

There are ways to estimate probability of something happening other than raw statistical measurement. In this case, the estimates are based on a detailed understanding of biology and biochemistry.

People who describe themselves as logical are usually not very logical.

Also, the average person's opinion on whether there's life out there is worthless. In fact, so is every expert's opinion. Until we know exactly how life appeared on Earth, which we don't yet know, we can't say how likely it is that it appeared on other planets.

>>8911561
No one understands biology and biochemistry to the point of knowing how to create new life from no life.

There is no way a freshman math major was taking pre algebra.

That's Real Analysis. You won't take it until your senior year. It only has a 20% pass rate for the first time taking it. My first time taking it, there were only 5 people in the class and it only some Asian girl passed it and got a 100.
