Who else /Bachelor of Engineering/ here?
not me but some of my colleagues are engineers
>>8785618
Probably in 2 month ill get mah bachellor
>>8785618
Trying to be, my dude.
how did buffalo evoluve?
>>8785489
Over time with sufficient evolutionary pressure.
It was the ayy lmaos
>>8785489
ancient cows crossbred with ancient horses
jk idk
Only people that should be considered are mathematicians. Who is the mascot mathematician that represents sci?

I thought Stallman was?
Anyway, Neil "Smoke DeGrasse" Tyson is ours
How does one respond to this?
How do you argue with people who can't tell the difference between the weather outside and overall long term climate?
How do you argue with warmists who see snow outside and tell us the world is getting hotter?

hey thats my post from /pol/
>>8785101
You have to go back.
Explain to me why your field/major is the coolest, and I mean genuinely; why did you choose it, like the real reason, not some stupid /sci/ meme bullshit. Sell me on it. I want to know your motivations and why you thought your major was more fulfilling than all others.
I chose trades/architecture cuz I like creativity but math is awesome.
sadly, this isn't working out
I have massive respect for bio./medicine, physical sciences geo chem phys astro, and engineering
Think about bacteria. Little fucks are nothing but a heap of macromolecules, and yet still are alive. They eat, grow, run away and interact with each other, but have no intelligence of any kind. What sorcery is this? And proteins? This one fucking string of bullshit wraps it's ass around itself, and suddenly it can do all sorts of things. It can operate at speeds of millions of reactions per second, cleave dna at specific locations as if it can read, or mash together with other proteins to make huge complexes. And all this comes down to how 20 repeating units fold.
I wanna know how that shit works. That's why.
>>8784956
you're awesome!
Why can't we just extract someone's brain and keep them alive in a jar? What's stopping us?
Why would you want to? Without the ability to somehow feed sensual information to it it would be a hellish existence.
>tfw my body is my jar
>>8784515
It's better than dying completely, no?
How far away are we from having fully mobile bipedal mechas?
I mean reliable and balanced, not like the conceptual ones that fall over all the time. Or is robotics still in its infancy?
It's still in it's infancy. I would say that we need a better power source and lighter alloys.
>>8784402
A mecha isn't just a robot, it's a fuck huge robot with a cockpit.
any good tips on getting better at algebra and where to start ? trying to finish my ged but im having a hard time passing the math because of algebra. The basics of algebra is pretty easy but it gets hard for me with the harder more complex equations.
>>8784300
It's not fucking difficult. You're just not putting enough time into it. Start thinking about the rules and questions you did in the past when you're showering, jerking off, taking a shit.
Try proving to yourself whether the "rule" you did was correct by plugging in numerical values.
Use online resources. Most importantly, do more practice problems.
>>8784300
>How do I get better at algebra
Study
I want to be Dr. House.
I am a 25 year old neet.
Is it too late for me to go to med school?
>>8784221
do you have an undergraduate degree?
the average age of entry into post-grad medical school is something like 26.
even if you don't have a degree yet, you can still go for it, you can never be too late to change a worthless state of existence
>>8784226
People tell me what people won't hire 30 year old fresh out of colleges since the 20 year olds are more likely to be hardcore keeners
>>8784221
Just don't get an addiction like him.
Hehe I love House
Go for what your heart--and brain--tells you
Alright guys. So I started learning to code a while ago. I am still learning. However, one of the things that impedes me is the inability to find something beyond all these "intro" courses that are virtually everywhere. Everywhere I go I see "intro to C++," "intro to SQL," intro to Java."
Here's a question: Are there any online courses that provide with something beyond introductory knowledge? Or is there anything else that can be done?
picrandom
>>8783935
back in my day we had no intro courses, no tutorials, no online resources
I had to sit at my computer for hours on end every day for years dicking around with a compiler and a text editor until I learned it all on my own
my suggestion to you though, would be to come up with a piece of software to make, and then start making it
when you get stuck, try to look up how to solve the issue you have
some ideas
a video game, a program that analyzes a few months of stock data, an instant messaging program
>>8783935
It depends on your language. Most "advanced" things are specific to the language they are in, taking advantage of the specific things that it can do efficiently/easily.

Were they justified in doing so?
>check out this early human
>it's a fucking monkey
>>8784097
Pretty sure they just meant hominin, but just made it easier to digest.
>>8784379
It doesn't matter, a human is a species of hominid. It's like saying this "primitive cat is actually a dog." No it fucking isn't.
Does anyone have any home labs they wanna show off? Tips on creating one or getting the equipment?
pic semi-related, my dream is to build a cozy greenhouse home-lab.
Right now I have a small portable greenhouse and next I'm going to build a small seedling shelf.
>>8783719
Does this count?
I'm hoping to build a greenhouse sometime soon. I'll have a section in it for creating/developing specific hybrids and cultivars.
>>8783719
Lurking for interest.
>>8783787
Thats an awesome set up! Did you get fancy grow lights or the normal full spectrum ones?
For anyone lurking I've been using this dudes videos as an outdated guide to home science. I managed to create dragendorff's reagent using pepto-bismol with these videos.

>didn't start programming as a kid
I genuinely feel like I missed out.
>>8783546
Me too, anon, me too. But, hey, what can we do about it?
>didnt start serious math studying as a kid
I am the one who really missed out
programming is ez for me but mastering math is a daunting task. i see people way younger than me getting better scores. might as well kys
Programming is so impossible man
what's the fastest form of space propulsion we can achieve right now?
>>8783532
Stealin' teh gravety whells on ova' plarnets en past bye.
>>8783532
That shit where we shoot lasers at a thing to accelerate it

>Itty bitty photons vs. celestial bodies.
Whatever, buddy, whatever.
Yes.
>>8783162
If by "morals" you mean "patterns of mutually beneficial actions", then yes.
Theft and murder are wrong, not because they are illegal, but because it is beneficial to everyone if we all live without an omnipresent specter of death, destruction and ruin overhead. We have made theft and murder illegal in order to enforce this desire to keep ourselves safe. The safety of others is secondary.
