It's more that I hate what he says about us.

I saw Bill Nye in a grocery store in LA today. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?"

I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw Bill trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

He debated that Jon Hamm guy or whatever his name was. He just made himself and the science community look like idiots for validating fly by night religions.

How the fuck does a lean drinking nobody get 9.5 million views on a shit song?

FML I'M ONE OF THOSE VIEWS NOW! THANKS OP!

jj nobodies perfect, we all make mistakes.

Well, hearing about someone abusing opiates doesn't inspire the feeling of scientific perfection to say the least.

I've read somewhere that cross dominance leads to lower over all performance in both areas. Having dominance in one hand is the best way to go. Of course I'd double check on your own because I'm too lazy to look it up.

It did.

no selective pressure for intelligence=no ability to start a civilization.

no, flats of algae and colonial jellyfish don't count.

>>8754373
There obviously is selective pressure for intelligence in the ocean, since some sea creatures are significantly more intelligent than others.

This is a true MIT/Harvard problem. It would take the mind of Terrence Tao to figure this one out...

I assume the wall is made out of paper

Once will do

>>8754478
I go one step further and assume it is a wall of non-dense nitrogen and oxygen. Thus, you can punch the wall zero times. and still walk through

Disgraceful waste of possible acronyms

>implying there isn't a lack of talented artists/designers/architects in industry
>implying the general attitude towards college for fine arts majors isn't "nah man, just learn on your own, you don't need professional training"

the STEM acronym was originated as propaganda to get more workers into industry. nothing more.

It all means nothing and our universe will end up being a dark expanse with a single hydrogen atom in each Hubble volume.

>all matter coalesces into a 'final black hole' which eventually consumes the last subatomic particle in the universe and becomes a true singularity causing trillions of years to pass instantly and releasing all its mass as hawking radiation in a split second causing a new big bang and a new universe with everything exactly the same each time meaning we have no free will

>>8754200
Climate change.

Also, slightly unrelated, but there was a time when scientists worried that setting off an atomic bomb would ignite the entire atmosphere and lead to worldwide devastation. Obviously we know that isn't true now, but it's still scary to think about if it had been, because you know some absolute madman would have done it.

what kind of biology

>>8754144
idk there is just one biology degree in my college

CS major here, can confirm. I am leagues beyond the physics, engineering, and math brainlets in my class.

Couple weeks into calculus 1 now, doing well, already past the chain rule and beyond. Quotient rule was a joke. Product rule remains my specialty.

I ask my professor his thoughts on quantum mechanics and partial derivatives. He's impressed i know about the subject. We converse after class for some time, sharing mathematical insights; i can keep up. He tells me of great things ahead like series and laplacians. I tell him i already read about series on wikipedia. He is yet again impressed at my enthusiasm. What a joy it is to have your professor visibly brighten when he learns of your talents.

And now I sit here wondering what it must be like to be a brainlet, unable to engage your professor as an intellectual peer.

All of the deep conversations you people must miss out on because you aren't able to overcome the intellectual IQ barrier that stands in the way of your academic success... it's so sad.

My professor and I know each other on first name basis now, but i call him Dr. out of respect.

And yet here you brainlets sit, probably havent even made eye contact with yours out of fear that they will gauge your brainlet IQ levels.

A true shame, but just know it is because i was born special that i am special. I can't help being a genius, nor can my professor.

Two of a kind is two flocks in a bush.

It depends on the country and the college.

I did it on Spain and it was basically EE oriented to computers (all types of computers, not only PCs) )plus a lot of AI, algorithmia and programming, including multi-threading and operative systems.

Programming in the abstract sense of the world, they never teached us any language. They just told us what we had to use and assumed we knew how to. I think I programmed in 10 different languages, including Haskell.

And then I talk with people from other colleges who have (theoretically) the same degree and I realize they have no clue. It's not even funny.

>>8754126
I forgot, I also had two courses of digital signal processing. It's probably what I like the most nowadays.

This post is dumb. Secondary sources are very common in philosophy.

So basically what you're saying is philosophy is an art and not a science?

The vast majority of breast cancer patients are also women, is that not a real condition either?

>>8753954
Nice liberal reasoning. Breast cancer is a tangible ailment with observable causes. The argument Fibromyalgia deniers are making is that the diagnosis has basically termed into a blanket buzzword designed to placate irrational oversensitive liberal women who freak out over every little pain and discomfort which is just a normal part of being human.

so are you going to use your Nobel prize money to buy meds?

>>8753885
Yes...The red pill

No. Things getting smaller does not give you a Hubble law. You need time variable collapse in order to explain it. Right off the bat you need 2 parameters where the expanding universe needs 1. Secondly the expanding universe is well motivated by GR, this is not.
