Hi. I was wondering. If you took a really high quality drone, like the kind the US military uses, and put a bomb on it, could it fly to the moon? Could a drone with maybe slight modifications make it to the moon?

That's my affair. I was just wondering if say a predator drone could make it to the moon.
It wouldn't have to come back

Is counting to 100 in your mind, without letting your thoughts deviate meditating?
And is imagining you're in the Amazon rainforest, just walking, also meditating?

Both yes. As long as you aren't in the reality you are now

Khan Academy.

There are Math Refreshers at the beginning of any competent program involving math, comrade.
>>
>>8750205
>>8750205
Learn basic algebra.
Learn basic cad modeling.
Learn how to search google for specialized calculators so all mental ability is ofloaded to trivial programs.
*Bonus - Learn how to program those trivial calculators (copy and pasting since your an engineer will suffice)
Viola, you are an engineer.

What are /sci/s opinions on this as a full meal replacement. I want to lose weight/spend less on food while maintaining a high level of nutritional health.

I tried it a year ago and it wasn't horrible, I could definitely live off it. Thing was, it wasn't cheaper than just buying rice and beans and other cheap, real food, so I stopped buying it.
>>
>>8750204
>I want to lose weight
Cut carbohydrates, eat nutritious food.
Start counting, it really helps. Counting carbs is 50% of weight loss. Other 50% is following your limit.
>Soylent
Would be neat if I could buy at costco/winco and in bulk like rice/flour/etc.
>>
>>8750204
Google Narcissa Wright in images,the guy used Soylent for a year after which he started to have hormonal issues.

wrong again brainlet, you'd know this if you weren't an undergrad with your head so far up your ass that you can't even read what the scientific method is
the burden of proof is on _you_ to demonstrate the validity of the theory of climate change
>>
>>8750003
Oh well i guess i should belive it beccause an Army man said its true.
Which is an appeal to authority fallacy.
And when your making fallacies like this. There is no wonder that you are driving people away from beliving in climate change.

Mathematics wasn't discovered or invented.
Mathematics is an adaptation that increases organisms fitness (ability to grow+survive+reproduce).
It formed randomly due to sequence of mutations in organisms DNA, and remained due to natural selection because it was useful.
Any knowledge humans have is just arrangement of molecules in nervous system that formed randomly and was supported by natural selection.

I don't mean just looking for it and seeing it before it smashes us. I'm talking about stopping it after we find it. You want to talk about climate change? This would change the climate in a big fast hurry.
Enlighten me /sci/, give me hope that someone is on this. Thanks.
Also please share any strategies you think could potentially stop something like this from happening. It's just a matter of time before it happens.

There is not much we can do.
