it is done for research, the benefit is the results of that research. the benefit for the bovine in question is youtube fame, but it is on too high of a spiritual level to care about that. i don't think that animal will have a normal lifespan.

those portholes are for research for better pastures, as they say on the video. And cows get their stomachs pierced all the time. It prevents them from getting their gut blown up due to excessive gas formation when eating. All farmers have a trocar to perform that potentially life-saving operation

>>8680572
It's not creepy, it's useful. These are used to do research on the cow's digestive system.

U racists

oh, it's what you learn the first lecture in the first 20 minutes of discrete math, that everybody takes their first semester.

fuck off

>>8680577
Barely anyone takes discrete math.

They're all intelligent in their own fields

this is how doctors think to cope with being the least intelligent intelligenters.

Its basically blue collar work with a PhD

Cring, meant more important for a researcher.

False dichotomy

Gravity has little to do with density

What does a force have to do with mass per volume?

>>8679251
The point is, this "force" does not exist.
It can not be seen, felt or measured.

Things fall because they are denser than air.

>>8679265
how do planets orbit the sun?

"oh okay" and just leave it at that. Nothing I say will convince them anyway.

>>8678171
"I honestly don't give a shit about what you believe about the moon landing because it is so inconsequential to me, you, or the value you bring to society"

>>8678185
This. I also make mental note who says/believes this, and will avoid them for anything of consequence.

geology PhD/masters is actually very well compensated due to muh oil

Geophysics, Atmospheric Sciences, Atmospheric Chemistry, Oceanography etc higher degrees are cool.

However you're usually better off being a real science major, like physics and chemistry then jump onto whatever field of earth science you want rather than vice versa. A BS with earth science degree usually knows a lot about the earth but a masters of none. A true pure physics major usually knows a lot about high level math, programming language, etc required to jump ship onto the cutting edge research of earth sciences.

Everybody can learn geology 101 in a week. But not everybody have the toolkit to know finite differences, numerical methods, high level scientific programming, tensor flexor calculus, etc.

>>8678068
Not op but I'm a physics major interested in getting a minor in geophysics. It seems like it would be useful for something like planetary astronomy, but I know nobody else who has pursued it. Does that sound like a good direction?

>>8676849
Have you tried hand-waving? Always works for me.

Heat death is a long way away, retard.

Who said it wasn't flat?

>>8680872
If you're at a beach and you watch a ship disappear into the distance, the mast will disappear last as the ship moves past the horizon. This wouldn't happen on a flat earth, and flat earthers will just ignore this when you point it out, and pivot to something retarded.

Don't worry about flat earthers online though. They're either trolls or mentally unwell, not worth letting them get to you.

deceleration takes place because the wall exerts a constant force on you to stop you. That is why you die.

>>8679081
But if the acceleration was negative then I would be reversing into the wall?

>>8679085
Do you not understand that your net force is changing in the direction opposite of the cars motion? You bave momentum so when that happens you end up hitting the cars frame at whatever speed which leads to your deatb as your body has a low tolerance for pressure and loads caused by impulse

SLS is a huge waste of money. Human spaceflight is a huge waste of money. On a per mass basis, unmanned probes return more science.

>>8676920

So humans should never leave Earth then?

>>8676920
>SLS is a huge waste of money
You could have stopped there.

70 ton payload for $2 billion is disgraceful

Do you really think that mathematicians remember stuff from undergrad? They specialize in grad school and that's all they know about. Even fucking engineers don't remember their calculus classes, and YES, this is for the smart people too that had really good grades and gave a shit about the subject. Nobody remembers all of that shit. You just need to UNDERSTAND it so you can move onto something more complicated/specific or whatever. This is a pretty bad misconception that probably keeps a lot of people out of math, which is a drag.

>>8682065

You remember what you need, you remind yourself of everything else if you ever run into it again and need it.

I just felt kind of insecure when I couldn't set up the proof by myself. I thought I could because it's very basic stuff relative to what I do daily but I was struggling.
But you're right, it's more important to understand than to simply memorize. Once I saw the proof, I could follow and understand it quickly. I just felt kinda "mediocre" for not being able to set up the proof myself. Maybe I just put too much (unrealistic) pressure on myself.

Thanks for your reply.

>>8681518
Kill both of them.

id strangle my partner to be honest
why is he even going to school

if you were a real /sci/entist you would WANT to get in complexity 2 and INTENTIONALLY cheat so you get there
too bad youre just an electrical engineer

People who can solve these just memorize an algorithm to do it. Also getting a side doesn't necessarily mean you're closer to solving the whole thing

>>8680460
>People who can solve these just memorize an algorithm to do it.
True for most people
>Also getting a side doesn't necessarily mean you're closer to solving the whole thing
False if you start with zero faces solved

>>8680434
Most algos don't solve one side, then work on the next one
They start on one side (say white), and then work their way up the cube to opposite side (which would be yellow in our case)

I can solve to the second level, but I hate memorizing things I can look up so I get stuck there

IQ tests only measure the Logical/Mathematical and Visual/Spacial I believe.

Probably Those would be my favorites since they come in handy all the time.

>>8680017
>If so, what intelligence is most important to an ever-evolving society. What intelligence is most important right now, for us humanoids.
It will always be important to have a mixture of all of these.

>>8680264
And this. This is why I don't like IQ tests even though I do well at them. I am fully aware of the type of smart I am.

>>8680264
>Probably Those would be my favorites since they come in handy all the time

That's why, in my opinion, those should be what "intelligence" is. This "musical intelligence" and "sports intelligence" should be "talents" instead.
