Is Singapore the best country to live in for a scientist?
The West seems so turbulent.
When I was a kid I wanted to be a nerd as an adult. Guy that works solving problems in front of a computer, and comes back to his big suburban home in a street filled with trees to be greeted by a hot hazelnut haired female nerd professor of history or geology or something like that while she is getting dinner out of the oven. Meanwhile I play the Super NES of the future with my kid while preparing for the super bowl.
After the dinner, my female and I would have a warm bath in the Jacuzzi listening to Sade or some shit while planning the visit the weekend trip to the museum in a cool nearby city.
That is impossible. The well is poisoned. Confrontation, economic stagnation... the mainstream discourse is too low.
Besides, I HATE BEGGARS AND I HATE OBESE PEOPLE. If I lived in a society with few obese people, I would love them. But now the innocent obese suffer the consequences of being surrounded by the lazy obese.
I hate fat people, I hate how low the average IQ is.
Is this the end of the West?
Is Singapore the place to be for serious people??

Singapore sounds like it is out of your price range.
Singapore is going to be harder, not easier OP. If you have problems in the West that you cannot resolve, you will definitely have problems in Singapore.

How long should I wait until 0.5 liters of water in a 2 liter kettle has cooled from 100 Celsius to 85 Celsius, when the lid of the kettle is open?
The room temperature is 22 Celsius. The kettle is plastic.
Surely this is very simplistic to calculate? I'm asking because I have tea that requires a temperature of 75 to 85 Celsius to have the best brew and I don't have a thermometer.

There haven't been many huge volcanic eruptions "recently" worthy of making headline news.
Are there any large active volcanoes which are due to erupt relatively soon?

Mount Unzen. Big eruptions don't occur that often. They are like 1 in 100 years events.
As far as we can tell no.

Are there specific areas of the brain that when bludgeoned lead to an increase in intelligence relative to other areas of the brain?
I recently hurt my head. I wanted to see if i was more or less mentally agile than i was before the injury.
I've been taking IQ tests and getting 130+ left and right. I want to know if there's a way i can become even more intelligent.

You're getting better at online IQ tests by practicing them, you're not getting more intelligent.
Also, online IQ tests always give you good results so that you're more likely to share your autistic result on Facebook.

Number Theory is good, but it is just a trivial subset of the best topic in mathematics: Algebra.
All questions asked about integers can be generalized into questions about infinite rings.

>In a meta-analysis, researchers from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and China Medical University in Shenyang for the first time combined 27 studies and found strong indications that fluoride may adversely affect cognitive development in children. Based on the findings, the authors say that this risk should not be ignored, and that more research on fluoride’s impact on the developing brain is warranted.

Soft questions for medfags,
How committed/seriously do you take the Hippocratic oath? Were you motivated by an essential "calling" to the field, by pressure from expectant parents, or ambitions for wealth? Finally, what criticisms do you have for the pedagogy and practice of medicine?

It's a fucking joke. I take time off work when my schedule is the densest and during that time all surgeries I had scheduled are delayed™. During that time I work exclusively in my private clinic and have the nurse direct everyone who had theirs delayed to it.

>>8653737
I'm sure there are med students who do

>>8653756
So I am guessing for you, it was the desire for status and wealth that motivated you to pursue medicine. How common is this attitude towards patients, particularly among surgeons?

Can someone explain to me how the molecules are reacting with eachother? All I get from the picture is that 1,1'-(bromomethylene)dibenzene and 2-(dimethylamino)ethan-1-ol react with eachother to form diphenhydramine and hydrogen bromid(?(which is shown)) , in the pressence of potassium carbonate as catalyst.

nucleophilic substitution
>>
>>8653667
So let me get this right, according to wiki:
"nucleophilic substitution is a fundamental class of reactions in which an electron rich nucleophile selectively bonds with or attacks the positive or partially positive charge of an atom or a group of atoms to replace a leaving group"
an electron rich nucleophile = the O-atom?
the positive or partially positive charge of an atom = the Br-atom?
"to replace a leaving group" what does it mean that a group is leaving?
Thx for the answer btw

Working through old problems that I haven't done yet and I've been stuck on this one all day now.
Anybody mind telling me what I'm doing wrong?
I don't understand where that [math]\sqrt{n + 1}[/math] is supposed to come from in the end.
Is this the wrong approach?

Fake. Firstly, a human cannot copulate with a chicken due to the huge difference in DNA structure. Secondly, that's a chicken egg bought from a store. It's infertile.
