All these articles are quick to talk about how it'd collapse the economy, but this could spark a massive new renaissance for the human race if actually mined or brought back to Earth, the world economy would need massive restructuring of course

long arms tend to be an advantage in pulling movements like deadlifts, but a liability in pushing movements like bench press

Generally yes

>>8644899
no, if you thought about it for even a second you would realize that no leverage is given when the applied torque is at the same point as the fulcrum

If you are the ugly son of a rich man then odds are some slut will marry you.

For the past thousands of years even being middle class and ugly allowed you to marry and fuck.

And now that there are ugly populations, everyone can fucking mate. So that shit stopped being true a long time ago.

As a toxicologist, you have no fucking idea how fucked up shit is. Synthetic polymers are the devil and will destroy the world from how absolutely terrible they are for the environment around us, let alone us, but they're extremely economical materials so absolutely nobody would ever go against it. fucking idiots.

>>8644263
Here is a small list of what makes up those scents you get in products like in the OP...

>Butylated hydroxytoluene
>Acetaldehyde
>Benzaldehyde
>Butylphenyl methylpropional
>Ethyl acetate
>Limonene
>Methyl pyrrolidone
>Propylene Glycol

...all highly toxic to some system in your body. Now obviously unless you are huffing this stuff chronically, it won't kill you, and the greatest concern is the effects on prenatal humans, but you're not doing your body any favors by being exposed to them. Hell, you have Bisphenol A and Bisphenol S in all of your water bottles too, which disrupts your endocrine systems and mimics estradiol, AKA estrogen. You're basically drinking estrogen every time you drink anything from a typical plastic container, all because of synthetic polymers. These synthetic compounds are also toxic to our environment. I could go on and on about the effects of just these two singular compounds and not touch anything in that list above.

Is it possible to function normally with only a couple hours of sleep every night? A genius like Leonardo Di Vinci succeeded at it and accomplished great things, can the average 4channer do the same? What are your faggot thoughts?

unless you already naturally sleep that way, then no.. the amount of sleep we need is almost entirely genetic

>is it possible to function normally?
Yes, I rarely get more than 4hrs a night unless I'm sick.
You don't need to take it in shifts, I just sleep from around 12-4 or 1-5

>Can the average 4channer do the same?
Sure why not.
>>
6 hours on the average day for me but 5 hours when I don't feel like going to bed on time and 4 when I really don't want to go to bed.

It's probably a 70 20 10 split across all three.

I could probably do with four hours per day but I'd be hella tired by midnight.

I was given an old high school textbook by a friend, decided to go read about electricity and found this. Why do textbooks do this, /sci/?
16 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
everyone does this, which is why the textbooks do. Electrons have negative charge so a flow of positive charge is the negative of the flow of negative charge.

I'm not an electrical engineer, but my assumption would be that people wanted to work with a quote-on-quote "positive" property and it has simply been the convention ever since

WARNING: Having the following information is dangerous.

This is a conspiracy. The powers to be do not want technology to develop beyond a certain point. Misleading nomenclature and unnecessarily complicated process descriptions are a way to obfuscate knowledge and understanding. The economic realities make it impossible to work if you do not operate inside this system of deception. A good portion of scientific theories accepted as truth break down if you formalize them in a clutter free notation. And yes, this was done deliberately and knowingly.
>>
>>8643721
The textbook seems to imply that the positive charges are physically moving. Also current can flow in an open circuit under the right conditions.

Knowledge is created by making lots of mistakes and taking small steps in the right direction. Alchemists were on the right track though, but became outdated by newer and better insights.
