Once upon a time, there was a little boy born in a little town. He was perfect, or so his mother thought. But one thing was different about him. He had a gold screw in his belly button. Just the head of it peeping out.

Now his mother was simply glad he had all his fingers and toes to count with. But as the boy grew up he realized not everyone had screws in their belly buttons, let alone gold ones. He asked his mother what it was for, but she didn't know. Next he asked his father, but his father didn't know. He asked his grandparents, but they didn't know either.

That settled it for a while, but it kept nagging him. Finally, when he was old enough, he packed a bag and set out, hoping he could find someone who knew the truth of it.

He went from place to place, asking everyone who claimed to know something about anything. He asked midwives and physickers, but they couldn't make heads or tails of it. The boy asked arcanists, tinkers, and old hermits living in the woods, but no one had ever seen anything like it.

He went to ask the Cealdim merchants, thinking if anyone would know about gold, it would be them. But the Cealdim merchants didn't know. He went to the arcanists at the University, thinking if anyone would know about screws and their workings, they would. But the arcanists didn't know. The boy followed the road over the Stormwal to ask the witch women of the Tahl, but none of them could give him an answer.

Eventually he went to the King of Vint, the richest king in the world. But the king didn't know. He went to the Emperor of Atur, but even with all his power, the emperor didn't know. He went to each of the small kingdoms, one by one, but no one could tell him anything.

5/12 ?

Is it 5/12?

>>8617771
yeah, how'd you get that? I'm a brainlet

"What's a derivative ?" in a differential geometry class and "What does euclidean mean ?" by the end of a semester course on riemannian geometry.
That guy really cracked me up., He wasn't even that bad (very clever problem solver) but he just had brainfarts sometimes.

>>8617624
euclidean means paths that don't intersect are parallel lines right.

>>8617629
Well the guy had forgotten what a euclidean space is (in this context it's just a finite-dimensional vector space with an inner product), which was especially funny since we had spent a semester talking about locally euclidean things.
I'm not sure what you mean by path tho so I don't know how to answer your question

>>8617140
Is it even possible?

>>8617157
yes

We could do it now if NASA and others would stop wasting time and money on meme ISS and instead began retrieving asteroids.

I just know that I am enjoying my winter summers! Woo hoo! Global warming is awesome!

I like how this map used grey to mark the most dangerous and fucked up part of Africa.

No. Its all in your head. Now fuck off.

How do you know?

Anyone?

lol you're not smart enough to learn quantum physics, fag

>>8621645
humor me faggot

>>8621650

He's right in a way. I would first go and learn linear algebra and pde's before anything. I recall engineers only go up to ode and exclude linear at some universities, so make sure you know that. Also, make sure you know classical mechanics to the point of understanding why i doesn't work and why quantum mechanics was needed (this also applies to electricity and magnetism). Supplement this with some knowledge in waves and how they work. After all this, go pick up Shankar's Principles of Quantum Mechanics and supplement it with Griffiths Intro to quantum. If you already know all this just jump straight into the books.

I love when professors say dumb shit like this and get huge student followup parroting ignorance.

Let me ask you a question.
How many mechanisms of the fifth generation antibiotics are inefficient toward targeted bacteria?

>>8621383
You're replying to a high-schooler.

>>8621459
I had this thing said with a straight face by a uni biology professor.
Thats why I though he was being serious.

I've only got experience of ti-36x, it's got all the math you need just fine.
The one thing I like about it is you can input using pretty print, avoids a lot of hassle with parentheses. Don't know if the other ones have it or not.

>>8621320
Should I be getting a Graphing Calculator or is it not yet worth it

>>8621326
Find out if it is allowed. My school (in Europe) forbid graphs and of course CAS was totally out of limits.
Even without graphs, ti-36x gives the tables of the X and Y of a function.

Not global warming cus that don't exist. Trump just brought everyone summer because he is God.

When I was a child in the 1980s we would tunnel through 12 feet of snow and make snow forts. Now, we are lucky to get any snow at all and when we do it is gone within the same day. I haven't been ice fishing in 10 years because there's no ice thick enough anymore. Kids here literally have never built a snowman or had a snowday in their entire short lives.

It is fucking bizarre.

>>8621319

Yeah, I traveled all over the US, and every state I was visiting was getting strange winter weather these last few years. This winter, I am not sure whether to turn on the heater or the air conditioner. It's really wacky.

>decent payment right away
ph.d in retail

you look for specific skills that are in demand like matlab, autocad and things businesses are always complaining about being unable to find, you then look at your options and ways to incorporate them into your degree

so basically this business is whining "baww we can't find people who can do X" then you say "oh, well, I used X in my thesis" and they prematurely ejaculate over your face

>>8621198
Pretty much
Often it comes down to software name drops. That's how I got my first job, plus the fact that my boss shared my alma mater.

>>8621161

They have a very small mandatory class like this.

I don't know. I think is missing a lot of very practical and useful classes.

I suppose school is not for learning practical things. Maybe the idea is that your family is supposed to teach you those things?

>>8621161
You mean high schools? Who knows. If you mean college, you can take an economics class but that is completely up to you.

Also, if your teacher somehow fucks up teaching you basic tax filing, I'm sure someone would try to sue.

>>8621161
Because common core is based on the prussian communistic education model, its better for the government have youths with no financial ability so they ultimatly apply for government assistance and side with the government on matters that involve stripping freedoms away from the people as long as it make big daddy government happy.

>>8620737
they're awful.
anyone who says otherwise is pop sci loving engineer, who doesn't belong on this board

>>8620767
welp, those are the 2 options.

which one is less awful.

b-bump -_- :)
