>If I reduce the time I spend on the computer, do I help reduce pollution from the oil/coal power plants?
The short answer is yes.

COMPUTERS MUST NOT BE SMARTER THAN HUMANS

>""""""""""""""""""""SMARTER""""""""""""""""""""

Reminder that computers are neither smart nor intelligent.

>>8591444
Is this like Deep Blue VS Kasparov so is there Google techs behind the scenes adjusting AlphaGo on the fly and consistently changing the rules to narrow the scope of the 'win''

Become a different blood line.

>>8585638
How can I do that especially when game theory is at play? The smart people only want to marry smart people. Is there no future for me? Am I just going to die out?

Probably not 100% of them. Keep looking for that smart QT3.14159.

pls

You're not good at math because you haven't practiced enough. Math is literally practice. Start with the books in the sticky and then if you have any problem ask /sqt/ to help you.

>What would happen if the biggest fuckoff nuke on Earth was armed
so well over the gigaton range.

you could blow a nice hole in the bottom of the ocean and make sea levels go down a couple of feet.

>>8593879
Sea water would rush in under enormous pressure and destroy all the sensitive circuitry. The no-longer-a-nuke would sink to the bottom and maintain a slightly warmer than background temperature for the next several thousand years.

That being, there is no reason behind the mutants that lead to the evolution of X trait. The only reason X trait exists is because it aids that organisms survival and chance to reproduce in some way and therefore is only a result and has no intrinsic purpose.

Now can we stop with the:

> The only reason X trait exists is because it aids that organisms survival and chance to reproduce in some way and therefore is only a result and has no intrinsic purpose.

I just have doubts this is true. From a completely utilitarian stance, humans take more than a decade to become viable reproducers. Females are also very susceptible to death from child birth. Humans females usually have one baby at a time. We need other animals to survive and we did not have symbiotic relationships with these animals, we hunted them.

We are a terrible species for natural reproduction. So how did we become the alpha predator of the world?

>>8593650
>>8593650
Im sure the development of human intelligence has its own specific narratives and reasons in context. Maybe taking care for long periods is a requisite for intelligence and vice versa. Maybe selective pressures are partly self-fulfilling prophecies.

If you don't thoroughly enjoy studying (and it sounds like you don't by your question) you should reconsider your academic plans.

>>8593406
i think it's inaccurate because you should be studying more than that

>>8593406

No, but you should be eating cheese.

>>8593311
What is the relationship of dog to man?

When taught correctly, children learn much easier than adults.
They also learn certain kinds of skills with less effort.

That means fuck all for most people though, as teaching isn't something that's properly done for kids until it's too late for that to matter anyway. More of a political thing to look into there though.

I keep telling him it's the dosage that determines if it's gonna be toxic or not but he doesn't really listen to reason.
Anyone got any arguments or rebuttals to "fluoride is poison"

>>8593290
He sounds pretty unobservant, but it's true that fluoride ingestion is neither safe nor necessary. There is substantial evidence of possible cumulative health risks, especially for neurological development. It's pretty shocking to me how readily everyone dismisses this. I myself assumed that it was just a crackpot conspiracy theory until I evaluated some research. Plus, most people get cavities between their teeth, which can largely be prevented by flossing.

just call it a quadrilateral cuckface

No, Saccheri quadrilaterals in a hyperbolic space are a counterexample.

>>8593269
In Euclidean space yes

Google calories in 1 serving/30mL of your drink

Perform calorie analysis with burning

The cost to perform this will far exceed the cost of getting another bottle

>>8592504

It's ~70kcal

>calorie analysis with burning
The what now?

>>8592504
it's not so hard, though. OP needs a vacuum flask, a thermometer, and find a way to burn a sample inside.
then you compare change of temperatures from burning of control and test samples

you can also search for "quantitative analysis of alcohols" but then again, cost of performing one exceeds the cost of bottle

Just get those hair cutter chairs and put two of them together. Remove the back rest and use it to fill the gap. Then, add wheels with a locking lever on each one, and weld a bar to both foot pumps.
Boom. Hospital bed.

What are you even asking

>>8592605
what I'm asking is how do those pumps work. They cant be functioning on hydraulic oil because of the lack of the oil pump motor. They work on some sort of electrical energy ???
so i need someone to link me or give me a name of what those things are called ??
