Have any of you ever used your math and science knowledge in

>>7931869

Yes. A number of times.
Not as often as I would like but almost every day. Calculus beyond the first half of second course was not though. Yet.

>showing off your ego to low IQ plebs

Do people seriously do that, i mean that's real pathetic.

Seriously, I just pretend to be stupid because smart people aren't any fun to be with

>>7933952
Truuuu
>>7933875
Done this when they've tried to treat me like a retard.

Mostly while camping.

>>7933859

Trigonometry comes really handy while playing pool.

>>7933859
Yes. I self study all the time

jar lid got stuck. instead of hanging the jar upside down in a fire, i went through the effort of getting my buddy to hold the jar with both of his hands while I twisted it off with an extended arm.

that's science for you

>>7933952
Fuck that ive hung out with stupid people way too long, cant stand them. Smart people are way better

All of my socialising is done through puzzlesharing, so yeah.

>>7933859
Yes. But then i dont belong on /sci/ because im not a specialist like modern academia thinks is so hot.

When you know a little bit about almost everything, you can pretty much just derive the answer to most problems you encounter, regardless of how mundane or complex they are.

if the lid was metal, you could have taken a butterknife and put dents all around the lid.. that would loosen the cap so you dont look like a hopeless dumbass :^)

>>7935740
Oh look it's that faggot who thought his quadcopter equation was the absolute shit.

>>7933859
Anybody that works in their field of study should be answering "yes" to this.. Kind of a silly question really.

>thermodynamics all the time
>electrical circuits all the time
>drafting and 3D modeling all the time
>basic statics/dynamics principles all the time

I'm basically just the P. Eng's bitch at a small factory, but without the schooling this stuff would take me forever to figure out myself, and I doubt I'd ever be able to have any useful input.

Having not looked into this whatsoever...

Is that a thing? Where do you put the dents? Seems like it would just pinch the jar if you dented the edges, and I don't see the purpose of denting the top.

>>7937453
small indents on the circumference of the lid
and voila

I used to do it all the time as a kid, daddy showed me how

>>7937466
>wikihow
>Take a hard object such as a spoon and tap the edge of the pickle jar lid, creating small indents, around approximately half the lid.Then tap the bottom of the jar and twist the cap off

Well I'll be damned. Someone want to explain this sorcery?

One time my friend's bike lock was jammed and he couldn't get it off, so we dipped the loose end in liquid nitrogen and smashed it off.

Just a guess, but I think it could be because the indents break the air seal

>>7933859
Of course yes !
Not everyday, but almost. Most of the time it's to check things, or ideas when i'm debating with my friends/family. But not always : for exemple, statistics are really useful when you play poker.

>Doing math and science not the only real life situation that matters

Getting the cheapest deal on things like holidays and bills I use maths for.

I use it to help my wife's son with his homework.

acoustic shock + plastic deformation

>ever used your math and science knowledge in real life
"real life" as in my entire working career?
Yes, as a matter of fact, my total post-graduate income is a result of my math and science knowledge.
