Respect. Physics is way up there in terms of hard science nerd cred.

Eh, it’s just fundamentally ugly to me and that really turned me off. Rounding doesn’t help, that’s like turning the lights off for sex to make it better. I still know the ugliness exists, even if I don’t see it.
Engineering is still very cool to me, and I have huge respect for those who do it, but I’d never have made it. It’s physics but even further perverted by reality. Math was beautiful to me because of how “pure” it was. Just straight logic, divorced from the messy world we live in. Tidy coefficients and elegant derivations.
Numbers like that are why I quit majoring in mechanical engineering. Physics took the beauty of math and made it ugly.
You knew something was wrong in calculus when you got a fucked up coefficient that wasn’t a nice number.

You didn’t discover this as a child? Shit, spinning around was the first high I ever had, followed a few years later by hyperventilation.

Prosecute for what, exactly?
I know you said read, but the reason this came to mind was from rewatching an excellent Down The Rabbit Hole video recently. It’s a good one, 24 minutes long and no annoying bullshit or filler. The concept of social density is mentioned in the video, which isn’t something I saw reading the wiki on it or during a quick search.
Side note, these experiments are what inspired the Rats of NIMH books which you may be familiar with.
Mass murderer?
Makes me think about the concept of social density in the mouse utopia experiments. It wasn’t population density per se that caused the decline of the mouse society, it was the inability to escape social situations.
Fantastic post workout snack, hydration and high quality protein.
Using an ATM to get foreign currency is still insanely better than using a currency exchange place like you see in international airports. Talking 1-2% fees versus 15-20% or higher.
That doesn’t sound like an abuse of checks and balances to me, to be honest. This is exactly how the system is designed. They still need a majority to pass anything.
Flip the script for a moment; imagine we had ultra right wing judges who make insane judgements. Is it not the whole point of checks and balances for the legislative and executive branches to be able to exert some control over the judiciary branch provided they have an appropriate majority?
I don’t agree with Johnson, he’s a cunt, but this doesn’t seem like abuse per se, rather exactly how the system was designed. I’m not worried about it because they don’t have the votes.
I’ve seen some videos of people punching through windows and instantly cutting an artery, wouldn’t be surprised if something similar happened here.
You don’t even need a complicated MITM attack like that. The data is for sale by the telecoms.
It’s just like kayfabe in professional wrasslin’.
8·8 days agoI spend a grand on a nice adjustable dumbbell set and a bench and went from 165lbs to 210lbs over the last 18 months with a combination of weight training and eating better. It’s absolutely possible to work out at home with the resources that are out there these days. I do miss some of the equipment at the gym but the convenience of a home gym is just too good.
I would point out that getting lean/shredded is not a function of the gym, it’s a function of the kitchen. You cannot out exercise a bad or even mediocre diet. You can use a gym to build muscle, increase flexibility, or improve cardiovascular fitness, but there’s no avoiding making changes to your diet if you want to decrease body fat.
Did you read the link? Because they aren’t “huge supporters”. They’re near evenly split - 50% republicans, 47% democrat.
I thought it was going to be much worse than this but it’s a pretty close split.
Not knocking people’s choices, it just wasn’t for me. If math in reality isn’t math in education, it’s even better that I left.
I’ll still contend math is much more elegant than physics or engineering, though. There’s no e^I*pi + 1 = 0 equivalent for either.
