I wonder: how does a day, a week of a driven person look like?
Do they spend time on entertainment at all? Do they read the news, browse any blogs, watch any kind of tv shows or movies? Do they spend time educating themselves on something outside of their field? Do they have any other hobbies like art? How much do they work a day? How often do they take breaks? Do they try to maximize their work time by neglecting diet, fitness and sleep?
The answer heavily depends on your definition of driven
>>7924396
Well CEOs of startups, scientists, someone trying to become an astronaut...
>>7924396
This.
I've been described as "driven" and being a natural hard worker by academic advisors and such.
However, I spend large amount of time doing fuck-all. The "driven" bit comes when I have shit that I need to do I'll always prioritize work and I'll always get it done and do it well. But outside of my own area I don't really give a shit. I have no hobbies and struggle to maintain a basic level of humanity.
But then you have people who work several jobs...

What do you all think ?
This woman says it can be done and as you can see here, this is all her trash from within the last year.
Also, and this is surprising, she says recycling is not the answer and we should recycle less. In fact, we should start reUSING instead.
Thoughts?

Burn your poop or make biogas with it for fuel.
Some engineers in India designed a generator that runs on feces to bring electricity to remote rural villages. I shit you not (pun unintended).
- π + π = 0
infinity minus infinity isn't 0 you retard

Anything negative plus the same thing possitive would be zero

I got the coefficient of Fn to be zero but that cant be right

show your work, will tell you where you made a mistake.
for all n the thing is zero

my book shows something with l'hopitals rule when the top and bottom are zero so it might have something to do with that but idk
My knowledge of orbits is entirely ksp based but I have a question.
Say a man pushes himself off the ISS as hard as he can, and the ISS orbits the earth every 90 minutes. Wouldn't the mans altered orbit meet up again with the ISS 90 minutes later making the whole thing survivable?
>>7923134
The man does not stop instantly in space, he still has velocity relative to the earth. That said, I'm blanking rn on where he'd go.
>>7923137
Nuh, I know he's still going as fast as the ISS but his orbit has been changed because he jumped... and he'll be furthest from the station on the other side of the orbit but meet up again in the same spot he jumped.
the red orbit will take longer to complete, so by the time he reaches the same position again on the red orbit, the ISS will be slightly further on the green orbit than it was the previous pass
When you hear about how a planet the size of mars, 4 billion years ago, impacted the earth and created the moon, how come the moon appears to be a perfect sphere from the outside? same with the earth and other planets. how come they have the appearance of a perfect circle? is this the result of billions of years of something?
>>7923007
Because we live in a 3 dimensional space and gravity exerts a uniform force form every point around an object in 3 dimensions.
it's the simplest and most durable shape for the forces exerted upon it by gravity in a 3D plane of existence.
If you were as massive as a planet you would take on a spherical shape too.
It's called accretion you dumbasses

Magnets.
Can you do it?
You're not retarded right?

Hi, I've posted this before on /x/ but well, you know...
I wonder if our brains are limited to thinking of things based on this universe rules or we can think of whatever could be ever possible because our universe is everything that ever could exist?
Just try to think about something else, something that isn't possible in this universe, some another "God's Creation", somthing completely different (and I'm not talking about world where grass is blue or cows fly). You can't, because everything that you think of has got some aspects...

Well yeah if we could just break the rules they wouldn't really be rules
If you imagine something out of this world, that means imagining something out of this world is within this worlds rules
What you're asking is like saying "what if something out of this box was in this box"
That's impossible because the...

God damn physical limitations are depressing.
I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, I think it's much more interesting that way.

What's /sci/'s experience with meet and greets?
I had an interview two weeks ago and now they want me to go back and meet my potential co-workers to see if we mesh well and can work together.
How do I strike the right note?
Should I go casual or formal?
What would /sci/ want to see in a potential co-worker?
That picture is wrong in so many levels.
Pls help /sci/
I don't want to be unemployed anymore.
>>7922262
/sci/ is full of fucking social outcasts and autists. Probably the worst place in all of 4chan to ask.
Anyway, there is no magic behaviour that will land you a job. Don't be a fucking autist should be good advice, just act casual at first and adapt to your potential co-workers' behaviour. You should be able to tell what kind of people they are, act accordingly. If they are carefree and make jokes and stuff, do the same and act casual. If they have had their souls sucked and are completely serious,...

Senpai I'm taking my final and I don't know any of this, could someone write down how to do this or know the answers to any of these?
>>7922105
This is just simple graphing.
I know but my teacher was always absent so we always had a substitute so he never really taught this to us. ):
