>someone turned in a handwritten copy instead of using LaTeX
>>7816816
fuck off im not going to a copyshop to print out 3 pages
>>7816816
It takes forever to put shit in LaTeX though. I'd go through the effort for something more professional like a dissertation but for a homework? Fuck that.
Sounds like you're a shitty professor.
>>7816816
You're probably a high school teacher if anything, so I highly doubt any high school kid would bother using latex
ITT: Preferred calculators, notebooks, pens/pencils, or other academic equipment.

Can someone recommend a nice pen? Been using the Pilot G-2's for a long time, ready for a change/upgrade.

Where do you play? How do you improve? Where do you analyse your games? Any Software/Website that you use? How much do you play/week? Any achievements? What's your rating? Who do you follow?
Come on bros, let's get some chess discussion going
What does chess have to do with math and science?

Did you know that the Fuks™ match making system uses the same algorithm as christianmingle.com
lichess or chess.com?
Google has built an AI that is capable of beating human professional players in Go boardgame. What next? Skynet?

> What next? Skynet?
you wish it was that easy. some AI beating some dumb guy means shit.
>>7815212
AI takeover is the best thing that could happen to us. Political corruption squanders so much money that we'd all be millionaires by now if the system weren't so inefficient.
Well, go is pretty difficult
Arianespace will use an Ariane 5 ECA rocket, designated VA228, to launch the Intelsat 29e communications satellite. Intelsat 29e is the first Intelsat Epic high throughput satellite, hosting a next-generation all-digital payload that can be reconfigured in orbit and is resilient to interference and jamming. Intelsat 29e offers coverage spanning North and South America, the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and the North Atlantic aeronautical route connecting North America and Europe.
The launch will begin in 4 hours.
SEE THE LIVESTREAM AT: http://www.arianespace.tv/

Not a chance an Ariane 5 ever blows up.
Not worth watching.
>>7815149
This. I only ever watch rocket launches for two reasons; if it is launching something or someone interesting or if I think that it may blow up.

What's the biological reason as to why females can breed with ugly/old/handicaped males as long as they're not betas?
why is more common in females than males?
>>7814715
Women are attracted to 3 things:
1. height
2. anti-intellectual alpha behaviour
3. facial aesthetics
A clinically retarded male who is 6'3 and always acts loud will have a sexual market value a thousand times higher than a manlet who also happens to be intelligent.
>>7814720
4. Wealth.
>>7814720
What if I'm a tall, attractive intellectual?
I thought that this argument was pretty much settled centuries ago but as of recently, it appears as though it is still a topic that is being discussed. Share your thoughts!

It turns out the internet has the ability to show you all the idiots together at once. It really lets you know just how much of a big pile of steaming shit humanity really is.
>most of modern science is a lie and the rest is a global conspiracy to do [insert devious act here] to the rest of the population
Literally a meme.
I use this stuff to calibrate my bullshit detector. I don't dismiss anything without evidence.
Why haven't our feet evolve to face the elements?
>>7812166
They have. Stop wearing shoes for a few years and your feet will build up the massive callus that they're supposed to have. The only reason that shoes are so necessary is because it's not the elements we need protection from, it's all this broken glass and shit just lying around from people being assholes.
>>7812166
Your feet will adapt to your environment. There are people in Africa and South America that go their entire lives without wearing shoes.
But if you grow up in a civilized nation, chances are you'll have pussyfeet because you'll have been wrapping them in cotton and rubber since you were born.

>post a nice piece of tail

what is the most useless number?
probably pi. Every useful use of pi is 2pi.
That quest will probably fail, either due to semantics of "useless" or due to

Just wondering how accurate is this and where most people in here fit.
If you don't know yours you can "test" yourself here: http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
Its a conversation piece, nothing more.
just like any test where you answer obvious questions
>are you introverted?
>yes
>You are introverted!
>oh wow thanks test!

It's pretty good in categorizing people. Ignore the autists.

Man FUCK Robert Christgau.

Fuck him and all of his shitty reviews of Zappa albums.

Hey guys, fa/tg/uy here. I'm going to become a dad soon and I've been reading a lot on vaccines and I'm not sure what to believe or not. What's your opinions on them? How do you feel about the toxins in them, and other Chemicals?
>>7810172
>How do you feel about the toxins in them, and other Chemicals?
They're generally negligible, non-lethal, and sort of hypoallergenic in a democratic sense.
>>7810172
If you really need to ask an anonymous science board about vaccines, then you probably shouldn't vaccinate your children.
We can only hope your offspring die before they pass on their genetic information, and thus that your defective genetics reaches a dead end.
For you, the infinitely small chance that any negative event comes out of vaccinating your children is negligible in comparison to the fragile-x syndrome tier retarded genetics they inherit from you
>>7810173
Okay, that's interesting, but what about the other things like negative reactions? I've heard some kids have even died from it
How do you pronounce this symbol, /sci/?
Personally, I pronounce it like I would pronounce the letter d.
I say partial

You're wrong. It's a natural number.
