How the fuck do I learn to discipline myself?
I have these:
>Pomodoro Technique every single day (no zero days)
>Wake up every day at 8 AM no matter what (hard asf tbqh)
>SMART tasks (google it. may sound like bullshit at first but makes a lot of sense in practice)
>Start doing the least pleasurable task first. This is combined with pomodoro to increase my discipline. I hate working on my dissertation, but I woke up at 8 AM and did 5 pomodoros...

You just fucking do it. Every passing moment you're getting closer to lying 6 feet under, so hurry the fuck up and do it.
>anyone here
>doing real progress in their fields
heheheheheheheheheheheh
Meditate on the fact that you will be dead soon.
You think you have time. You dont.
Either get it done or do something else because one day your last breath will escape you and the blackness will come in from the sides
Conremplate it and you wont have to worry about motivation
Hey guys
i'm gonna make a school project with wave physics, but i need a social problem, do some of you guys know one?

Isn't posting homework-esque requests against protocol?

it is not the report i need just a problem

Shut up stupid tripfag.
Hello /sci
We are looking for a material that meets the following three conditions:
It should be able to withstand a fire (temperatures of maximum 1200 degrees celsius (2192 F) in our conditions)
It should be able to act as an antenna (electrically conductive)
It should not be heat transferring (to prevent it from grilling the electronic component that it is attached to.
So short story long, we want to make a component that is able to transfer some data, while inside a burning building. So we seem to have solved the problem of cooling and protecting the...

bump for interest
>>7780410
I doubt you can find such material.
Have you considered a combination of materials?
I'm sure you could find a combination of all three required properties.
>>7780410
Tungsten?
But why don't you get an long list of metals and alloys along with their heat and electrical conductivities ? Then you can select the best one for your use case.
Is NASA going to die? Judging by the looks of many potential politicians, funding is either gonna be dimunutive or non-existent. Only hope is that Trump wins.
Bernie doesn't care about NASA and will probably funnel all that money to somewhere else. Carson doesn't even believe in evolution so he might just dismiss most scientific instutituons.
Trump will make NASA great again.

>bernie doesn't care about nasa
>refering to an out-of-context choice he made in his 20s
>thinking the government will ever start funding nasa again unless it has profit or some sort of arms race motive

How would you like to have cheap orbital vehicles that could send bombs down to decimate the enemy? No one has any cheap way to counter them
Do you like constructive mathematics?
>>7780286
very much.
I reject non-constructive mathematics, which basically says *take my word for it*
Well it's an interesting idea. Besides, I'm sure anyone who does math is more satisfied with an "effective" proof than a reductio ad absurdum.
Then again, I would not reject non constructive math. It does not bother me that much, the constructive proofs are like a bonus.

and then banach tarski happens
I want to study economics. How should I get started? What are the best places to learn? Do you have an economics degree and what do you do now?
Where do you live/ want to study?
How to get started? I guess there is a lot of online learning resources... a basic macro and micro course would be a good start. Ensure you have a sufficient background in math and statistics is desirable.
Currently, graduating undergrad and looking to go into masters.

Understand the economics is very depressing. It really is a "dismal science". You learn how massive collective stupidity can be, in a manner that effectively destroys your hope for humanity.
So I ask why do you want to study this?
note: I hold a secondary Bachelors of Since in Economics.
I'm new to /sci/ so sorry if this is a shit question.
I study philosophy and psychology in uni and am primarily interested in questions pertaining to "the unconscious" or unconscious processes. Philosophers and psychoanalysts definitely seem to be interested in explaining what the unconscious "is" and giving a topographical account of the mind as such, but I don't always get that same impression in my more neuroscience based classes. My questions are basically: in what ways do cognitive scientists and neuroscientsists try to explain unconsciousness?...

Here is an interesting experiment you can do.
Pick up two objects simultaneously.
Tell yourself which object is heavier.
You'll notice that your evaluation was nearly instant, and also had nothing to do with your conscious mind. It's as if your conscious mind ordered some unconscious part of the brain to do this judgement, and then relay back the answer so that linguistically you can acknowledge the result.

Ask for a refund of your tuition fees.
Alright so I'm starting my physical science 101 course this semester with its lab, but I'm also taking some other serious courses that I may need to focus more on. I'm not expecting to get by without studying or anything, but could someone maybe give me a heads up on what I'm getting into. Will it be that difficult?
>>7780175
>what I'm getting into
you could just look at the syllabus
Under a hypothetical voice, what exactly IS at the end of the universe? Could we just be a peice of matter amidst of white noise? Or the thought of a god?
Probably commonly answered: No one knows
>>7780145
Guess then
I think it can either be a closed or open system. Closed = the end is the beginning, open = there's nothing but empty space that extends indefinitely
I shoulder this shotgun and shoot a deer with a slug. Strangely, the stock tapers to a point that's roughly 12 gauge.
The slug tears through the deers central cavity destroying the heart, lungs, and bones around it.. killing it quickly.
My shoulder doesn't even get bruised.
Fuck you, Newton. And fuck your laws.
The entire gun's mass has to be accelerated by the recoil, and since it is much larger than the bullet, it is accordingly accelerated much less.
That being said, I think it probably would bruise you. I've known people to get bruises from firing guns with entirely unmodified stocks, especially guns and relatively powerful cartridge configurations
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to attach an actual stock to that pointy part.
>>7780026
OP here I'll admit shooting that thing would SUCK.
But if it was shouldered on the most fleshy area, it would not bruise. Unless you're prone to bruising.
It would still hurt.

Any male nurses or male nurse students? I'm choosing nursing for the money. I do have compassion for others, but I don't know if i'll like being a nurse. I will like a median salary of 63k. I will like being done with school after an 18 month program. I will like tuition reimbursement to get my bachelors.
My end goal is not to do nursing all my life. My goal is to make and save as much as possible and get back into business. I am an entrepreneur at heart, but the realist in me says I wont be able to secure a business loan unless i'm making good money already.
I hear its hard as fuck to get in because med students use the faculty of nursing to take their science courses. It's a high paying job and hell you will meet a lot more bitches than the engineers.

Why are they so smexy?

Why couldn't our universe exist in a black hole
>>7779903
It does.
>>7779910
Because black holes are a meme and don't actually exist.
