What's the most advanced/coolest/most interesting space related thing our generation is going to witness?
Primitive colonies? Asteroid mining? The development of a new form of space travel?

Fucking nothing.
Hey /sci/, what are some of your expirences say in High School where you were cheated by the education system? Like someone else got something you deserved? Post your expierences.
>born with ADHD
>other children born with the ability to focus
Honestly I wish I'd known about it before I entered uni. Had I known, I would have been able to make use of accommodations and whatnot.

What can I do with a Bachelor's in psychology?
>>7760320
You are now qualified to work at Starbucks. Someday you might even make the coffee.
>>7760320
Qualified to understand why you regret your decision in education.
Alternatively, you can try to justify your choice. Abusive parents, low iq, desire to copulate with children.

Try to analise how you feel about graduating in the most oversaturated meme degree in human history.
Why do people STILL deny that human activity has a large role in climate change? Do people still honestly believe oil companies would never lie to them?
There's no reason to get worked up about it because the government will only make things worse.

So recently a paper came out that showed that mealworms can eat, digest and survive on styrofoam. I wondered if other species could do the same so I tried it out with the much larger and totally different species, superworms. Not only will they eat it but they seem to quite enjoy eating it. check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS9PWzkUG2s
It's great they can eat styrofoam, but the bigger question is, can we eat the mealworms once they've grown?
>>7760107
Probably but you'd want to feed them some oats or fruit for a bit, 1 for the taste and 2 to be sure there's no bits of styrofoam left in them. I was thinking put some vermiculite or perlite in with them and as they die and poo soil builds up in the bottom. Then all of the nutrients stored in them goes directly back to the soil and we can just grow some tastier stuff.
>>7760102
They are simply starving to death with a full stomach. I don't buy your bacteria theory. At the very least there are no salts, minerals, vitamins, amino acids or other nutrients in the foam.
Euclid's Elements.
Book 10.
Propositions 48-50.
Why for proposition 48 does it show JUST the greater term, EF, as being a first binomial line, instead of the whole, as the proposition states? For the next two props, the whole line is listed as the binomial lines in question...
I'm wondering if it's my translation.

Help me out /sci/ bros.
I'm going to be graduating soon with a degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering. I've already got a job lined up, but from what I can tell, engineering in industry is often non-technical, uninteresting work.
I want to eventually move into something like R&D, where I might actually do some design work or interesting research. Should I get a Masters Degree as a part time student? Would I actually get more interesting work if I do this, or are masters degrees only memes? What will a masters degree do for me?
I'm not...

Work through the industry/field until your employer will pay for your grad school tuition.

Then you have the wrong job. Git gud, find a better job, and then do what >>7760093 said. Most decent employers will pay for college courses.
Going back for a master's is more useful, IMO, when you have a few years of experience under your belt and have a good idea of what the industry is...

Bumping this, because I'm in the same boat.
Are there are certain fields of electrical engineering that are more interesting and intellectually challenging?
How much easier is it to get into R&D without a PhD (masters + 5 yrs exp = PhD)?
Whenever you look at a proof to a hard, unsolved problem nowadays it looks very tedious, complex, and messy, and to an extent this is to be expected, but it's also almost like human intuition wouldn't be helpful, and that you would be better off having a computer search for a proof for you. Is this the new norm? Is elegance going to no longer be a part of math?
>>7759959
what are you talking about? did you even graduate in math? you dont make any sense
>>7759978
Actually, it's a legitimate question.

All original proofs are messy. Proofs go through several iterations before you see the cleaned up nice stuff that are in textbooks.

Any biologyfags here? What do we know about epigenetics?
>>7759868
It's cool. It probably explain why tumblr kids are a bunch of faggots.
>>7759868
Interested

I don't work specifically on that field but I work adjacent to it. I also have friends working in that field.
Any specific questions or just a synopses?

Adderall is basically lab grade speed
Hey /sci/,
I just got accepted to uni for math with comp. sci major. My computer is on its last legs, and I am thinking of investing in a new PC for before I start. Any suggestions?
My budget is less than 1.5k€.
Thanks
>pic unrelated
>>7759763
Just get a bunch of old thrown out PC and hook them together
>>7759763
Get thinkpad, install gentoo

Never worked in Linux, why is gentoo good?
Hey, /sci/.
Need to construct pic related, any ideas?
Don't know what parts to use, how to bring the main pipe down to an adapter for a valve etc.
Also don't know what sort of valve to use to inject the oxygen into the tube.
It's for a hybrid rocket, so needs to be fairly strong. No woods or plastics. Weight is not an issue.
Feel free to ask me anything you need to know.
How it needs to look when finished building.
only way to do it is to weld the shit together.
you need a tube for the end on your right welded to a circular plate, with a hole in the center. Then you need a pipe for the main body. I don't know wtf you have going on on the left.
What kind of valve depends on what you want to do, how you want to actuate it, how you need to control flow. If this thing is going to be moving and not a bench model you will need an electrically actuated valve. Which means you will also need to carry a battery. If you need precise metering of the ox flow, or if you need a wide...
