What's your favorite episode(s)?
I'd have to go with all the duct tape ones
>>7723960
One of the dumbest shows I've ever seen.
>>7723962
What's so wrong about it?
>>7723966
Non-rigorous and poorly controlled experiments. Their conclusions are presented with a moronic level of certainty when different parameters very easily could have yielded success. Their interpretation of legends and myths is also frequently left wanting.
The ice cannon comes to mind. Why would it have been a cylinder? Why would your nearly random choice of diameter and cannon ball size have been the only case? What was the salinity and mineral content of this frozen water, and what was the ambient temperature?...

Has population growth of this nature ever been witnessed in another species? What ended up happening?
![Crash2[1].gif](https://i.imgur.com/viFOLUa.gif "Crash2[1].gif")
This is what happens
>>7723897
Strange, but that won't happen for humans. Crashes only happen when the carrying capacity of the environment sharply drops.
>>7723897
I guess I should explain. Environments have a certain amount of carrying capacity which is determined by the features of that environment. How much food is available, how much water is available, the shelter it provides, etc. Any of those features can be considered limiting factors. If there is an abundance of shelter, that's not going to help a species if there is no food or water, for instance.
After a species exceeds the carrying capacity of it's environment, it will not completely drop off right...

Can you guys help me out on my math problem? My friend says its six but I think it's one. Please help?
go back to /b/
>>7723815
both are correct.
For the record, it's 9 and only 9. Trying to explain that to /b/ is like pulling teeth though.
Hi /sci/
What is the evolutionary reason for moles and
are there any scientifically proven ways to remove them that do not involve going to a doctor or cutting?
>>7722898
Freeze them with liquid nitrogen.
Put duct tape on the mole for between V and VII days.
>>7722898
Do you have a mole Fetish Op? I will send you mole nudes if you ask.

>>7722638
Yes, we are all going to die some day.
>>7722704
Prove it.
Prove that we won't cure aging soon.
>>7722638
All these chemicals and drugs
Used and abused
Now you pay the price
How the fuck is this shit even possible /g/? VSEPR theory and hybridization all seem like bullshit to me. Pic related.
Single bonds sp3
Dubs sp2
Trips sp
Easy peasy
electrons all have minus charges, so they hate each other and try to get as far away as possible from one another
We gotta account for this in our diagrams.
What's the matter, Chemistry 101 got your panties in a bunch?
>>7722554
yes.

Is PCR fun?
Today I got an offer for an undergrad research position (or the equivalent thereof in my country). It's a project with the goal of finding good primers for a certain type of HPV. I would be doing some desk work and lots of PCR for about eight weeks during the next summer.
Should I do it?
The alternative is looking for another reasearch project but most of them are just deskwork. It's also probably the only time in my life I would be working in a lab, so it'd be a new experience.
>>7722305
It's an interesting concept. but doing the reaction is not fun. you're going to be doing the exact same thing many many times.
>>7722305
That being said if you're in your undergrad, doing lab monkey work is really good for your career.
>>7722308
Exactly. As an undergrad, though, it might be fun at first, but it'll quickly become dull.
But I prefer doing it over desk work, for sure.
Tau or pi /sci/?
>>7721012
Pi 4 life
pi because it's more recognizable
>>7721012
Tau because it was invented by Terry Tao.
>TFW B- in Genchem 122.
Well time to kill myself.
General /sci/ feels thread.

Hello Jaquan.
How the fuck is this /sci/ feels, /sci/ is not a board about undergraduate college grades
How many degrees are in a sphere?
420, 9/11 or 360 noscope

Not sure if b8
>>7720842
Approximately 41,253 square degrees, or 4pi steradians.
Calling all Calc experts
So, I started taking Calc1 in August and my final is this week. Never even heard of a derivative until Aug. I did well up until October, and then my grade started to plummet. After struggling for awhile I began to wonder if what we were doing was actually Calc1 material.
It started off as basic derivatives and integrals and whatnot. But sometime around Oct we started doing differential equations, integration by parts, cross sectional volume and volume by rotation, improper integration etc. Recently, right before exams we did infinite series...

Seems like Calc 2 to me. Your teacher may be trying to prepare you for the next level, but it still seems off.
integration by parts, volume by rotation, infinite series etc
is usually calc 2+ stuff. My Calc 1 class stopped at basic integrals
>>7720583
Shit man that's quite advanced for calc I. No sure about other places but in my uni we had:
-infinite sequences and serieses
-functions
-continuous functions
-derivatives
A shit ton of material on each subject, of course. Integrals were calc II, calc III was the fancy n-dimensional version of calc I. Diff eqs were a different course altogether.
Good luck m8
Girl in my class is bad at math and building circuit boards.

Do any of you do this?
>>7719988
Helping girls with the expectation of sex is the abosolute worst of version of nice guy cu.ckery.
>>7719988
No. I got tired of women manipulating me years ago.
Rofl sucks 2 be u. The girls I talk to in ece are in the 4.0 gpa crew and usually they're the ones helping my dumbass
Would using AI for experimentation be considered ethical /sci/?
>>7719921
we're doing it
it's called 'software testing'
look it up b i a t c h
rekt
>>7719921
What kind of experimentation? The sort that would be unethical if performed on people?
If it was demonstrably sapient, then no.
>>7719933
>The sort that would be unethical if performed on people?
I'm thinking social sciences. Thousands of AIs in a double blind randomized controlled experiment. On one side, you have a control society, and on the other side you have an experimental society, where you change some policy like taxes or a regulation to look at its effects. Time would be accelerated and we will be able to see its effects in 5, 10, or 20 years.
Then they would be reset.
