Here's one I didn't know about, found on the simple wikipedia page:
Lipoid pneumonia

"Chemical pneumonia
Chemical pneumonia (usually called chemical pneumonitis) is caused by chemical toxins such as pesticides, which may enter the body by inhalation (breathing in) or by skin contact. When the toxic (poisonous or harmful) substance is an oil, the pneumonia may be called lipoid pneumonia."
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumonia#:~:text=Chemical%20pneumonia,lipoid%20pneumonia.

because there's no way this guy could say something so stupid without being paid. Highly likely this is the case though, because just a few months after attempting to sell SLS as an alternative to Starship, he has a video hanging out with the ULA CEO. I guess youtubers don't need to declare sponsorships when the company is owned by lockheed and boeing.
>it's not efficient
What the fuck does this guy think efficient means? If Starship pans out then it'll deliver 100 tons to the moon. The only thing all the extra refueling missions will cost is fuel. By the end of the mission, you'll still have all those rockets. With SLS/Orion you're throwing away an entire rocket just to send a metal tent to the moon- which we already did 50 years ago!
The point of the SLS is to use the ULA to funnel money from the federal government to state governments. No one making the decisions cares if it ever gets to space.
Dustin is either a moron or paid, probably both.

>Starship in these regards is a solution looking for a problem (ironically like a lot of space advocacy in general).
Completely agree. That's why I'm not bothered by SpaceX's actions. It's a strong possibility that the entirety of the space industry only exists because governments steal people's money and waste it on space. That is to say there isn't an economical reason to go to space yet. Though I do hope our economy/technology has reached the point where that's no longer true.

Of all the stuff the government wastes stolen money (your taxes) on, I think 10,000 ton rockets are pretty cool.

The whole point of starship is completing Musk's autistic dreams of colonizing Mars.
Starlink and HLS are useful revenue and development programs to help fund and develop this endeavor. Musk does not give a shit if there as an economic case behind Starship - which this thread fails to realize. He will have Starlink paying for it. Alongside his incredibly lucrative F9 venture.
This has been known for years.

13 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>16181845
It could be true, but some people say it's necessarily true - that if something is infinite, it must hold an infinite number of permutations of every possible thing. But then you can have infinite sequences like 1,2,1,1,1,1,1.... where there is only one 2 and no 3's. And, for example, if you had an infinite number of chairs you would need an infinitely spacious room to hold them, but that room wouldn't necessarily contain a table.

>>16181190
If our universe were actually infinite and its properties were consistent all the way around, then it’s pretty hard to argue that there are NOT infinite planets with water, infinite planets with water that have life, infinite planets with water and intelligent life etc. etc. and even infinite planets where you made this exact post. We don’t really understand infinity because we’ve never experienced it or interacted with it, so we can’t really talk about it
>>
>>16181835
Not reading that shit. But the title already gives it away: The claim that multiverses existed accompanied by the argument that this must mean several versions of 'one self' existed is something entirely different than claiming the (1) universe being infinite would lead to the conclusion of there being infinite versions of one self.
So: No one ever said that shit. Before OP here.

Congrats, you guys were lucky enough to be born at the beginning of the era of hybrid ideological-memetic-philosophical conflict. All the shit you're seeing - government agencies attempting to carefully control sources and pipelines of information, astroturfed meme campaigns, blatant retardation believed by millions of people (see the whole Q thing), truth getting drowned out by a firehose of obfuscating bullshit, memes from 4chan seeping into real political discourse - is part of an immense struggle between competing metaphysical structures, themselves far beyond the scope of any one person, entity, or group, but pervasive and influential enough to draw dozens or hundreds of such groups into their orbits.
If you see any of this as simply "the government wants to control the people" or "Country A is undermining Country B" you're missing the forest for the trees. Hell, if you see it as "multipolar strongman ideology versus American market liberalism" you're still thinking on too small of a scale. The people pulling strings behind the curtains are just as confused and caught up in the sweep of things as you are, they just have more powerful means to react to it all (though arguably this makes them less free than the average Joe).

I've been away from school for a while. Took calculus of a single variable and linear algebra a while ago. Most of it was hand wavy.

>>
>>16181636
>build the maturity needed to tackle calculus
The /sci/ wiki has (IMO) good advice in this regard:
https://4chan-science.fandom.com/wiki/Mathematics
I'm in a similar position as you and have just finished working through Stewart's Precalculus after completing the exercises on Khan Academy. It took a while but I definitely feel a lot more confident now about all the math I learned in high school.
I'm now starting Chartrand's Mathematical Proofs: A Transition to Advanced Mathematics as preparation before tackling Apostol's Calculus I and continuing on from there. I'm obviously a noob but so far the wiki's guidance seems to be really good.

>>16181636

For starters why is integral from 1 to x 1/t dt logarithmic? This was also my motivation for “retreating” to discrete math, to get a better grasp of summation since they’re heavily involved in proving integral properties.
>>
>>16181636
I'm a brainlet too, I just end up reviewing Khan academy YouTube material whenever I forget about statistical stuff.
>>
>>16181810
The area under the curve y=1/x between x=1 and x=2 can be stretched horizontally by a factor of 2 and shrunk vertically by a factor of 2 to get the area under the same curve between x=2 and x=4. Similarly it's the same as the area under the curve between x=4 and x=8, and so on. Same thing works for a base other than 2. That's the basic insight, and with a bit of work you can show that if the integral from 1 to x (x being positive and not equal to 1, and we lose nothing by making x > 1) is a, the integral from 1 to x^y is ay. Here y can be any real number, but it's easiest to prove it for natural numbers first; then you should be able to extend it to integers, rationals, and finally real numbers.

Music minus merit. There is no sustained melody hence it is not real music. Like 96% of people you lack the ability to feel the music and process melody and replay it in your head under perfect pitch. Instead, like most people, you simply relate to the lyrics and find them deep and consider it music only because there's a background of scratches, strums or beats. You're worse than a loser. You cannot think in the proper sense. You were impelled to share your discovery of le deep song because of evolutionary social memetic broadcast action responses. You feel as though this makes you unique and repudiates feeling like a loser but its sheer lack of musicality and your personal relation to the lyricism of it, simply proves that you are an NPC. Music isn't a matter of personal taste. 96% of people hear and feel music one way and 4% experience it an entirely different way. One of my favorite hobbies in real life is ridiculing the musical tastes of a drunken individual, equating the artist to trash, denigrating the composition, finally levying the enjoyer is flawed for liking it, and watching the rage and seething that ensues. You would be among them.
