Eurofag here learning mathematics on my own, on 6th grade geometry now. My question is, since I'm learning on my own, sometimes I need feedback on the work I've done to know I've solved/worked properly, where should I look for it? Should I just look for a tutor? AI? Here? Let me know.

Khan Academy is good for self assessment. KA has interactive exercises that offer immediate, specific feedback. There's no problem if you skip their videos and use your textbooks. You will learn to use textbooks better if KA exercises force you to do so

The vast majority of my professors suck and so do their lectures. I've learned almost everything on my own from textbooks. I should agree with

At an early stage I grew lazy because I didn't feel challenged. When I went to study for one semester in a bigger university as a exchange student, I find myself really motivated and productive after encountering with many other people who were seriously committed in their education and I could compete with (in a healthy way, of course).

Later, I could get a good source of feedback and support from math communities (those which are willing to help you and are not a mere circlejerk). You could find those communities on Discord, Reddit and Telegram. I encourage you to look for them.

Thank you everyone for you feedback, you're very nice. <3

I just found out that eggs cause hard plaque build up especially in the carotid artery and that it's close to just as bad to smoking cigarettes. The problem is I have been drinking a dozen eggs a day for 6 months as an easy source of protein as I go to the gym. How fucked am I? How bad did I fuck up? On the weekends I'd cook them and add a bunch of cheddar cheese on top for extra protein. This is so bad...

>Are these fuckers just unlucky?
We should ask them how they feel about it, aren't we? Maybe they don't care? For example, whites has lower IQ then Asians, but do we care - not at all. Maybe black person would say that they are good at music and personal relationships, and don't give a fuck about STEM and will be proud like that. Of course they can say something like "Africa is poor because of you bitches", as leftists like to do, and it will lead as nowhere but to hate.

Spamming "nigger" won't help their average IQ, I think the best you can do is not to judge every person by the group they belong to, at least on personal level. Every smart boy in ghetto should have an opportunity.

Back then there was a lot more open space. You go to the north because as a young adult you go where you do. Then winter comes and if you aren't already prepared you literally freeze to death.

With modern technology a lot of those pressures are letting up but that's just how it was.
>>
All available data and every persons personal life experience both show that different races have different average IQs, but a lot of people would really prefer if it wasn't true, so there are tons of excuses people have made up to handwave away the reality of the situation.
People really don't want it to be true because the fact is often abused by bad actors and it's the sort of thing that just by knowing it causes people to act like assholes

Nothing can go faster than light, so light is the terminal velocity.

The drag force is a function of velocity. At a certain velocity the drag equals the weight. It’s a simple equation to solve.

The portals are not zero net energy, nor do they need to be true portals and can instead by a teleporting surface that need not act any specific way and could have some resistancss or exclusions to prevent certain matter or fields from transiting their interface.

Then how would portals behave when the situation in pic related happens? Both portals are oriented downwards, neither of panels are bolted down, they both are free to move.
Aperture Science's Portals are more or less "safe" by design (edges are not sharp, objects are pushed out when portal is closed, etc), so "infinitely thin pancake" is not a correct answer.

I think if I ask you to bring 5 examples, you'll fail. Some tech, like thinsulate did indeed come from NASA to regular market. Also some explosives. Maybe those stupid convertiplanes will do.

But the shit with military is that they want robust and dumb solutions at big scale. And they are not limited in money. It's not always goes well with innovation. For example civic airplanes are much more fuel-efficient then military. FPV drones was initially developed for fun races (while military was making bullshit like Black Hornet). Commercial DJI Mavic is used for reconnaissance.

The internet is proof that we are able to build an artificial consciousness. All data and all memories are shared in the cloud. Any machine connected to this cloud is able to fetch whatever data whenever it wants from it.
Through this cloud we can also remotely communicate. We are only restricted by the speed we type our messages in, but the machines send this info to the receiver almost instantaneously.
Internet of Things is the collective unconscious of the machines. The machines are able to interact with each other without the need for an external command prompt (i.e. a human telling the machine to notice another machine or transmit data to it). Botnet might sound like a familiar concept.
The transhumanists are building this same collective unconscious for humans - the Internet of Bodies. The usual suspects are to blame.

"Covid" was the catalyst for the IoB. It was all planned from the get-go and the vaccine was always the reason for this event. The vaccine is known to contain nanographeneoxide (NGO), which is able to interact with electromagnetic fields (EMF). Just type those two words into Scholar and you'll find quite a lot of papers about it. Remember when the 5G and microchip "conspiracies" first surfaced? It was the earlier days of the pandemic, before April 2020 iirc. This is all planned by them. They want to ridicule the whole concept with over blown lies (i.e. there is an physical chip in the vaxx, 5G causes covid etc.) in order to discredit the whole premise. But there is also a pinch of truth in every lie.
The NGO is the chip which can be manipulated with correct 5G frequencies. Reddits favorite - Elon Musk - is building the 5G satellite network, which will cover the entirety of the world, no blind spots. The bi-yearly boosters are to ensure that you don't get overblown effects by too much NGO injected in a short span. It needs to settle to different organs, but most importantly the brain.

>(i.e. there is an physical chip in the vaxx, 5G causes covid etc.)
That was the most obvious case of "poisoning the well" just so they can lump it in with other sincere investigation for the purpose of discrediting opposing voices.

on the topic of plasma physics, i've come to believe that all of those "UFOs" that the US military has been showing us are not actually physical flying vehicles but balls of plasma, if the laser induced plasma effect that the military has been working on is anything to go by

“Alien life exists elsewhere. The odds are just too good.”

“But alien life visiting us? No. Impossible. It could never happen.”

Are scientists just retarded?.

“No you can’t come here. We’re off limits. No way no how. Cope.”

It’s fucking weird.

Do scientists not consider successor theories to our own limitations? Do they think our limitations are everyone else’s limitations?

Assuming we're a roughly typical example of life rather than some extremely extremely extreme outlier, I don't think it's unlikely aliens much more advanced than us exist and know about us, or at least about life on earth. What is unlikely is that we'd know about an advanced probe sitting somewhere in the solar system monitoring.
