I'll just analyze the obvious way to try to do it: join edges of the same length together. In order for this to work, at each edge the angle between the two faces that meet there must be [math]2\pi/n[/math] for some [math]n \geq 3[/math]. So let's try to calculate the angles between the faces.

Line the x, y, and z axes up with the rotational axes of symmetry of the disphenoid, and let <a,b,c> be a normal vector to one of the faces. Then <a,-b,-c>, <-a,b,-c>, and <-a,-b,c> are normal vectors to the other faces. The possible angles between the normal vectors are [math]\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{a^2-b^2-c^2}{a^2+b^2+c^2}\right)[/math], [math]\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{-a^2+b^2-c^2}{a^2+b^2+c^2}\right)[/math], and [math]\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{-a^2-b^2+c^2}{a^2+b^2+c^2}\right)[/math], and the angles between the faces are the supplements of these angles. We obtain the result

[math]\cos(\alpha) + \cos(\beta) + \cos(\gamma) = 1[/math]

where [math]\alpha[/math], [math]\beta[/math], and [math]\gamma[/math] are the angles between faces, each of which occurs at two opposite edges.

Now we just search for angles of the form [math]2\pi/n[/math] ([math]n \geq 3[/math]) that satisfy this equation. There is exactly one solution,
[math]\cos(2\pi/4) + \cos(2\pi/6) + \cos(2\pi/6) = 1[/math].
But this would give us a tetragonal disphenoid rather than a rhombic one.

I don't know whether or not there might be a more clever way of doing it that bypasses this issue.

I was born in Virginia. I'm guessing my DNA was taken and stored in a database, and the dried blood sample has probably been destroyed already. I'm wondering if there's a way to get access to the recorded genome, if it still exists somewhere 'cause I think it would be cool to compare it to my current DNA to see what changed. Anyone know if this is possible?

File: Haloperidol.png (2 KB, 280x180)

Hey everyone, I recently came off my Haloperidol 30mg dosage 1 month and 11 days ago after leaving the psychiatric hospital and I still don't feel stimulation from stimulants like caffeine. This probably means that the Haloperidol that I had accumulated in my brain for the last 6 months as it stabilized as a function of excretion and the last dosage, is still probably in my brain.

Does anyone know how long I will have to wait until the Haloperidol is out of my brain so I can start taking stimulants again?

For further context, I did this in 2022 after leaving the psychiatric hospital staying there for 1 year. I was on 20mg of Aripiprazole and 20mg of Haloperidol taken daily for 1 year and then I went cold turkey on September 6th, 2022 after I left the hospital.
>>
I took stimulants (Caffeine and nicotine) and felt their effects 36 days later on October 12th 2022.

I ended up back in the hospital again and took antipsychotics (20mg daily of Haloperidol) from December 12th of 2022 until July 5th of 2023. I tried taking stimulants 36 days after I left the hospital (caffeine and flmodafinil) but noticed that they didn't work.

Since I didn't want to waste the limited flmodafinil that I had, I waited until September 26th and tried caffeine again and felt the stimulation. The next day I took flmodafinil.

I ended up in the hospital for 6 months from October 24th 2023 until June 5th, 2024. I stopped taking Haloperidol 30mg daily on June 5th.

How long will it take until I can feel stimulation again from stimulants?

Thank you.

Have you ever noticed how high IQ individuals almost spend zero time listening to music every day, whilst midwits and low IQs tend to always put something on? Now peer-reviewed science has proven that there's a heavy link between listening to music for "sensation seeking" and being retarded.

You mean you haven't had your IQ actually tested? No wonder you believe yourself to be in the 150 and still feel only moderately smart. At 150 IQ there is like no room on the planet in which you aren't at least solidly above average. There are just too few 150 IQ fuckers around for that to be different.

You are probably in the 120s. Or an autist and have grinded IQ tests.

Shit, I scored 150 ish on Ravens too and my professionally administered IQ test came out 20 IQ lower.

even if that were true, having different cranial volumes is not even remotely comparable to the difference in skull shape between a bulldog and a greyhound. Brachycephaly and neoteny are on an entirely different level

And which species is that?

Given that the userbase of 4chan is overwhelming American and your median USAican is yoked by the US Customary system, I propose /mg/ for discussing ways to use and spread the Metric System.

Steps:
1. Converting your (digital) devices to metric
2. Trading tools made in US customary for metric
3. Using metric in day-to-day conversation
4. Using metric in a professional environment
5. Encouraging others to use the metric system whenever and wherever possible

Topics:
>Metric-only or Metric-capable tools/devices/appliances
>Metrication promotion (whether informal or formal)
>Modding USC things to Metric
>Anecdotes relating to the benefits of the Metric System or anecdotes of the failures of USC

None of that has a basis in human reality. Neither do bels, or decibels as they are applied. Logarithmic scales don't need to described logarthmically if the human scale is clear by context: if something is annoyingly loud, call it a cry; if a really loud cry is painful, call it a crynt. Easy peasy.

Anyone on here that is actually a scientist or engineer will already use SI (and other subfield-specific systems like cgs, Gaussian units, etc). For all of the middle schoolers, it is irrelevant.

Also, if you think order of magnitude prefixes is a meaningful selling point of metric, you don't understand units.

>>16283672
Rational doesn't mean "the best way of doing something," it means "a way that can be explained logically." The current system already has a rational explanation. Not every reason needs to fit in your specific ADHD/OCD/autismal way of looking at things.

Are people who claim they never get hangovers full of shit? I feel like I hear this from some people as a way to subtly brag and front that they’re tough or something (usually women actually). I know that genetics have a huge impact on the severity of your hangovers but I refuse to believe that anyone is completely immune to them.

My theory is that they:
A. Aren’t drinking enough
B. Confuse being buzzed with being shithoused drunk
Or C. Are just lying if you’ve never drank with them.

Had an ex who claimed she didn’t and I told her she just wasn’t drinking enough, to which she claimed that booze doesn’t affect her that much so I said okay lemme help ya. Proceeded to get her absolutely sauced and lo and behold a rough hangover was in store for her.

I struggled with alcoholism severely a few years back - horrible withdrawals, had to taper off with benzos, the usual. And I know that when you’re an alkie, you kinda just live in a state of being perpetually hungover to the point that you don’t really notice it as much because you already feel like dogshit from your liver shriveling up.

Hangovers are something that have puzzled humans ever since trogs found out drinking the yucky juice from old rotten fruits = fun.

Alcohol and Acetaldehyde are literal poisons so I don’t buy that someone could have some innate 100% immunity to these toxins. Makes me wonder, if there is some genetic predisposition to being immune to these toxins (physiologically), would that man there are other poisons that people would be immune to as well? No matter what, severe dehydration and gastritis are gonna make you feel like shit.

What’s your take?

20 STARLINK SATELLITES WERE LOST: Jonathan McDowell of Harvard University reports that all 20 Starlink satellites launched on July 11th have re-entered Earth's atmosphere. A failure in SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket caused the satellites to be deployed lower than usual, too low to escape the drag of the atmosphere below. Right now, our atmosphere is extra-puffed up by high solar activity, so the satellites were doomed despite "warp 9" thuster firings.
