When do you think we'll be able to simulate organisms based on DNA information?

I mean, not just making statistical predictions, but simulating at the cellular level, meaningful enough for experimentation

Most high-quality journals still offer print subscriptions which go to major libraries, educational institutions, companies working in the field, etc.

Using propolis (a bee glue designed to seal open spaces in the hive), German science developed modern beehive air treatment in the early '60s. While bee air is a reliable cure for prostate gland inflammation and sinusitis, it has also been shown to mitigate the real problem of generalized anxiety disorder. Present colonies require a break of at least 45 minutes before we can extract their air again. However, with the spiraling demand for bee therapy, how can we increase the productivity of these so-called 'workers'? I suggest a new type of bee, perhaps designed to create new holes in the hive for the other bees to fix? Maybe even one that creates inch-sized holes extending deeply directly to the queen?

Fucking imbecile. The populations Weston A. Price had low tooth decay but not zero tooth decay. The cause of tooth decay has already been established, it's carbohydrates which indicates that humans aren't suited to be eating a food that rots the hardest substance in their entire body, but instead we're supposed to believe that we're not carnivores.

I'll give you this for free, OP, sometimes late at night after a sweet dessert/snack when my teeth are left sticky and coated in sugary goo if I don't feel like brushing again I will eat a handful of corn chips, you know- tortilla chips, as they are just abrasive enough to scour my teeth of most of the sugary goo. When I buy the thicker rougher ones (you know the "stone ground corn" ones not the little crispy more refined ones) they seem to do a pretty decent job of "cleaning" my teeth. Come up with some sort of a "night time teeth cleaning tortilla chip snack" with just enough grit in it to scour off the gunk and you'll have a winner. Who knows zoomers might jump on the idea.

>>16085562
"by definition" needs to invoke the definition. Division is usually defined, in discussions rigorous enough where it needs to be defined, as multiplication by the multiplicative inverse. You can't say that they are "by definition" not the things they are defined to be. That's not hair-splitting, that's telling up from down.

>>16085615
you're scaling the value to the denominator then taking numerator parts thereof. so a half divided by a half is scaling half up by 2 and taking 1 of them. dividing 1/2 by 1/4 is scaling the half up by 4 and taking 1 of them. if you're halving, you're scaling by 1 and taking 2 parts etc

[math]\frac{2}{5} \div \frac{3}{10}[/math] is how many times [math]\frac{3}{10}[/math] goes into [math]\frac{2}{5}[/math]. Because [math]\frac{3}{10} \times \frac{10}{3} = \frac{30}{30} = 1[/math], [math]\frac{3}{10}[/math] goes into 1 exactly [math]\frac{10}{3}[/math] times. To find how many times [math]\frac{3}{10}[/math] goes into [math]\frac{2}{5}[/math], we multiply how many times [math]\frac{3}{10}[/math] goes into 1 by how many times 1 goes into [math]\frac{2}{5}[/math].

Following up from >>16060345

I have tried learning the mnemonics that a handful of Anons suggested and showed to me. I am still struggling to understand. I repeatedly get questions wrong during class and on my homework. I literally cannot articulate what I do not know that I do not know. Memorization has not been working, because like I predicted, something, specific to trigonometry, is compromising this ability and my memory does not seem to have been significantly impaired in any other area of my life.

Since my last post, I have tried:
>Creating flash cards of each of the trigonometric functions
>Several hundred problems' worth of trivial trigonometric function problems (i.e., given Sinθ = 3/2, find [all other trig functions])
>Consulting two professors and a half-dozen tutors on all of the above
>Borrowing 45mg of Adderall from a family member for studying (I will not be doing this again, regardless of the dose)

To seemingly no avail.

I want to learn this subject. I believe in its value, and I understand that it is an essential branch of mathematics, but I am at a complete loss as to how I can go about identifying my misunderstandings and shortcomings. I am truly beginning to believe that I have a legitimate learning disorder of this subject, artificially induced or otherwise. I hope maybe one of you might be able to intuit something.

>Do we have it?
Yes we do, because NDEs are real and NDErs talk about free will being the case. Indeed, NDEs are unironically irrefutable proof that heaven really is awaiting us because (1) people see things during their NDEs when they are out of their bodies that they should not be able to under the assumption that the brain creates consciousness, and (2) anyone can have an NDE and everyone is convinced by it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U00ibBGZp7o

So any atheist would be too, so pic related is literally irrefutable proof of life after death. As one NDEr pointed out:

>"I'm still trying to fit it in with this dream that I'm walking around in, in this world. The reality of the experience is undeniable. This world that we live in, this game that we play called life is almost a phantom in comparison to the reality of that."

If NDEs were hallucinations somehow then extreme atheists and neuroscientists who had NDEs would maintain that they were halluinations after having them. But the opposite happens as NDEs convince every skeptic when they have a really deep NDE themselves.

So our wills are free, but while incarnated also limited to "human free will". We can not will ourselves to defy gravity for instance.

It is impossible because external limits and boundaries almost entirely dictate an agent's behavior and desires.

what are your thoughts on the latest Thunderf00t take on Starship?

"That was always the thing, making things rapidly reusable, that was never a large launch market, this… this… this is being true forever, the satellites cost more to make than they cost to launch, so even if you going to make launching they cheaper, it doesn’t really change much. The only reason SpaceX has Starlink is because there were no satellites to launch."
