>$200k a year engineering job with bonuses and per diems >traveling 8 months outta the yearWould you guys take it?
>>16147471Per diem means travel expenses are paid, right? If so, definitely. Sounds too good to be true though.
>>16147503Yah it’d be like $200 a day in reimburseable expenses. Money is good and all but I will be no-lifing it the entire time.
>>16147471Sucks for your social life, especially if you don't get big breaks or time off when not travelling. That was the worst part of working on a research ship, the crew got months off when we got back to port, I had to go back to a desk job and travel to conferences. It's also really tough to maintain a good diet and fitness when you're constantly in a different place. If you can make the most of travelling it'll be great and it's hard to argue with that salary plus bonuses.

Many authors have previously linked critical social justice attitudes to poorer mental well-being in their work implicitly, but have not studied them directly (e.g., Lukianoff & Haidt, 2018). In our samples (Study 1 and Study 2), having high CSJAS (critical social justice attitude scale) scores was linked to anxiety, depression, and a lack of happiness. However, Study 2 indicated that this lower level of mental well-being was mostly associated with being on the political left and not specifically with having a high CSJAS score. The association between lower mental health and supporting the political left is in line with what other studies have found prior to this one (Bernardi, 2021; Gimbrone et al., 2022).tl;dr science has demonstrated conclusively that picrel is what you look like

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34702284/Background: Symptoms of primary HIV infection, including fever, rash, and headache, are nonspecific and are often described as flu-like. COVID-19 vaccination side effects, such as fever, which occur in up to 10% of people following COVID-19 vaccination, can make the diagnosis of acute HIV infection even more challenging.Case presentation: A 26-year-old man presented with fever and headache following COVID-19 vaccination. The symptoms were initially thought to be vaccine side effects. A diagnostic workup was conducted due to persisting fever and headache > 72 h following vaccination, and he was diagnosed with Fiebig stage II acute HIV infection, 3 weeks after having unprotected anal intercourse with another man.Conclusion: Thorough anamnesis is key to estimating the individual risk of primary HIV infection, in patients presenting with flu-like symptoms. Early diagnosis and initiation of antiretroviral therapy is associated with better prognosis and limits transmission of the disease.

My uncle is a diagnosed schizo. He did a plethora of drugs.My sister smoked dope, said she heard voices. My brother smoked regularly as a teenager. He has bouts of psychosis.I'm glad I never tried it. I want to badly but I'm not willing to risk it.
>>16146067Dont do it. I smoked from 15 to 21 and after a while the high stops being "fun" and gets slowly replaced by a lingering paranoia. But you will still keep doing it because it still lets you zoone out and forget things.I only stopped when it got really bad and I was also mixing other drugs in and after some very bad trips I quit all cold turkey. Had visual disortions and mild panic attacks for about 8 years after.Now Im good but I dont even touch alcohol anymore.

Look at this shit. How is science different from voodoo priests saying voodoo is proven true because another voodoo priest said so? Or a Wikipedia article saying something is true because Salon said it’s true and Salon said it’s true because Wikipedia said it’s true? (Someone initiated the circular reference and then it becomes self-perpetuating)Science is in salvageable and scientists are net negative impact 105 iq assburgers thinking they’re much smarter than they really are. They also believe they’re at the end of history at any given moment, again because of midwitism. This allows them to justify any atrocity, and never consider any evidence outside their established narrative.

I'm not racist but I can't wrap my brain around this argument. First off, how to we compare the similarity of populations? Just typical gene frequencies? Then how is it the case that two average representative individuals in two different populations are more similar to each other than that same average individual and a random other member of their own population?
>>16147131>>16144695Thus the answer to the question “How often is a pair of individuals from one population genetically more dissimilar than two individuals chosen from two different populations?” depends on the number of polymorphisms used to define that dissimilarity and the populations being compared. The answer, equation M44 can be read from Figure 2. Given 10 loci, three distinct populations, and the full spectrum of polymorphisms (Figure 2E), the answer is equation M45 ≅ 0.3, or nearly one-third of the time. With 100 loci, the answer is ∼20% of the time and even using 1000 loci, equation M46 ≅ 10%. However, if genetic similarity is measured over many thousands of loci, the answer becomes “never” when individuals are sampled from geographically separated populations.

Good news everyone, rice, which is possibly the world's most important agricultural crop, not only grows better under CO2 enhanced atmospheric conditions, it also becomes more disease resistant when atmospheric CO2 is increased. >Effects of elevated CO2 on resistant and susceptible rice cultivar and its primary host, brown planthopperhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8076292/>The elevated CO2 (eCO2) has positive response on plant growth and negative response on insect pests. As a contemplation, the feeding pattern of the brown plant hopper, Nilaparvata lugens Stål on susceptible and resistant rice cultivars and their growth rates exposed to eCO2 conditions were analyzed. The eCO2 treatment showed significant differences in percentage of emergence and rice biomass that were consistent across the rice cultivars, when compared to the ambient conditions. Similarly, increase in carbon and decrese in nitrogen ratio of leaves and alterations in defensive peroxidase enzyme levels were observed, but was non‐linear among the cultivars tested. Lower survivorship and nutritional indices of N. lugens were observed in conditions of eCO2 levels over ambient conditions. Results were nonlinear in manner. We conclude that the plant carbon accumulation increased due to eCO2, causing physiological changes that decreased nitrogen content. Similarly, eCO2 increased insect feeding, and did alter other variables such as their biology or reproduction.

This is le… evolution? I can't believe people have just arbitrarily lined up different fossilized animals in a row, always (no exceptions) with massive gaps, claim they turned into one another, and the vast majority of the general public accepts this garbage as science.
>>16147508Look my guy. The methods and assumptions being used are working in terms of finding oil/gas/mineral deposits. Come up with a model that’s equally useful, and not just in a philosophical absolute truth sense, and then we can talk. Even if evolution as a theory is completely wrong, it’s still useful. We still use the hard shell model of the atom even though we “know” atoms aren’t hard shells. We still use geocentric methods of celestial navigation just because it’s been so well refined that using heliocentric ones aren’t worth it.

hey, so I've been making a 3d editing software. I've been stuck on face extrusion for a day or so. when I extrude a face (move it in a given direction and connect it with new polygons) some of the new quads end up facing the wrong direction (inwards). how can I detect this mathematically? You can do the cross product to determine the quad's normal vector, but I honestly have no clue how to tell if the normal is correct. (of course visually it's quiet obvious when it's flipped) I tried taking the angle between the normal and the extrude direction but its always at 90 degrees, (never -90) so that's a dead end. you can check if the normal facing towards the 'center' of the shape or away. but that won't work for concave shapes
>>16146039compute normals of adjacent polys and set new polys' normals such that they have an inner product that is positive. if you interpret the new polys as a ribbon, then you only have to do the preceding calculation once for the first poly and then set the order of the points in the ribbon so that new polys have a normal consistent with the first one
>>16146039dot product between the original face normal and the new face normals - positive, pointing in the same direction as the original
>>16146039this is not science or math gtfo.
What caused the emergence of human races?
>>16140920>The concept of race has no biological basis in humans.Correct>DNA studies do not indicate that separate classifiable subspecies (races) exist within modern humansAlso technically correct. We're definitely different species completely. Just because we can interbreed doesn't make a lick of difference. I wish people could get past their own biases and just call a spade a spade, at least that way we'd be able to make some kind of leeway in modern civil discourse.
>>16140111Environmental factors you fucking idiot. For example, the African continent has much more sun and much less clouds then western Europe. Therefore the people there evolved to produce more melanin in their skin to deal with those conditions. When humanity left Africa and propagated over Europe, the colder conditions and lack of sunlight meant that producing melanin is unnecessary and devolved that trait over time.
