Why is science like this
>>16386973>nooo they are effeminate not awe inspiring Man up.
>>16386476>fruits and nutsThis is a funny exaggeration but what gets actually argued is that t-rexes were pure scavengers. But this point of view also dates back to the 1920s. To some extent it's just pop-culture cherry-picking stuff that's "new"/shocking/relevant.
>>16387092My favourite dietary proposal for T. rex is that it only ate the eggs of other dinosaurs.And that all of the other dinosaurs went extinct because literally every single egg got eaten by T. rex.And then T. rex went extinct because mammals ate every T. rex egg.This was a legitimate suggestion that someone really made.

>>16386981I dislike scientists with Youtube channels. Most of the time they just make pop science content that dosen't require a scientist, and often it's not even in their own field, then they just read a Wikipedia article and make a video out of it and just because they appear as scientists, people watch them. They should make in-depth science videos in their own field and let the pop science content left for amateur enthusiasts who are good at narrating and explaining, but the Youtube scientists won't do that because they just want to make money with Youtube and not provide anything useful.

Winter is cooming and my father is already shidding himself over Euro regulations when it comes to heating with solid fuels.He contacted a company that makes pic related which really looks like snake oil to me.It's an insert that you put into chimney and it supposedly:>increases heating efficiency (reduced fuel consumption) up to 40%>reduces various emissions such as carbon monoxide, NOx, various unspecified organic compounds, dust and more>Improves draft stability and improves resistance to wind back-draft>Blocks out rain so it doesn't rain down the chimney I can get two last lines as true, doesn't take a genius how it helps with those two things but the rest?I mean, how 4.2kg (9.25 freedom-units) of stainless steel sheet metal without moving parts is able to do all those miraculous things?Mind you, my boomer father is rather gullible when it comes to such things and instantly believes everything that is said on the internet, a trait which he carried over from TV.He was right though about few things, like starting fire in fireplace at the top which resulted in less soot and cleaning required, although no noticeable savings in fuel which he probably was mostly after.There's very little documentation on how this works provided by the producer. They do however supply buyers with bunch of papers that basically boil down to "the experts agree this thing works, here their stamp of approval". Nothing about their testing methodology in those papers though, just bunch of data.
>>16386251OP here, that's what I'm askingInefficient burn of biomass implies it's burning incompletely due to lack of oxygen. It's why american Indians were making smoke signals by putting hides over fires (cutting oxygen supply and generating lots of smoke) and then letting the stored smoke go. Similarly If your cars engine is running rich, you can expect more smoke than usual out of exhaust pipe, same principle applies to fireplaces.It's why when the fireplace is just starting to be lit it creates the most smoke, it still has to warm up and insufficient heat creates incomplete combustion. If you want to increase the efficiency of burn, you should make your fireplace hotter. Increasing airflow seems like a straightforward thing to do until you realize that you're basically increasing the rate at which heat is leaving your home out of chimney.I believe this product is simply working on presumption that>improved draft stability = more airflow = more heat = more gooderbut the more I think about it the more I realize it's not as simple
>>16386202This is dependent on adjustability. If there isn't any adjustment happening then it won't be able to maximize fireplace efficiency. It can be too open or too closed for the desired fire intensity.
>>16386202I'm going to vote for scam.First off, the principle is right about combustion, but the place to fix that is in the hearth, that is why there are fireplace inserts with fans. The electric fan and sensors in the insert maximize combustion. Fireplace inserts work; I doubt doing anything at the top of the chimney has any effect. Secondly, when they made your chimney, the builder should have tested it for flow, and adjusted its height and bore accordingly. Unfortunately, most modern houses with fireplaces are made to be decorative, not effective, since the house is heated with a furnace, not a hearth. So, assuming the chimney flows properly -- which is dependent upon its height, and the flow of air in your neighborhood, and your builder -- your best bet for efficiency is an hearth insert, not something that is messing with the already maximized flow of your chimney.
>>16386694yeah that's what I'm thinkingbasically if fireplace and chimney was put together by someone competent (which usually means recently, not like a pre-war build) I doubt there's much to improve upon. Especially if there's thin or no smoke at all after fireplace fully warmed up since it signifies there's enough oxygen and heat for complete burn, meaning everything that could be turned into heat was turned into heat. Increased airflow in this situation decreases efficiency as now more hot air escapes trough chimney than it should.I think best investment here would be a roof cam pointed at chimney where I can see how much smoke goes out and adjust draft flaps in hearth appropriately.
>>16386202Not directly related, but how do home liquid fuel/nat gas boilers work?
So apparently the urinary tract connects all the way to the brains pituitary gland which controls sexual reproduction and crosses ways in the bladder with the seminal tract, this would have huge implications for esoteric SR traditions like in daoism, buddhism, hinduism etc. because it would vindicate these brain-spine-testicles teachings they have.Lots of them specifically seem to believe (like with huanjing bunao) that semen plenishes the brain somehow, is it possible that this is somehow real with the seminal tract-urinary tract-pineal gland connection? They specifically seem to think that there's some circular exchange between the 2 (testicles and pineal gland)
>>16382888Are you saying a neuralink implant could simulate the sensation of being kicked hard in the balls, activated say remotely, without doing acual damage to them that might cause sex drive to deteriorate?
I know this is a science booard but chakra is real I can feel it while meditating. I'm pretty sure there are vectors and shit going out perpendicular to the surface of my skin and parallel with my spinal cord. If you don't clear out your anus chakra often enough (becomes muddled due to identity and security reasons) you will turn gay. Gotta pump out all the ass chakra during meditations. Connects to heart chakra which rules bonds of obligationYou balls chakra has to do with the immediate moment-to-moment impact of personal relations and sense experiences. Connects to throat chakra which rules a sense of justice and outspokenness Your belly chakra is entirely related to executive function, deciding to do things and then doing them. fasting is an extreme play of intention which makes sense. Connects to mind chakra which rules anticipation Then you have your crown chakra which is pretty much only for astrally projecting and controlling real life territory . I can barely get there and it hasn't happened lately since I started taking college physics courses
>>16382888jesus christwhy don't you smack yourself in the balls, hard, with a rock? then you will realise that they are, indeed, connected to the brainnow if you want to verify that it happens via the spine, repeat the experiment after severing your spinal cord somewhere in the lower back
Obviously not. Why ask these stupid and pointless questions, its like me asking if 1+1 is actually 3
>>16382888Semen retention doesn't do anything by itself, its actually the hormones involved in not cumming regularly or cumming into a partner that play a role in what esoteric eastern teachings have written in the past. Quite possibly since reproduction plays a huge role in our lives then a direct nervous channel seems useful. I read books and articles about the three systems that hinduism and other esoteric beliefs talk about: >chakras line up with the endocrine system which controls hormones and other important stuff in the body>prana lines up with the circulatory system and "vital force">kundalini/qi gong is related to "consciousness" and then to the nervous systemAll in all these could be reaches but I do think that eastern civilization brute forcing this knowledge through milennia is likely.
How trustworthy is research on iq done by chinese researchers?
>>16378885>tibetans are the dumbestof course, chang. lmao.
>>16385780>comparable with Turkey or Greecehave you seen turkey or greeces growth rate? Or compared their COL with chinas? It's not remotely comparable> If they did all happen to be Gigabrains it certainly doesn't see to do them any favors anyhowThe 4 highest iq provinces are also among the five richest provinces per capita so clearly it has. That's obviously reversing cause and effect though, regions with lots of opportunities attract high-iq people, causing a rural brain drain

Will we see aging cured in our lifetime? How would we stop and/or reverse it?
I personally think the approach that will bring the biggest gains is either growing or regenerating organs in vitro or vivo. We don't need to know everything about how the organs work as long as the cells "know" what to do and build up a healthy part, and we can transplant it. As Michael Levin said, since human babies can regenerate the tip of their fingers, we must have a blueprint in our bodies somewhere for this sort of in vivo regeneration.
>>16386830Oh yeah? Got any proof of someone living forever using this method?

Why do people even need money to achieve scientific feats like going to Mars or curing cancer? It's not like money magically makes a Rocket appearance, we obviously have the ability to make anything we want and have more than enough resources and technology to do it. The Egyptians didn't need 100 trillion dollars to build the pyramids they just did it, the Chinese were able to build the wall without worrying about money, they just did it.
>>16387065With materials like steel and human labor
>>16387073Triggering retards such as yourself
>>16387064Exactly, it's like why does everyone hate communism when that's what we're all striving for. Everyone's looking for new ways that they can make AI make money for them or something so they don't have to work, it's like no one wants to work and wants to find ways to not work and have money for whatever they want and in theory, if every person in the world accomplished that then that would in fact be a communist society.
>>16387318Then why do they collect so much useless plastic of silly animal cartoon characters and the like?
>>16387318that's not true, new skyscrapers go up all the time, massive cruise ships are constructed, larger than life bridges across massive expanses are built. We still do incredible things. It's just often not out of the goodness of our heart or some spiritual calling(and it never has been like that for the average worker). When there's some need for it and funding things get done. This has lead perhaps to a more sterile world where grand art projects and architecture play second fiddle to utilitarianism, however that is the nature of the industrialized world. Market forces reward projects for which there is great demand for and demand comes primarily from the middle class who hold the spending power, and the votes.

>>16386534>The set of even integers in infinite, but it does not include every possible integer, e.g. it does not contain the number seven.70 (or 7*10) is the first instance of an even integer that contains the number 7 directly, but even 14 (7*2) technically does too.
>>16386768>The people running this world have turned it into a prison, it doesn’t necessarily need to be one.Except it does, any body, celestial, biological or otherwise, necessarily imprisons all the material that composes the body because if it freed everything that made it what it was, it would cease to be.
>>16387166Nature takes care of that, natural instinct and desires, the desire to be cared and loved, to feel like you matter will repeat the cycle of life and death.
>>16387433Yes that is what I said nature is necessarily a prison, your instincts and desires are derived from your form and limitations, imprisonment is not just something people invented, it is an inherent property of nature. In the end of each cycle you will realize you didn't matter and your body will decompose to be eaten by something that is starting its cycle.
What causes outbreeding depression? Does it happen in humans too?
>>16380671Well, there is the obese white woman + black man pairing stereotype, which also ties in with the idea that race mixing is mostly being done by the sort of person who has issues in the first place.
>>16382299That is a theory.
>>16384029So that certainly suggests that outbreeding whites are self selecting for low quality genes, I'm curious then what the stereotypes from the second race category are, whether the asian women or black men are also lower or higher quality examples of their racial group

If a colony of modern humans (as in, more than enough of them to sustain a stable non-interbreeding population) were transported to a copy of Earth that is more or less identical to ours minus any existing human civilisation or technology, supplied with the collective knowledge of every technological advancement from fire to the modern day, how short a time could it take them to manufacture a single smartphone?This is a theoretical situation where there's no infighting, cultural divisions, natural disasters, plagues or whatever to significantly hinder their work, and they aren't being forced to work unhealthy amounts of time every day.For example, with the right knowledge of materials and how to use them it's possible to set up furnaces and basic smelting 'equipment' within a week, even a day with a lot of people working on them, but you won't exactly be able to make precision instruments immediately.

That makes for 100 - 150 years.
Theres currently ATM entire countries of tens of millions of people that cannot feed themselves or manufacture anything.As an example: Egypt.Tell Egypt to manufacture smartphones, and to make the machines too. See how that goes.
>>16384338This, but the most important factor is there being enough people to necessitate smartphones in the first place.
One immortal person could not do it even with a billion years to do so. Such project would require hundreds of machines, and you cant just build one and go build the other, as they would rot/rust, you need a large population to maintain machines as they are being built and a larger population to work and save money/resources to basically give it to the nerds as investment in the smartphone project so that they can work on that full time
