I wouldnt have been an incel if I choose a non STEM major. I would have met a girl in my classes or at work when I graduated like 99 percent of people.


The sad part is that im not overexagurating or pretending. You SatEM majors think women will like u once u graduate and make 6 figures? Maybe they would, if they ever were in the same vanity as you, which is not gonna happen. All STEM majors not including biology are sausage fest and your only options for freinds and aquatences are other incels..

There are women in STEM, but they are usually not there on their own volition.
Usually it's because their parents or their government "encouraged" them to, which aligns with most of them being East European or Asian.
In the Western world, women don't go into STEM, because they naturally don't want to. The higher the individual freedom of women is in a country, the less they will choose to study STEM.
If you don't take people's freedom, they will generally not act like you want them to act. Which is why the only way for """equality""" is to either enslave mankind or to eradicate it altogether.
Generally no man (m/f/d/*) will do as a socialist, communist or other kind of collectivist wants him to do, as long as he isn't forced to. Calling this "liberalism" is about as 1984 as it could possibly get, but here we are.

Universities with a focus on technology can do that to you.

Shit sucks. You need to go out of your way to find a girl, but that's no excuse: Do due-diligence, Anon!
If you are single despite not wanting to be, that's ultimately YOUR fault and your fault alone. Do something about it instead of complaining about how unfair the world is.

20g creatine daily, 15+mg astaxanthin daily, 1g ALCAR daily, 100mg NACET daily, you can try megadosing melatonin through the day (1g of powder) since you wont get tired at such a high dose when exposed to daylight but ymmv.

I'm not even joking. That's how lots of guys went through the same ordeal.

Which is more devoleped? Monocots or Dicots? My homie said that monocots are more devoleped than dicots. He stated some convincing points about that also. Googling it and searching in the internet said that monocots are more devoleped. But, dicots have TWO cotyledons. I'm asking this because, though monocots are more developed and evolved from dicots, then why the heck they lost all those cool features (like collenchyma, trichomes, secondary growth, palisade parenchyma and so on) that dicots had. So this is like "we are evolving but backwards". Can (de)evolution occur like this? Is it even legal? (Also, doing that fucking captcha is damn irritating.)
>>
>>16918230
Define "more developed"
>>
Example: Humans are 'more devoleped' than microbes.

Devoleped here refers who is complex and sophisticated in terms of morphology and physiology, who is efficient, who is evolutionarily advanced.

Apparently there is some stuff the super rich have access to. Rich people have been buying stem cells on the black market to regrow missing digits and stuff thought it's not perfect at the moment, kind of regrows a nub of a toe for example. Ozemipic was a big one but the people using it now are early adopters and it has it's side effects but vanity is stopping. But could be great for obesity. The issue seems to be that this kind of stuff is kinda experimental and people don't want to sell a lot of it at scale as they want the scarcity. A lot of stuff about anti ageing is being mentioned but the tests, trials and applications aren't public. A lot of world leaders are in their 70's and 80's and still look kinda youngish desu so I think they could have access to something. We will probably never get any of the good stuff in our lifetimes but future generations might get access to some of the stuff billionaires are currently using. But live healthy and clean is the best option for us regular people, little bit of genetic disease lottery but water and good food is about as good as it gets for us.

When you think of a discrete Universe made up from discrete units ( whether they be Planck volumes or whatever ) you have to stop and consider what the boundary conditions of these units would be. Imagine zooming in on the boundary with the idea that the boundary must be discrete. Take a moment to think about it and then surely you will understand that the idea is pure nonsense. The Universe is continuous and can be divided to infinity.

So why do physicists say only gravity matters on cosmological scales?
Electromagnetism is 10^36-10^42 times stronger and the default state of matter is being electrically charged gas.

Instead they come up with ideas like dark matter and dark energy.

1) Yes, your ionized gas consists of quadrillions of charges, but the system is globally quasineutral, which is what leads directly to
2) Charges reorganize to dampen out electromagnetic fields. Shielding is a bitch, instead of the electric from, say, a point source scaling like
[math]F_E = k\frac{q^2}{r^2}[/math]
it scales more like
[math]F_E = k \frac{q^2}{r^2} ( 1 + \frac{r}{\lambda_D}) e^{-\frac{r}{\lambda_D}}[/math]
Once you get more than like a hundred Debye lengths away the electric field to gravitational field ratio drops from [math]10^36-10^42[/math] stronger to more like order unity, and as you go more than that your electric field is just fucking nil. And for context, the Debye length for something like interplanetary/interstellar space is maybe a few tens/hundreds of meters.

Solar does not consume more energy than it produces.

One ton of silicon can produce, on the low end, 750 400 watt panels, and uses about half a ton of coal and 11-13 megawatt hours of electricity in its production.

A ton of coal produces about 2 megawatt hours of electricity, and the process only consumes half that amount. But rounding up, adding 13 MW hours to 2 MW hours, the entire process of creating a ton of silicon and converting them to solar panels consumes about 15 MW hours of electricity.

750 panels x 400 Watts equals 300,000 Watts, or 300 Kilo Watt Hours per hour. In ten (10) hours, those panels produce 3 MW Hours of electricity, and in fifty (50) hours, they produce 15 MW Hours of electricity, meaning solar panels break even within the first 50 hours of operation. Considering the average panel produces at peak efficiency for 20 years, and can last another 20 on top of that if well maintained, there is NO FUCKING WAY manufacturing solar panels consumes more energy than they produce.

Keep in mind, those are LOW estimates.

actually not much of an issue anymore. we just hadn't built enough of them yet.

since they're stationary, even heavy, cheap, ancient tech like lead acid works just fine. hooking more of them into the grid even lets fossil fuel plants run more efficiently (they can spend more time at the top of their efficiency curve without worrying about overloading the grid).

NTA, but unfortunately, because the Earth is finite in volume, the ground is also finite in volume, and accessible coal and oil exist only in the first dozen or so kilometers of the surface.
production of these substances from continental subduction and metamorphism in the upper asthenosphere is only able to renew these materials at geological timescales. they are used at far greater rates than they are produced.
each ton of silicon used to produce a solar panel is not consumed during use. broken solar panels can be reused as feedstock for new solar panels - the silicon itself never goes away. same with lithium in batteries.
solar panels only run out of utility when the sun dies, and at that point we have bigger problems.

i'm certain you asked this question in good faith.
