Yeah shrooms are way more likely to give you the ability to think through legitimate problems than generate spontaneous bad ideas. Still though, give it some thought when you come down.

Also the real big ones frequently take the back door. Training can rearrange the corridor.

Oh for sure, but not free

Uh, internet costs money

I’m really not sure you understand the concept. Maybe think on it a bit?

I recommend reviewing the coastline paradox. It’s an interesting problem.

I am. How else would you measure a coastline? The exact line is constantly changing with waves and the tide, so to get any kind of answer requires that you decide where the coastline is and mark it somehow. Driving nails into the waterline at the same water level and adding up the distances between them isn’t really a bad approach.

I wanted to be a mechanical engineer growing up, I was always playing with Lego and building little mechanisms. Then I had a physics teacher who got into the subject of physics vs engineering. He told the class about his brother who was an engineer for some electric motor company, and how his team would spend 18 months fiddling with the parameters of a motor, and they’d throw a party if they increased efficiency by 0.5%. I couldn’t disagree with his assessment that that sounded boring and soul-draining.

It sounds like the perfect job for a certain kind of person, and I am not that kind of person.

Everybody poops, and if they don’t they’re an android

Ooh, I wonder if this is just a goofy stock photo, a sincere attempt to measure the length of a coastline, or an illustration of the difficulty of that task.

Oh no, please, don’t. Hypothetically, if I were to anger you further, would she get floofier?

I think the joke is that 110.000 years is very precise, but that precision isn’t very useful when you only identify where that measurement zeroes as vaguely as “sometime this week”.

Guess biology isn’t STEM then, sorry.

But in all seriousness, calculus (and by extension differential equations) is super common in bio. Reaction rates, stable population sizes, micro and macro. I’d be surprised if you never came across it.

My subjective interpretation of STEM is “degrees you need to know calculus for”. They’re all math heavy, with precise answers. While the arts are certainly important, I just don’t see how they fit that motif. What is this supposed to accomplish?

Yes, during which various consequences for the previous 4 years transpired. The effects of his first term rippled on for years. Several ongoing court cases against him for actions during his first term ran long enough to be dismissed because he got elected the second time.

Also did you just not attempt to learn absolutely anything about the time you were away?

How does that have anything to do with what I said? What I said was

In any ethical framework, the trolley problem presents you with the conflicting guilts of action and inaction. The ethical frameworks don’t do anything but justify whichever guilt you choose.

When did I say there was a right answer?

Then you had 5 years to witness the fallout from 2019 to 2024.
