Thank you both. It turns out it was just another way of writing the same thing, which I realized with Abe's post. Calculus is fun, but I get pissed when I can't solve those damn integrals and derivatives. e^x, ln x and x^x were a pain in the ass 'til I got the hang of it. Thing is, I don't learn...

I forgot to thank you, Agent Intellect. Thank you. ... I need help integrating this: ((1+(1/x))^(-3))*(1/x²) I got to -u^-2 / 2 (which is -1/2u²), but when you should replace u with it's original value, Wolfram lost me. I've done this over and over and I always get -1/2(1+1/x)² I compared my...

It's mostly about how it sounds, but good lyrics makes it special.

Futurama is back! Not with a good episode, though.

I like learning more about nature and how it works. From physics to biology. I love how atoms combine and organism organize. Particularly the simplest ones. I enjoy landscapes and the calmness and simplicity of nature. I also like to observe birds and other animal's behavior. It makes me enjoy...

Heat and Falling Down Heat made me dream about loneliness Falling Down made me want to buy a gun

Names, faces, preferences, people in general.

L'esprit de l'escalier - the predicament of thinking of the right comeback too late. history of my life (on the internet and not)

I think that already exists http://br.finance.yahoo.com/noticias/bind-biosciences-publishes-data-bind-180000916.html

One thing I don't understand is suicide notes. I mean, if I would suicide it would be because I have no reason to live anymore nor I care about anything or anyone. If there is something you still want to say / do then you obviously care, and still have something to live for. Or maybe I just...

I get really frustrated when I don't understand the "why" of something that is "taught" in class. My general chemistry teacher always says "you'll learn that later on", but ffs how can I learn new and more complicated stuff if I don't have the base?

I just don't care when it comes to other people's business - like Cheese's talk, but without the why. I could work for the mob. But I ask "why" non stopping during class - calculus, chemistry, physics... every class. Although I just raise my hand some teachers don't like my almost abusive...

I think intellectual property should be extinguished, yet I don't think that would work on a capitalist society. Some protectionism is needed, but piracy is almost always the seller's fault. It happens for many reasons: # People can't afford/find the product, so they download it / buy it from a...

It's official, their equipment was giving misleading results, the speed of light hasn't been broken after all: http://www.forbes.com/sites/reuvencohen/2012/06/08/cerns-mea-culpa-einstein-was-right-neutrinos-do-obey-the-speed-light/

lmao and wow, frozen

By denying free-will one is not denying the ability of another to choose between two options, but denying the ability of another to arbitrarily choose an option instead of another, i.e. denying the possibility of a choice to be made without any natural cause - be it a sensory or a social factor...

lmao

Use spoilers, guys. They all start wars for power, none of them are "good". If I'd defend a king it would be Tyrion Lannister.

^ So not giving the opportunity to make (more) money with something should be a crime? That would have some strange implications depending on what materials you consider copyrightable. Let's say I have a magazine where I publish my jokes. People find it funny and pay for it. If someone that has...

This wasn't the thread I was looking for, but anyway, here's a guy's opinion I think it's worth sharing: kaiyovu56 Here is how I see it: Theft means that I take something away from you in such a way that you no longer have it, because now I got it. E.g. I could steal one of your books. The...

It's about embracing the chaos.

Re-watched Blade Runner, the version with <spoiler alert> best movie ever made, specially this version I think it was a heck of a movie <spoiler alert>

I've never had an (ideal) relationship where that happened.

Why? It's a rather useless routine that demands some work to be done in the morning. And this is the INTP forum. Fukyo I guess cleaning your sheets on a regular basis does the job, and if the study is valid you'd be avoiding dust accumulation and enhancing dust mites accumulation. Anyway...

I don't think the members of this forum make their beds so here's a good excuse if you live with someone: Research suggests that while an unmade bed may look scruffy it is also unappealing to house dust mites thought to cause asthma and other allergies. A Kingston University study...

Skipping class + Successful social interaction

first of two too

^ That's the fun of using Linux

Let's start a new OS. I give you the ideas, you do the coding.

I'm having the hangover for drinking too much beer on the open-bar party yesterday, so atm I hate beer.

Are there any mods btw?

You sure like candy. Want some?

I was in bed trying to sleep yesterday while trying to picture why linear approximation results in an approximation and not an exact result. Then I started testing some in my head: for f(x)=x², f'(x)=2x f(2+1)≈f(2)+1f'(2) ≈ 4 + 1 * 2 * 2 ≈ 8 f(3) = 9, error of +1 f(2+2)≈f(2)+2f'(2) ≈ 4 + 2 * 2...

First of all no one is purely INTP or whatever. You can prefer, for instance, a logical way of thinking over a caring/emotional one in some situations, and the opposite on others. You may also have only a slight preference for a logical way of thinking at a given moment, and a strong preference...

You talk as if atoms had will and could be treated as individuals. The brain IS a bunch of atoms, molecules, cells and tissues, but that doesn't mean that those structures, individually, have some kind of will or power over the whole system. The complex interactions, the chemical reactions and...

^ What are people but the particles itself?

Is that like, "you can't prove that 1+1=2 just by saying 1+1=2" ?

I think it can't be measured because of our technological limitations. Btw, somethings can be measured. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogBX18maUiM Why is that wrong in any way?

You pulled the words out of my keyboard.

snafupants Free will is the ability of agents to make choices free from certain kinds of constraints. The freedom of choice. This is quite interesting btw http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will#Physics Interesting, never seen it that way. It's not that the choice has no cause, though. What...

Today I watched a neuroscientist (PhD) lecture on the algorithmization of the living organisms and free will. He argued that we do not have free will. At all. All our "choices", ideas and our creative process is the result of non-arbitrary connections between the neurons strengthened or...

I have all these. I'm kind of a germ freak, but I can easily say to myself "fuck it" and stop worrying so much. But just for a while, then I get my alcohol 70%. I don't think I have OCD btw

not sure if this is the right place to test stuff :storks:

They give me 5GB of online storage space, for free! They're really cool. There isn't enough people to read all the information everyone is sending. They cold filter stuff like people looking for illegal content, but I don't think they do that as well.

Tip: Stay on the chopper spawn spot with <button you use to enter vehicles> pressed. You will get in immediately after it spawns.

Nope, just got a mate who I fly with. Mic + Good pilot/gunner + Caspian 64 = lots of kills, playing like any heli should

What exactly do you do?

Met this guy today. Didn't do a portrait because I have zero experience on doing it and 'cause I didn't want to disturb him anymore. Yeah I know, B&W and Vintage insta art, but I'm still a photo noob :c

It's been a long time since I last used it. The pump-action shotgun is better :) Got 2000+ chopper kills since I started the thread and 400+ jet kills

I respect my superior's decisions if they are logical, but my lack of discipline and my stubbornness will probably get me in some trouble by the end of the year if I get drafted. If it happens I'm likely to get arrested - and arrested again for resisting arrest.
