Ask Valentas

Even though I'm young one compared to the People like Architect and BAP, you can ask me questions.

Have fun

How many solar masses is the nearest neutron star?

 

[Architect]

I'm curious how you're comfortable with calling yourself IXTP, why is that? Surely you're one or the other, either you prefer theory and am some kind of absent minded professor (but you have S in the tertiary) or you prefer more the sensory world with intuition (Ni) in the tertiary.

Do you like daggers?

Who am I?

No, Seriously.

"If you have read any of my post" how would you type me?

Not, saying this to cheat and not do my own research/investigation I just find it interesting to look at others interpretation of myself.

It tells me a lot about them too.

Do you like travelling? If yes, what kind, and do you find it draining?

I watched the series called 'The Universe' and as they explained, neutron stars are very dense objects which probably means that they contain hundreds of thousands times mass of the Sun. It did not really surprise me at all. I watched enough documentaries about the Universe and saw gamma-ray spewing objects, pulsars and other interesting high-energy phenomena. Also, remember super-massive black holes. These are dense objects and big too.

Because it depends on the day. Usually, I'm hidden in my room from all other people, trying to make sense of programming.

On the other days, I spend less time doing programming and instead go to the gym or do something different, for instance, meet new people because I found that I don't have true friends and plowing through life alone is very inefficient and, at times, frustrating.

To be honest, here are my test results: whenever I'm taking MBTI test, I get INTP. However, I had a pleasure to read Kiersey book 'Please Understand Me' which typed me as a more sensory person. This is why I'm comfortable to be a split of N/S.

Here is what I typically do:

1) Get up at 5 a.m. Prepare some food and go for a walk outside.
2) Get back to my room and start learning process about programming.
3) Do this until 10-11 a.m. and then do a break for two hours working outside or helping my family.
4) Back to programming and Web surfing.
5) 5 p.m. get my ass outside and do weight-lifting for 30-45 mins.I get bored doing more.
6) Spend an hour or so reading about Haskell and implementing Java solutions in it.
7) About 8 p.m and it is the end of work today. I spend one hour a day reading books until 10 p.m. ('The Power of Introverts' ) currently.

But this is why N schedule.

There are days when as I said, I spend little time in front of computer and instead go to find people or just wander around the city and it's suburbs.

Nope. However, I admire that universal and compact thing: a knife, corkscrew etc.

When I first saw it, it seemed so simple and at the same time you could see genius in it hah.

Do you like travelling? If yes, what kind, and do you find it draining?

Travelling...It depends.

What I found about all this travelling stuff is my inability to adapt to new environment fast.

Also, I hate the trips where you spend several hours in some city and then go to next one. I always wanted to explore it more, see more.

However, I have one place I love. It is mountains. My dream country was and will always be Switzerland. I was there and the mountains were stunning. If I ever decide to travel somewhere next summer, it is Switzerland.

But in the end, travelling is draining. I cannot count how many times I was in relief to finally get home. I think it is good for 3-4 days. If I am away for more, then it starts to feel uncomfortable. Also I prefer to travel to places where I can acquire knowledge about something. I hate laying on the beach, it always seemed waste of time to me. I don't like museums too much also. My current aspiration is to go to climb to some mountain. Not because I want to but I like mountains.

I think typing people to me by using their posts as an indicator is a silly endeavour. I cannot type people rightly when I talk with them, what to talk about some posts on some forum. However, I found one very important indicator who is definitely some intuitive type: it is long post with concrete thought process. I can follow fast even though the topic might be hard. In other words, the author is able to express his thoughts by writing very well. It shows to me that a person thinks and thus is an intuitive. A lot of your posts seemed easy to follow which hints to me that you CAN be N type, everything else is your story. For instance, you say you deviate from decisions quite frequently which means you probably are not a J type. I can suspect you are an introvert. E types are not a frequent bunch on these boards.

Not hundreds of thousands of times, more like two or three times. But it's all in an area with the diameter of Brooklyn, with a tablespoon of material weighing as much as a mountain range.

Thank you for the effort.

You have some good incite.

Nice correction. I have no idea why I said it is a lot more than 2-3 times... I remember some strange object in that series and they said it is very high in density and mass. Neutron star... Fascinating object. The last time I saw something about universe was last year so some facts about the Universe have been mixed up in my mind. Also I did not really study in depth.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood equal to the number of cubic meters equal to the greatest x of the solutions to the equation sqrt(x^4-5x)=y, where y is the 200,000th digit of pi to the right of the decimal point. Express your answer in units of standard American board feet.

If it were early in the morning and you were in highly inconvenient and head-mashing pain, but nothing horrific, just perhaps a tummyache that refuses to be quelled but paralyses the entirety of your physical being because it feels just dreadful, what would you take to drink in the hopes that you would feel better?

Pure water. Or chamomile tea. My grandmother is knowledgeable about all herbs and she always advice people with stomach aches to drink only this tea. I advise everyone do the same because I once did a terrible thing: ate garlic before going to sleep. I woke up at night and my stomach hurt a lot...I was very terrified but I got up, drank a gallon of water, then boiled some chamomile tea. It worked wonders. BTW, after this event, I always keep water next to me when I sleep. You never know...

You could read in this file using any programming language as a string, access 200002nd element because 3. is the first two. And then you can solve it. Since I don't have time for that, you can do this on your own

Did you think of this question or is it some prank on the Internet? :}

It is my own question, and I was counting on you to answer it!
