>A new and convincing video.
Only if you are gullible. There are several red flags in the video.
First off, at t=00:04 - 00:08 you see the sample stick to the magnet. That cannot happen if this had been the Meissner effect.
Secondly, when the sample appears to hover over the magnet, the magnet is moved around at t=00:19, the sample does not maintain constant distance. It is almost as if there is a second field there. That too is not consistent with the Meissner effect.

I used to look up you guys in academia, I used to think that you are better and smarter than me, a mere SWE. That you are actually changing the world while I am doing the manual grunt work as yet another office drone.

But hearing about the replication crisis and looking into research practice has made me doubt my beliefs. Maybe you academics aren't actually changing the world, at least not the majority of you. Perhaps you are just publishing meaningless papers because this is the metric that you are measured by. And perhaps you were just too cozy in university and were afraid to make a step into the free economy. Maybe I am the smart one. I earn more than you, after all.

Most of these essays are boring or they’re just common sense to people who live millennia after Hippocrates (or they should be at least). This essay is about correcting fractured joints. He talks about all the bones and sinews all over the body and how they differ in composition and treatment. He also talks about “setting bones” - chopping off gangrenous or injured limbs. This was a common remedy when the limb was too messed up beyond repair.


Here is a link to Galen’s preface to his commentary on the essay:

https://www.ancientmedicine.org/home/2021/7/16/galens-commentary-on-hippocrates-on-fractures?format=amp

He expounds that the intent of his commentary is to make clearer the obtuse language of Hippocrates. I do not own the book but I would bet it is a good secondary lit because the writing can be very dull at times or else, the language makes it difficult to parse.

Anything which could cure the patient he would support undoubtedly. He supported blood letting and chopping limbs off.
>>
>>15778336
I’m not sure about micro-fractures but Hippo knew there were ways the bone could be damaged which were not immediately noticeable. He says you can try “sounding” the bones which I am unsure what that even means.

Another thing to keep in mind is his odd language. There’s lots of stuff in parenthesis where even the translator had no idea what’s going on.

Is it reasonable to allow a group of 6 people, 4 jewish and 2 muslim, to publish scientific articles singing the praises of circumcision when they are all subject to strong religious motivations to promote genital mutilation?
Why is such an obviously biased piece of propaganda allowed to be published in the supposedly serious scientific press?
How come there are no authors from cultures which do not practice ritual religious genital mutilation?

>There's now a push for it to reduce spread of HPV
if they really wanted to do that they would advise against casual sex, prosecute prostitution, ban birth control drugs and make abortion illegal. those four steps would do far more to stop HPV than genital mutilation does. we already have genital mutilation and HPV thriving together side by side, so genital mutilation clearly does not stop the spread of HPV

Pretty much. Plus, it's been shown that it's caught completely asymptomatic even by skin to skin sexual contact and spreads over everything, even nuts. It would be like cutting off your finger because of a wart, but leaving the rest of the hand that still has warts.

>The problem is calculus. It makes very little sense to teach public high school students calculus.
https://www.reddit.com/r/me_irl/comments/16ui6ok/me_irl/

Do Americans really fear calculus this much? How can you do anything without calculus? How can you find the maximum or minimum of a function? How do you express a rate of range or accumulation without derivatives and integrals? Are plebbitors dumb or do many people not understand calculus/think they don't need it?

One guy pushing on the downswing is one man generating a waveform that interacts with the waveform generated by the swing. When he pushes he adds energy to the waveform of the swing with his own waveform because the waveforms are being added constructively.
>>
>>15776988
>>15777888
I misunderstood your argument. You're still wrong. The five people pushing represent a pulse waveform. All five of their waveforms are added together and applied to the swing which creates it's own waveform. It's still resonance.

One of the blackest blackpills about Vonnegut is that his writing is aimed at young teenagers. Theres no complex vocabulary or ideas, in his novels the chapters are all extremely short to cater to short attention spans. His writing is directly out of the Kansas City Star style guide "Use short sentences. Use short first paragraphs" and the Kansas City Star style guide was developed in 1900 or so because most of the newspaper buying public back then was of limited literacy.

If you make enough guesses as a futurist you eventually get one or two correct. Back in the 80s when the Jap economy was hot, Vonnegut wrote a whole novel about the inevitable Japanese takeover of America

Is it possible that the media is innacurately reporting an increase in droughts as the fault of climate change, whereas the true cause of an increase in droughts is due to increased demand.
Demand in 3rd world countries has increased immensely. For example, Pakistan's population in 1950 was 40 million, now it is 220 million. Without any chance in flood patterns of volume, the number of people exposed to flooding has increased.
The media then might state "the number of pakis exposed to flooding has increased five fold since 1950", and then in the article go on to talk about some unrelated aspect of climate change. Both statements would be factual, but deliberately misleading.
>>

Pakistan has over 240M people tranny, and the available water had gone down per your graph

>The Colorado River is in Pakistan

>>
>>15778403
I gave Pakistan as a hypothetical senario, try reading my post again tool.
>>
>>15778380
Try looking at the graph again. You will see how the supply though highly variable has no particular trend. Notice how demand starts well below the supply of water, and steadily increases until it surpasses the supply of water.
The demand then drops around the year 2000, but remains above the supply.

During this time where demand outstrips supply, the media will bitterly complain of droughts, how the cause of these conditions are climate change, and not simply an increased usage of water.

What was his answer?

>>15776452
Yes
>>
>>15775546
The Rhodesian approach to agriculture was that it was the white man's burden to feed African negroes so that they could breed like rabbits.
Savory's non-racist approach was to let Africans learn to feed themselves and have then starve to death on a grand scale in the process.
Nobody listened to Savory and Africa's population continues to double every 25 years as the whites continue to ignorantly feed the negroes, who will never learn to feed themselves.
