Uh no thanks. There’s a reason for the US’s lackluster pursuit of this tech. The fact that Project MARAUDER had such incredible success and then literally disappeared is the hint of the biggest weapons development project since Manhattan. People who actually pay attention to this kind of shit understand the F-35 program has facilitated the largest black budget in history, and I personally suspect toroidal plasma is a big part of it.

/sci/ is there any functional difference between the peer review system and a criminal conspiracy?
there is a legal distinction between the two, but other than that they are both groups of people meeting to agree on an agenda contrived for profit and agreeing to stick with the plan regardless what outsiders say.

Tbh it's more about confirmation bias. People are more accepting to what they like to hear, and more of a cunt with a fine comb with what they don't want to hear, especially autists which is a fair amount of the academic community.

The fine comb part is especially important because outside of objective science (i.e maths), you could argue a billion ways a paper could be flawed and thus should be dismissed (which fits into confirmation bias, since you will consciously/subconsciously gloss over the flaws if you agree with it, and notice them more if not)

I think black people might just have low IQ's in general.

"I would like to say that I have taken the WAIS IV test and have an IQ score of 75. I also do not have many of the traits mentioned. I don't consider myself an intellectual person, rather a practical person- I like physical work and activities such as cleaning, gardening, and I did well at sport events during school (I'm now 24 years old). So I'd like to mention there is a purpose for both intellectual/intelligent people and physical/practical people as both are important." -Black Woman from Quora

I forgot to add. I know many 'Low IQ' people that have found success and are very wealthy after learning to work for themselves. Having a low IQ does not mean your are subject to a horrible life. You just need to figure out what you're good at and leverage it to the best of your ability.

All the best my nigga.

>>13772839
The plug and play isnt hard, but getting a deep understanding is quite difficult. I never found DE's intuitive

I have always wonder,
is there a relationship between DE and recursion ?
>>
Something like DE is the same as recursive functions in functional programming except that there have (DE) no base case.

And the base case, which you have to use to compute, would be the analog of the initial conditions (the state of the physical system as t=0) in the DE, which you can use to solve it ?

Do you guys have stories of being productive with lack of sleep? Which point does lack of sleep hurt you instead of helping? Any stories if famous scientists or personal stores of juggling work and still making school a priority?

I’m determined to juggle my clinicals, work, and classes and just need a boost of motivation when I wake up after sleeping only 4 hours. I’m happy with my opportunities now but just want some stories of people “grinding” to keep me going strong

I'm fine with that. I accepted my mortality when I was a teen. Every milestone age I hit is a blessing. I'm surprised I made it to 30, and if I make it to 40 I'll still be surprised. Day by day, year by year. Life's too short to plan to live 50 years in the future. Live your best life now, because that's the only life you're guaranteed to have.

>The telomeric region of DNA does not code for any protein; it is simply a repeated code on the end region of linear eukaryotic chromosomes. After many divisions, the telomeres reach a critical length and the cell becomes senescent. It is at this point that a cell has reached its Hayflick limit.

Solution: CRISPR the telomeres copying the same sequence of code after each mitosis.

Or since DNA is lost after each repplication, find a way to protect mitosis process from damaging.

>After the first 100-µg dose, the mRNA-1273 vaccine produced detectable levels of S1 antigen in plasma in 11 participants, and spike antigen was detected in 3 of 13 participants.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.20.20156372v1.full.pdf
>Both S1 and N were detected in 41 of 64
COVID-19 positive patients (Fig. 1b and 1c), who we identify as “viral antigen positive.” We
observe S1 and N concentrations spanning four orders of magnitude in these plasma samples.
25 Despite the presence of S1 and N in some samples, spike was only detectable in 5 of 64 COVID19 positive patients (Fig. S4). Spike may be undetectable in some samples since the LOD is one
order of magnitude higher than the LOD of the S1 assay. Additionally, in the Simoa assay for
spike, the formation of a full immunocomplex depends on spike binding to the S2 subunit capture
beads and the S1 subunit detection antibody. Therefore, we hypothesize that free spike antigen in
30 plasma is likely proteolytically cleaved, releasing the S1 subunit, and the remaining spike protein
fragment is undetectable by our assay.

To summarize, the S1 antigen was found in 11 of 13 participants after the first injection and the spike protein was found in 3 of 13 participants. In comparison, the S1 antigen was found in 41 of 64 covid patients, and the spike protein in 5 of 64 covid patients. In other words, the detection of the spike protein and S1 antigen are higher in the recently vaccinated than in the infected. This makes some sense, an infection that's confined to the upper respiratory tract may never reach the bloodstream, and the bits that do will likely have been broken down by the digestive system. In contrast, we know the LNPs from the vaccines are reaching circulation almost immediately after injection.

If you want a trad woman marry a teenager. She might not be a virgin but due to age her body count has to be low(er).

further:
consider the series: 1/2^n
which converges to 1.
now consider 1/j^n for values above 2
now substitute each case into 1/2^n until you have 1/N + 1/N +...
where N -> h
knowing what we know about the field R 0 + 0 + ... = 0

what we really have is [h x 0] = 1
