>>14365829 i can tell that you're upset and emotional because of your use of insults. why don't you take a time out from the board, calm down and come back when you've gotten control of your emotions and can attempt to discuss science and math on a rational basis.
you aren't going to convince anyone of anything by screeching insults at them like an angry child, the people who you are screeching at will just ignore and rightfully so. its safe to assume that someone who is screeching insults at you means you no good and should be ignored, so your inability to control your emotions is standing in the way of your apparent goal of being convincing in your science expert act.

Saying x% increase when they could have easily given the old and new values
In the news they will happily say some testing equipment is 99% accurate without discussing false positive/negative or prevalence in the tested population, nor general population

Is there any scientific evidence or reason that could prove or disprove an afterlife? Not a god/higher power or any specific afterlife, but is any of it scientifically possible?

Frens. I got an offer to TA this class that I really, really want to teach someday. It would be awesome to get some time in front of the unwashed undergrad masses practicing lectures, and the prof is excited about me.
One problem. My "major" or whatever is Computer Engineering. I didn't really want this, but they accepted me early and made a fat fellowship offer so I couldn't turn it down. This class is Computer Science. They want me to change majors, and potentially advisors.
Now, I'm totally okay with this. My lab is great, I love my advisor as a person, but the research is kind of lame. I'd rather be doing other stuff.
Is it worth the headache to switch going on year 3? I've passed quals and everything in the CE school, and I'd have to do some heavy lifting to get into CS, maybe take a pay cut, but it would be way more fun, and I'd probably have a better chance of a tenure track down the line.
I'm so torn. I don't want to be a dick to my advisor, but I would love to switch, even if it means some bonus years in school.
What would you guys do?

>>14365731 Dude, I'll teach at a community college for minimum wage. I just love teaching people. It's so fucking satisfying. I don't care where. I know the market is shit, but it's gonna be a bit before I hit it.

It sounds like you know what you want to do, but you're scared to take the leap. Take the leap. If you're in a PhD, you're already in a position where you've given up a lot to pursue something on the grounds of passion. What's giving up a couple thousand a year to get what you want?

>>14364468 No, the silver coin has a bigger logo indented on it which means more of the silver is missing relative to the size of the coin, so even though the circle is bigger it's actually an optical illusion and they're the same amount of metal
