Okay so evolution is very strange, like the idea that people enjoy the sound of rain when sleeping was developed through evolution for a specific purpose to live longer. But my question is, how many generations of humans were born between the time of being blobs to being monkeys to the time of being intelligent humans? Basically how many things live/reproduced/died to create us?
Would we even care about the same things we do now?
Today there were pickles in my burger and I just paused, I didn't feel anything. And then I ate the burger with pickles, and I just didn't care.
I think I know how it feels like to be god, now.
I don't even like pickles.

Both my parents have blue eyes and medium brown hair which I have inherited also but my brother's hair is darker, almost black and his eyes are quite distinctively green. What's the mechanism behind this inheritance, how likely is it and is it better explained by my mother being deceptive about who the father was?
>The ultra-reflective paint could help keep buildings cool without air conditioning. >The new paint reflects up to 98.1% of sunlight, compared with the 95.5% of sunlight reflected by the researchers' previous ultra-white paint based on calcium carbonate. >The scientists estimate that if 1,000 square feet of roof were covered with this paint, it would provide a cooling power of 10 kilowatts, more powerful than the central air conditioners used by most houses.
we've been busy building all these complicated HVAC machines for years and years when all we needed was some slightly whiter paint. Nice job, engineers
Books on fun and interesting math not normally learnt in the classroom, and also requiring a fair amount of mathematical maturity (advanced undergrad for example). So no pop-math books.
An example would be the topics explored in PBS' Infinite Series youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs4aHmggTfFrpkPcWSaBN9g
I recently ordered Conway's Numbers and Games, and I believe that fits the bill.
ok so lets say i am taking 5mg aripiprazole daily but i am a known cyp2d6 poor metabolizer
pic related the box plot shows mean change in AUC is about 2x for genetically CYP2D6 poor metabolizer
ok so "the area under the curve (AUC) is the definite integral of a curve that describes the variation of a drug concentration in blood plasma as a function of time "
ok so is 2x increase in AUC equivalent to taking 2x the dose daily so the cyp2d6 poor metabolizer effectively would be taking 10mg?
would 10mg dose daily have 2x the AUC of 5mg daily?
so like if f(t) is the function "describing the variation of a drug concentration in blood plasma as a function of time" for 5mg daily, and g(t) for 10mg daily
then is g(t) = 2(t)? which would make the AUC of g = 2 * AUC of f because of the constant multiple rule
any way to calculate position B from A, given the leg's angle and position so that the animation becomes balanced and correct in motion?
what are the properties that affects the whole thing and how much is the incremental values (since the motion comes in frames, the values are incrementally "consistent" supposedly) and how to find out how much is it, in angles, and 3d vector maybe
