What if we abolished the decimal system and adopted the binary system for everything?

/sci/, why are scientists all so fat, ugly, foureye'd and bald?
if science is so admirable then why does science attract such hideous people?
Anonymous
>>13568567 The ugliest people in society are shunned, and they are forced to learn to be by themselves and not have things handed to them. This creates a deep drive in them and they eventually overcome the society at large in some parameter, for example intelligence. This is a property of evolution, even. Think of the Homo sapiens that were driven out of Africa because they were the weak and the ugly, the eventually became stronger

Can any chem fags confirm this is accurate?
Ive tried googling around heaps for information on air solubility and properties of hydrogen cyanide in the air but shit only pops up stuff about the aqueous solubility of actual air and other unrelated shit. Is gaseous solubility even a thing nigger?
I dont know much about the actual supposed gas cannister mechanism but i would have assumed the gas is already formed in the cannister and it merely releases the gas.
helping plox.

>>13567853 >air solubility Not a thing. Wouldn't matter much anyway since it'll concentrate in your body whatever % of the air it is.
It's lethal at a few hundred ppm but boils (1 million ppm) at room temperature.

are there math for balancing two similar parts but "opposable" like legs and hands in a cycle motion like walking?
basically making sure the "center is balanced" using left and right kinemacy or something?

>>13563795 you dont prescribe the for example the torque by giving a fix value with result in some speed. instead you prescribe a speed and calculate the forces. this is all abvery rough explanation but i hope you get the idea

>>13563816 i think i kinda get it but i ve nevwr calculated torque so i cant imagine it...
i think i do have force and speed of sort but i am not sure how to iterate "balance" from those.

>>13568025 with what? In practice you may have more than two limbs touching the ground, so it's no longer a biped. Then your control algorithms get weird. Most typically people just use fast running optimizers to solve for forces applied to the ground

Would self-mummification,as practiced by some sects of japanese buddhism, be a good idea if we consider QI./omegapoint, or whatever secular,transhumanist form of immortality is true?
the DNA would be more preserved,the body almost intact,even the organs wouldnt me SO messy(remember the brain is an organ):

>>13565898 You're 90% of the way there but you forget about these companies uniting together to conduct studies that show their shitty products aren't shitty. The food industry has all kinds of research institutes that pump out self serving studies that minimize the horrors of their products. Since this is an industry wide effort, it means all players are complicit. If they similarly worked together to create guidelines there were all required to follow, none of them would get an advantage over the others.

I cut down on foods with added sugar a few years ago and my taste buds completely reconfigured to match my new diet. Now things like soda, ice cream, or candy are inedibly sweet while fresh fruit tastes like candy to me. Same thing with salt.

Bene living 2 weeks with 2 sick family members eat the same food as them, the same restroom, etc. I have no symptoms, does this mean I would still need the vax?

Is management of traffic a good metric of accessing the average iq of a region?
I notice places like India and Africa, which have very low average iqs, have abysmal traffic. Meanwhile high iq places like japan have very streamlined traffic

Quoted By:
>>13567003 It probably correlates more with social trust, rather than only IQ. For example I lived in Massachusetts, a relatively high IQ state, and traffic was awful because everyone was working against each other and anywhere there was a merge it would automatically devolve into stop and go traffic. Other parts of the US with dense populations but friendlier attitudes have much better traffic.
