I'm 20 something.
Both my parents (who pay my rent) and my boss (who pays my wages) are annoying the fuck out of me every day now to get vaxxed, and it's getting to my age group's date to be vaccinated so I can't stall anymore.
If I don't, I'll lose my job and have to either move back to my parents home and be a neet loser again. If I do, next year my salary will increase and I'll be self-sufficient for the first time.
But my chances of complications due to vaccine seem higher than due to covid itself, so which of the mystery juices is less likely to fuck me up?

More young people died from covid than from the vaccine, retard. What's the CFR of covid in young people? What's the CFR of the vaccine in young people? Please provide evidence for both numbers you use, and then tell me which one is larger.

We don't know if it's life-long however.

I wanted to be a brainlet and choose to take pre calculus this year. Is this too ambitious of a goal?i a mediocre understanding of Algebra 2 but need to refresh.
Iq is average but pretty ambitious and have great study habits if this is achievable what could I do to get an 99 overall grade. Any advice 4chan?

>>13448446 . i did business, visual arts, and took as many free periods as i could in highschool, and only the basic maths course to finish highschool because i hated school. it took one year of me doing a prep course and a six month intro to enviro science course to brush up on my maths and chem/bio skills and was admitted on my results. i'm consistently hitting 80% and higher on my tests/assignments etc.
if you want to go for it, and it's not just something you're resigning yourself to, then do it. if you're not a dumbass and actually apply yourself you'll be heads above the 19 year olds fresh out of highschool that are just going to uni because they've been sold the idea that they have to.
having said that i've had almost a lifelong fascination with organic chemistry, mostly drugs, and constantly read about them but beyond that i was building my knowledge from the floor up.

Why is time considered to exist?
It's a measurement of the state & position of things. There is no past/future, just differences of where something was and is now.

Quoted By:
>>13448353 You literally didn't bring an argument to the table, anon. Spacetime is the measurement system we use, there is no "time" in itself. A particle moving through spacetime is just a particle moving. Everything exists in spacetime. It's called reality. There are no 'frames' or segments of reality like a movie where you can go back and forth, or the smallest possible unit of time. It is simply not a thing. It's what we conceptually invented to track the movement and speed of things.
Come back when you understand what I'm saying here.

>>13448326 >Why is time considered to exist? Do you admit objects change? In any way? Then time necessarily exists. Time is defined as a regular interval between two events. You can distinguish the two events used to define time because of change, an object moving from its original state and then back to its other state in a cyclical fashion. I don't understand your objection, you smooth brained troglodyte.

Quoted By:
>>13448326 It's true that on a fundamental level time is nothing but a parameter and -- more interestingly -- all of the known fundamental dynamical laws are actually time reversal invariant. So in this sense it is indeed not clear why time "passes" and is not something similar to space, where one can go back and forth as he wishes.
Things change however, when you consider the unbelievable number of degree of freedoms in the macroscopic world. It is an interesting observation that systems consisting of large number of d.o.f show time _irreversibility_, even though the underlying (quantum) mechanical laws might be symmetric under time reversal. This is where statistical physics (including thermodynamics) comes into play and one should consider a quantity that is known from information theory, the entropy. It is reasonable to assume that the "passing of time" is deeply connected to information theoretical concepts.

I argue that cognitive development can be modelled using a logistic function. Thoughts? Do note that the ages from 0-5 are deceiving, since the cognitive development fraction of a 5 year old in this logistic function is over 100 times larger than that of a newborn. Interesting is the rapid spike on the onset of puberty, where I set the midpoint of 50% development to be at the age of 12.5: the onset of puberty.

Cute thread anon. I love it when high schoolers and junior undergrads come here during their early dunning-kreuger phases to post their "bright ideas" that actually make no sense and clearly demonstrate a lack of any real pre-requesite knowledge in the related fields. Especially when they try to talk all "scientific" and "technical" but you can tell they are just imitating from the specific and unessessary things they focus on in place of the more relevant concepts or considerations that are completely missing. But good on you for being Keen OP, keep up the good work you got this.

This is a thread for talking about anti-aging treatments and the root causes of aging and how to prevent them.
Here's a list of factors that contribute to the slow down of aging, I hope some of you can add some more:
- Caloric restriction and fasting. Less caloric intake means your cells don't divide as often and you age slower. Additionally, fasting has some perks of its own like ketosis, autophagy, neurogenesis, improvement of heart and liver function, stem cell regen, immune boosting, anti-cancer properties, GH production improvement, etc
- Ice cold baths
- Cardio and HiiT
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
- Turmeric/Curcumin
- Quercetin (Onion / Green tea)
- Sulforaphane (Cruciferous veggies like Broccoli)
- Fisetin (Green tea)
- Consuming only the necesary protein, no more, no less.
- Avoiding DNA damage sources (excepf for reasonable sunlight exposure)
- Sleeping 7 to 9 hours a day

Women run out of eggs, the menopause happens ... and given the rate at which certain risks increase over time (from the age of 35, the risk of Down syndrome by roughly 1% per year - to pick just one) aging is, clearly, not a bad thing when it comes to the capability of having offspring. Nature does not care, does not think; but it clearly sees replacement as more efficient than maintenance and repairs. Aging really is the biological maintenance and repairs systems we have failing. Scars, wrinkles, running out of teeth, deteriorating eyesight and hearing ... we can hide some of that, compensate for some of that. But not UNDO or RETRIGGER (it would be nice if there were a way to make us grow our own new set of teeth. Or full head of hair - that sort of trigger). Anti-aging just isn't - all things considered - a good idea. Just imagine a world of oooooold people ... complaining about the youth if today (that is, anyone younger) and their terrible music. The 'youth' that can never afford a house because all the houses are occupied and owned by the ancients.

the egg came first
every living thing has a cell, which is an egg without a hardened shell. eggs and mankind evolved together - the cell and the mitochondria. the mitochondria learned to exit the cell and create new cells, but only if they matched with a mitochondria of the opposite mutation (gender). one growing the egg, the other growing its contents.

It's the answer. There is no other answer.
Did you know: China's CFETR reactor is shooting for q=12. ITER is going for q=10.
USA's National Ignition Facility has failed. Inertial confinement fusion is not happening.
Whoever achieves viable fusion first will rule the new world.
It's no longer a case of "if". We have entered the era of "when". It's happening.
