This is my plan :
Thread a cloth through the door slot, pin the two ends of the cloth to the lower drawer at a moderate height, pin right edge of the fabric on the right side of the cabinet door, the other edge is held by hand to help balance the fabric so that when open the door you can keep the fabric from stretching and cause the bow fall to the lower side

What would happen if we systematically removed people who believe in obviously wrong things like astrology, homeopathy, god, creationism, flat earth, etc? Could we eventually achieve a society where no one believes in bullshit or is it something deeper that can't be eliminated?

If I buy a CRISPR kit to improve my genes, will it work? I know there are some cheap CRISPR kits out there, but I heard they won't actually change the DNA in every single cell of my body

Thank you Elon Musk, I know you didn't do this just for the money and publicity.

To all the SUCCESSFUL math autodidacts: how the fuck does one learn math properly FROM START TO FINISH? The fucking /wiki/ is the biggest joke of all time which wasted a whole entire year of my life.

The first book, whose name I forgot, already dives into d=rt problems and using formulas without even explaining anything, like hello??? Isn't this supposed to be preschool? In other words for one who can barely add numbers? The other books in that section were just mental math tricks which prove zero benefit for someone just starting out and just contradict everything you will find in an actual good textbook.

Now for grade school, finally going to learn something useful (expecting to have gone from nothing to precalc by end). Algebra by gelfand for the first book ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. Like 90 pages long and it doesn't even have solutions. It's almost like someone went onto amazon and just kept pasting random titles to make up the wiki list.

I saw enough people here shilling basic mathematics by lang (AS A BEGINNER BOOK) so I thought, why not give it a try even though the author already states at the start that this is a review book for people who already know up to calc, but lets trust the smartasses of /sci/. Lang is a pile of shit meme author who is praised by wannabe high school math philosophers and I would always post questions from his book onto here nobody could solve them properly. Was always hilarious to reveal they came from and see everyone calling him out, obvious meme is obvious. And I just saw a "favorite books" thread over here right now and several of them had a few lang books, like how many of you have actually finished a lang read besides basic math/maybe his geometry book (which is so fucking horrible)?

Not Interested

I'm losing interest in taking a hold of the subjects I'm learning in school. I'm getting a math degree and last semester was fucking hard but great. I got a rigorous intro to basic math topics and I felt like I was accomplishing something.

This semester I'm taking group theory, cryptography and machine learning. I am bored to tears. Who the fuck cares about groups? It's abstract for no damn reason. Cryptography is lame, not really mathematical at all, just mess with inputs of algos and see if you can crack something. The machine learning isn't bad but the topics get way deeper in the swamps of math jargon to explain somewhat simple notions. And fuck it, just realized I missed an assignment due in an R programming class tonight.

Why am I like this
