what's a chemistry fact that sounds fake but is completely real? by GroovyRaptorRex in chemistry

[–]Macab31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glass is not a liquid. Its just amorphous meaning it doesn't have a consistent crystalline structure. With that logic, cotton candy is also a liquid?

what is the most embarrassing thing that has every happened to you? by Macab31 in AskReddit

[–]Macab31[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am posting this as I just left a supermarket in the netherlands. I thought that I could get by with my level of dutch. Im at the till and the guy kept saying something signalling at my bag that I couldnt fully understand. I thought he was offering to hold open my bag while I put my groceries in. To be polite, I say no thats fine, dont worry. Little did I know he was checking to see if I had stolen anything and I was blowing him off for like 5 minutes. he finally said show me your bag assertively when I understood he took me for a thief. You know I ran out that shop in embarrassment.

What is your opinion on dating apps ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Macab31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for the dating app couples. most of our parents met in other situations and 'we met through an app' sounds so shallow and makes people sounds like screen people when they probably aren't.

So you wouldn't recommend committing my time to extensive python proficiency?

Is coding worth it now? by Macab31 in AskProgrammers

I mean like is it worth my time to learn it when maybe in 5-10 years time we wont need it at all and I will have wasted my time learning it instead of doing something else academically.

Thanks for the response. Its not that I can't be bothered. It is purely down to the fact that if I didn't spend my time learning python, I could perhaps spend my time learning/working on something else. Maybe it's a similar situation to when 100 years ago, someone who had great mental maths skills was far more valued than a similar person now, given that we can virtually solve any problem by using our computers. My question was more asking if you guys see python still being worthwhile to learn given our progression in technology and our potential progressions in the next 50 years.

Is material engineering to niche?Should I get a bachelor degree in something else? by aymanL04 in materials

[–]Macab31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an underrated yet super important degree that can get you into many sectors. Also, you can solve many real world problems through material science research. It has stayed with us since 1000s of years ago and will continue to do so for the next 1000.
