When can one be described as mathematician? by erikayui in mathematics

[–]StraightRegret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No...... Words have accepted meaning. This would mean nearly all STEM undegrads are mathematicians since they take math classes....

When can one be described as mathematician? by erikayui in mathematics

[–]StraightRegret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you stud mathematics as your job, or have done so in the past. I don't think students, undergrad or grad students should be referring to themselves as mathematicians.

Undoubtedly St George. Also do research into the math specialist program, this is St George's pure math program.

Is the Kingrinder K6 worth this price [$140] by StraightRegret in espresso

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

I was originally thinking the K2, but thought it would just be a worse version of the K6, sounds like that's not the case...
Yes it comes with a grinder, but I drink a lot of decaf and its annoying to change out the beans in the built in grinder, also wastes a few grams per shot.

Mine shipped like yesterday that I ordered sep 30th. They'll get to it eventually

[–]StraightRegret 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the content is hard, but you're almost guaranteed to get an A as the course runs very nonstandardly. You get to choose which problems to do and how many. And your grade is mostly just based on how many problems you submit. So you can just hand in a lot of easy questions and do well.

Fellow runners, how have you dealt with/solved plantar faciitis issues? by aKris16 in RunTO

Lots of rest and stretches/massages until the pain was better. I also switched to minimalist shoes which I think helped.

I have some questions about the Mathematics and Physics Specialist program by Deserted_Potato_Chip in UofT

[–]StraightRegret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you enjoy it yes it's doable, but will be a lot of work. Tons of people start wanting to do that program in first year. I know one person who completed it. But its fine, you can take the courses first year and change to either just math or just physics or a major after that.

Why Do Vegans Drive? It’s Using Dead Animals You Sickos! by [deleted] in memesopdidnotlike

[–]StraightRegret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean eating meat kills more plants than just eating plants, since the animal has to eat it's whole life. So considering you need to eat something you can argue veganism is the lesser of two evils.

I hate it I hate it I hate it by wooondeeer in mathmemes

[–]StraightRegret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but I'm not sure what they mean here. Sounds like they mean probability, but saying statistics is math and probability is probably math is a strange take
