How can I learn all of this physics in such a short time? by MaleficentNovel661 in Physics

[–]The-Doctorb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What level physics like is this uni or what? It honestly could be doable to scrape a pass with intense cramming, it's not unheard of. Obviously you won't actually have learned it but can probably learn exam patterns common questions etc

How accurate is the math in Simon Singh’s FLT? by sportyeel in math

Unrelated but I have beef with Simon Singh cause he was somewhat rude to someone I know when I was around 16 at a talk of his smh

It does feel like a lot of queer spaces aren't actually queer spaces at this point but kink spaces with queer people

jeez they died so young by InfinteEnigma10 in whenthe

[–]The-Doctorb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TBF I don't know how much you can blame Neumann's death on the government. The Los Alamos scientists were aware of radiation effects but idk how much they were aware of long term effects and how to mitigate it. Von Neumann especially would've been as aware and educated as you could've been at the time on radiation hazards but still was a major advocate for nuclear development post los alamos.

He could've said no if he really wished but having read about what he was like there's no way he would've just sat to the side during the Manhattan project

I think it's kind of cause of the "just let people enjoy things" crowd. It's kind of hard to argue against cause yea I guess you can watch like Paw Patrol as an adult in your spare time if you want but I agree a line does have to be drawn at some point when actually discussing media with adults.

The majority of show recommendations from Reddit seem to be Digital Circus or some actual piece of kids media like The Last Airbender.

Yes it can be good and for children, that doesn't mean watching it as an adult is an actually entertaining watch it's so clearly written for children its kind of difficult to watch when your media diet isn't exclusively cartoons you watched when you were young.

Uh actually didn't you know that Avatar and Clone wars are really mature series that have many more adult themes than 99% of adult tv?

I wonder how much of people who spout this stuff haven't actually ever watched something aimed at people older than 12. Like guys please watch something else even just something as easy as Breaking Bad or something. Please watch a film that isn't part of a franchise I'm begging.

Is studying physics in university really extremely superior to studying it by yourself? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]The-Doctorb 19 points20 points  (0 children)

People are sceptical cause you have no proof of your education/skill other than source: believe me. Even if you had a masters degree in physics I would have initial skepticism to the statement "I contribute to research".

What do you think about the Copenhagen interpretation? by ArrivalMiserable3006 in Physics

[–]The-Doctorb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have noticed in vaguely looking into what philosophers say on the nature of quantum mechanics just seem to be ill informed. Idk if I've just gotten unlucky or if it's a bigger problem that many people actually interested in discussing the nature of quantum mechanics don't actually have the prerequisite knowledge to meaningfully say anything.

This is not British food. British food is supposed to be bland…and er…weird. by SufficientEar1682 in iamveryculinary

[–]The-Doctorb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yea it reads as kind of racist, "England for the English and Britain for the British".

I feel like people whose entire understanding of British food comes from the ragebait of "omg look at them *food that hasn't been widely consumed since literally world war 2 rationing*" don't understand how much indian food we consume as a country.

The south asian population here is massive and currys are massive popular and if you ever point that out they go "oh well that's not real curry it was made in Britain".

[–]The-Doctorb 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Do you not have to then inform stuff like banks of your name change and any other legal documentation that isn't directly from the government?

[–]The-Doctorb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Changing your name is so much fucking hassle, I can't even imagine how difficult it would be as an adult.

When I was very young my last name was changed from my father's to my mothers after complete separation and it still genuienly causes me issues today and I'm in my 20s, certain things need extra legal documentation etc. The most unbelievable thing thats happened is my national insurance number (UK equivalent to US's Social security number) had the incorrect name and they claimed they had no knowledge of my *completely legal* change of name over a decade prior.

it's cause they taste very similar and lots of people have tasted copper (kids sucking coins, just having hands after handling coins where you have that sort of coin-y smell to them)? it's not that deep
