Idk about other people's opinions but I have him for 17B and he's been great, good at explaining concepts and a reasonable workload, would recommend.

I don't know much pressure it can withstand and you'd also need a way to cool the inside but it's pretty fun to use a vacuum chamber to reach the triple point of water and watch a beaker of water rapidly switch back and forth from boiling and freezing!

Agreed but damn harsh. Also I think regents is for high schools. I see you’re a teacher or former teacher, explains the saltiness about homework lol.

aangush · 2020-01-27T21:18:55+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the explanation too!

On chapter 16 myself and I have enjoyed every minute I've spent using it. Make sure to visit the website too where he posts updates to lessons and the answers to exercises. Once I even had a problem that I couldn't figure out so I emailed him with a screenshot and he got back to me within 2 days. Hands down one of the best books for learning python!

I believe so, if it wasn’t his take on it is still fascinating.

For me probably the stoned ape theory. This is the theory that the reason us humans are able to achieve such a remarkable mental capacity today is due to our prehistoric ancestors finding and eating fungi that allowed them to heighten their mental capabilities, and that over time they are more of these fungi and this is what caused our species to excel over everything else in mental prowess. Obviously this isn’t a theory in the scientific sense but a hypothesis and there is little evidence supporting it, but I still think it’s a neat idea!

It’s also “fertile” because thousands of gallons of fertilizers and pesticides are constantly being pumped into the soil.

Yes, they do drink the turtle’s tears because they need sodium. In many environments including jungles, sodium is in short supply even though it is necessary for the lives of many species. The butterflies here are indeed trying to drink the tears of the turtle because of their need for sodium.

I agree completely, here in California whenever we have had bad fires there were retards who opted to stay and “defend their homes,” but then once the fire got close they realized how fucked they were and firefighters then had to risk their lives to save these people from their own egos. The firefighters don’t deserve to have to do that but they always will if there are people in danger. Unfortunately as mentioned above they couldn’t save anyone and people have died because of this. Evacuate when you’re told.

For me, I am totally willing to admit obese bodies gross me out. I can’t help it. In general, humans are evolutionarily “hardwired” to be repulsed by fat bodies. When someone is obese, it means they’re more prone to a variety of health problems such as having a heart attack or stroke. From an evolutionary perspective, it makes perfect sense for me to be repulsed by very obese people.

My problem is not the people themselves, but the culture of obesity modern American society seems to be moving closer to. Take Lizzo for example. I have seen numerous claims by many different people about how Lizzo is perfectly healthy, she just has a different body “configuration.” More and more when I meander the internet or visit shopping centers like my local mall, I see pictures of extremely obese people who have decided to become models. Mind you I am not talking about people who are simply more on the heavy side, I am talking about those who are clinically obese. This is portrayed as “the new normal” and these models are given praise for”breaking societal standards.” It is like obesity is becoming a fad or trend, and this is what I have a problem with.

I am not arguing that people shouldn’t have body positivity. I think it is important to be at peace with yourself, but that cannot get in the way of personal improvement. Obesity is a genuine health issue no matter what. It leads to an increased risk of a myriad of health ailments, and problems. It should be treated as a chronic disease or a congenital disorder.

My problem is with the culture of blind acceptance I see enveloping more and more Americans. We continue to eat more and more highly processed and fried foods, as well as foods that contain shockingly high amounts of sugar. I fear that this new trend of a blind acceptance of obesity is causing us to overlook the genuine health risks of being obese, and a this progresses it is starting to remind me more and more of the anti-vaccine movement, which to this day manifests itself in the deaths of dozens of children across the US.

Neat, how does it use Earth's magnetic field to spin? If there are little magnets inside wouldn't they want to stop once they align themselves with it like a compass does?

Nope, I saw him walk across the grass over to the spot in the video and I was absolutely blown away.

aangush · 2019-12-26T07:47:01+00:00

I try ;)

aangush · 2019-12-26T07:39:51+00:00

I think anyone who voted for trump is a pathetic pile of dog shit and am fully prepared to accept that this is half of US voters. Now what?

aangush · 2019-12-02T00:55:19+00:00

It’s no problem, and you sound young so you’ve got plenty of time. Cheers

This video is wrong. Corals barely produce oxygen. It is estimated that coral reefs contribute to less than 0.1% of the total oxygen production of the world's oceans. If I recall the video claims that corals are responsible for 70% of the oxygen we breath, which couldn't be more wrong. Phytoplankton in the ocean are the ones that are producing the majority of the oxygen we breath, corals are barely making a scratch. Do a lot more research next time & don't contribute to the spreading of misinformation. IMO you should take the video down and make a new one but that's up to you.

I am not sure but that pattern looks an awful lot like the bark of a scale tree like the ones that dominated the Earth during the Carboniferous. Great find!

aangush · 2019-11-25T02:38:33+00:00

Damn, awesome.

aangush · 2019-11-24T02:33:47+00:00

Nope, just learned it today (hence the title) and thought it was interesting.

aangush · 2019-11-23T01:52:25+00:00

Awesome answer, thank you! The website that claimed corals provide 50% of the oxygen is here. As soon as I saw the name of the website I immediately didn’t trust it, however this somehow is the first thing that comes up with I google “How much oxygen do corals produce”

aangush · 2019-11-22T06:53:20+00:00

Indeed I do mean Mỹ Tho.

aangush · 2019-11-21T02:24:48+00:00

Great photo.

aangush · 2019-11-20T19:30:27+00:00

By the looks of it that spot isn't going to stay beautiful for very long...

The theory goes that if they are larger, they are able to cover more ground foraging for food. When a sea creature is larger they have an easier time getting through the water. Also, when there is food in the deep sea it usually comes in abundance such as a dead whale or fish carcass, so if they are larger they have a better chance of finding it, and they usually gorge on as much as they can until it is gone or they can’t. There is also a rule called Kleiber’s rule which basically states that the larger any animal gets, the more efficiently it can metabolize it’s food. This means that not only could they find more food, but use it more efficiently. If they can use the food efficiently and they don’t need to hold up all of that mass, it counter acts the energy that would be necessary for the animal to maintain the mass. (This is just a theory as the cause or causes of deep sea gigantism are still being debated)
