TheScaryDoor, in Roots of Mother Appalachia

The Rockies and most of the mountain ranges on the west coast were formed from the erosion of the Appalachian mountains!

What?

TheScaryDoor,

Basically sediment from the Appalachian region was deposited by ancient rivers and wind currents, with this sediment later being uplifted and then eroded to form the Rockies.

Btw, please don’t use Anti-Asian phrases created by a literal Pedophile in your debunks (Woo Woo)

All else I have to say is, knowing that amount of things you have to do to even measure this wave in the first place… There’s no great mystery here, it’s just “The ways we have to measure this thing are insanely shitty.”

I will die sadder than I can possibly imagine.

Tar_alcaran,

Btw, please don’t use Anti-Asian phrases created by a literal Pedophile in your debunks (Woo Woo)

Wut? I’m pretty sure this has been a derogatory term for pseudoscience since at least the early 90s. I dunno what you think the origins of the word are, but the only relation to Asian people or culture I can find are in the form of it being used to mock charlatans peddling vaguely Asian-sounding spiritual beliefs.

DrRatso,

This person can’t actually back the claim up, but they will double down on it.

HawlSera, (edited )

It was made up by James Randi, a crazy man who claimed he debunked meditation and climate change… Sure he’s also the reason no one takes Uri Geller seriously, but that’s like the ONE good thing he did…

James claimed it was based on music in sci-fi films, but the suspicious similarity to the asian phrase “Wu”, and his own contempt for Eastern Religious Practices are noteworthy.

Tar_alcaran,

He had one kerfluffle in '09 about climate change, but quickly corrected it. I can’t find the actual post, but ![scienceblogs.com/…/james-randi-stands-corrected-p](references to it) are ![discovermagazine.com/…/randi-skepticism-and-globa…](are plenty).

Nobody should be taking Uri Geller seriously, so that’s good.

The “Randi is a pedo” is from a very obviously take smear campaign that is about as real as any of the fraudsters randi debunked.

As for mediation, a massive number of the claims about it ARE fake. Randi has some very clear YouTube videos about his opinion on meditation.

It really sounds like you have a personal grudge against the guy. So now I’m wondering which of your beloved ideas he debunked, or if you simply didn’t spend the 40 minutes requires to research these claims.

HawlSera, (edited )

My argument is that him debunking Geller is a good thing, but it’s like the one good thing he did.

He’s definitely a pedo, did you completely ignore the Phone Sex Recordings?

youtu.be/5khkDtUzAlc

Randi tried to explain this away as a sting operation he performed with police, but… That makes no sense since if teenagers are calling him for sex, that makes Randi look suspicious, not them, I mean how they’d even get the number.

He also served as the primary science advisor on the False Memory Foundation, which was debunked as a kiddie diddling organization and disbanded shortly after in 2019

Signals changing, need spectrogram

Devouring, in Joy

People will always optimize their methods to maximize resource gain. It’s a fact of life since the dawn of life. Even animals do this.

I’ve seen cancer researchers lie to people with dead loved ones to get funding. I’ve seen physicists do bogus experiments that yield nothing with a nice dark matter story just to get funding… it’s become marketing at this stage.

This is my problem with climate change research. Those who attempt to oppose the “narrative” never get funding. How are we supposed to claim science is unbiased when bias is what’s making the results come out?

dream_weasel, in Why there are no time travelers.

Suppose you get the location right too, I assume the difference in momentum will… not be forgiving.

thepianistfroggollum, in How many?

Alright, I know where they went wrong here. There are more hydrogen atoms in a glass of water than stars in the universe.

There are about 1.58 x 10^25 hydrogen molecules in 8oz of water, and there are an estimated 10^22 - 10^24 stars in the universe.

Edit: super script markdown wasn’t working

Dave,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Is it wrong? I’ll do some complex math, so feel free to ask follow up questions.

Hydrogen atoms in one molecule of water: 2

Stars in the entire solar system: 1

2 is larger than 1 [citation needed]

thepianistfroggollum,

I’m sorry for your poor reading comprehension.

GBU_28,

Yep, the poorer of the two dudes playing lol

earned_myself_a_gin, in Are you interested?

Can someone explain this? Integral from 10 to 13 of 2x? It’s been a long time since calculus for me, but isn’t that like 2x² + c or something like that?

Mwallerby,

Just x²+c, but when you’re integrating between limits the +c doesn’t matter - so you’re just left with the difference between 13² and 10²…

Templa,

It isn’t that it doesn’t matter, constant of integration is only used for indefinite integrals.

Diabolo96, in The scales fall from my eyes

Choose the lazy route. I am good with learning languages so I went with a diploma in foreign language education. I can’t find a job but eh, even people with doctoral degrees can’t find one in this hellhole. I am pretty good with computers too but it’s meaningless without a certification and there’s no chance am gonna waste 6 month of my life learning basic office tools i already know / can automate programmatically. Sorry, needed to vent.

alcasa,

Tbf in most IT companies nobody cares about certs that are not on some form mandatory. A company caring about certs might be a negative signal to their ability to hire effectively for IT roles

Diabolo96,

Which i was living where you guys live but I am stuck in a third world hellhole.

I mean, it’s so shit that despite a regular monthly paycheck being around 150$ (less than half of India average paycheck ) we have very little foreign companies outsourcing to here.
