>To make an analogy maybe you can appreciate, think about the way Trump is being investigated for 3 new things every month

american national politics are a ridiculous dog and pony show, and a complete disgrace to our great nation. i don't care for trump, hillary or any other two-faced bastard who makes their living putting on a show.

what do you want? less police presence in black communities? you know there are already a lot of black cops, who probably discriminate just as much if not more than white cops do.

Who's best pony, /sci/?

>shills have no arguments whatsoever
>desperately trying to derail and shut down the thread
This shit is too good to be true. It almost looks like OP is samefagging himself with obvious bait and strawmans.
Glow niggers are the one-trick pony of the internet.
>you're dumb lol this thread is retarded, science is settled. lol flat earther btfo stupid boomers.

That's a valid argument only if you insist on a static model which has zero capacity for improvement. The shuttle failed not only because it's design philosophy and technology were insufficient for the intended task but because government programs are generally created with the goal of farming money and creating a static job market rather than generating value. On top of that the lifter/payload dilema is a self-feeding vicious cycle, payloads have to be super expensive because they have to be ultra high quality and made of super light materials to be launched by anemic launchers. There is no desire for better launchers because payloads designed for inferior launchers are hyper expensive. The argument against more economical reusable rockets stands only until somebody decides to pony up the investment to build a better launch infrastructure. The start will be slow because payloads will still be costly, however not all payloads have to be, things like station habs can be constructed with common materials and with the right incentives an industry can arise to create many of them. Certain manufacturing techniques can only be experimented with in zero gravity, and satellite megaconstellations promise to overturn the models of more limited service providing systems in time.

honestly.. why would they make such a dog and pony show of this OBVIOUSLY EMBARRASSING NIGGER-RIGGED TRASH-DILDO ?

Is this a litmus test for elon to see just how gullible the NPCs are currently? makes zero sense


>HEY GUYS, LETS STAPLE TOGETHER THE RUBBLE PILE NEXT TO THE FREEWAY IN THE OVERGROWN SHRUBS, MAKE IT LOOK ALL LUMPY AND MELTY LMAO NEXT TO THE CAMERA CREWS LMAO

Goes along with the theory that the US military is only around to place a physical health bar, and not a very high one at that, then pays you enough money to have 5 kids and a pony car.
It might be unbelievable, but the majority of people in the age range of 18-35 are not in good enough health, or have hereditary conditions that disqualify them. If we let those persons struggle in the world and bankrupt them with health care bills, they can't afford to breed.

I remember reading something about an interstellar internet type setup, where you link up databases/computers with laser/radio connections to each other communicating at light speed, swapping messages like a real slow pony express, on different worlds and exchange information that way.

its not like star trek with its subspace radios but its something

>>10974003

Yeah, lets spend coin on making the dregs astronauts by 'deporting them' to space. Except a minute ago we were leaving Earth ourselves because you didnt want to be around degenerates.

I think you just want an excuse to ride a space-pony and play with ray-guns. Because your "points" were pure shit. You want to defend white-flight all the way off our own goddam planet one minute, then pay to 'deport' people off Earth the next instead of just returning them to compost for next to free.

just stfu if you have no goddam actual answers.

>spirits and ghosts and invisible pink pony waifus have no evidence
never mentioned any of that
>shit would equally apply to cats or slugs or jellyfish.
the whole point is that it applies to everything. Not going to waste time explaining intro philosophy to what sounds like a STEM freshman. Let the dead bury the dead.

>>10881240
yeah except the fact that we are animals and your “consciousness” shit would equally apply to cats or slugs or jellyfish.

i’ve never seen a cat spirit influence any of my results in the lab, so i conclude cats don’t have spirits in a physically relevant way. and neither do people unless you are a shill scientist. spirits and ghosts and invisible pink pony waifus have no evidence, so believing in them is stupid in the scientific sense

>>10876806
it's not on us to disprove magic, anon. it's on magic believers to prove that magic exists.

i mean, what if i said that instead of angels, it was invisible pink pony waifus? can you disprove that?

we have math that works without angels, and the idea of angels doesn't help anything.

i know this is a troll post but you seem legit confused and i think your OP pic related is kind of nice so that's why you get this (You)

>>10832201
I'd post the webm of a man fornicating a snake as response.. But everyone seen that before.,
And I can;y find where I but a snapping turtle forcefully preforming deep throat.without the bad end that should be a certainty.

But the point is. If has to be recycled for amusement. Then our waifu a shit
Because pony does it.

>>10807402
you'd think that, but in my experience in the left, you either get one of two really retarded non-materialist standpoints that define how those people typically work

1)
>i go to yoga class and drink kombucha and get herbal medicine because the medical establishment is corrupt. muh chakras are real
2)
>i reject science and materialism because that is patriarchy. science doesn't know shit about me and muh identity, i can be a girl or a pony if i want to. just read foucault and the standard texts of post-structuralism. everything is a social construct, so it everything in science, scientists are just patriarchy so fuck that, i can believe in whatever i want, i make it so, i'm a fucking empowered woke queen

neither of these seem to jive with my very scientific viewpoints on things

Math majors (grads and undergrads), professional mathematicians, aspiring mathematicians... how many math subjects do you study at once?

I'm curious about the study habits of other mathematicians. I mean in addition to your coursework/ research/ professional endeavors, how much time do you devote to studying other math subjects? Do you, or do you just focus on one thing?

I once heard it said that in order to be the best mathematician you can be, you need to keep studying, keep branching out, never becoming a one-trick pony. Do you guys believe this is so, or do you just focus on the work at hand? Also, do you spend much time reviewing subjects you learned in the past? For example, if you're an undergrad senior, when's the last you opened a trig or college algebra book? If you're a grad student, when's the last time you went through your introductory number theory text? Is it important to continuously review past material?

Sorry for all the questions, just curious about how the pros do it. Also, pic unrelated.

they’re looking for a Langan type idiot to say they know for sure that it’s god or qi or anime waifu pony fairies. they don’t realize it’s a meaningless question

>Throwing money at problems is not a viable method of solving them.

Depends on who you throw it to. Pic related.

>Internet. Satellite communications.
Why didn’t you answer? Hmm...

Not him, but surely you did not miss his point. Neither satellite communications nor the Internet existed back when somebody would have possibly asked the "guy with a horse" question. Somebody (multiple somebodies) had to get busy, invent stuff, do research, and all that good shit. They had to develop telegraphs and telephones and radios and electronics along the way. And we now have systems in place that the smartest men alive back in the pony express days would have deemed impossible.

So is fossil fuel burning really the only way to power a modern world economy? It is right now -- just as the horse and rider and written message were back then. I wonder if we could find better ways, without hamstringing the economy, if we put the effort in.

>You believe aliens exist.
I believe extra terrestrial life exists yes, now why does that make me similar to people who claim to be abducted with no evidence and believe there is a massive government cover-up of aliens? Sounds more like your domain.
>It's a belief
Belief based on centuries of facts, retard.
>A fact would be that there is an area above us the public are unable to go to.
Unable according to whom?
>Claiming you know what the lights are in the sky etc is all faith based.
Wrong. Telescopes, spectroscopy etc all exist and have been known about for centuries.
>Don't you realise how absurd it is to land on the moon first time, then take off, dock with Michael Collins, and land back to earth?
Why are you acting like Apollo was the "first time"? Do you have any idea what Apollo 10's purpose was? You're so historically illiterate it's pathetic. Read up on the thing you're trying to discredit for once, and I mean read, not watch some crackpot on YouTube.
>All in a vacuum
At a pressure difference of 5psi, which is pretty small.
>alien moon gravity
*known moon gravity
>Everyone would visit the moon if it was safe and easy and relatively affordable - there'd be plenty of money in it.
Is that seriously your pitch to Congress as to why they should pony up billions for more manned moon missions?
>I believe re-usable rockets were already a thing before Musk did it
Examples? If you're referring to the shuttle boosters explain HOW reusable they actually were.

no because corruption making it a zero trick pony
A proper space industrial base would be able to easily service it
had they not been embezzling fuckwads, we'd have numerous stations at the Lagrange points by now, which would be next door neighbors to JWST's intended spot
