THIS.

"Everything in the military is phalanx. Even there bullets because they like to talk about there dick!" Crowd goes crazy and I get angry because of course rounds are phalanx you fucking idiot! Its an aerodynamic wedge

>mfw George Carlin

you know that feel when you study a shit ton for a calculus exam....

but when you're taking it, you suffer from a combination of
a) overthinking every problem
b) forgetting the underlying principles entirely
c) forgetting the strategies to approach certain problems

to the point where you're struggling to do shit like the integral of sint dt from 1 to x?

i HATE that fucking feel

The Fuck. Someone explain Nonlinear optics to me or point out a good, simple, easy to read source source

the worst part is when schools develop "special" classes for the adhd kids and such, and 90% of those classes are the over-diagnosed kind. a few of them are legit, the rest display barely any symptoms.

and the teachers talk down to them indirectly, stepping real softly in order to not get sued, and teaching them like they're dumber. The kids come out of those classes saying "we're in the stupid class". and i want to punch the fucker who diagnosed them.

also they get lots of government funding for the more diagnosed ADD students they teach. gee i wonder why they're so liberal with those diagnoses?

i'm mad as fuck

this guy claims fukushima was an inside job by the US navy in order to make the reactors blow up and harvest plutonium for nuclear weapons.

complex equations make me feel like I'm fucking retarded! Although at the same time, I want to have a general understanding of it.

But fuck it looks hard!

And religious fags fail to see the reason, and come to /sci to try and "reason" with us that there is a need to feel the unreachable is believable.

fucking power sets, /sci/
i have no idea why but i'm having a fuck of a time with discrete math.
it doesn't help that the professor has a very heavy accent, talks quietly, moves through content at light speed, and his in class examples are hideously complex and don't actually prepare one for the homework.

anyway, need to find the power set of these, and to specify it wherever possible. a and b are distinct elements

by the way, O means null

a) {O}
b) {O, {O}, {a}, {{O}, a}}
c) {O, {a}, {b}, {a, b}}

i apologize profusely for a homework thread, i'm currently making an actual science thread in response
