Notice how members of the nonhuman NPC horde all follow the same "no u" tactic. They are clearly incapable of forming thoughts or having a conversation.

Does modern medicine actually cure anything? I literally can't think of a single thing it cures. I see a lot of placebo or outright harmful treatments and some symptom relief, and sometimes they "cure" ailments by cutting off body parts, but doocters don't actually know how to cure even the most basic ailments, objectively speaking.

I'm a lazy mathlet, so my first thought was to estimate it using the Monte-Carlo method, but now that I think about what that would look like, the following occurs to me:
1. The components of the vector between two points inside the cube could be pulled from a triangle PDF
2. Calculating the PDF the squared distance would involve squaring the triangle function and convolving it with itself 3 times
3. A squared triangle function is approximated ell enough by a narrower triangle function
4. Convolving a square function with itself a bunch of times gives you a gauss distribution
So I guess the distance pretty much follows a Chi distribution.

>it seems like EVERYBODY has some sort of defecit.
Why does it surprise you that people develop various levels of dysfunction under the yoke of clown world? We already know every single aspect of modernity is bad for the human body and mind.

>Senna derivatives are a type of stimulant laxative and are of the anthraquinone type.[1] While its mechanism of action is not entirely clear, senna is thought to act by increasing fluid secretion within and contraction of the large intestine.
>While its mechanism of action is not entirely clear.
>The breakdown products of senna act directly as irritants on the colonic wall to induce fluid secretion and colonic motility.
what do they mean by this

also what are some mechanisms we only half know?

Hmm, fair point.

Why do they always build those quantum computers vertically?

Definition of sterile
>1 a : failing to bear or incapable of producing fruit or spores
Yes
>b : failing to produce or incapable of producing offspring
Yes unless you count weathering products as offspring
>c : incapable of germinating
Yes
>d of a flower : neither perfect nor pistillate
not a flower
>2 a : unproductive of vegetation a sterile arid region
For the most part, but sandy soils can be productive.
>b : free from living organisms and especially pathogenic microorganisms
Not really
>c : lacking in stimulating emotional or intellectual quality : lifeless
Dunes can be pretty inspiring

Is studying physics when I want to make a lot of money tarded?
