Half of this shit isn't even science, it's just knowing the terms and definitions. I'm supposedly get paid to do science and I had to think back on some of these to recall what my K-12 education told me science is (as opposed to what I actually do on a daily basis).

To a lesser degree, I would consider interpreting a graph and basic math as science as well.

If you quizzed any top scientist from 150 years ago, they would probably get some of terminology/trivia wrong but that wouldn't mean they didn't understand science.

I think it is important do distinguish the doing of science from the fruits (results/terminology) of science.

The USA is all of that save from poor but hispanics living there sure are, so in the end nothing changed for them.

you clearly don't know a goddamn thing if you think the USA is at all comparable to the shithole that is Mexico, outside of the vacation spots and Mexico City. Whatever black on black violence you're (not) subjected to, which inflates the piss out of violence in the US, that isn't even close to the living nightmare-tier shit people who have to fend with drug cartels have to go through. And the real origin of all that shit isn't Mexico, it's Central America. And you can thank the CIA for destabilizing that region decades ago so that they can siphon of the drug business to fuel their black-budget ops.
>immigrants will always find someone to blame for their shitty lives so they don't have to own up to their mistakes.

Source?

A source. I need a source.

Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.

No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.

You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.

Do you have a degree in that field?

A college degree? In that field?

Then your arguments are invalid.

No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.

Correlation does not equal causation.

CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.

You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.

Nope, still haven't.

Given that races have different genetic for cognitive trait, we can assume blacks score lower because of their genetics, and the correlation with education level is a confounding variable because the actual cause is their genes. That's why men do better then women on this, despite the fact that women tend to be more likely to have higher education.

Do you understand what "range of motion is"?
Keep your body still, put your arms out in a T pose.
Keep your arms straight, and move them so instead of facing away from you at your sides, they are facing forward, in front of you.
Range just describes how far you can go between one point and another. In this case your *range* of motion is how far you can move your arms from your side to your front.
In the screenshot, the range is looking at how cold each city gets at one point in the entire year, and comparing it to how warm that same city gets at one point in the entire year.

It says that about the same amount of D's and R's are into legitimate scientists. I won't argue that but in my experience, about 90% of pseuds are D's.

I used to say that the difference between D's and R's was this: When I argue with R's, I can eventually get them to acknowledge my point and then they'll respond with something like, "Yeah, whatever. Logic is stupid anyway." For the D's, however, I can't get them to admit I have a point in the first place.

I will admit I had to use the elimination-method on the erosion question in that I only have a vague idea that erosion is something about (water?) tearing away at landmass
antacids were obvious when it was about countering acid and the options were what they were

Seasons are caused by axial tilt we have a mostly circular orbit with closest range being 147 million km and furthest 152 million km.

Take a lined paper. Draw a line, call it L, that is say 10 cm long. How would you make L go through as many of the lines on the paper as possible? how would you minimize it?

The lines are sun rays and more of the hitting the line you drew would result in higher temperature.

Correct. With no tilt, there would be no seasons. The seasons are from the earth being tilted towards the sun in summer and tilted away in the winter. When the tilt is towards the sun, the sunlight is concentrated over a smaller area, providing more energy per square meter. When the tilt is away from the sun, sunlight is spread over a larger area, providing less energy per square meter.

A pH buffer is a solution of a weak acid and it’s conjugate base. Any pH changes due to strong acids/bases being added are greatly reduced, because instead the acid/base shifts the equilibrium of the buffer.
