I wouldn't throw it it out of the picture. Many americans are butthurt about Obama getting into office and not doing a great job in a fucking recession. Most of the others get butthurt when their idol gets picked on by the other Americans. The rest just don't give a shit.

OP, my comment stands. Banker.

> Government doesn't hold a gun to you and request shit
> Taxes on income
> Tax on buying stuff
> Taxes on living
> Jail time if refuse to pay taxes
> Free country

your own logic can be turned against you. Now stfu, and get back on topic.

OP, become a banker.

Herpes, not so sure we'll fix that any time soon. Not exactly as high as a priority as HIV. I also don't even remember what type of a virus herpes is, so I don't know the specifics on how it reproduces, which are fairly important.

Not sure if troll
>Curing HIV
>Not understanding how the virus functions

meh what the hell... I'll feed this mofo

stem cells: Beside all the WHAAAAAAmbulance crys coming from those people who somehow find stem cell research unethical, it's going amazing. We've done many great things with stem cells, and I have faith that we'll find a way to regrow functional nervous tissue soon

HIV will be very hard to "Cure." we would have to come up with an incredibly complicated and efficent mix of different chemicals to block the virus from reproducing further, and put the subject under observation, untill they were "Clean" beyond any doubt. Do not want super-AIDS.

Thus, the fail-safe.

Anyways, just let this thread die.

Plausible deniability is a legal concept. It refers to lack of evidence proving an allegation. Standards of proof vary in civil and criminal cases. In civil cases, the standard of proof is "more likely so than not" whereas in a criminal matter, the standard is "beyond a reasonable doubt" If your opponent lacks incontrovertible proof (evidence) of their allegation, you can "plausibly deny" the allegation even though it may be true.

By being on this site, you have to agree to the rules. When you click the "I agree" button, there's a little notice that says "I HAVE READ AND AGREE TO ALL RULES/REGULATIONS" or such. This has the advantage of a double failsafe:

It is in the rules that you must agree to the rules. Violation of this = termination of service

It is assumed that you have already read the rules if you arre using this site, because of the aforementioned "I agree" check box.

Plausable deniability is not what you're trying to claim it is, and it's alot easier to get around then you think.

Absence of evidence =/= evidence of absence

Just because you say something can't be disproven doesn't mean it's a fact.

It's like saying if you jump off a cliff, but close your eyes so you don't know when you'll hit the bottom, you'll only hit the bottom when you open your eyes. Reality doesn't function like that.

Turn gummy bears into rocket fuel. :3

All that stuff is meant to put a strain on OP's mind to learn, a bit of abstract reasoning, to think really hard about everything.

There are many studies that have linked musical instrument playing to higher IQ levels, I think the number for children was an average of 4 IQ points, which is hardly a number you can dismiss. That in mind, all kids have freakishly high fluctuations on IQ tests anyways, but this was a blind sampling. They tested some 500 kids IQs, then asked them after if they played any musical instruments.

To OP

Raising your IQ really isn't that important. Your IQ is more of a "Suggestion" of what you can do. I have a friend who took 7 IQ tests in a month. Why did he have to get tested?because he was failing nearly every course in jr.high school, and they needed to get a good idea of where his brain was at. Much to their suprise, he scored in the mid 140s every single time, yet even now, he struggles to comprehend simple polynomial related questions on math exams (I graduated last year, I'm helping him with his grade 10 math. He's the same age as me.)

Ahem. Anyways, things that you're going to want to do

Read stuff that's way beyond your comprehension level. Go pick up some books by Steven hawkings. Read them, page to page, letter to letter, over and over. Make your mind think. Do some brain puzzles. Soduku, the crosswords in the newspaper, get a good mix. Play chess, lots of it, against a computer. If you don't already, play a fucking high intensity (FPS, RTS, Some MMOs though mostly PvP) videogame for an hour or so.

Get lots of sleep. Keep your body healthy. Do some HIIT if you have a treadmill, or a bike, or something. Do neck excersizes.

Listen to music. Any music that you enjoy. Analyze it. Pick together how it flows, moves, feels, get a sense of how and why it sounds good.

Speaking of which, pick up a musical instrument. Buy a shitty $100 guitar or keyboard, or something. Learn how to read sheet music. Learn the basics. Do whatever from there.

Eat lots of veggies. As in, eat healthy mofo. Healthy body, healthy mind.

Also, you can't turn

a + a = a + b
into
2a = a+b

it would have to be

2a=ab

You can only use pure algebra equations when they work with ANY number you put in.

1+1 =/= 1x1
2+2 =/= 2x2

You would have to factor out (a-b) out of both sides, yes?

If a=b, a-b=0, yes?

To factor (a-b) out you would divide it from both sides, yes?

Divide by zero. No.

0/10 for copypasta troll.

WTF NOOO. WHY DIDNT I HEAR ABOUT THIS EARLIER?

I mean like... Fuck... I'll miss Jack.

With the risk of sounding like a douche (Id bitch at me for saying this if I wasn't me): Since when did we get mods?

Shit people, learn the difference between endothermic and exothermic. That's like basic grade 9 chemistry shit.

It would be very possible, OP. I'm sure there would be problems with both radius of effect, and finding materials that would require a shitload of energy, and continue to react after the initial point (Some Endothermic reactions stop if there isn't a certain level of free energy around. This could be anywhere from near absolute zero, to -10C)

Besides the fact that such a weapon could snap-freeze biological targets, It would be a devastating weapon against other weapons as well.

Go to /x/, and start up a help thread there. You are reffering to "Lucid Dreaming," by the way.

Seriously. They deal alot with lucid dreaming there. You'll get flames and trolled, but there will usually be useful input as well

There are some valid medical reasons to getting it done (Namely uncut males being slightly more prone to infections then cut ones), but other then that it's mostly religious or aesthetic reasons

Its a very useful survival mechanism. Ever hear that how If you want to lose weight, don't starve yourself because your body uses protein (Muscles/Organs) before it starts to use it's fat reserves? That kills two birds with one stone.

1. You get energy. Not as much as from carbohydrates, because breaking down protein has very little net gain of energy (Requires a fair bit of work to break down first), but it keeps you going for a bit longer

2. Lowers the ammount of energy your body needs to survive, therefor allowing you to reduce your intake needs, therefor better suiting you to survive prolonged starvation.

Because, our ancestors didn't have the luxory of the refrigerator. Muscle mass uses a boatload of energy, even when it's not being used. If a primitive human was going through, say, an unusually dry year in which most of the plant life didn't grow as much, and the herbivores eating them starved, the human that would have the least ammount of energy requirement while inactive would survive over the living tank.

Hey that's why I'm here. Why go to an ANONYMOUS INTERNET BOARD to ego?

Actually, the photons are used to excite a few electrons to go down the photosystems 2 and 1. I'm sure there would be a way to bypass the required photons, and just send electrons down the system (Even though the electrons get continually re-used), but it would be more effort to mess around with a plant's genes then it would be to find a better way to mass produce certain energy levels of photons out of a lightbulb
