indeed

my advice is that you shouldn't actually skip tough questions immediately unless you're short on time. Try working at them in as many ways you can think, or if it helps, work backwards from the answer.

I never mentioned paint chips
The reports mention small pieces of aluminium and iron oxide, which are both found in any building with galvanised steel supports that's more than 5 years old.
The second document doesn't cite anything properly (fires couldn't be put out) and doesn't consider the possibility that a building collapsing might generate quite a lot of friction.

>>3180668
you're confusing
>thermite
with
>iron and aluminium particles
I'll give you three geusses as to what kinds of metals the structure of WTC7 was made of.

My considered response is
>spheres
[citation needed]
>TNT dust
[citation needed]
>rubble kept producing heat
[citation needed]

>childish impersonation
nope, proving a point. People keep thinking I'm you, while you claim that isn't possible if you're tripping. If you just used a new trip every day or just didn't use your name it wouldn't matter
>anger is wishing you die
nope. You're just a problem I would like to go away. You don't add anything, and give scepticism a bad image.

>implying that caring what you think is tantamount to caring that you post it here
I do not care whether you believe what you believe
I do care if you fag up my lovely board with it.

The Road to Reality by Roger Penrose is excellent, I recommend you read it.
It may seem boring, but I'd also recommend you learn how to use C++ or some other programming language. Knowing how to program is a huge part of science.
If you feel like watching something good torrent Cosmos by Carl Sagan, and watch Lawrence Krauss giving his lecture "A universe from nothing", which details the possible origin of the universe.

You're a complete idiot and I hope you die soon and/or grow up

there's no reason for you to swear, and there's no reason for you to get angry. Nobody gives a damn what you think. The Biologist contributes far more here than you do with your banal mockery and total lack of rationality.

you really are a dumb shit.
I'm actively going to annoy you now.

You're much better than me at this. Good show.

I'm using tripcode explorer, because I assumed (wrongly) that having a CUDA card would be more useful than an ATI card. The result is poor performance generating bitcoins (which are worthless anyway) and no GPU tripping

>>3179400
ah, that sounds fairly convincing. Do you think you can talk with god, and to what extent do you follow the bible?
>>3179410
darn. Sorry.

my feeble 8M/S is no match for it. assuming I can run mty (which I can) what should I go for other than the first eight?

There's no way in hell I'm going through all of these this evening

The first shows an increase but gives little information on crashes in the immediate area
The second shows an overall decrease
the third shows either insignificant increases or insignificant decreases
and the fourth is a meta analysis and presents no new data.

Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the explanation. Do you mind explaining some of the events, or would that be difficult?

>perhaps you should read the GAO citizens guide and uncover their evil methodology.
Perhaps they should invest in some basic training in statistical analysis. You can't extrapolate 70 years into the future on 50 years of data, and you definitely can't extrapolate a curve from that.
>also, speed cameras have been shown to have an impact on accidents in a negative way
[citation needed]
No evidence that isn't seriously flawed exists, as far as I'm aware. Give me some.

>>3179244
Can you justify your beliefs?
>>3179246
the post was deleted and reposted without errors.

>>3179216
Nope. There's a definite difference that you can gauge as time goes by between men and women.

>>3178550
oh god that's good
>constant level of increase up until now
>exponential increase from now onwards
you can't extrapolate like that, it doesn't work that way.This is no better than that time the Taxpayer's Alliance argued that speed cameras caused accidents because the decrease in accidents per year was dropping, not constant.

25 years ago it was predicted that today computers would be exponentially more powerful than they are now, and that cars would be flying in four years.
