Giving up? Why are you wasting all of our time arguing with nothing to show for it?

Look, you think >>16171047 and >>16171044 are correct, right? Because they are simply the same as >>16170787 and >>16170783. And those simply show the same as the OP. Look at the angles. I don't know where the misunderstanding is so I can't make it any clearer than this.

Whether or not it's intuitive is besides the point. It's also exactly what the OP instructs you to do.

This is the first frame of the AIMING BEHIND gif, the one that hits. It shows the same angle for the bomber's gunner as the OP does in the part where it instructs you to aim behind the fighter's tail to hit it.
Now, I think what you might be thinking is this: if you look at the path of the fighter relative to the bomber, then this IS leading it, this IS aiming at where it's going to be; but that is precisely the point of the OP. It doesn't change the fact that the angle shown in the OP is the one that accomplishes this.

How do you focus on the sky? Is there a specific technique? The top of the sky is impossible to sense, so should we be focusing on it interlinked with the horizon. And how is the number 2 called wirot?

Nose size is a strong predictor for penis size:

>Measures only when flaccid

>In general, smaller, flaccid penises lengthen at erection by a greater percentage than larger, flaccid penises, with most men reaching an average size of 5 to 7 inches. This means the flaccid size of a penis is not a good predictor of erect size.

tldr: small flaccid = bigger erect %.
big flaccid = smaller erect %.

source: https://kinseyinstitute.org/research/publications/penis-size-faq-bibliography.php

So this isn't really good at predicting size when erect (the thing we actually care about in reality).

In the big hero movie, there were things called microbots.
I wondered if it would be possible to create such devices in the future but much smaller.
I imagine these nanobots will be able to replicate themselves as well as occupy specific roles within a group.
For example, a set of nanobots can shape themselves into a pipe which will allow fluids to pass through. These pipes will form a grid onto which other nanobots would attach themselves and transform into solar panels. The energy accumulated by the solar panel nanobots will be offloaded into the pipes which will then send that energy to nanobots that are specialized in storing energy.
Will we eventually be able to create such nanobots or is it too far fetched?

So 7 Dyson objects out of a survey of 5,000,000 objects have been found, suggesting a weak version of the rare Earth hypothesis and dumb luck, is our Fermi paradox solution.

Thus, we are likely to have an encounter with a more advanced civilization, before the end of our civilization.

Let's hope they're friendly historians, willing to bottle us up.

in a real life Good Will Smith move, two high school seniors solved a mathematical puzzle that was thought to be impossible for 2,000 years. Black, Beautiful & Brilliant.

Johnson and Jackson discovered that the Pythagorean Theorem — a principle relating to the relationship between three sides of a right triangle — could be solved with trigonometry.

The theorem had been proven before in the last 2,000 years, but never with the use of trigonometry, until the students showed that this was a possibility.

Their appearance on "60 Minutes" this weekend isn't the first time that Johnson and Jackson's hard work has been showcased. The pair presented their hypothesis at the American Mathematical Society last spring.

“For two months we worked together nonstop — during school, after school, at home, at lunch,” Johnson told the Times-Picayune last year. “We had lots of Zoom meetings. Actually, during Mardi Gras break we were still working by Zoom.”

When CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker asked Jackson and Johnson if they were math geniuses in the episode's trailer, both shook their heads.

"Not at all," Jackson denied.

That is true of most serious racists. If you cannot find value in people of all stripes you are not really racist. I'm not saying I want them in my neighborhood or going to my children's school or even to share a polity with them at all, but them dicking around with mathematics is far from the worst they could be doing. Is their success here overblown? Probably, but such patronization is fitting to the recipient.

Besides there's a huge amount of evidence for this, genetic, anatomical, and paleontological.

Is STEM education really the same regardless of how highly ranked the college is?

A lot of people I used to hear say that if you major ina fine either or engineering that it doesn’t really matter where you go to college as the dictation is all the same. The idea was that things like the humanities are taught differently at say harvard than a random state school. But since technical subjects are so objective, if you go to a low ranked local school and major in physics, there’s nothing special you won’t be learning that someone who studied physics at Harvard learned. How true is this? Obviously it matters for employment but just about the things you learn are there things that the elite colleges will go over that the low ranked ones will not? Is there really much of a difference from what a physics or pure maths major will have to learn at a random state school compared to someone at cal tech!

Pic related went to a local salarian university majored in stem and did great things

Doesn't fucking matter a bit if you're seriously actually interested in learning that topic. I went to princeton from a community college for a math degree and it wasn't all that different. It's just that the people around you are trying unlike people in most colleges so it changes the social atmosphere of teachers and students compared to other colleges. You also get access to some other resources via profs and college provided stuff. The things that they teach you pretty much is the average stuff taught in most colleges. it's just that everyone is trying to get good marks and the college puts out questions which expect you to have learned the materials in classes & also have researched/practiced on your own so it seems different than your other colleges. This basically gives it's students ego trip and makes them think they're better than other students but if you give them anything that they'll have to figure out on their own they'll immediately fucking crumble down. Other than that culture aspect not really much different. Also btw these faggots in ivy league don't even go to ivy league cause they love the subject. The subject becomes a part of their lives rather than their lives being a part of that particular subject. Specially if you start talking to these people you'll really understand how cheap of a person they really are underneath all that false-glamour that they radiate
