For you and anybody else wondering, the GP is a joke and should not be taken seriously.

The reason there isn't a resistor with the value on the meme is because real resistors have error tolerances and are never the exact value on their marks. If you go assembling a card-castle of resistors with the wrong value so that the labels add up to the value you want, you will still have a resistor of the wrong value.

at least in the disciplines that develop weapons

So interested they declared quantum physics an anti-Arian idea that should be exterminated and forced almost everybody with any knowledge that could help in making a nuclear weapon out of the country...

China currently is not communist either.

They stopped killing academics at around the same time they stopped being communist.

As they say... donate a kidney and you are a hero, donate three and somehow you are a monster.

It's a popular strategy for Fascists.

the Nazis and the OG Fascists did it, and so did the communist Chinese.

Have you seen a mathematician claim that? Because there's entire algebra they created just so it becomes a fraction.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

And it denotes an operation that gives you that fraction in operational algebra...

Instead of making it clear that d is an operator, not a value, and thus the entire thing becomes an operator, physicists keep claiming that there's no fraction involved. I guess they like confusing people.

About the title; my condolences.

Do they say what that leg-breaker on the center photo is supposed to be?

The hell of one idea that just won't die. It was created out of thin air by sheer force of racist speculation, and known to be wrong for close to a century. Yet people still keep repeating it.

Oh, excel is a bad tool. There's no argument about it.

Just look at the meme about dates somebody posted just around the same time as this. Excel has that kind of shit about everything. It does solve a good problem, but the tool is a piece of crap.

 

As a developer that learned it once, a long time ago, naturally I sign to the pledge...

I have some doubts if I should mark it NSFW.

 

All those student protests on the US seem to be about stopping their universities from supporting the Israel government. But supporting a foreign government is not a normal thing for a university to do, why do they do it?

Is there some educational or research resource they get?
