Sad parts in TVs/Movies.

I no longer feel emotion when people or events are involved unless someone dies. Then I will feel sad (and may cry) at their funeral, but otherwise don’t cry over it.

Yes but it’s really only boomers who still have cable and use them.

Gen Z is gravitating towards analog. It’s the boomers who are addicted.

Unless you’re an expert on child development and education, then you’re not qualified.

What are these banned tags about? This seems off topic but innocuous.

There are many people who never find a moment of peace in their lives and may become more vocal as they age. For most people, in my observation, there comes a point where they move past their easier life and live with a sense of peace or accomplishment.

I know I’ll probably be downvoted for saying this, but there are a lot of really good managers out there. None of them, however, have a degree in business.

In a bizarre way, I can feel myself developing statistical intuitions. I’m becoming more confident but not necessarily competent haha.

I was just thinking about you. Thanks so much for coming back here for this. I’ll check these out.

3b1b, the gray cuber, 2swap, lines that connect etc…

I just went and subscribed to these channels. Their videos will pop up in my feed over time.

I have spent the last few months watching Mind Your Decisions and AndyMath. I can follow what they are doing but do not feel that I could always/necessarily reproduce what they do if given a novel problem. I am hopeful that continuing to go through these will help me build up a solid repertoire of thinking skills.

If you have other channel suggestions, please share!

Zionists become extremely angry when you point out that Arabs are Semites and therefore action against Palestinians is antisemitic. As they are insulting your grandmother, they will cry about how the word has always only meant action against Jews. It’s bullshit and your thought is correct here.

My nephew has severe ADHD but my sister in law was not willing to medicate or seek a psychologist until his behavior became unbearable.

Thanks, I appreciate the support.

I just finished a course called Statistical Process Control. In brief, create two normal distributions and hope that the means of your customer specification and your manufacturing tolerances match up. If they don’t fix it.

I put together a study guide of just equations. No information on how to use them or interpret their results, just the equations and it came to 14 pages. This professor provided an equation sheet for the final exam that listed 2 of them, suggesting that we should be able to derive the remainder. This seemed like a big ask and requiring additional cognitive load when not necessary, but, apparently, I am the exception in this course because I scored below the fourth quartile (66%) with a median of 82%. Guess the others could, indeed, do the derivations…

Fortunately my homework, course project, and course paper are much better and helped raise final grade. I found it frustrating because I believe that he is teaching towards those who need a guide rather than those who need to learn.

I will check those out, thanks.

I have long understood that one of the problems with mathematics (and you see this in chemistry, physics, logic, etc) is that it is assumed that by learning to approach a problem algorithmically, an intuition has been formed. Then the test maker will throw a problem at you that does not follow the algorithm and the student who does not notice the relationship between two things is unable to complete it. This is basically where I am at with my statistics work–some basic probability questions still escape me.

Hilariously I’m a linguist. I actually have several degrees in the humanities and social sciences plus a masters in IT management but made the potentially questionable decision to jump into an engineering doctorate with no engineering experience. It’s been as fun as you might imagine, but I am learning lots and advancing through the program.

I wish that my undergrad advisor had let me take calculus like I wanted to, but he wouldn’t since it wasn’t required for the program. My doctoral advisor didn’t say anything so I figured that I was in the clear. What do you know? It’s all calculus based and I’m learning to do derivatives and integrals in realtime.

What I’ve learned here is that if we squished our brains together, we’d form a single, complete person.

I would happily trade my very good writing abilities for the ability to engage with higher mathematics. The first can be learned, the second requires the right sort of brain (which I don’t have).

That’s what makes it obvious that this person has been around the block. Or a few blocks.

Only closed while showering or if I dropped a good one. The rest of the time I didn’t notice. I suppose it depends on the layout of your bedroom how much it bothers you.
