Modern authors and scientists have expressed skepticism about the accuracy of carbon dating.
Robert Schoch - A geologist and professor at Boston University, Schoch has questioned the validity of radiocarbon dating, suggesting that it may be skewed by factors such as changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Richard Milton - A British author and science writer, Milton has written extensively about the problems with radiocarbon dating, arguing that it fails to account for fluctuations in atmospheric carbon-14 levels.
Gunnar Heinsohn - A German historian and archaeologist, Heinsohn has challenged the conventional chronology of ancient civilizations, proposing that radiocarbon dating has systematically underestimated the age of many artifacts and archaeological sites.
Immanuel Velikovsky - Although controversial, Velikovsky's works, such as "Worlds in Collision" and "Ages in Chaos," questioned the reliability of radiocarbon dating and proposed alternative explanations for the dating of various historical and geological events.
David Plaisted - A mathematician and physicist, Plaisted has published papers arguing that radiocarbon dating methods are flawed due to factors such as changes in the Earth's magnetic field and cosmic ray flux.
Ruggero Santilli - An Italian-American physicist, Santilli has proposed alternative models of nuclear reactions that could potentially affect the accuracy of radiocarbon dating techniques. These are just a few examples of modern scientists and authors who have challenged the mainstream acceptance of carbon dating as a reliable dating method. Their criticisms often focus on the potential for external factors, such as magnetic or environmental changes, to skew the results of radiocarbon dating, leading to inaccurate chronologies.

I have been using escitalopram for a while now and I seem to get really amazing effects from it. When I first started taking it I felt like I was rolling on MDMA for probably 2 weeks straight. It honestly was the best I have felt in a long time. I even had CEVs, minor hallucinations, and dilated pupils (it would usually hit in the middle of the night like a freight train).
I have been trying to recreate that effect and I have been mildly successful but not quite the same as the first time I did it. I have tried reducing my dose from 10 to 5 for a few days and that worked at first to get the stimulant effect and euphoria back for a day or two.
I also found taking caffeine, theanine, and tyrosine after reducing to 5 then going back up to 10mg worked but again only for a day or two. Alcohol also mixes extremely well with it for some reason. It feels absolutely amazing. Obviously the longer I stay on the meds the more the effects diminish and eventually after 3-4 weeks there is basically no noticeable effects.
Anyone else ever have these effects or know anything about this? Right now I completely tapered off them and am trying a small break entirely before resuming to see if I can get the effects back. I cannot find much info at all about anyone else having these effects similar to what I have been getting. Most people describe the side effects very badly and people say the withdrawal is terrible but the only bad effects I have noticed is a bit of insomnia and dry mouth. Otherwise everything has felt really really great like I have been taking a small dose of mdma 24/7.
🗑️ 🧵 Maid Research: Purdue Instructional Language for Operating systems and Translators (PILOT)
Anonymous at Fri, 10 May 2024 02:06:52 UTC No. 16168337
Good Night /Sci/entists!
A long time ago, there was a language called "Purdue Instructional Language for Operating systems and Translators" (PILOT).
I have found only one book about this language. It is called "A Labratory Manual for Compiler and Operating System Implementation" by Maurice Halstead, which is about making PILOT for a Univac 1108. The book is short and light on details.
I would like to see more examples of this language, so I can understand it better. However, my attempts to find the examples have all failed. No luck with search engines, or the Purdue website.
Unfortunately, there is an unrelated language called PILOT from the same time period where the acronym means "Programmed Inquiry, Learning, or Teaching" which kind of obscures the search.
If you know where to get more resources on PILOT, or PILOT example code, please tell me.
If you are a maid who works at, or attends Purdue, please look in their libraey archives for references to the language.
Please also post about advanced Mathematics and Computer Science research you find interesting.
Thank you /Sci/entists for reading my post.

i made a worm composting bin, could any of yall redpill me on worms? European nightcrawlers to be specific. what can i feed them? i dont have much kitchen scrap but i do have allot of marijuana trim available, can that be the majority of their diet? what about human sperm? yeah, im serious. i think feeding my spunk to worms and then growing food with it to sell to the natives would be funny as hell. will they eat human bodies? what other cool shit should i know? thx anons.

Ist es over? I didn't even take any electives on high energy physics so perhaps I should just face it and become a neet, I'd rather be dead than become an experimentalist at this point (or go solid state physics).
Hopefully summer school gives me an in, something that is easy to get into knowing thermo and some GR.

You load the blimp with RC planes see
The planes have little semi guided paper planes see
They got bottles of aids and bc and vitamins etc see

Like pic but those sinusoids follow a blimp for a day or so and spot shot everything the camera on the RC planes thinks has a human sleeping there

We're over due for a Carington Event sized solar storm.
There's currently a sunspot bigger than the one that caused the last storm.
Supposedly it's so large you can see it with the naked eye, assuming you saved your eclipse glasses and wear them.
How prepared are we if this happens? Should we be more prepared? What can individuals do?
If we detect a flare heading our way, how much time do we have as notice? If it its the Earth during night, will the entire planet be screwed or just the day side of the planet?

I understand the issues with the food and drug industries, but it's getting to the point where legitimate harm is being done. You're not going to cure cancer by drinking carrot juice.
