Hydrogen.
You can’t generate helium unless you have a fusion reactor.
Actually, nuclear powered flying T. rex sounds cool, so let’s go with it.

Not a mathematician, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t necessarily true. What if L is -1 and f(x) = x^2? Also I think your function has to be continuous.

I see. I’ve only used ethanol for disinfection, and it was always methylated.

lab grade ethanol
That’s usually methylated spirit. It probably won’t kill you, but you’ll lose your vision.

It’s regulation protecting the quality of education in the nation.
I understand and agree with that logic (although personally I have experienced excellent teachers who had no PhD). But like you said, I don’t think it is a useful criteria in research.
My personal opinion/experiences are that those that are the worst in their field are the ones that clutch onto their degrees the most and will think lowly of a mind that hasn’t amassed as much documentation
Lol yes!

Is a PhD a required qualification in your uni? I know it’s expected, but there are quite a few well-respected academics, particularly in engineering and comp sci, who don’t have a PhD.

I mean for those plants the model should be trained to spit out the next highest common denominator / family instead of the specific species.
Most people are going to take photos of the leaves, stem or at best the outside of the flowers. These are rarely conserved within families. You’ll need the arrangement of the four floral whorls to name a family and expect any degree of accuracy. And that’s assuming your plant is an angiosperm.

Each Eva is the story Anno wanted to tell at each point in his life, as he grew and became a healthier person.
Sounds like something someone who sold out would say! (/s)
Anno wanted the darkness when he was younger
I still like the OG ending. I think the ‘darkness’ of EoE was partially a reaction to the death threats he got, and the Rebuilds feel unnecessarily convoluted (but the animation was great). Anyway, to each their own.

What do you mean, needlessly confusing? The release order was genius. Opening with the movie showed exactly the kind of show it was. It also allowed the climax to be in the last episode of the season, while still having it happen in the middle chronologically (as Haruhi wanted).
But the second season was where KyoAni outdid themselves. It was an improvement on the first season. While the first season was great, the second was even better. Sometimes you see a series dip in quality in S2, but here it was the opposite - the quality improved. For the second season showed an uptick in the narrative. The first season had already pushed the limits of storytelling, but the second went further. While the first season was greatly enjoyable, the second was even more so. Perhaps the most ardent fans may try to quantify the quality, and say that it was, I don’t know, eight times better than the first.

Most manga and anime don’t have filler. The long-running ones do, because, well, they want to milk them for all they’re worth.

A little over a thousand chapters, but a volume has about ten chapters.

- Original series (all 26 episodes)
- End of Evangelion (optional, but recommended. This happens chronologically at the same time as Ep 25 and 26)
- Everything else (optional, not recommended)
The OG series is the story Anno wanted to show. Some fans wanted a more concrete ending, so Anno gave them a concrete ending in EoE. Then some fans wanted a happy ending where Shinji gets the girl so Anno said fuck it, sold out, and made a series with a happy ending where Shinji gets a girl. But now some fans want a happy ending where Shinji gets the right girl so Anno gave up on them as lost causes and went and directed Shin Godzilla.

- Comment on Nearly 90% Amazon India workers don’t get time for bathroom breaks, survey finds 4 months ago:
As an employee or as a consumer? As an employee, because Haryana has weak labour protections (ever wondered why all companies put their warehouses there?) and Amazon still probably pays better than farming. As a consumer, we actually had a relatively better alternative called Flipkart, but then they got bought by Walmart and … well, you know the drill. (But they still treat their workers better, according to a survey done last year.)

The research was paid for by someone. It is not unheard of for a company to offer a grant under the condition that they get the results, say, six months before the rest of the world.

I’m love to know how they’re doing it. RNA is insanely unstable.
