Bro, that’s like middle school science
Any middle school subject can be a high school subject if enough people fail at grasping the basics.
Sometimes it can even be a college course. I remember my first year in uni our TA had to explain how long division and unit conversion worked and I was like how tf y’all got into engineering school without basic middle school mathematics knowledge.
I was prepared for it to be lib arts or humanities, not engineering
I mean I live in country with a kinda failed education system.
It doesn’t surprise me for college level students to not know it, but for college students in a math heavy field to not know it. Both in terms of how do they pass an entrance exam for that program, as well as how does someone that is bad in a subject decide that is the career they want?
Entrance exams aren’t actually that common here but they do exist admission is mostly based on GPA and final grades in highschool. What amazes me isn’t the lack of basic knowledge (in such an education system) or getting accepted, but rather the decision to choose this professional/academic path when you lack the interest in it.
People are actually uninterested and treating college as if they’re prisoners here. I know some people are only thinking about the potentially higher income in these fields or the social status (engineers and doctors are thought of highly in some countries). A not insignificant amount of students here are forced to study what their parents have chosen for them. I believe we have a corrupt system in all areas (political, social, educational) and the economical situation isn’t helping.
Usually these kids in my opinion don’t realise that they need to change something till very late in there lives. This matter isn’t a problem but rather a symptom of bigger problems here.
P.S: I’m very sorry for the long rant I got kinda carried away lol.
Is it also illegal for me to levitate? Or to move objects with my mind?
Jesus fucking Christ Almighty Lord above these people are fucking dumber than god damn bricks.
Alternatively phrased: Florida proposes ban on planes from flying in or over it.
Cloud seeding is different than contrails. Think 99% of the people in this thread are confusing the two and making ignorant statements. They’re banning the former, not the latter.
Either you’re over-estimating the intelligence of the politicians that did this, or underestimating the stupidity of the people who are for the bill. I’m not sure yet which it is.
See’s man made cloud due to the action of cold metal ripping through the sky “ZOMG ITS TEH LIBS POISONING MY AIR” jumps in vehicle modified to spew toxic pitch black clouds at the push of a button and drunkenly crashes into the preschool “THIS AIN’T MY FAULT!”
Thing that doesn’t happen is now illegal, got it. Glad to see Florida tackling the big problems facing its citizens.
I want them to pass this.
It would be interesting how they would enforce it.
Would they ban all planes? Or maybe just ignore the law? Or maybe start saying “these are not chemtrails, these are contrails, those are ok”.
If the state decides to ignore any kind of court telling them otherwise, then I would imagine Florida would no longer have flyovers from any airline, and any aircraft capable of producing a contrail or wingtip vortex would no longer operate in the state.
Goodbye florida airports, I guess.
Florida doesn’t particularly need cloud seeding(they get plenty of rain and don’t need to increase snowpack on the mountains they don’t have), so it’s kind of a useless exercise. The places that do do it mostly seem to be wasting their time though. The climate change attempts to increase albedo and thus lower temperature are just research exercises at this point.
Cloud seeding is only a couple steps above dowsing in its efficacy. It rarely works to do anything. There is a basic principle that is true regarding cloud condensation nuclei, but the methods are so haphazard that it’s still mostly just “doing something” to make people feel better. It’s basically our equivalent of the Mayan elite rituals encouraging rains for the corn harvest.
I agree, though increasing snowpack seems to be the most plausible idea, though still a greatly wasted effort.
