/sci/ - Science & Math

I miss the old /sci/ namefags. Only true oldfags will remember.
>EK
>Harriet
>IQ fundie

can I get a Harriet Hunt update from our spitter crew?

but in reality

"Messages about a coming that could be decoded through architectural measurements? Keys to secrets of the Bible found in Egypt’s Great Pyramid? These might seem like nonsensical notions far from the world of science. But for Isaac Newton, they were veritable obsessions detailed in three pages of notes sold by Sotheby’s this morning for £378,000 (around $504,700 USD).

“He was trying to find proof for his theory of gravitation, but in addition the ancient Egyptians were thought to have held the secrets of alchemy that have since been lost,” Gabriel Heaton, Sotheby’s manuscript specialist, tells the Observer’s Harriet Sherwood. “Today, these seem disparate areas of study–but they didn’t seem that way to Newton in the 17th century.”

>"No you won't Harriet, now please stop talking and help me do this titration."

Imagine internalizing this interaction so hard that you turn into a loud weirdo who won't fucking shut up about how AMAZING it is to work as a middling code monkey for NASA or whatever. It's literally not that hard to get a job at NASA, I'm pretty sure 70% of this board could do it. The reason people don't is because it pays way less than industry so you need to be ideologically motivated, or in Harriet's case, a goddamn fucking social media INFLOONCER lunatic.

If we knew it was going to do dark so early in its life, we should have let them rename if after Harriet Tubman.

that’s kind of an 8 right? EK in middle and harriet on right?

i feel like the lore i’ve read indicates that EK had much “better” pics than that.

i guess it is stupid now since she’s probably way too old to be “attractive” by now but i still was curious about how she managed to capture this board and become the most prolific namefag ever here—i assumed she had some pretty scandalous pics to achieve such a status and in the archives there seem to be at least a few grainy thumbnails that look kinda hot if only the original res still existed

/sci/, like /b/, was never fucking good

what, you miss ek and harriet shitposting days?

Harriet got her NASA internship after a freshman year GPA of 2.33

The Harriet Tubgirl Telescope having a catastrophic failure of the rockets at its rear end would be the largest self own of the decade.

>>12774208
Sorry sweaty shittalking the Harriet Tubman Space Telescope is a racist dogwhistle

>>12774007
lol, Harriet Tubperson

>>12774006
I wonder how hard it would be to troll the left into saying "Tubman" is sexist so we should call her Harriet Tubgirl instead.

It's harriet sugarcookie, don't negotiate with coomers

He stole ideas from his students and assistants, many of whom were Black or female. The term "relativity" was actually coined by a Black woman named Harriet Jackson. Einstein was also most likely a rapist.

Have you ever heard of Harriet Hall, an OBGYN and member of the skeptic movement who goes by the "Skeptical OB" online, and posts articles regularly on sciencebasedmedicine.org?
She's a fanatical supporter of male circumcision, and mocks its opponents as "foreskin fetishists." (She apparently never heard of circumfetishists: http://intactwiki.org/wiki/Circlist))
She hates midwives (I guess because they don't mutilate baby penises like her).
And I just checked now, and she supports umbilical cord clamping:

Yeah the constant EK and Harriet attentionwhoring fueled by teenage autist really gave the board that pristine intellectual quality.
Fuck off newfag.

EK/Harriet

Harriet > Ek

“Graduate student Harriet Hungate took Kaczynski’s topology class. He impressed her.

“He was this young guy, tall and good looking, and had all the outward manifestations of someone who would be very sociable,” she said.

Hungate needed someone to talk to. She was in crisis, thinking of dropping out, “hanging in there by the skin of my teeth.”

She went to Kaczynski’s office for a conference. She asked questions about the course, but then her emotions took over. She spilled out her fears and doubts, looking to her professor for warmth and reassurance.

His response chilled her. Kaczynski didn’t acknowledge she had spoken.

“There was no reaction at all,” Hungate said. “Usually there’s a person in there who responds to what is said, but I looked in his eyes, and I saw no person there.”

I kept getting this im going crazy, the question is:

Miss Marple next turned her little grey cells to The Butler. Simply because he was a butler,
Miss Marple thought it was a 50/50 chance that he was the murderer; it was just as likely
that he was the murderer as that he wasn’t. But then Harriet the Housekeeper, who had
delivered the tea, volunteered that as she rushed past the kitchen on the way to the adjacent dining room to investigate all the noise, she had seen The Butler vigorously washing his
hands... (Harriet wondered aloud if he might have been washing blood off his hands?)
Miss Marple asked for more tea as she thought about this new information. She trusted
Harriet’s account of what she had seen, but The Butler was a known cleanliness fanatic —
while vigorous handwashing at that late hour might seem a little odd, she thought that if
he had not been murdering Sir Humphrey next door there would still be a 25% chance that
he would be washing his hands like that anyway. On the other hand, if he had just been
murdering his boss, it was very likely, say 95%, that he would have been cleaning his hands
as if his life depended on it (which it just might!). How does Miss Marple update her probability that The Butler is the murderer?

I doubt he is a virgin. He had a girlfriend and got fired from his job when she broke up with him and he posted limericks insulting her at their job. Despite his autism women found him attractive. When he was a professor at Berkeley one of his students went to his office because she didn’t understand the material. She said

Sup, I am (was) a tripfag back in the days when /sci/ was founded, around 2010/11/12, when I was finishing my Bachelor’s in (experimental) physics, before doing a master’s in theoretical physics. I talked a lot about math and relativity and the quantum world around here, but then lost interest and didn’t come here until now, when I realized I still had my tripcode lying around. And, to my surprise, googling my name with 4chan actually turned up some results.

Back then this board was quite active (no idea how it’s nowadays), people were sometimes discussing proper science, but other than that it was the usual 4chan shitshow. ICP brought up their »fuckin magnets how do they work« song so /sci/ was flooded with memes, [math]0.999\ldots\neq1[/math] trolls posted hourly, we had lots of infinite forces hitting walls of diamond, and we found out that [math]E=c[/math] thanks to Dr. Werner (»homeopathy with Dr. Werner« on Youtube).

Other tripfags I remember were Physics Guy, at the time doing a PhD I believe at CERN, and Harriet/EK which were desparate for attention without knowing shit about anything science, and being fully aware of that.

Oh, and the Emma Stone guy from above was also around during those days, except it seems he never left. :-)
