here 160k gets you pretty nice two story house, garage, etc. Yeah, the salaries are pretty fucking bad but it's livable. The upside is that we do medschool for free unless you're a foreign student, the english and french programs are paid only.

Work life balance and the fact that they make bank. A psych works a comfy 9 to 5, barely has any emergencies, rarely gets called in, most of them do ambulatory instead of working on the ward. The pay is nice too, they can easily make 4k/month which is huuuuuuge for my country. The same goes for derm. Rads has 12 hour shifts can work from home, also brings in a bunch of cash.

when you put it like that, it makes sense. psychiatrists don't make the best money in the US compared to many other specialties. i've also known a couple psychs that get out and only practice for a few years before they break down themselves and quit from the amount of crazies they deal with or become somewhat crazy themselves.
>the other specialties
yeah, makes sense. it's similar in the US except a lot more $$$ for them.

do you think yurop will ever have midlevel problems, or is it avoided by pumping out enough doctors and them not taking home 250k minimum?
do a lot of doctors try to leave yurop to go to the US to make a lot of money, and if so how many actually succeed or are most just happy staying in yurop with their family/friends/etc?

If at any point n becomes odd, or if n was initially odd, it just blows up to infinity, because 2n+1 is also odd, right? And unless the initial n is a power of 2, halving it over and over again will eventually reach an odd number that will also blow up to infinity, won't it? am i missing something here?

How do you raise a kid who will end up getting straight As and blasting through AP classes like they're nothing? I know damn well IQ plays a role, but even if you have a particularly high IQ, there is a lot more that goes into getting good grades. I figure these kids have to be getting some coaching from either their parents or professionals their parents hire.

It's easy to get your child years ahead of their peers academically, by homeschooling them. But it's more important to their success, that they have a good work ethic and they know how to make connections and socialize. You as the parent, having connections and the money to send them to university helps alot too.

You could have an 200IQ child with a B- average, because they don't put in any effort. They might not know the point of getting good grades, or have no friends that cheer them on. They could even be one grade too far ahead of their peers.

Yes, and what's your point? Reality is that schools dominated by Asians are the top performing schools and social cred in those schools is based on academic standing. So I ask again, what is your point?

Let's say hypothetically that we took our stock solar system and replaced the 4 gas giants with a low end red dwarf star like Proxima Centauri, giving the two stars roughly 15 AU of separation (and leaving the inner solar system unchanged).

How different would the climate on Earth be because of this? It would still receive the overwhelming majority (i.e 99%) of stellar radiation from the main sun, with the other sun being just a bit brighter than a full moon.

>>16180813
Surprisingly, this wouldn't necessarily destabilize Earth's orbit.

To answer the question: Proxima Centaui luminosity = 0.0017 sols. That's basically how much less light Earth would receive if it was orbiting Proxima at 1 AU. At its closest approach to Earth at 14 AU distance (when they are on the same side of the sun), it would be 196 times weaker than that, so 0.00000867346 sols. That is an absolutely negligible contribution. If a planet was in orbit around Proxima alone at a semi-major axis of 14 AU, it would be colder than a witches teet.

What would the consequences be towards human belief systems and astrology? Would people categorise it as an entirely separate star, or just consider it a really big planet?
