How many students do you think would know the correct answer?

I teach a second year online psychology class. To detect cheating I ask the students fill in the blank questions such as: New parents must do calculations to ensure the best nutrition for their children. What is the molar mass of nitric acid.

@Hitchslap1 All mental health diagnoses are subjective opinions. The APA is a religious organization and the DSM-5-TR is its bible interpreted by the ordained (therapists).

@Rainmaker1973 True—snow leopards really can leap up to 50 feet (15 meters) in a single bound—the clip is synthetic footage.

@rodrikdani Sure, that’s going to happen

@joannamoncrieff Your gobbling goop post is a good ad for the nonsense promulgated by the APA. ALL mental health diagnoses are subjective opinions. The DSM-5-TR is a religious text prepared to satisfy glutinous appetites of it’s the ordained quacks.

@ns123abc How about FDA approval?
From initial laboratory discovery through multi-phase human clinical trials to final FDA approval typically takes 10 to 15 years.

Go easy on the Red Bull
Energy drinks and stimulant supplements linked to disproportionately frequent reports of serious heart problems, including 11 times more reports of cardiac arrest and 4.5 times more reports of heart attacks.

@rodjnaquin For God's sake, enough of the fuzzy wordiness

I believe you are thinking of Memorial Day, today is Veteran's Day.
The next Memorial Day is 31 May 27.
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. It is observed on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day is a time for visiting cemeteries and memorials to mourn the military personnel who died in the line of duty.

@Hitchslap1 All DSM-5-TR diagnoses are subjective, a quack's opinion. There are NO objective mental health diagnoses.

[Lex @Lexz1ss]

Maybe not?
Worldwide, smartphones execute roughly 10³⁰ to 10³¹ transistor switches each day across about 7.5 billion devices, which is 10,000 to 100,000 times more than the 10²⁵ to 10²⁶ biological nerve impulses generated by all 8.2 billion human brains combined. However, raw switch counts tell only part of the story because each silicon transistor merely flips between a simple binary 1 or 0, requiring thousands of coordinated switches to execute a single basic math operation. In contrast, each biological neuron integrates thousands of complex analog signals before firing one impulse, allowing the human brain to process rich sensory and cognitive tasks using a tiny fraction of the total energy consumed by the world's phones.

@nedsore All mental health diagnoses are subjective opinions promoted by the APA in their bloated religious text the DSM-5-TR. Therapists (quacks, more precisely) are ordained by the APA.

@SenJohnKennedy I thought that you encouraged us all to vote?

@HargreavesBC It's more like a fever dream

[Lex @Lexz1ss]

All DSM-5-TR diagnoses are subjective opinions. The DSM-5-TR was created by "expert" committees to support their self interest and to feed the glutinous appetites of the quacks sponsored by the far left APA.

The APA is a self licking ice cream cone. Here's a definition: A self-licking ice cream cone is a process, program, bureaucracy, or institution that exists primarily to justify, fund, and perpetuate its own existence rather than to accomplish a useful external goal.

@ScienceBriefs What’s with the rash of whining PhDs?
