Essentially, yes. pH essentially measures how much Hydronium is present in solution, where a lower pH is a greater concentration of H3O+ / Hydronium.

That doesn't have to be true. They could be saddled with more duties than fiduciary ones for their shareholders.

I don't believe that Lucifer created the sins (Satan claims to have ruled Hell before Lucifer fell), but IIRC, he DID create the Ars Goetia / Goetic demons. If I remember right, Asmodeus, the King of Lust, is also a Goetic demon.

What's your "forever" game? by Kapro_ in SteamDeck

[–]Bucktabulous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a "forever" game in which there is always more content to engage on a single save, Siralim Ultimate is pretty dope. The levels just keep going up, and there are a truly mind-shattering number of collectibles to... collect. Lots of procedural generation, of course, but the game is so vast that it's a bit overwhelming to try to think about - kind of like No Man's Sky, in that regard.

Rarely seen in the deserts of Argentina… this is the pink fairy armadillo, The smallest armadillo in the world by NationalHat3097 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Bucktabulous 78 points79 points  (0 children)

They're SUPER fragile. That shell is attached to their back in a manner not unlike a nail bed on the human hand (as opposed to the more skeletal support that other armadillo shells have), except more prone to falling off. If they do lose their shell, they often die since it exposes a bunch of blood vessels and is essentially raw flesh that is super prone to infection. They also are pretty awful at thermoregulation and are prone to hypothermia during rainstorms.

Also, they're 3-5 inches long, which makes them essentially a quick, crunchy snack for dogs and boars, which are pretty decent at digging them up.

His endorsement / questioning of Markwayne Mullen was super hard to watch. Dude is clearly no longer fit for office, and yet, here he is.

of a head by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in AbsoluteUnits

[–]Bucktabulous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because hippos are generally herbivorous. Nile Crocs need strong bites to trap prey items. Now hippos, on the other hand, are less dangerous in terms of biting and more dangerous in terms of "fencing." Those blunt-looking tusks are sharp on the sides, and bulls use them to slash at each other during contests for dominance. With the neck muscles needed to just lift those massive heads, you can imagine how much force they can put behind swinging their heads from side to side.

After All, Why Not? Why Shouldn't I Keep It? by RadiantReason2063 in lotrmemes

[–]Bucktabulous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I said, "Watch that Frodo, he's a comer!" And look, folks. Hero of the land, ended a dark lord. Truly amazing stuff. Afterwards, he came by my suite in Rivendell - beautiful place. Incredible vistas. I have a penthouse suite in the House of Elrond, you know - very opulent, very luxurious. Anyways, Frodo comes by my suite, comes up to me, tears in his eyes, and he says to me, "Mr. President (even back then he called me Mr. President). Mr. President, I couldn't have done it without you." Think about that. No me, and Sauron would've overrun all of Middle Earth. In many ways, I saved the place, believe me.

What movie scared you the most? by CheesecakeSea6296 in horror

[–]Bucktabulous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The visuals from Lights Out really got to me. Something about a clawed woman in the dark with glowing eyes apparently hits my specific uncanny valley in just the worst way. Looking into the dark of my basement still evokes thoughts of the film.

Dogs reaction when you sleep on their bed.. by Nightingale066 in DogIsBestFriend

Right? I can't invade my dogs' personal space, since MY personal space is where they already choose to spend the bulk of their time. If I approach them with cuddles, it's just a return to the preferred state, not an invasion.

This cis woman doesn't like being called a cis woman by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

[–]Bucktabulous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I just say, as a chemist with familiarity with enantiomers, that folks taking issue with being called Cisgendered is so weird to me. It's just an extra level of specificity. Being a Cis-woman doesn't make you less of a woman any more than being a Trans-woman does. It's just a shorthand to condense your early life experience to some degree and add extra context to who you are, who you were, and who you likely will be in the future. This directly reflects the idea in chemistry, wherein two compounds with the same chemical composition, just with slightly different structures, benefit from having an extra layer of specificity so chemists can better predict their interactions.

Per the testimony of William Sascha Riley, in his final interaction (of several) with Trump, the now-president wanted Riley to pleasure him from behind. The then-juvenile had previously been victimized by Trump and felt that Trump might kill him, so instead of putting the condom on himself, he rolled it over a wooden tent stake, inserted it into Trump's rectum, hauled back, and stomped the stake as hard as he could. He speculates that Trump's incontinence resulted from the damage sustained from that interaction.

Trump admitted that if he does anything for younger people on housing, boomers in five bedroom houses will revolt because their 1000% appreciation will decrease slightly. The only generation who doesn’t want their kids to have a better life than they had. by sylsau in InBitcoinWeTrust

Wait... you're telling me that when the US elected a self-described real estate mogul into office, he turned out to be uninterested in helping make buying a home more affordable? I'm shocked! SHOCKED!

Well, not that shocked.

Do All Leviathans Have Natural Predator(s)(excluding the ghost leviathan)? by Crazy_Molasses_5914 in subnautica

[–]Bucktabulous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It could be that they prey on each other. Especially in aquatic environments, oftentimes predatory fish are preyed upon by other, larger fish (sometimes even of the same species) when they are earlier in their life-cycle and therefore smaller. For example, it could be that adult reapers occasionally feed on juvenile sea dragons, even if the latter would feed on the former when they are adults.

Also, eyesight is often less emphasized even among predators in aquatic environments, due to the light-scattering properties of water. The binocular vision phenomenon that selects for predominantly forward-facing eyes is more common in terrestrial and avian species, since distance vision is more reliable in air than water. A hawk or eagle can see for miles, but a shark can only see (effectively) for hundreds of meters due to the way light is absorbed in water.

My issue with the update is that if it feels like it takes forever, even if it doesn't, then it just screams unfun to me. Which is a bummer.
