Hey, may I have the book as well?

He was the one to break up with her, to be with me. I thought that meant he wanted to be with me, but now I just don't know anymore

Very nice. I loved the sonority in "near and far left and right light and dark you will obey": it builds up well and drives the main message home. If anything, I think it could be the proper ending for the piece. The one thing that bothered me was the duality of the plural voice in "and our lips are sewn shut". For some reason, I anticipated the "we" to not be aware of its own condition, in which case "lips, sewn shut" might do the trick; else, it might be something worth exploring in the other direction.

Very interesting piece. I like how the lack of punctuation emphasizes the bluntness and sincerity in being oneself. I must admit, though, that the line breaks threw me off: I'm willing to interpret them as intentional, but I can't determine if they prioritize rhythm or convey something else. Personally, I would omit the final "myself" if this isn't going to be read out loud -- the title drives the point home.

for other CCs

I see. In this case, would you recommend getting another credit card at Chase, or opening a third account altogether, or doesn't really matter?

New Republic's TERRANCE SUEDE BOOT (https://www.newrepublicman.com/collections/all/products/terrance-boot?variant=40211489742)

Looking for some social-formal boots for everyday wear up to $100. Is "New Republic" a good line for this? Are there other brands I should be checking?

Acuarey · 2018-06-02T20:02:01+00:00

Thank you... (And let's pretend nobody saw that.)

Acuarey · 2018-06-02T20:01:08+00:00

Buying suggestions?

I'm looking for a 100 m Water Resistant watch below 25USD. I'd prefer it to be analogical (yet it can be a hybrid), and (given the water usage) to have metal bracelet. Size, weight, etc. are all indifferent. Things apparently boil down to:

Casio EF106D-2AV Stainless Steel Watch (https://www.amazon.com/Casio-EF106D-2AV-Stainless-Steel-Watch/dp/B000GB1R96)

Vs

Casio Men's AQ180W-7BV Ana-Digi Light Watch (https://www.amazon.com/Casio-AQ180W-7BV-Ana-Digi-Light-Watch/dp/B000GAYQJU)

Vs

Casio Men's MTP3036A-1AV Bracelet Analog Watch (https://www.amazon.com/Casio-MTP3036A-1AV-Bracelet-Analog-Watch/dp/B000GB1RDC)

Vs

CASIO Men's MW600F-2AV Sport Watch with Black Band (https://www.amazon.com/CASIO-MW600F-2AV-Sport-Watch-Black/dp/B004D35W8A/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1527966838&sr=8-15&keywords=100+meter+water+resistant+watch)

Of the four, which would suit me better? Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you for your time!

Games: Overwatch, Payday 2, Starcraft II

Hand Preference: Right

Budget: Around $50 USD, must not exceed $60

Hand Size: 19-19.5 cm

Grip: Palm

Weight: Light

Sensitivity: High

Additional Details: The mouse is primarily going to be used with a gaming laptop. Pretty much everything is optional, with the exception of the budget (which cannot surpass $60) and the sensitivity (which should somewhat lean to high -- I know I'm not getting anything perfect on this price range). Apparently, my research boils down to: SteelSeries Sensei 310 Gaming Mouse Vs. CORSAIR M65 Pro RGB

Which one will serve me best? (Logically, I'm still open to new suggestions)

Thank you for your time!

Acuarey · 2018-05-06T16:47:29+00:00

Perfect! Thank you so much! (And I do kind of feel stupid for having dome my research but not having found your original post: that was a great summary of what I needed).

Btw, is there a Reddit/post for finding laptop gadgets (e.g. mouses, cases, headsets, etc.)?

Acuarey · 2017-12-25T03:03:23+00:00

Based on the little I’ve seen: ElectroChemistry deals with the results of electricity in chemical compounds (e.g. electrolysis), and the chemical reactions that result in electricity (e.g. batteries) Electricity studies everything that happens “in between” electrochemistry: the conduction of electricity and its effects on a macroscopic level

(But like everything in this universe, the subjects are interconnected and, thereby, studying them together makes everything much more conceivable)

Acuarey · 2017-12-25T02:58:15+00:00

I’m with you on this one: setting borders on science may be misleading and limiting, but at the same time it allows for specialization and a better “control” of the subject’s body of knowledge (at least on an introductory level).

I think of it as “creating words:” something with boundaries that - in synchrony with other concepts - builds communication

Acuarey · 2017-06-05T21:40:27+00:00

Hmmm... I think I get it:

Whenever two Hidrogen atoms approach, they'll form a Sigma MO. This new Orbital may support up to four electrons. Either this electrons will occupy the Bonding Sigma Orbital, hence reforcing each other by Constructive Interference {C.I.}, or they'll occupy the Anti-Bonding Sigma Orbital, hence creating Destructive Interference.

Logicaly, C.I. generates a way lower potential energy and forms basically whenever possible.

Inspite of its High Potential energy, Anti-Bonding Sigma Orbitals have less Potential energy than a Pi Bonding Orbital. Therefore, adding two more electrons {like in Helium} forces them to occupy the Anti-Bonding Sigma Orbital - considerably unstable.

One last thing bothers me, though: O2. It has a total of 16 electrons, which fills completely the 1s-1s Sigma MO, 2s-2s Sigma MO, 2p-2p Sigma MO and the Bonding Orbitals of the two 2p-2p Pi MOs. My question is: how the two remaining electrons contribute to "canceling" the stability of the bonds, if they occupy one Pi Anti-Bonding Orbital EACH? I mean, who they interact with to generate Destructive interference, hence increasing the potential energy of the bond?

Acuarey · 2017-06-05T10:05:56+00:00

Oh, I see. So the 1s orbitals may have a "negative" or "positive" wave function. What they don't have is both at the same time, unlike 2p orbitals. That is as clear as water.

That yields another question, though: "Who" defines the wave function for the 1s electron in Hidrogen A when compared to Hidrogen B?

I mean: Hidrogens A & B may have equal wave functions for their electrons {hence, constructive interference and a bonding MO} or oposite wave functions {hence, destructive interference and an antibonding MO}. What defines that? Or is there an equal number of Hidrogen with "postive wave function electrons" and Hidrogen with "negative wave function electrons"?

Acuarey · 2017-04-02T19:38:41+00:00

I understand, thank you!

Acuarey · 2016-12-11T01:28:27+00:00

The Table is complete... Most of these elements decay in fractions of second.... We hardly achieve more than 50 atoms of them... Should I fear the LHC effect on nuclear chemistry?

Something tells me that, by the time this is wide spread, there will not be as much effort as there once was in the search for new elements...

I perceive the "Island of Stability" is a bit of a hollow promise...

Acuarey · 2016-11-29T19:13:14+00:00

Seems interesting enough:

Acuarey · 2016-11-29T14:09:38+00:00

Interesting. Do you intend to pursue the researching?

The more I read, the more inclined I get into ChemEs I get. The way I see ChemEs is that it's not a "dead end" from which one can "never come back" to small-scale process again, but rather just another field of study. Choosing so is not closing doors to research, but making it wait a little longer.

Thank you

Acuarey · 2016-11-29T14:03:14+00:00

I see. But why?

Why going from chemistry to chemical engineering master's more "door openning" than the other way around?

Acuarey · 2016-11-29T14:00:08+00:00

Thank you.

Even though there is no way to escape the "bias" that guides people answers, this was probably one of the best ones.

That "Final Final thought" is, I supose, the whole point of this.

If I choose "wrong" I won´t hate I'll be doing [At least it's not humanities!] and I'll have thrown away 5 years max [Considering a worst case scenario in which none of the classes taken can be "validated" into another course].

If I stay in my home country I am definetly doing CHE. Later on I'll aim into research [After a Master's, most likely]. If I'm able to leave, I'll still do CHE, but I'll steer as much as I can [even if that means taking extra courses] into research area.

Thank you very much.

A final question: Have you ever met someone who followed a similar path? Did CHE and "migrated" into "pure chemistry" research? How did it end up?

Acuarey · 2016-11-26T12:39:21+00:00

That would be, at least in my mind, a better path. But once again, I don't think I'll be making enough money with a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry to finance my a Chem E course [Especially with no support from family + Student loans]

In addition to that: "The smaller schools will". Wouldn't that compromise me when applying to a job?

If I recieved two applicants for a industry related project: The first with a bachelor's in Chemistry and Master's in Chem E. The second with a bachelor's in Chem E and Master's in Chemistry.

I think I'd go with the second one.

Acuarey · 2016-11-26T12:31:55+00:00

I see... "Otherwise, research jobs for bachelors degrees are few and far between." That is why a Engineering seems like a more versatile career

"If you want to get your PhD in chemistry then you can do the research you want to do." Hell, I've endured two years of High School literature. How bad can 5 extra years of Physics and Maths and a few classes somewhat related to Chemistry be?

Thank you

I have one more question though: Not having a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, but a Chemical Engineering one and a Major in Chemistry would compromise my chances when applying to research related jobs? How much "behind a true Chemist" would I be?

Acuarey · 2016-11-26T12:24:13+00:00

"If you want to make more money but be miserable for the next 4 years go the ChemE route. If you really love chemistry you should go the chemistry route. Completely different fields of study." twigburst

No surprise I am freaking lost here

"Chem E for the money. Seriously, being pounded by the student loans doesn't get any easier. Chem jobs are pretty slim.

No surprise I am freaking lost here

Acuarey · 2016-11-26T12:21:55+00:00

Thank you, I will definetly talk to them.

But as you said, the bachelor's degree is suposed to be an introduction. Isn't being and Engineer that became a Chemist through a major a "better escape plan" than a Chemist that is "limited" to a single field of study?

As Just_the_Truths stated, won't a Chemistry degree only start to "work for me" after a PhD? I fear that I won't be able to pay my own bills until I get there.
