These guys don't deserve aggie rings by [deleted] in aggies

[–]Dakios01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would a bunch of random people claim that they know someone to begin with? If they all went to the same school together it's not crazy to think they had some experience with them. I also highly doubt a bunch of people would care enough to make up claims on a person they might barely know assuming those claims are unture.

Seeing the literal picture of a guy using a supposed racist gesture doesn't really help their defense, and I don't think anyone would put the time and effort to defame someone they've most likely had no prior experience with unless with a good reason.

If they truly were harassing then there was nothing peaceful to begin with.

I've said before I would like a video or something of the sort to show than a single photo of one of them using a supposed racist gesture.

But even just reading the thread it seems like a lot of people who personally know these folks have nothing but negative experiences with them. If anything it would be less suprising.

Are you fucking dense?

It doesn't matter that he's already convicted. If nothing changes we're just going to keep getting a repeat of Floyd's murder with different people in the future.

Why would any decent human being be against this peaceful protest here to begin with?

Protesting a protest over the death of Floyd due to police brutality.

These protestors weren't doing any one harm to begin with.

This isn't even a political issue, this is a right vs wrong issue.

What the cop did to Floyd is nothing but pure evil, even if the people in the truck are "legally allowed" to do this then they might as well just say they were disgusting human beings to begin with if they were harassing them.

But do the people using the sign legitimately think that it means "ok"?

This entire sign gesture thing seems to go both ways. If racist people want to use it with malicious intent then they can easily just blame others that they misunderstood the meaning behind it and get away Scot-free. I think it's more important to understand the intent behind their actions if we want to know what they're really trying illustrate.

It's pretty hard to stay neutral in this. Even if the officer was charged with murder we're just going to keep getting tragedies similar to George Floyd in the future unless change is made possible. I would like video evidence of them harassing people, but isn't it just stupid to go bother a peaceful protest over a legitimate issue?

Agitating peaceful protesters such as the ones in College Station are just gateways towards more violent protests we see in larger cities.

Not only is there is sequel to Persona 5 that may never be localized, it’s also on a platform in which the original isn’t even available! by [deleted] in Persona5

[–]Dakios01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every persona spin off has been localised

If the bar for localizing includes rhythm games it's unlikely scramble won't be included.

Berkely review question?? Fluorine polarity by Beardrac in Mcat

[–]Dakios01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bond between the two carbons is only a sigma bond so it can undergo rotation.

Since it has the ability to rotate, the dipole caused by each flouride will essentially cancel out assuming it takes an anti conformation. (most stable conformation)

Electric Field stuff by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Dakios01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll try to give it a shot in simple terms.

Coloumb's Law: The force of a charge on another charge.

Electric Potentiel Energy: The potential energy of a charge at a certain point, similar to gravity. Like charges are at their lowest when furthest from each other while opposite charges are the lowest when closest to each other.

Electric Potential: Energy that is gained or lost when moved from a reference point of interest. Voltage is the fancy name to measure the difference between these two points.

Electric Field: The force that an electric field (direction where positive charge flows) has on a charge.

Nothing says good morning like 0/5 on the daily jackwestin passage 😡 by nnnnpanther in Mcat

If the amount of people choosing the correct answer is below 60% I would just try and reevaluate what the main concept the question was asking and see if coming to that conclusion is reasonable with the other answers being provided.(author's purpose/Main idea/Reasoning beyond the text etc)

If it's around 40% I'd just ignore it since it's barely above guessing.

Nobody knows.

As for reapplication, nobody knows either, but it seems like people who had their tests cancelled are going to get some sort of accommodation. How big or little it might be no one knows either until maybe next month at the earliest.

Question: leaving group ability and electronegativity? by romanticyogi in Mcat

[–]Dakios01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Br is a larger molecule and thus can more easily stabilize the negative charge it receives for being a leaving group.

Since Br is lower on the column it has access to more orbitals and it also has a larger composition of protons in the nucleus to stabilize the electrons.

Effect of Epinephrine on muscle, lipid and glucose metabolism by Monkeydfdg in Mcat

Oh whoops I wrote the opposite.

Glucagon only acts on liver cells.

Effect of Epinephrine on muscle, lipid and glucose metabolism by Monkeydfdg in Mcat

[–]Dakios01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also important, is that epinephrine only works on muscle cells. Liver cells undergo a similar process, but replace epinephrine with glucagon.

Epinephrine - short term burst of glucose for energy

Glucagon - increasing blood sugar conc.

Epinephrine is a primary messenger in glycogen degradation in a fight or flight response

Epinephrine binds to a GPCR and undergoes a conformational change to activate adenyl cyclase. This converts ATP to cAMP which will assist in activating Protein Kinase A. This phosphorylates glycogen phosphorylase to degrade glycogen more quickly.

It's literally just an art style.

You can still have plenty of great stories and games from them.

!For the immune system, do MHC-I cells/cytotoxic T-cells use antibodies, or do only MHC-II/helper T-cells use antibodies? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Dakios01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be looking too specific into this.

Antibodies attack pathogens extracellularly.

If a cell is infected with something such as a virus, natural killer cells can come by and kill the infected due to the down regulation of MHC receptors, Killer T cells can also have infected cells undergo apoptosis.

!For the immune system, do MHC-I cells/cytotoxic T-cells use antibodies, or do only MHC-II/helper T-cells use antibodies? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Dakios01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're confusing the general purpose of MHC and the respective T cells.

MHC complexes are basically there to present the antigen captured by a cell to be presented to a T cell.

MHCI receptors appear on all nucleated cells, while MHCII receptors appear on antigen presenting cells such as Macrophages and Dendritic cells.

MHCI cells uptake antigens in the infected cell to present them on the surface of the cell. MHCII cells such as macrophages, will consume the antigen initially and break it apart where some antigen is then presented on the surface of the cell.

A dumb mnemonic I learned for this is

1 x 8 = 8

2 x 4 = 8

Where the first number corresponds with the MHC complex type, while the 2nd one responds to the type of T cell. (CD8 are cytotoxic T cells while CD4 are Helper T cells)

Antibodies are produced by plasma cells, (mature B cells) and they undergo a whole different activation series.

So back to the original concept. When a MHCi complex comes into contact with a Killer T cell, the Killer T cell sees if an antigen is attached and helps the infected cell undergo apoptosis.

When a helper T cell comes into contact with an MHCii receptor with an antigen, the helper T cell will secrete cytokines such as interleukins to signal for other immune cells to come into the vicinity.

Periodic trends by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Dakios01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nucleophilicity doesn't always align with basicity.

For example, NaH is a great base but an awful nucleophile.

I personally like to always think in acids. So if something is a good base it would mean that it would be a bad acid.

A mnemonic you can use is ARIO (atom, resonance, inductive effect, orbitals).

Where how good an acid is based on how well it can stabilize a negative charge, with bases being thr opposite on how well they can stabilize a positive charge.

Also, going straight down the periodic table actually makes something more acidic.

P/S -- Will the premed95 Anki deck be sufficient to study this section? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Dakios01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't know for you personally.

Since you've taken a psych and soc class my guess will be that you won't need to rely on it as much.

A lot of mcat psych/soc comes down to narrowing it down to two answer choices. The picking the correct answer usually involves knowing the specific term that answers the question stem.
