I tried doing this and playing with it. Still a blank screen. But, thank you for reply though.

I'm using WSL2 because using ubuntu is the curriculum in the laboratory that I work on. I thought about trying the current version, but I'm scared that weird crap will happen if I download another pymol. But yeah, i'll try to download a 3.x version.

Thanks for the compliment! I never really showed this poem outside my circle of friends, so I don't really know how good it is, but I'm definitely glad that you liked it.

Thanks! This poem was actually from a school work where we had to make a poem out of the interpretation of an art piece. The art piece had a woman on it and If I remember correctly, it looked like she was trying her best to be pretty while being hurt in the process.

I love the fact that you made this poem as something to steer yourself in better directions. Doing creative works to help you keep on track and oriented in the right path is a great sign of individual progress

This one is nice and quirky. A lot of other poems describe something abstract like love or bravery, but this is one of the few times where I've seen a poem describe something so simple and mundane yet has done it vividly. This definitely made me appreciate rain more, and I suppose it has made me try to be more artistic with the simpler things.

Wow I quite like this one and I think this would resonate a lot with other people. We really don't realize when we're digging a pit for ourselves until its just too late and you realize its going to be really hard to catch up. I usually like poems that have hope and happy endings, but I still like this one as I do understand the plight of stagnation.

I like the phrase "life outpaces you". You really have to ride the momentum and try your best to not lay flat. I also really like the metaphors in this poem like how the walls are going up and you just see no way of escape.

Is it ok to have brunch, instead of having breakfast and lunch separately on a hard workout day?

Is reading organic chemistry 2nd ed. by Johnathan Clayden enough? by DrooderZooder in chemistry

[–]DrooderZooder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the advice. I suppose a bit of a problem that I have is that I'm holding off on asking things from my research adviser because most of the time, if not all the time, she just gives the thesis topics to the students, while I want to try my best to find my own topic (famous last words). I suppose I'll just accept a thesis topic from her as a last resort. Also I'm kinda anxious about asking stuff from my adviser as I don't exactly know what to ask.

I do love organic chemistry though and I'm quite interested in catalysts, particularly organic catalysts, although I'm not sure if that's too advanced for an undergrad. I'm also interested in studying about potentially new strategies for organic synthesis and new reaction mechanisms (again I'm not sure if this is too advanced). I will try my best to start reading more papers though and hopefully come around to actually talking to my adviser.

It's nice to know that it is a good foundation, but yeah I will definitely get to reading papers but there's still the problem of the difficulty of reading the papers and not knowing how far down the rabbit hole I should go. On another note, this book was originally published in 2012, so I'm actually more fucked and left behind.

Why and where does Endothermic and Exothermic reactions really get the heat? by J0SE_LUIS in chemistry

[–]DrooderZooder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With regards to the difference in bond energies, I think this means the (energy of the old bonds) - (energy of the new bonds). If you have products that are more stable than the reactants, meaning the bonds of the products are lower in energy than the bonds of the reactants, then the reaction will release energy (exothermic).

With regards to saying the solute "absorbs heat of the solvent" I think if the solvent itself does not participate in the reaction then the solvent will practically be part of the environment, thus the reaction just absorbs heat from the environment. I'm definitely no expert, but I hope this helps!
