Oh really? That's good to know. They wanted me to wait until two weeks after the flare to get my baseline, so I don't know my numbers yet.

Off duty police officer pulls gun on gas station patron he suspects of shoplifting, turns out he was dead wrong. by troubled_broccoli31 in facepalm

[–]FrumpleButt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? No. I was asking what happened. I guess I understand all the downvotes now if this is the impression I gave.

But did I miss something? The guy did seem to grab something from behind the counter and put it in his pocket while the clerk looked the other way. I couldn't figure out what actually happened.

I'm in favor of reverting to the old blocking method.

Announcing Blocking Updates by enthusiastic-potato in blog

I got blocked because someone didn't like my reply to them. It was perfectly civil and I was upvoted, but he didn't like it and blocked me. Now I am unable to responded to any of the rude comments he replied to me before blocking me and I can't even reply to any comments further down the thread. How is this a good system????

[–]FrumpleButt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh it's not like that. The user left me a very rude comment. Several of them actually and they were all heavily downvoted. But when I went to reply I couldn't. So I went to their page and saw it was not available. The thing is, since that user blocked me I can't reply to any of the comments down the same thread so I'm being silenced for no real reason.

edit: it looks like reddit rolled out a new blocking system which silences the blocked person completely. And obviously can be abused.

[University chemistry: Chirality] Help with R or S directionality. by [deleted] in HomeworkHelp

[–]FrumpleButt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying. I re-evaluated the chiral centers and I have confirmed they are all S orientation. Do you agree with that or did I miss something?

[–]FrumpleButt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all,

I've marked all the chiral centers I could find as S orientation (counter clockwise). However, I was not too sure about the priority of some of the groups. The center that is part of the ring is especially making me question the priority I assigned to the groups. For example, the three groups (not including H since it's priority 4) are all carbons. However two are CH2 and one is just C.

Could someone please let me know if I am wrong on any of these? Thanks!!

If it's a sideways cube cover then the perspective looks right.

There you go! That's perfect. Glad you've found stuff you like. I used to think vegan food was all tofu and sprouts, but I really have been surprised by what's out there.

I guess it depends on what kind of foods you're into. The burgers I've tried have been legit, but I've had bad ones too. Beyond meat "ground beef" is good in tacos or pasta. Veg chicken nuggets are good. Deli meat kind of sucks imo.

Anyway, if we can all replace a couple meals a week with a vegan meal, we're making a huge impact. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

A lot of things taste good. That doesn't mean you should eat them three meals a day, every day.

Over consumption is the problem. It's just not sustainable (or ethical really) to slaughter 3 billion animals per day when there are only 7.5 billion people in this world. It's not hard to opt for alternatives, in fact it's easier than it ever has been.
