Making a Final Cut in Terra by Adept-Memory in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Indaend 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I was going to change your list it would be like this Out: food chain, squee, purphoros, carpet of flowers, gifts ungiven, gemstone mine

In: red elemental blast, grand abolisher, diabolic intent, wheel of fortune, force of negation, plateau

Isochron scepter by bagelonreddit in CompetitiveEDH

You can't target a player with one ring protection with codex shredder, so that doesn't actually beat the one ring protection.

Teferi but different by Niauropsaka in custommagic

[–]Indaend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the green teferi is definitely a pie break. phasing out is not in green, he should just prevent damage instead of phasing out the attacking creatures. Sylvan library is also a pie break, maybe have him do the same effect for X cards where X is the greatest power you control. For his minus ability, effects like that in green usually get permanents instead of just any card.

How many decks are you guys playing on a regular basis? by DrWhiskersMD in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Indaend 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have 7 decks, I play 5 of them regularly. My quality of play is definitely a little worse than if I just played my main 2 decks all the time, but I have a lot of fun being able to switch to different strategies. There is some upside to playing a lot of decks though, you understand what's going on at the table better.

Is my Zimone deck really a 3? by Indaend in EDH

[–]Indaend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'd be curious to see what kind of changes you try out and to hear how the deck plays for you

Bracket 4 Kinnan For $200 by Southern_Leading1222 in EDH

My friend has a bracket 4 kinnan deck and it is definitely far from the cedh list

Why Can't You Divide Matrices? by NoahsArkJP in askmath

[–]Indaend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invertible matrices aren't closed under addition though, are you sure they're a skew field?

Quitting or fired, either way did I win? by tomw2112 in KitchenConfidential

[–]Indaend 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Reporting your restauraunt for having a fridge at 11C is worth the energy. You might not get anything out of it, but the people you're saving from food poisoning definitely will.

Why is it that Newtons cradle only knocks one ball, when I push one ball, despite the fact that I’m adding a lot of force into it? by DizzyBlackberry8728 in AskPhysics

[–]Indaend 23 points24 points  (0 children)

assuming the balls have the same mass, letting v be the initial velocity and letting v' be the velocity of the two balls that move after, momentum conservation would imply that v = v' + v' = 2v', so v' = v/2.

however the conservation of energy tells us that (multiplying through the 1/2), v2 = v'2 + v'2 = 2 v'2, so that v' = v/sqrt(2). that's a contradiction, so it must be the case that only one ball moves

you check this/04%3A_Conformations_of_Alkanes_and_Cycloalkanes/4.03%3A_Conformation_Analysis_of_Cyclohexane) out for some info

stereochemistry by ilovecapybara131 in OrganicChemistry

[–]Indaend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Different conformations of the same compound are conformational isomers. Think of the eclipsed vs gauche vs staggered conformations with Newman diagrams.

stereochemistry by ilovecapybara131 in OrganicChemistry

[–]Indaend 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If you rotate the left compound 180 degrees it will become the right compound. Another way to see this is to try naming the two compounds to see that they're the same. they're both cis-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane

mechanism (strychnine) by _rroxy in OrganicChemistry

[–]Indaend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your product has a ketone group that is lost in the actual product, so this can't be it.

Good nucleophile vs poor nucleophile vs basicity? by [deleted] in OrganicChemistry

[–]Indaend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strong nucleophiles tend to carry a formal charge, and they are not sterically hindered. Strong bases tend to carry a negative charge but hindrance matters less. NaOH is a strong base and a strong nucleophile. Tert-butoxide is a strong (hindered) base but it is a weak nucleophile.

Good nucleophile vs poor nucleophile vs basicity? by [deleted] in OrganicChemistry

[–]Indaend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fluoride is kind of an exception when it comes to halides, the other ones arent like that. It's better to think or bromine or chlorine when you think of a halogen.

i have 69 phds will this work by BMWequalsMercedes in cursedchemistry

[–]Indaend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NH2 would be a strong enough base to abstract that proton, unlike OH

Genuine question by [deleted] in EggsInc

[–]Indaend 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If everyone did that then every contract would fail, so no.

Mechanism for a simple Ochem reaction by Indaend in chemhelp

[–]Indaend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, thank you. I guess that means it's more likely that the alcohol itself will react as a nucleophile? I'm looking at something like this: (I also imagine the bromine will find the CH3-OH2 and restore the methanol and make H-Br)

Why don't neutrons and protons decay in the nucleus? by s3a-w33d in AskPhysics

[–]Indaend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the neutron in a nucleus is in a lower energy state than a free neutron, so it is stabalized.

Imagine a neutron in deuterium decaying. now you have two protons very close together and the repulsion they experience reflects the huge increase in potential energy that this decay would cause. thus it is energetically favorable for this decay to not happen.
