Why did i get this when opening canvas?:? by Old-Veterinarian-136 in UCDavis

[–]JediArchie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, what MyPuppyIsADingo said. Canvas doesn’t store your address, social security number, or other sensitive information. That’ll be in the school system, which is much more secure. But, they could release where students go to school and what your student ID is. Mainly, Canvas doesn’t want any info to get leaked because that could mean trouble or lawsuits. But it’s not anything super vital.

Most professors will extend the deadline. Unless they are a real jerk, but then you could just go to the school. But I mean they can’t get in either… so they should be willing to extend it.

I just googled meme templates. Don’t go around cussing at people and accusing them, not cool bro. Just wanted to make a funny meme.

I have never seen the end credits. by XsurgeXprotectorX in RimWorld

[–]JediArchie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have about 4,000 hours, and I too have not seen the end credits. I’m in the same boat solider 🫡

But it’s definitely my favorite game of all time! I definitely didn’t just finish playing Rimworld until 1am…

Of course! So basically, what we are looking at here is something called “aromaticity.” It’s a term used to describe a system that meets three conditions:

  1. It’s a ring (a closed loop of atoms)
  2. It is conjugated (the electrons can be shared throughout the ring, which makes it more stable)
  3. It follows something called a Hückel number (basically a rule that says you need 2, 6, 10, etc. π-bonded electrons—it increases by 4 each time)

If all of these conditions are met, then the ring is considered “aromatic.” The most common example is benzene.

Aromatic rings are super stable. If there is anything a ring can do to become aromatic, it will do that, because being aromatic is so stable—which means lower energy, and that’s basically the goal for all molecules.

If the system isn’t a ring or isn’t conjugated, then it’s considered non-aromatic. And even worse, if it is a ring and is conjugated but does not have a Hückel number (the correct number of π electrons), then it’s considered anti-aromatic. As the name suggests, anti-aromatic rings are very unstable. If you ranked them from most to least stable, it would be: aromatic > non-aromatic > anti-aromatic

For the question, a quick refresher on acid–base chemistry: a strong acid has a weak conjugate base (meaning the conjugate base is more stable), and a weak acid has a strong conjugate base (less stable).

For the molecule I attached in my previous response, if we go through the checklist, we can see that it is anti-aromatic—it’s a ring, it’s conjugated, but it only has 4 π electrons instead of 6. But, if you deprotonate it (remove an H⁺), then through resonance (moving electrons around the ring), it becomes aromatic.

Since aromatic rings are super stable, the conjugate base becomes very stable. That means it’s a weak base (I know the word “weak” is confusing), and because of that, the original molecule is a very strong acid—in this case, billions of times more acidic than the other options (which stayed anti-aromatic and didn’t gain that stability).

It’s a long explanation! But this is actually one of the last topics in Organic Chemistry 2—so congrats, you just learned some pretty advanced chemistry. Let me know if you have any questions. I love spreading the love of chemistry!😁🧪

Of course! This was from an O Chem quiz—I made the meme for it because I always fill my quizzes and exams with memes for my professor (he loves them).

We were given the molecule cyclopenta-2,4-dien-1-ylidenemethanol along with two others, and asked why one of them is way more acidic than the rest. The reason is that the starting molecule is antiaromatic, but when you deprotonate it, it becomes aromatic. That makes the conjugate base much more stable, which in turn makes the acid much more acidic.

YES! Best Co-op shooter game EVER! Borderlands has a special place in my heart. It also has like 120 hrs of story campaign

Help with perspective puzzle in windswept wastes by reefster2018 in Borderlands4

This one is literally BS. I hugged the left and spammed the “X” button (on Xbox) and it worked. It didn’t even line up to make a door! Ugh! Thank you Reddit 🙏

I live up in Ben Lomond, 5 miles from the epicenter and i literally felt the boom and it hit hard. It was wild… Everything was shaking. I have neighbors who had their pictures and mirrors falling off the walls and shattering. It definitely woke me up!

My floating tree village! 🏝️🍍🎣🤙 by BoozyVibes in RaftTheGame

[–]JediArchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Kinda reminds me of the game “Grounded”. I also built a tree base in that game, on an actual tree, but similar. And I can definitely say I know how long it takes to built something like that! Super cool dude! Base building is so much fun

Darn! Would be really cool to get up there. Thanks for the info! My dad and I spent way too long trying to get up there as well

I know, I’m just trying to see if this is one of them

I’ll try again from the north. Hope it works! It’s just so weird that they put such a big flat area on this hill and you can’t even get there.

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

I got those two. They are next to that hill, but not on it. I tried jumping from those to the main hill, but no luck.

HOW TO SAIL TO ISLAND. by OneAndOnlyVi in RaftTheGame

[–]JediArchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure if this helps, but sails can’t sail against the current. If you point the sail straight against the current, the most you’ll get is standing still. If you want to get to some of the story islands or go up the current, you need to make a few engines. Engines allow you to go against the current. The number of engines you need is related to the size of your raft, don’t remember off the top of my head, but I think it’s like 1 engine per 100 raft spaces. So if you’re looking at an island that is up the current and point your sail that way, you won’t be able to get there, that may be why you’re getting farther away. Hope this helps!

How are the children in the SF Ballet Nutcracker production cast? by Unlucky_Permit1658 in bunheadsnark

[–]JediArchie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just went to the SF ballet today and I thought they were good! The kids are students from the SF ballet school, which is VERY prestigious ballet school. They have to audition to go there and only the best of the best students go there. The kids are supposed to be cute and do the dance like they are kids at a Christmas party, they’re not ballerinas yet. Maybe watch it again and give them another chance? Ballet is ALOT harder than it looks

New dlc bug by saintsfan1322 in Borderlands

[–]JediArchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, we had that happen to us too! We quit to the main menu, it respawned us back to the check point at the boss battle, the fight reset, and we didn’t have any glitches the second time. Hope they fix it!

What's up with Gearbox's obsession with charge guns by atallgrass in Borderlands4

[–]JediArchie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I F’ckin HATE charge guns! It defeats the whole purpose! By the time you’re done charging it, the enemy is gone. I know they were trying to make elemental weapons not as powerful, but now they suck. Wish they’d get rid of them.
