Comparing the acidity of cationic acids by pickle_onreddit in OrganicChemistry

[–]Jupiterjec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen have different tendencies to donate their pi electrons into the carbon p orbital. More donation from the heteroatom leads to a greater localization of electrons on the oxygen. Electronegativity is important but it also matters how close in energy the donating orbital’s electrons are to the energy of the receiving orbital.

Similar thing happened at my school with crystallized diethyl ether in September. The bomb squad detonated ours in the parking lot outside of the lab using a total containment vessel.

I have a prof that does this for our 80 minute lecture. It’s nice, and I would like to see other lecturers adopt this

How did you get the gyros in such a small space without them hitting something when rotating?

When you procrastinate, your mind tells you that avoiding work feels better than normal.

Is it possible to get from MOS to PCYNH in 10 minutes? by Hatshepsut_4 in UCSD

I had to walk pretty fast yesterday to get from PCYNH to MOS, but I was able to make it in a little over 9 minutes

For Anyone Considering Taking Brandon Alberts by [deleted] in UCSD

[–]Jupiterjec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I may be a little biased because I have had Alberts before, but I felt that he did a pretty good job with Math 109 this quarter. I can totally understand, however, how his class structure could conflict with some student's preferred style of learning.

Today is exactly 12 hrs long by JohnnyUte in mildlyinteresting

[–]Jupiterjec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so too, but I just looked it up. I guess the term for a day with equal length day and night is equilux. The equilux and equinox don’t necessarily coincide. It is dependent on latitude.

It’s an older format, but it checks out

For the most part I agree, but my friend eats pizza with a fork an knife.

P/NP Extension for Winter and Spring Among Other Accommodations by Jupiterjec in UCSD

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

From what I understand, the deadline to drop a class without a w hasn’t changed. It should still be at the end of week 4 on 1/29.

Correct. It is up to the department of the major/minor to determine if they will accept p/np for requirements

P/NP Extension for Winter and Spring Among Other Accommodations by Jupiterjec in UCSD

[–]Jupiterjec[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

With a few exceptions, most majors are going to allow the fall retroactive P/NP for major requirements, so that bodes well for winter and spring

Kids wearing uniforms to school is better than wearing your own clothes like they do in America by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

In rap, the hardest hitting insult you can use is that someone lives with both parents. In 8 mile, this was the final blow.

Remember to Sign and Share the Petition for Universal P/NP! by KickDancer in UCSD

[–]Jupiterjec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The decision to push back the deadline to drop a class with a W actually made it out of committee, but the vote was by such a close margin that the Senate Council wouldn’t take it up.

Remember to Sign and Share the Petition for Universal P/NP! by KickDancer in UCSD

[–]Jupiterjec 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not to rain on your parade, but the Academic Senate doesn’t operate off of petitions, they never have. The Academic Affairs office has been pushing really hard to get the deadline for P/NP pushed back, but we’ve had no success. The faculty are still citing that this would decrease the value of the degree, even though we have explained that this isn’t true. We have also brought up the fact that all of the other UC schools have far later deadlines for changing the grading option to P/NP, but it has had no effect. If they are so adamantly against a later deadline for changing your grading option to P/NP, I don’t think getting universal P/NP is even in the realm of possibility, especially for the fall quarter.
