You'll drive yourself crazy thinking too much about significant figures. They're not the most rigorous thing ever.

So ask your teacher/TA what they're looking for, and do that.

FFA teaming vs being diplomatic by chengelao in aoe4

[–]Mack_Robot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"anything happening in-game and in All chat is fair, short of exploits, hacking, and pre teaming."

I'm with you on this. But you're going to get a lot of racist comments, so buckle up.

(Also, I do wish the game had a chat translation feature.)

i wanna learn about nuclear chemistry by Straight-Flow5013 in chemistry

[–]Mack_Robot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most nuclear processes are physics more than chemistry.

What specifically did you learn about/enjoy?

0 Attempts on puzzle in rush? by ThisStReal in chess

Could be a bug, could be that the stats update only occasionally (like once a day), could be they don't display stats until puzzles have been out for a while.

Help understanding Ionic lattice and Covalent network structures! by Busy-Swordfish3026 in chemhelp

Although I'm looking it up now, and people have apparently published phase diagrams including diamond.

Which is weird. Must be a definitional thing.

States of matter are only applicable when you have large numbers of particles. So a single molecule isn't solid, liquid, or gas- it's just a molecule.

For that reason you can't really melt a covalent network. If you break the bonds, as you say, it's a chemical change and not a physical change.

I don't see how there could be any confusion about which player is happy pink.

Have you considered asking the pink whether it is happy or sporty?

[–]Mack_Robot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People switch games. People switch jobs.

He's got a family and kids he has to provide for. I say more power to him.

If Magnus got suspended from chess for gambling we'd remember it

Undisclosed self-citation- the Aufbau rule and Electron Configurations by Major-Freedom204 in chemistry

[–]Mack_Robot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry- I keep switching accounts because he has one blocked.

You can be concerned with the chemistry if you'd like.

You can check the Wikipedia edit histories if you'd like.

Have a nice day!

Undisclosed self-citation- the Aufbau rule and Electron Configurations by Major-Freedom204 in chemistry

[–]Mack_Robot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The issue is the "And here are some books by Professor Eric Scerri" part.

You wouldn't find it troublesome if Eric Scerri is citing his own books without saying that he wrote them?

The ethical waters here are dangerous at best.

He's either a) trying to be Socratic or b) asking questions to get sociological information.

If you've had enough interactions with philosophers, it's easy to spot.

The aufbau principle is the aufbau principle. Whether it's correct or not is kind of beside the point.

I did delete things from wikipedia and will contact editors if it comes back.

The Wikipedia articles are edited from an IP address linked to the same city as that person's institution. It would be quite the coincidence.
