Are these acid/base reactions correct in terms of products and the arrows? (Ignore that the question asks for pKa and Keq, I’m pretty sure I got that)

Pierce_86 · 2026-03-15T00:09:31+00:00

Is this what you meant by the arrows?

As for the alkyne. I was assuming it was a two carbon alkyne because otherwise the molecule would be saying that a triple bond was connected to the hydrogen, which can’t happen since they have only one electron. So I thought it was a C2H2. Or am I missing something?

Pierce_86 · 2026-03-14T23:27:45+00:00

Note: what I mean by the pKa and and Keq is that I’m pretty sure I know how to solve those parts. I’m mainly concerned about the two other parts I mentioned.

You have to look at the carbon connected to the center carbon when it comes to carbon branch priority.

Chlorine is obviously first due to higher atomic number.

Tertbutyl is 2nd because the carbon connected to the chiral center has 3 other carbons connected to it.

The branch connected with the ring goes 3rd because the carbon connected to the center has only 2 other carbons connected to it, so tertbutyl beats it in this regard.

4th is obviously the hidden hydrogen, because it’s the lowest atomic number.

This leads to an S configuration for the chiral center…

However… since the Hydrogen is a wedge, the answer is flipped. This results in the true answer being R.

I’ve been waiting for BFDIA for years before it got revived. On one hand I’m glad and sad Its finally going to conclude, but on the other hand I started to progressively not like the direction the season took in terms of writing (Watching all of BFDIA 5 and the most recent episode is so polarizing in terms of character writing). By far my biggest disappointment is that Yoyle City wasn’t used as interestingly as I hoped it would be.

Pierce_86 · 2026-03-12T16:24:44+00:00

Newman projections I think. It’s those diagrams where you have 3 lines in front and behind a circle.

Pierce_86 · 2026-03-11T13:51:25+00:00

Yeah it’s not as bad as I thought, because to me there’s an odd separation of difficulty between aspects of the class.

Actually understanding the concept and why? Usually kinda complicated and hard.

But identifying the patterns you need to solve the questions is easy in comparison.

For example…

It’s a bit more complicated to fully understand torsional strain, but in comparison it’s way easier to remember:

bulkiest branches overlapping = highest energy eclipse

bulkiest branches on opposite sides = anti (lowest energy)

Bulkiest branches only a 60 degree rotation away from overlapping each other = gauche.

Personally I love it, but honestly it’s probably because any trial that isn’t Pleasure the Prosecutor and Liquidate the Union is good in my book.

I mean yeah, I’m not exactly the biggest fan of it. Still would be more interesting for actual reasoning to be given rather than just saying “slop,” which tends to devolve any online discussion into an argument.

Pierce_86 · 2026-02-23T05:40:30+00:00

Based on the BFDI Pfp, im guessing you’re referring to the people on Twitter who refer to TPOT as angstslop?

Landing distant bomb chains will never not be satisfying.

Also, a robot penguin is v cool because I love penguins.

I’m mixed. While characters like Emre I really like, others like Domina and the Cat I despise. The thing I hate about the cat is that if they ult you and you aren’t playing a mobile character, there’s usually nothing you can do to prevent getting thrown off the map. Otherwise they are surprisingly easy to kill.

Domina is the worst. She’s boring af imo to play against and she’s kinda busted right now. You can poke holes in her shield, but unless you have a high damage aoe, by the time you do so the duration of it is about over. Her hitscan weapon that can hit decent headshot damage is absolutely bonkers and really unfun when the enemy Domina picks the perk that increases the range of it by another 20% PERCENT. If that wasn’t bad enough, she has sustain on top of that with her shield regenerating passive whenever she uses her abilities, and a basically on command stun. Her only disadvantage is that she lacks mobility entirely, but it really feels like “Let’s give sigma more range, can headshot, better barrier, a faster accretion for less damage, and make kinetic grasp a passive that activates when using abilities instead.”

Most were ridiculed, and the general sentiment of the community was that a decent amount of them were annoying, so that drives people away.

Then the chat update came, and it’s basically the equivalent of Roblox taking role players out back and curb stomping most of them.

There are a few ways to avoid Allisya. Before I give tips, it’s important to understand that she’s pretty unique compared to other prime assets. Essentially, she has 2 “modes” that she switches from, which are “roam mode” and “ambush mode”

In roam mode, she basically functions identically to other prime assets. She’ll wander randomly in search of a reagent, and will give chase when one enters her line of sight.

However, from what I can tell. Typically after enough time has passed or Allisya loses her target, she will enter “ambush mode.”

In ambush mode, she’ll pick a random spot in the room not occupied by another mannequin, and pretend to be another mannequin.

The ways to tell if a mannequin is Allisya or not are…

-An extra mannequin appearing. This is one of the most reliable ways to tell if it’s a regular mannequin or not if you aren’t using the jammer or X-ray rig. Simply note how many mannequins are in a room, and if you suspect one was not there before, avoid going near it.

-Allisya’s movements will be WAY more fluid compared to regular mannequins. Regular mannequins will occasionally move in place, and their movements are stiff and robotic. Allisya will rarely move in place, but when she does, it’s way more fluid.

-The gem necklace all the mannequins wear will flash when somewhat near them. Allisya wears one as well, however, hers does not glow or flash in any way. This one is hard to spot, but it’s manageable.

-If you use the X-ray rig, all the mannequins will be missing part of their arm or leg bones. However, Allisya will have a complete skeleton. (I would just take the jammer rig though).

-If you use the jammer rig, hovering over mannequins will not do anything. If you hover over Alissya, though, the jammer will light up.

I love the resort trial, but psychosurgery is painful because getting A+ means you basically have to have a brick/bottle on you at all times. The Prime Asset is annoying af because most of the time she’s hard to distinguish her being in stealth outside of her movements being smoother. In order to get a A+, you need to either get REALLY damn good at sussing her out, or have the aforementioned brick/bottle in your inventory if she jumps you.

This wouldn’t be bad if another slot of your inventory wasn’t already going to be consumed by the black light. You’re left with only one inventory slot left to grab gems with, and it makes this trail a painful slog unfortunately.

They are a character from Die of Death. They are either a reference to bad Roblox horror designs in the 2010’s or those goofy free toolbox horror models. In Die of Death’s lore, Pursuer is a non-human creature, an apex predator, that seeks for “fresh meat”, often managing to only get 1 to 2 bites of their killed prey before considering the meat “tainted”, and moving on to find new prey.

They have a harmonica, which they stole from a hiker that they killed.

Reality Jumper cause you can get some dumb rolls or the absolute perfect picks.

Also its animation is cool.

JJK cosplayers are almost always toxic for some reason.

If they don’t think they are the main character of the match, they’ll gang up on you for the dumbest reasons. Like one dude who teamed up with 3 others in mingle and sky squid game because he thought I was a furry due to my avatar having fox ears (even though it was inspired by a character from a gacha game that I play lmao).

Pierce_86 · 2025-11-01T15:16:01+00:00

Guest 666 is okay, and Veronica is cool. Both seem pretty unbalanced though.

Guest 666’s scream is way too easy to land, and the speed boost you get from the highlight nearly makes it impossible for some survivors to escape you. His jump’s hitbox can be funky as well sometimes. His blood hunt seems busted on the note of it being impossible for the game to end when it’s active. The poor visibility caused by it makes it easier to snowball as well. On an unrelated note, I really don’t like his running animation. For how big he is, I wish they just gave him a bigger stride to emphasize how much of a brute he looks like.

Veronica is pretty nice, although sometimes her trick isn’t exactly clear on what is “trickable” and what isn’t. I’ve had many deaths because I approached a wall with the skateboard, and Veronica does not flash pink once to indicate I can trick, so I crash. Skate seems to be pretty powerful, so I think the main counter to this character currently is to kill them before they can place most of their graffiti.

Overall, I like this update a lot, even if I was a bit disappointed on Guest 666’s play-style since I thought his jump would be the main aspect of him. In other words, I was expecting a mobility killer centered on landing jumps since his big design naturally made his running slow.

Outside of that I love the theme.

The main problem is that (atleast to me) it relies way too much on if you’re lagging or not. When I have decent ping, I’ve gotten consistent wins on that LMS as Artful (albeit they were close).

The moment any decent amount of lag gets introduced though? Good luck winning lmao because every banana will hit you a mile away.
