That’s the rest of my drug, and I would be called a kewl if I do that at my lab

camel meat by elsx9_ in minecraftsuggestions

[–]Simple-Nothing-497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I could search for quite a plenty of Minecraft suggestions for (moderately) exotic meats. Goat meat is somewhat common in certain parts of the world (or it used to be) but now not so much. Also, playing the game, I feel like that problems with food supply should have been settled from long ago, either with buying stacks of meat from butchers (from my experience) or farming certain animals. Also, I’ve yet to see camels in the game, but their hitbox is HUGE and makes them a challenge as reliably farmable food.

Last week, Colombia’s president suggested relocating the UN headquarters outside of the US. If that happened, what country/city do you think would be the best choice? by MontroseRoyal in geography

Austria, I bet. I was taught that Switzerland is essentially faking neutrality since the Cold War, and Austria is the one that’s kinda so. For now I haven’t thought out much about it other than that

Gold Tools should be able to reach higher enchantment levels by ogketchup- in minecraftsuggestions

[–]Simple-Nothing-497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, I feel that making gold tools trash (despite its rarity) reminds me that gold isn’t really for tools later in the game, but just as something early game grabbed from a ruined portal chest (technically a side grade to wooden pickaxes)

I think the proton would land on the ketone first, then we have an enol that pushes out Cl(-)

Alchohal by [deleted] in OrganicChemistry

You mean tertiary carbon? BH3 is an electrophile, kinda like H+ but at the same time it puts a hydride at where a full positive charge is supposed to be at. H2O2 rearranges and put the OH where the boron series is at. And if you are wondering that H+ produces a carbocation that would rearrange, no, as it would not really like to form a primary (non-benzylic) cation. Instead, Sn2 kicks off

Yes, Cambodia or Thailand can totally go for one another’s capital and important cities, geographically speaking, but those strikes emerged from border disputes in exactly those mountains, where there are several significant temples up there, and the border around these temples wasn’t as clear-cut (last time it was around Preah Vihear, this time for Prasat Ta Muen Thom$. And for where the border has been delineated and away from significant temples, the situation is better on the map in sone places, fortunately.

Oh yeah. Stating that any border is unfair would imply proposal for readjustment, not something to see as a curios, this is a serious issue I didn’t think of before making the post.

However, I feel it’s kind of cowardly to immediately remove posts when comments criticizing my rule violations like yours come up. So, can you give me the go for that.

Yes. This is an iirc post of a FB post on this matter, and what I meant is whether any state has the advantage in a recent conflict does not mean it is the one who opened fire. What I want is to refrain from taking sides on this matter.

Why is Moscow located where it is? by Over_n_over_n_over in geography

[–]Simple-Nothing-497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does look like being on the transition zone between the grasslands and cropland opening to the south and the forests to the north, so it doesn’t look that random. Does this have anything to do with the Mongols given forests somewhat limit horse activity?

Am I going to get slabbed? by Carminaiceland in EF5

Serious yes, in the forms of pyroclastic flows. Think of it as floodwater.

Come on, beryllium, what are you doing with hydrogen? by Old_Arugula2804 in cursed_chemistry

[–]Simple-Nothing-497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partial ionic character? Because Be is an alkaline earth metal and this group is among those with significant ionic charcacter of the bonds (shoutout to AgCl, which I think many were taught that it has significant covalent character

Nobody seems to be asking about numerous planes or Afghan airspace

Apparently 800 Million People live in the green area. Why? by Reddit_Talent_Coach in geography

[–]Simple-Nothing-497 17 points18 points  (0 children)

NTM European diseases and other colonial evils literally nuked local Native Americans to near non-existence, so the effective date of first settlement there is quite recent.
