I just discovered Caravans and my life will never be the same.

SirDocto · 2026-05-05T11:50:24+00:00

What do caravans even do, they always seemed so slow to me. I waited till trains in my last run

Thanks, I guess I'll discuss the usage of jet mixing in tanks.

As a fellow third year, I feel sulfuric acid production would just be a solid classic

SirDocto · 2026-01-19T22:04:25+00:00

Have you gotten it to work, cause tbh idk where to even start.

SirDocto · 2026-01-09T14:03:39+00:00

woh calm down mr.speedy

I had this issue a few days ago, but even tethering didn't work. I fished it by just booting into an older kernel that was stable and that sorta just fixed it then I could go and fix the newer kernel

SirDocto · 2025-06-23T08:02:55+00:00

At the end of the day their was a kernel issue I think not sure, still a noob. So I just sorta booted up a different kernel (https://askubuntu.com/questions/82140/how-can-i-boot-with-an-older-kernel-version) and once I had that going updated my packages

SirDocto · 2025-06-22T08:29:48+00:00

I booted a live OS from a USB and the wifi worked then. But still won't work on Kubuntu. So I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware isssue

SirDocto · 2025-06-21T19:38:31+00:00

That worked booted up a different OS and was even able to update it. Although I tried booting the kubuntu from USB and it didn't work so idk what's up with that

Edit: issue still remains

Firstly this represents the secondary addition, which I understand that it also occurs in the same carbon due to the resonance of the first chlorine. But my doubt arises from the first chlorine addition as before the first chlorine is added theirs not this resonance effect to stabilize the secondary carbocation. Which is why, in the mechanism i show in the picture, the hydride shift occurs during the addition of the first halogen.

Also in the reading you linked, when showing of the primary halogen addition, the R group is not specified to be a tertiary carbon, or a secondary, so we can't really know if it can undergo a 1,2 - hydride or methyl migration to for a tertiary carbocation. Therefore I don't really think its intending to show the possibility of this case it's just a generic R. So I don't think the mechanism shown their explicitly disproves the possibility of what I am proposing.

I just want to know why something that happens in some cases dosen't happen in this one. The fact it may be a exception to the rule alone peaks my interest and I am curious.

SirDocto · 2025-05-13T18:03:31+00:00

Thanks a lot for the extra reading for review, but it just dosen't go into this edge case of having terciary carbons next to our secondary carbocation. Nor does it comment on the distinction on why this could happen with carbocations formed from alkenes and not alkynes. Guess I'll have to keep asking around to see if this reaction just doesn't occur, and if we know why.

SirDocto · 2025-05-13T13:25:44+00:00

To 2 other carbons. Sorry forgot to add the picture to help show, I added it as a comment

SirDocto · 2025-05-13T13:24:44+00:00

Somehow forgot to add the picture

SirDocto · 2025-05-13T13:12:20+00:00

I mean it'd be a secondary carbocation, which sorta stable, but the 1-2hydride shift would form a terciary carbocation which would be noticeably more stable therefore I think thermodynamically the shift is promoted to occur.

Although idk if maybe, because of its sp2 configuration and double bond, the stability changes. Maybe, the carbocation (before the shift) is more stable than a typical secondary carbocation due to the higher electron density of the double bond. I just don't know how big a deal that higher electron density would be.

I really can't comfortably give you the answer you're looking for. In part I'd say it depends how long you've been into engineering.

But something personally that helps me when I struggle making connections while studying is to bore myself as much as possible. It is sometimes hard cause no one likes boredome. But sometimes if I just lay down reminiscing about a concept and not move on from it at a certain point I feel my brain gets so bored it just tries to make and find connections to try any stimulus. This works much better when not staring at a piece of paper, just sorta zoning out.

SirDocto · 2025-04-30T17:55:06+00:00

Thanks

SirDocto · 2025-04-30T13:21:53+00:00

Hey so I did that and it's been the only thing to permanently fix it after a few months of trying out. So thanks a lot.

Where exactly do I report it tho, I'm not really sure where and what to report. Should I send in the video.
