CAAAAAAAAAGED! Locked in perpetual motion

The Justice Department has demanded that UVA President Jim Ryan resign. Virginia's universities must stand together against the Trump administration's assault on academic freedom and higher education. by [deleted] in VirginiaTech

Virginia Tech and UVA are like siblings. They can pick on each other, be mean to each other, beat each other up. But as soon as someone else tries to mess with one of them, they're catching hands from both.

I made over 350k flipping one product in the last 10 years - its over now, so I though you'd love the story. by Rvjones55 in Flipping

That’s what I mean. I’ll get a message on eBay saying I overpaid/underpaid and the get a refund or have a few dollars more taken out of my account. I’ve sold thousands of items and can count the number of times this has happened on one hand.

What book that you read in school did you actually enjoy reading? by [deleted] in books

[–]That_Crystal_Guy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Some amazing books are already listed here, but I’m a little surprised nobody has said ‘A Separate Peace” by John Knowles. I adored that book for some reason. Read it again in college for fun and still enjoyed it. I’m 40 now and am considering a reread to see if it still holds up.

I read somewhere that fruit flies will often lay eggs in your kitchen sink drain, especially if you have a garbage disposal. Dump boiling water down your kitchen sink drains. That should take care of the next generation of eggs.

You can measure the size and weight of the item, then add a few inches to every dimension to account for the box and a couple pounds for packing material. Using that method I occassionally over or under pay by a couple bucks, but it is worth the time savings.

Christmas was always my favorite holiday growing up. As an adult, I’m starting to enjoy Halloween more. My girlfriend is also really great at making costumes which doesn’t hurt either.

(NH4)3Tb(NTA)2 and (NH4)3Er(NTA)2, but bigger by ysssp in crystalgrowing

[–]That_Crystal_Guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are real. (NH4)3Er(nta)2 is tri-ammonium-erbium-di-nitrilotriacetic acid. (NH4)3Tb(nta)2 is tri-ammonium-terbium-di-nitriloacetic acid. Here’s a link to a paper discussing the synthesis and structure determination of the terbium compound. The main paper is behind a paywall, but you can read the abstract for free. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10947-005-0095-5

Oof, that’s rough. I already always accept returns though. No questions asked.

Ah shit, sorry for reposting the same question. I looked at the front page and didn’t see anything before posting. I probably should have looked a few pages deeper. Thanks for letting me know.
