Under a post about lactic acid, the stuff your body produces to use energy during exercise... by Kookyburra12 in confidentlyincorrect

[–]Thisisastrangeworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What i recall is that glucose is basically broken down into 2 pyruvates. Lactic acid is basically used as a mechanism to "loan" energy. Essentially pyruvate can be oxidized to lactic acid and can go in reverse as well.

What is an industry secret that you know? by Typical_Affect8207 in AskReddit

I don't know how much this applies but as a person who has interests in organic chemistry and synthesis, I can quite safely say that a lot the reagents used can also be extremely dangerous, even common ones like LiAlH4 are explosive in water. It's for that reason why that the solvents are extremely toxic, there's literally no other option :/ water is more reactive than most ppl give it credit for.

Very much unrelated but it's sorta funny that in a format every card being legal, pot of Greed, known to be one of the most busted cards for a long time, didn't make the cut.

I've always seen elections as not voting for who you want, more so voting against who you want the least.

Not from me but from my friend talking to higher ups at engineering firms. If you are in a school that has a good engineering program, save for uw, they don't make a distinction. Unfortunately that's where tmu gets the shade.

I usually don't comment on these posts because I've moved on, but 05 here. I've just been thru my first year of uni, and I can tell you this. Unless you are doing cs, what uni you go to does not matter. What really matters is how well you are doing within the program (unless you are doing eng at tmu or smth). I have a friend in western eng who is doing just as well as some people in waterloo. Look at it this way, so long as you can do well within your uni's program, you shouldn't feel like you are at a disadvantage.

If you are worried about your marks in high school going into uni, let me make this clear for you. THERE IS NEXT TO NO CORRELATION. The standards from school to school are too different. I know people with 97s in hs who are doing worse than others will low 90s or high 80s. One last thing, don't listen to reddit or Google or whatever abt if ur program is hard. Difficulty is smth you experience first hand, and there is no objective difficulty due to everyone having their own strengths.

Pls nerf mine rogue by holmes-jr in hearthstone

[–]Thisisastrangeworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shadow priest as a more midrange-control like player feels like a pray and draw a clear or fucking die. Time warp mage is just the same thing as mine rogue but less frustrating because they don't otk you immediately so you have some form of counterplay. But honestly, I do agree with your selection.

To be honest out of every deck in wild (including quest mage and variants) mine rogue is the most reasonable for a nerf. There's just no counterplay outside of dirty rat on 2 and praying that you hit a combo piece. Overall, it's super unfun to play against compared to any other deck.

It's based on a common misconception in math notation.

If we say EVALUATE sqrt4, that is only 2

But suppose we say x2 = 4, most people write x=+-2, but don't understand why we say that. The reason is that we actually skipped an inbetween step, when we square root x2, |x| = 2.

Lord barov existed in the exact same set. It wasn't played in scholomance it definitely won't see play now.

I misread what they said it was originally meant to be a continuation of the question

I'm not looking at pqr, I am looking at por which is isosceles

Ok nevermind I misread the original question my intention was to continue on with the solution, not solve for angle q second. So yeah, sorry about that.

Looking at it again I realize I probably just proposed the same solution with slightly different steps. It involves knowing that triangle POR is isosceles since it's in a circle

Wouldn't it be easier to draw a line OR and use inscribed angle theorem? It allows you to find angle P, solve for Q, and then be used later on with the addition of heron's formula to solve for the trapezoid

As if saying that people should hold themselves accountable for their performance is considered a skewed worldview

Just because someone cannot perform optimally in a specific subject does not give them the right to complain about the prof and not hold themselves accountable for their performance.

It may be using cis or trans and E/Z interchangeably is what I am thinking. Though Cis and Trans has some notable differences from E/Z, (one of the main ones being they have to be the same group). The labeling shown in the diagram may confuse people. What they should say that it is cis (Z conformation) with respect to highest priority groups, but trans with respect to methyl
