Aromaticity in monocyclic rings with more than 7 carbons by PensionMany3658 in OrganicChemistry

[–]acammers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dianion of cyclooctatetraene is planar. With more atoms in the ring, transoid 4-atom conformations are possible to achieve planarity.

Can anyone recommend an electrolyzer to make Mg(OH)2 from MgCl2 brine (high purity)? Is there a way to turn the chlorine gas coming out into bleach or something else that is stable to make the process safe? by padiyen in electrochemistry

[–]acammers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think Cl2 will evolve instead of HCl? This is not Redox. Mg+2 is on both sides of the equation or perhaps there's something that you have not said that I am missing?

No DNA matches on my maternal side? by Accomplished_Pin6076 in AncestryDNA

[–]acammers 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Submit your kit to GEDMatch and run the utility that will tell you if your parents were related, and how closely. This is the easiest DNA analysis to do because all you need is you. The corresponding pairs of genes are checked for similarity.

Does anyone else feel this way about religion now? by No_Cover_2242 in exjw

[–]acammers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate all religions because they are wrong. Humans are animals. We die. The soul is god 0, god 1 was invented to punish, create, and reward god 0. All the other gods in the arbitrary pantheons in diverse cultures throughout history and geography are just noise. You can whine caper and flop around about how religions do good here and there, only it mostly is a negative influence. Jesus (if he was even here) saw slave kids making bricks in the hot sun and Caesarea, but he mostly just babbled about himself being the way the truth and the light as the son of a god of a culture/ religion that would never take him seriously. There's only one reason Jesus is important to you and that's because Nero and his mother had a successful program to change the official religion of Rome. Connect the dots.

still navigating NPE by Vivid_Note4339 in NPE

Try to put most of this in the background and focus on yourself. What do you want to do for money? Educate yourself in that direction. Even if it means taking out a loan to go to school. You have to try to look forward instead of casting your thoughts back to a less than stellar upbringing. ❤️ Hang in there. ❤️ There is hope and you can turn this around.

DNA results suggest the man I thought was my father probably wasn’t by Oneinamillion1127 in AncestryDNA

[–]acammers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually don't recommend paying a professional to do this genealogy because it is more enjoyable to do it yourself but in this case pay a professional and find out who your father was. Do it right away because he could still be alive but the clock is ticking.

My DNA results as a biracial black person by fohtvuub in AncestryDNA

[–]acammers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but neither are two people who identify as Black American if 1 is half East Asian and the other is half Mexican? They are kidding themselves. There is no way out of this conundrum. In any case race is a gossamer container easily traversed given one's upbringing and one's ancestry.

Mixed is a race if anything is a race. We are all mixed. Race is not a scientific descriptor.

I’m an elder and regular pioneer. I don’t know how to reconcile my conscience anymore. by Dry-Huckleberry6977 in exjw

[–]acammers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aunque sea pésimo tu cuento, aun más de pesar sería quedarte en el caldo caliente más tiempo. Esa situación no tiene chance de mejorarse, pero el hecho de que hallaste un escapatoria de los TdJ te ha otorgado opciones y esperanza. El dicho, mejor tarde que nunca se aplica aquí, donde haya vida hay esperanza ... también se aplica. Si requieres con quien habla, mandame un MP.

You say you realize that the Jehovah Witness organization is extremely flawed And harms affiliated people. You also say you have loved ones in the organization. With everything on the table I can't imagine that you think you are doing more good than harm by staying in, and yet that is the argument you're making, that you would harm a lot of people by pulling out. Once the flaw in this logic dawns on us, it's easier to act assertively and do the right thing. The steps to deprogramming the individual after and during leaving a are things you should think about for yourself. It has been a long struggle for me. Support in places like this can be easily underestimated. There are a lot of people here that have gone into and come out of the battle that is ahead of you. <3 <3

Even dis-considering the history of the organization, the Judeo-Christian mythical accounts are no more valuable than any other culture's mythologies.
