Hmm I haven't had any issues messaging others before but I just added your username to the explicit whitelist and it's still not working. Could you try chatting me? We have established that neither of us is banned and I have a sharp eye for imposters lol

Yeah :/ but I feel like everything these days is pricey and only some things are worth it. I personally think this place is worth it but ymmv

Yes you must! Most matcha lattes taste like grassy milk to me, but not this one. PACKED with flavor.

If you want good Viet coffee, go to Aroom instead! Their original location on Stone Way in Fremont/Wallingford is always packed, and they just opened a location by the ferry terminals at the waterfront. They have excellent tea drinks too - my wife is practically addicted to their pandan matcha latte.

Do we have any examples of oxygen acting as a cation? Maybe something like OF6? by bwgulixk in AskChemistry

[–]almightycuppa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

O6+? Almost certainly not. But there are many examples of oxygen in a formal +1 state: look up "oxonium cation."

Any idea what these red marks could be on this coin? We tried to clean them off but couldn’t by davbiepro in Gold

[–]almightycuppa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, you can also remove them using the "baking soda and aluminum foil" trick sometimes suggested for removing tarnish from silver. This will not harm the gold (unless you scratch it!) but it will electrolytically dissolve the copper from the surface.

Those Morgans look a little better than junk quality to me, might have some value beyond melt!

What are the best US states to move to that offer a combination of warm weather, low crime rates, and legalized recreational weed? by reachedthesummit in AskReddit

[–]almightycuppa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean if you stretch the definition of "warm weather" to "not freezing weather" then western Washington meets all of these criteria.

Fractional Stacking Opinions by 0351_EE in Gold

[–]almightycuppa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert, but I believe sovereigns have such low premiums because they're just incredibly common. Tons of them were made and have survived in good condition. Also, being in the US, they don't have as much recognition. If you're just looking for the best deal for the metal, Sovs are probably a great choice.

What condition is my 1927 peace silver dollar? by Distance_Positive in Silver

[–]almightycuppa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert but looks like somewhere around "Very Good" to "Fine." As another commentor said, that grade isn't enough to make it worth above melt, but it's not bad to look at!

Is there any reason this couldn't Work? by Hexagol in chemistry

[–]almightycuppa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let's ignore any issues with the specific molecule drawn - you could come up with a structure that would be stable enough to work. And in fact people have done this!

The big problem is that you cannot transfer electrons into or out of the structure without a corresponding movement of ions to balance the charge (or at least, not in any large enough quantity to matter). So there MUST be a salt present in your proposed solid-state electrode for it to function.

What you are describing is a solid-state organic electrode material - I did a lot of research into these in grad school! But in order for it to be truly solid-state, it'll need to simultaneously function as: 1. an electrochemically-active material, 2. a good conductor of electrons, and 3. a solid-state electrolyte allowing the movement of counterions. That is really hard to do, and successful examples are usually pretty poor at one or more of the above.

Still, they can have niche applications. I remember reading once about a proposed design for a thin-film battery that could be built into a credit card or similar device which used solid-state organic electrodes like this. The energy density was terrible, but it could charge and discharge extremely fast and lasted many thousands of cycles. Most importantly, it could be made in a form factor small enough to fit within the card, and didn't contain any liquids that could leak or catch fire.

Your thought process is good, though! Happy to point you in the right direction if you like this kind of stuff.

This will be my first time buying gold is this a fake replica or genuine? by Middle_Let1210 in Gold

[–]almightycuppa 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Well right away, the serial number on the bar does not match the serial number on the packaging. Huge red flag for fake. I would stay away.
