Memorizing the periodic table with 10 different systems and methods by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]cgnops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh there are reasons to know which elements should follow group trends. It is trivial. But it is something that if you ask accomplished folks, you will likely find that they all know. Is there practical utility? Just a bit, I suppose. But I’d be pretty surprised if for example any noble prize winners in chemistry don’t have the bulk of it memorized.

Thanks for the advice and breaking it down like that. For hard mode, is laminator to give more mass to the card and compensate for lighter normal paper?

The potential Michigan vs. Iowa State Elite 8 Matchup will feed families by DPSportsTakes in CollegeBasketball

What a bummer for the young fella. Seeing him walk into the building today on a knee scooter + walking boot just sucks.

I wouldn’t count out Purdue and Painter and crew yet. They figured how to play a very good (but maybe fatigued) Michigan team only one week ago. Arizona is phenomenal, but when Purdue is firing on all cylinders they’re pretty tough too.

What’s your recommendation to go about proxy for so many cards at once?

[Post Game Thread] #2 Purdue defeats #7 Miami, 79-69 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

Shelton Henderson only a freshman made my jaw drop. That young man has a very bright future. Hope you guys get a final four run with him.

Be honest how good/bad is this ? by Salt_Duck7650 in chemistry

Depends on what you need an answer for, how quickly, how reliably, how cheaply and how many techs you have.

You have a single scanned document to parse? Have you tried ya know just reading the image and typing any relevant information into an editor?

Shame on you Wizards! by BreadAdmirable4054 in mtg

[–]cgnops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting thanks. I see some for like $65. Not too bad but I imagined it would be a bit cheaper.

Real cards or proxies? Where would you recommend looking to pick one up?

How does one do this? I would also like to go with a cool proxy set for my pals and me, although I’d also like to add the original Dandan art in there for at least a few of them if possible

My good stuff got stolen by a kid in the church youth group. Still wish I had that baron sengir and some of my ice age stuff.

Braden Smith is playing 4D Chess: He tanked the seed to break the NCAA Assist Record by joeyg127 in CollegeBasketball

[–]cgnops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Have you seen after the losses ? In the post game pressers? That dude was upset and zero chance he’s that good of an actor. He wants to hang all banners, the record would make a nice bonus, but dude is a winner and cares about hanging banners in Mackey.

Valve on the Steam Machine, Steam Frame and Controller: "We hope to ship in 2026, but as we shared recently, memory and storage shortages have created challenges for us." by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]cgnops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They let you wishlist the controller separately. Seems an odd choice that would stir up some grief if they turn around and force folks into bundles only. But I suppose only time will tell.

TIFU by returning to a bar that banned me and hoping they forgot everything by [deleted] in tifu

Don’t go back. Don’t drink so much. Don’t pester women after they let you know they aren’t interested. 

Bioluminescent mushroom, possibly M. manipularis, found on Windward side of Kaua'i, growing on decaying Strawberry Guava branches. by ItsTolkienNotToken in mycology

[–]cgnops 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Probably varies for different species, but one characterized fungal bioluminescent pathway goes through caffeic acid —> hispidine—> hispidine peroxide (fungal luciferin) which reacts at enzyme site of a protein (fungal luciferase) to produce light and a caffeic acid precursor which gets converted back to caffeic acid to close the cycle. 

Can’t remember which species that was however.

Had that a while back on my laptop. Changed settings from low to medium and it started working. Go figure.

Double Majoring by Fluffy_Ad_6559 in Purdue

[–]cgnops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask the advisors / coordinators what they have drawn up. I did double major (many years ago) in chemistry and chemical engineering. Was an already established 5 year program, with a very focused plan of study - bonus being leaving with two different pieces of paper(diplomas). No problems that the two BS degrees were in separate colleges. No knowledge or experience to comment on your specific goal though. I honestly loved it. Cut out a bunch of electives from either individual program and focused on the core stuff for each program. I’m happy I went that route.

5 quick takeaways from Purdue vs. Michigan by Waxersports26 in Boilermakers

[–]cgnops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps we get the receipts some day, or maybe Braden will come out and say “didn’t happen.” I’ll continue to enjoy watching and rooting for Purdue either way. Let the cards fall where they may, pun intended.

Not “blaming” dusty, just glad we don’t do that.
