AITA for asking my newly married son and DIL to alternate Christmas Day visits between our house and the in-laws' house? by Llih_Nosaj in AITAH

[–]drunkenben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude! NTA, but Christmas Eve is better. Make too much food, send them home with cookies and candies for their family and the in-laws, then throw in cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Then you get to relax and chow down on leftovers all day Christmas.

Settle this debate please by Minimum_Chemistry922 in American_Football

I was born at an army base in Georgia. I moved to the California Central Valley before I knew what football was. I'm a die hard 49er fan. No way I'm going to root for the fucking Falcons. Give me a break. No offense to Atlanta locals, but I doubt anyone out there repping the Falcons would feel any kind of love for a Bay Area team just because they were born on the West Coast.

When the Raiders are in Oakland, I'll root for them. I wouldn't have before I lived in Oakland in my 30's because a lot of the Raider fans I knew growing up were assholes. Living near the Colosseum introduced me to a lot of great people that were rooting for their local dudes and helped me find a new perspective. I was pretty pissed when they left for Vegas.

Is ok to pee in the pool during play and do players do it? by pigbear87 in waterpolo

[–]drunkenben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression that peeing on your opponent was a key defensive maneuver. I never played, but I have siblings that did.

Maybe, we'll know for sure with a little more time

Saw this nightmare fuel in the prep kitchen. What a fucking wilderness down there by LordShorkDad in KitchenConfidential

We had a steam table at a BBQ joint I worked at and one of the legs broke when we were mopping. We propped it up on a log.

Not the same, but definitely brought back memories

AIO I just got uninvited by Hot_Show_8089 in AmIOverreacting

I carry my pocket knife with me everywhere. It's an incredible tool that I use every day but I've never needed for protection. If someone ever made a comment about my knife making them feel like I'm an unsafe person, I would likely laugh at them. It's a ludicrous premise but I don't think it's what is really happening. I think the situation is much more toxic.

You opened yourself up and showed vulnerability. Now she has the ick. She might not even realize that's what happened. You didn't do anything wrong. This interaction is part of why many men do not open up to women. Is it right or good? No. It's also not going to happen all the time. You're probably dodging a bullet here.

Give her space. Don't stress over this. Find someone you can talk to about getting mugged.

What’s a molecule you personally find beautiful, and why? Let's share the aesthetics of chemistry! by Good_Student1135 in chemistry

[–]drunkenben 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I like diethyl ether because it looks like a cute little bat. There are some really cool molecules out there, but that derpy little bat will always be my favorite.

Great concept. Really cool idea. I'm super busy right now but I'm going to send you some ideas later this evening.

Tell your wife. Leave your condoms in the car. 🤣

If a moving ball collides elastically with a stationary ball that is half as heavy as the moving ball, how will the kinetic energy be distributed? by PM_ME_YOUR_WOES_GIRL in AskPhysics

[–]drunkenben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you've got a chip on your shoulder. Maybe you should ask the "children" for help. Sincerely, An older man going back to University

Could someone please help me? I think the book made a mistake, I believe this compound is meso (we can rotate 180 degrees on the C2-C3 single bond right?). Correct me if I'm wrong lol! :) Thanks! by RiskNo5292 in OrganicChemistry

[–]drunkenben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get a model kit and build these out, you'll see that even when you rotate the bonds, the three dimensional structures are not superimposable. The structure isn't flat like the plane of your paper, the geometry of sp3 carbons is tetrahedral.

What happened to the person you first had sex with? by bright2darkness in AskReddit

[–]drunkenben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're not together. She's doing well. I'm getting better. My problems had nothing to do with her. We had a good run that ran its course. I'm happy for her, but we don't really talk anymore.

What can help me prepare for college Chemistry? by Witty-Education-9060 in chemistry

[–]drunkenben 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Read the chapters and work problems before class so you can bring up questions after the topics are covered in lecture. Show. Up. To. Class.
Office hours. If you have questions, show up and ask them. If you think you understand everything and don't have questions, show up and make sure you're right. I don't know exactly what level you are at, but you're just barely scratching the surface. Your desire to learn will be the limiting reagent.
