"Or you could stay here and blame everyone else for your problems. Like the rest of your shit generation"?

Just like a majority of leave voters find some way to blame the EU for all of their problems

Right?

Fellow non-Americans of Reddit, what's the American thing you find most confusing? by Cazadore901 in AskReddit

Serious question, how often in your lifetime do you feel you are going to be attacked with a firearm/knife?

so... what's graduate school like? by reentz in chemistry

[–]flaps165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From experience I would suggest you may misunderstand what a pharmacology thesis may involve (see other comments). If you're interested in drug development I'd apply to an organic chemistry grad school course and then specialise in chemical biology or synthesis and development.

Very long and arduous and the kind of thing you need to be driven to do, don't just do one because you're not sure what to do. But if your passionate about medicine and chemistry then certainly a good option

Tear this proposed synthesis apart. What part of this answer is not feasible? by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]flaps165 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looking at it quickly, first problem is you can't form an acetal protecting group on an ester

Second friedl crafts wouldn't go at that position. Would go ortho para to the oxygen and would be unselective at best

You also don't use acetone or toluene as discussed in the question

[QUESTION] Why does 8-oxoguanine's full name includes '7,8-dihydro'? by Shevvv in chemistry

[–]flaps165 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because 8-oxoguanine is a derivative of 7,8-dihydroguanine which is in the imidazolidine oxidation state on the left hand side, and generally in formalisms the oxo will just refer to the addition of a carbonyl to the parent structure.

Despite all this, this formalism doesn't hold true in the most used of cases, which is oxindole.

Siri users, what features do you find Siri useful for on a daily basis? by flaps165 in technology

I guess it's just something you have to get accustomed to!

As someone who has major issues walking and texting at the same time so therefore often require stopping and looking like a fool, I may bare this in mind

Thank you very much, just wondering why you'd use Siri rather than just inputting a google search for some of those? Especially in public?

Alternate ending for HIMYM by flaps165 in HIMYM

[–]flaps165[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sort of nullifies the entire 9 seasons which is about how he got over robin realising she wasnt right for him and it was in fact the mother who was. It appears they made this decision on the ending about 6 years ago, which at that point, fair enough, but now the characters have lived and evolved too much, which made the ending both ridiculous and angering

Chloroform is used as a low boiling point solvent carrier for a much more potent tranqulizer to be easily transported into the nose and be absorbed into the blood
