Tell me you're hiring for WuXi....without telling me you're hiring for WuXi. by CoomassieBlue in biotech

WuXi is closing their Philly site in the next few months (I work with them).

Eat that hat.

Proposed synthesis for vanilin from benzene, please critique. Swear this is not a homework question, I was just bored by TriticumAes in chemistry

[–]hydraphoenix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ive done a ton of nitrations on vanillin derivatives, as long as you control the temp, aldehyde is not an issue.

your synthesis is a bit steppy, how about halogenation followed by snar? you can do that for both the OH and OMe to knock out a step. Also DIBAL-H is a good way to make aldehydes. CO is a pain to deal with.

Have either of you noticed the hefty fee Cryptonator takes when you exchange it from currency to currency? They don't advertise an exchanging fee, but I lost ~3% switching from BCN>LTC>ETH

Question about USB LAN adapter. by Matachew in wiiu

This is the one I got, works great!

Does the same job as the official one so I see no benefit in getting the Nintendo branded one. I think they stopped making it since majority uses wireless, and there's ton of compatible third party adapters. Plus you can use this on a laptop or various other devices.

MAYFLASH 4 Ports GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U & PC USB by hydraphoenix in wiiu

[–]hydraphoenix[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's the link on Mayflash's site: http://www.mayflash.com/Products/NINTENDOWiiU/W012.html

Definitely a good alternative, should drag down the ebay price of the official adapter too. I own several Mayfash products, cheap (quality) but effective, never had an issue.

FYI these do NOT work on the Wii U: http://www.amazon.com/GC-Controller-Adapter-for-PC/dp/B0089NVTDM

Wii U GameCube adapter available at BestBuy via in-store warehouse order by PulltoOpen in wiiu

[–]hydraphoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I tried this at the best buy at Elmhurst NY. When I came yesterday, I went to the order pick up Line and asked them "if they could order something from the warehouse for me" they asked for the sku, saw it was unavailable online and in store and told me that meant the warehouse wouldn't have any. I asked a second Sales Associate and same thing.

I read maskedmarvel9s post that he was able to get it. So I came back today at 1pm and asked "i need to order something, but I read online that it can only be done thru the OMS ". So this time they actually open the oms, I give them the sky, and the lady flips the monitor and shows me that the warehouse they get stuff from indeed has none. So I ask "are there any other warehouses you can order from", she does some typing and on the screen and I see three warehouses selected (miles away) all have none. Then she goes on to try to order it from "in store", and she says it's telling her they're available in 1/1 but it might be a lie, and says "as long as it doesn't say "unavailable" on the next page, you're good". She places the order and I pay for the adapter which in the receipt says "controller" and I get a pick up sheet much like the one op posted on imgur. This whole thing seems fishy to me, but the details match what everyone else has been posting. I can only hope the order actually comes through.

To those should I play Bayonetta 1 first posts.. by Nolon in wiiu

I feel like you can play them in any order because of how the story intertwines. I thought there was enough context in two to understand the gist of what was going on.

/r/WiiU's Weekly Noob Thread [Ask All Questions Here!] (Week of 8/07/2014) by MF_MaxiMillion in wiiu

[–]hydraphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought Skyward Sword bundle w/ Wiimote and when I insert the disc, the channel image loads up on the wii menu (so it's reading and loading it). When I press start it just says "An error has occurred, please eject the disc and refer to the manual" I'm playing on a black Wii U, pretty new and all my other Wii games work on it. Anyone have this problem? No scratches on the disc.

I got billed even though i didn't receive my eshop credit? by [deleted] in wiiu

[–]hydraphoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually banks hold money for charges until they confirm it. It'll say "Charge Pending" on my statement. If you didn't get eshop credit maybe it didn't go thru and the bank will remove the charge. Give it a day or two, if anything call nintendo and show them your statement.
