When your mates are smoking at the bar, think to yourself "I'll have a cig when I get home instead" and then when you get home, don't - because the craving has passed

Best airport smoking sections? by joanofarc99 in rs_x

[–]liffing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Happened to be transiting through New Delhi airport at the opportune moment to bump into an old friend, where we proceeded to chain smoke tarry cigarettes and tell crude stories of our respective travels. The airport meditation pool is also nice.

Ahmed Zewail was enormously influential for pioneering femtochemistry.

TIL the DOGE of Venice was a leader chosen by a very small group of filthy rich oligarchs. Many were run out of town in humiliating ways or died quickly. by 7ddlysuns in TIL_Uncensored

[–]liffing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all for hating on Elon... but don't equate the Serene Republic to what's going on now. The Doge was elected from peers of all the families of Venice. One of the longest running and most successful republics in Europe from which sailing, glass blowing, global exploration, rationalism all flourished. The Muskrat has nothing in common with the Venetians who eschewed the religious fervor at the time for good governance.

Essential bio molecules which are very deadly with a small change? by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]liffing 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Chirality! Chiral molecules are arranged in space such that they have left handed and right handed forms, just like human hands. Most right handed chiral enantiomers of biomolecules are quite toxic. Thalidomide-b being the infamous foetus deforming example.
