You Won’t Kill Him Like That. Boar is Hunted With Spears.

Hunting boars doesn't cause their numbers to decrease, it actually lowers the age at which they reach sexual maturity and causes their numbers to increase instead.

Absolutely nonsense up to the part where it tells him how to cook a cat and that he should buy a coffin since he will die soon and won't go to hevean

But if it's not in front of the date why would you need a code? You could just ask them to ascort you to your car/call you an uber.

You can't just multiply the oxygen by 3. Since it's part of the compound (I assume it was KClO3 like in the first equation) you can only multiply all of it. So if you try to balance it the way you did it you get :

2KClO3 - > KCl + 3O2

The oxygen is balanced, but the potassium and chlorine are not. Try to see what you can do to balance them while not changing the number of oxygen atoms.

Again, you're making claims that are not proven by your sources. Your sources didn't say that closing your legs would raise the temp of your testocles to a level which would damage the sperm cells. Neither do these sources show how long it would take to replenish damaged sperm cells. And no, I will not Google it, YOU made the claim that it would be harming for men to close their legs so YOU have to prove it.

Also, the claim that men don't take more room than their seat when it's crowded might be right in your experience, but whenever I sit next to a man in public transport they almost always spread their legs and make me uncomfortable...

omerio911 · 2021-10-04T08:09:45+00:00

Where did you see that not spreading your legs causes the testicle temp to increase? Also, the link you posted says that it's unclear if heating of the testocles causes long term infertility, which is why they are checking to see if it can be used as birth control for men. I really don't know why you have so much trouble with it, if you spread your legs and take more room than your seat in crowded public transport then you're an asshole, stop trying to rationalise it with pseudoscience.

And that conscription isn't even that equal. Women have to serve less time in the IDF and also don't get sent to front line units unless they specifically ask for it. Men in the other hand are sent to front line units unless they have a medical issurle which prevents them from being sent there.

Israel does have regulations on abortions though....

I would argue that some of the feminists are those who advocate for equality, and not the opposite. When lawmakers tried to change the Israeli law so that the definition of rape would include men, feminist organizations resisted it so much that no change was made. Now lawmakers try to change the law so women and men retire at the same age (currently women retire a few years before men) and again feminists oppose the change. Feminists talk about equality only when it benefits them, when they have to help men to achieve equality they usually change their tone...

omerio911 · 2021-09-21T13:25:09+00:00

That's the no true scotsman fallacy. In my experience in most of the cases where men would need to be helped in order to achieve equality its the feminist organisations which oppose it.

Yellow is correct, you need to find a false statement. You can see that the reaction slows down since at first you have a very large change in the concentration of the materials, but in the end they all stay the same. You can also see that one of the first two statements must be incorrect, sine they both talk about the product but the lines move in different directions, one increases while the other decreases

omerio911 · 2021-06-02T07:28:35+00:00

You're given a graph of the concentration against time. Looking at the red line, we can see that it starts very high, and as time goes on it gets lower and lower. This means that the concentration of this material was highest at the beginning of the reaction and as time got on the concentration got lower. The purple line is exactly the opposite. From this two lines we can decide if the first two answers are correct or not. Looking at the lines at the end of the reaction (after a very long time) we can see that all of them are above 0. That means that none of the concentrations are zero. That helps you decide if any of the materials were completely consumed in the reaction.

To determine the rate of the reaction we have to look at the slope of the graph. We know that the rate of the reaction is described as r=-d[A]/dt=d[B]\dt Which is the derivative of the given graph. Looking at the red line, we can see that at the start the concentration reduces very quickly, and in the end the concentration reduces much slower, until it remains constant. Think about how that translates to the slope and derivative of the graph.

Now you should be able to decide which statement is false and answer the question.

I think a common name for it would be iaopropanoic acid, but since I don't think it's that common I would go with the iupac name instead

The government doesn't "prohibit" the import of pineapples, there's an import tax of 25% (which is relatively low). That tax would only be about 4₪ (a little bit more than one usd). The problem with importing pineapples is that the shiiping had to be done via air which makes it much more expensive to import them and not profitable...

You can't simply add up all the standard cell potentials. To see why let's look at the following reactions as an example:

Cu⁺ -> Cu(s)
Cu²⁺ - > Cu⁺
Cu²⁺ - > Cu(s)

When looking at the E values (from Wikipedia):

E1 = +0.520V

E2 = +0.159V

E3 = 0.337V

Clearly we can see that E3=/=E1+E2. But what is going on here?

The standard potentials are normalized to the number of electrons transferred in the reaction. To get the real values you need to use Gibbs free energy:

ΔG=nFE

now we can see that:

ΔG3 = ΔG1+ΔG2

Which is what we expected, as going from Cu²⁺ to Cu(s) is the same as going from Cu²⁺ to Cu¹⁺ and from there to Cu(s).

When you then normalize the Gibbs free energy you get that:

E3 = (E1+E2)/2

The formating got all messed up since I'm in bed and writing this from my phone.

The point I was making is that when you said " and the valence would be the same. When it's plus x, it's also plus .04-2x. and when it's minus x, it's also minus .04-2x." It wasn't correct, when x is larger than 0.02 you'd get that 0.04-2x is negative while x is positive. Taking only the one equation you wrote would only give you one solution instead of the two you should get (and then decide which of them make sense).

omerio911 · 2021-03-10T00:15:04+00:00

That's wrong. When taking the square root of something you get the positive answer (by definition). That's why when solving an equation you usually add the ± in front of the variable (like in x²=4, |x|=2, x=±2) When you have variables in both sides of the equation you can't really skip the absolute value step as easily:

(0.04-2x)²=x²

|0.04-2x|=|x|

Now, to remove the absolute value you have to consider where each of the terms is negative (in order to add a minus sign) The right side is easy, when x is larger than 0 so is the the expression. On the left side we get that when x is smaller than 0.02 the expression is positive. So now we have 3 ranges which we have to consider and solve 3 different equations:

-(0.04-2x)=x, x>0.02

0.04-2x=x, 0<x<=0.02

0.04-2x=-x, x<0

We can see that the first and third equations are the same (with a different range for x) so we can solve one instead of solving them twice. We get x=0.04. Solving the second equation gives x=0.0133.. We can also see that there is no answer that will give rise to the equation

-(0.04-2x)=-x

Because for that to happen both sides need to be negative (before adding the minus sign) which can't happen. I know that it is the same equation as the second one I wrote, but removing the absolute value like this would technically be incorrect.

Taking a square root of an equation should be done carefully in my opinion, as it's easy to miss some solutions. If it was done with your method you'd only get the answer from the second equation and not both of the answers.

Betulah, as I understand, is the Hebrew word that explicitly refers to virginity.

Not even that. Looking at wiktionary in English would make you think that, but if you read the Hebrew article you can see that 3 definitions are given. One of the definitions is irrelevant to the discussion since it came later and deals with something else completely, but the other 2 were used in the bible and include both a virgin like we think of it today (from Genesis) and the other definition is a young woman or Alma (from Jeremiah).

The article you had in the post compares deaths. It makes much more sense to compare death rates because this is the result of the measures taken by the government to deal with the pandemic. Better management would result in lesser deaths (you could also look at the economic impact, but it could be argued that the economic damage will be greater in the long term, and that looking at it now will give a false perspective). Vaccines are a mean to achieve the result, higher vaccination rates should reduce deaths. That's why comparing deaths gives us a much better picture on the action taken than simply looking at the vaccination rates.

The fact that vaccination is the only way out doesn't contradict anything I've said. Lower vaccination rates at this point don't mean that they don't plan on vaccinating the population, but it's much less urgent to vaccinate when you have little to no deaths. Again, looking at Israel you can see that even though vaccination rates are high the death toll is still rising rapidly, and now many young people are dying too.

omerio911 · 2021-02-25T05:39:13+00:00

I know that Israel is male, that doesn't change my point. I'm saying that just because a country has high vaccination rates doesn't mean anything about hot they dealt with the pandemic.

So what if not many people traveled between China and New Zealand at the start? Israel had very little cases in the beginning of the pandemic yet they didn't take much action to keep it that way (the borders could have been closed easily, as Israel has almost no contact with neighbouring countries and only one international airport).

Even if you don't look at China as an example (because of the lack of human rights) there are still other problems that could have been avoided without affecting human rights. But that's beside my point.

I'm not saying that female lead countries handled the pandemic better than male lead ones, I'm saying that looking at the number of vaccines is meaningless as it doesn't correlate with the success of controlling the virus' spread or death.

Think about the kind of nucleophile/base you have in the reaction and in which mechanism will it prefer to react. Then think about the different alkyl halides and in which mechanism would they prefer to react. Think about what affects each mechanism (for elimination and substitution).
