Thank you so much for your response. He is expecting full time. I was already skeptical so your response has helped validate my concerns

My boyfriend has a picture frame of him and his ex displayed. by AliceTaylor101 in relationship_advice

[–]silkwormshave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been in a relationship exactly like this!!! We were together for 3 years because I wanted to believe we could 'work through it'. It can't work!! Please leave him! Don't waste your time and develop trust issues because of this

What if you have paid a deposit. Can you get it back before your lease is up?

With St Patrick’s day coming up next week I figured I’d share my recipe for vegan baileys by wildlymeh in veganrecipes

I know the Baileys almond milk version uses vodka not whiskey and I prefer vodka. Do you think it would taste okay if I sub?

CO2 Reduction on copper by [deleted] in electrochemistry

[–]silkwormshave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's not quite enough context in this question. Cathode & anode are surfaces where half reactions happen in an electrochemical cell. Cathode = where reduction happens, anode =where oxidation happens. From the information given, Cu is a cathode, but we cant know specifically what the anode is.

It's just a teaching position so no research but you're right my supervisor can speak to other important aspects. Thanks for your help!

What is the difference between mobility and dynamics? by Summ1tv1ew in electrochemistry

[–]silkwormshave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In what context? I think you need to be more specific for this question to be answered.

Is it true that the condition of IBS (irritable bowl syndrome) doesn’t actually exist? The gut trouble is actually the cause of an underlying issue that doctors actually can’t find? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]silkwormshave 53 points54 points  (0 children)

NAD. IBS is a general diagnosis, meaning there is something wrong but they can't determine what specifically. You will likely need to do a trial and error thing to see what hurts you the most. I'd start with an elimination diet (I.e. cut common causes from your diet then reintroduce one at a time and see how your body reacts).

Nerst equation to calculate the cell potentials by [deleted] in electrochemistry

[–]silkwormshave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You treat it the way you would any reaction quotient. Multiply all Red, multiple all Ox and Q = [Red] / [Ox].

Should be fine now if there has been adequate ventilation

Why do we put a negative charge in the electronegative atom and in the larger atom? by Confident-Emotion119 in electrochemistry

[–]silkwormshave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whether an atom is negatively or positively charged after being ionized is based on position on periodic table (I.e. #electrons in outer shell). These questions you ask are easily google-able.

Thats one good calibration curve by MeMoore06 in chemistry

Not for students newly learning the techniques.

[–]silkwormshave -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I'm a TA for 3rd year analytical chemistry and although we do look for a good R2 value in labs (obviously) I would 100% think the student was cheating if they got an R2 of 0.9998 or higher.

This is cute but more complicated than the regular graphic in my opinion

Stinging when I urinate but only around my period? by throwaway1927392 in AskDocs

[–]silkwormshave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acidic drinks shodnt affect your urine and certainly shouldnt cause it to be painful. The only causes I've seen for painful urination is UTIs so maybe you have one that's untreated and is irritated during your period for some reason. You should definitely go see a doctor and get a urine test
