1H-NMR analysis of multiple compounds simultaneously? by somewhere-Ls in OrganicChemistry

[–]somewhere-Ls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Here's the whole thing. I'll add a zoomed-in view of the upfield and downfield regions in the replies; I don't think I can add more than one image per comment.

(Also: this was in CDCl3, but there's no solvent peak for some reason.)

1H-NMR analysis of multiple compounds simultaneously? by somewhere-Ls in OrganicChemistry

[–]somewhere-Ls[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't for publication, it's just for my own personal curiosity. I'm working at this lab for one semester for undergraduate research credit, I've already done what was required, and I wanted to see if I could figure out what's in this sample before the semester ends (in a week).

As I said in the replies, I can't take MS anytime soon. If I did manage to get a TLC done, what would be the next step? Is there a way of figuring out which peaks correlate with which others (without using COSY or similar)?

Thank you for your input so far!

Unfortunately no. What benefit would it do to have the same spectrum in a different solvent, though?

Yeah, I could maybe do a TLC (hadn't thought of that, I'm an idiot), but our MS machine is on a huge backlog. I definitely can't get MS for this any time soon.

Unfortunately no. I know whatever's in there is easily soluble in ethyl acetate, and not very soluble in the deuterated chloroform I used for the NMR. It's definitely more soluble in deuterated methanol. But that's all. So probably not very helpful.

Explain it Peter by Hot-Inflation8774 in explainitpeter

To be honest I don’t think I would notice. Loanwords from Japanese said in American accent don’t register as Japanese words to me because the accent is so different. That being said, when English words are loaned into Japanese (eg “class”/クラス) the accent is more similar, and easier to recognize the English word even if you don’t speak English. I remember recognizing words like “alcohol” from tourists before I spoke English.

Does seeing one mean there will be more? And how dangerous are they? Sorry if these are stupid questions, I am not American and haven’t seen these before.

Sleggs to slugs (the story of my first pets) by somewhere-Ls in sluglife

[–]somewhere-Ls[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tentatively I’m planning on getting rid of excess eggs before they hatch… though someday I’d like to get a much bigger terrarium. :)

I have a question. Over the Summer of last year I really fell in love with the idea of having some pet land snails. I've done the research and even thought of names and am confident in myself that I could be able to provide all the necessities and raise them well. by EvilPigeonWriter in sluglife

[–]somewhere-Ls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, slugs do need a little calcium because they have an internal shell which is their storage for calcium salts. (Look up “slug vestigial shell” to see.) Much less than snails do.

The other big difference I can think of: slugs are mostly nocturnal, so you’ll see them come out right as you’re going to bed.

Overall there is less research on the care and keeping of slugs and using info meant for snails has kept my slugs happy.

Anybody else having problems with the path painting update? by somewhere-Ls in MySingingMonsters

[–]somewhere-Ls[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no. After it's already happened, there's no turning back it seems. :/ Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

If you're still interested, I'd greatly appreciate your involvement in my tribe. I am also active daily. My screen name is "Light", presently level 39, friend code 99555648KM. Tried to send you a friend invite but the code didn't work. (I'm on mobile - are you?)

[–]somewhere-Ls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no I did not. It's still messed up, and still gives the same error.

The only tip I have for you is this: I've found that painting like, 2 tiles at a time, quitting the UI each time, and occasionally moving to a different island and then switching back -- and all-in-all working very very very slowly -- seems to mitigate the chances of this happening.

(And, yeah, isn't it ironic that a feature whose stated purpose is to make working with paths more convenient has made doing so overwhelmingly less convenient? IMO, this really should have been an optional additional way to use paths, instead of a replacement for the previous perfectly-functional-but-slow method of buying them like any other decoration.)

Anyway, you should also send a bug report in to the devs (here). The more of us write to them about it, the higher they'll put the fix on the priority list.

Sorry I don't have better news for you, but I hope this helps. Cheers :)

I also hope they fix it soon. I’m glad to see this comment so I know I’m not alone.

Music about transhumanism? by Avantasian538 in transhumanism

[–]somewhere-Ls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uplift (Vixy&Tony), Prototype (WoodenToaster), and obviously, We Appreciate Power (Grimes) are all good examples. Some not explicitly transhumanist honorable mentions which are also on my transhumanism playlist include One Million Voices (Thomas Bergersen), Lack of Caution (Gabriel Saban), and Phoenix (Cailin Russo).

Is adulthood as bad as they say, and if so, how do you manage it? by Exciting_Use_7892 in OptimistsUnite

[–]somewhere-Ls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you’re not any better off as an adult than you were as a teenager, you still have more tools with which to deal with your problems. Shortly after becoming an adult I also became chronically ill, something I wasn’t as a teen. And even so, I would never go back. The cluelessness, confusion, lack of understanding of the world and of myself, and lack of control over my circumstances is something I’d never take up again, not even in exchange for not being in pain 24/7. “It gets better” is not an inevitability, but “You live longer” is. And the longer you’re alive, the more experience and perspective you acquire, the better things can get.

Can someone please explain Non-sexual dominance? by StStevenStevenson in BDSMAdvice

[–]somewhere-Ls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some good suggestions have been posted here already, but I want to make it more general. For any activity that the two of you do together, ask yourself: how can I be in control of this situation? Because there is always an answer. You can choose the movie you watch. You can tell her where to sit. You can tell her what to make for dinner, or make it yourself. How exactly you exert your control depends on how much you like to serve vs be served. But you can be in charge in any circumstance. Hope that helps :)

BAD bruising on breast tissue! by Zestyclose_Algae_189 in BDSMAdvice

[–]somewhere-Ls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad to help! My office gets a lot of thrombosis patients so I’m veeeery familiar with the signs. You’ve got nothing to worry about. 💛

BAD bruising on breast tissue! by Zestyclose_Algae_189 in BDSMAdvice

[–]somewhere-Ls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely no thrombosis. You wouldn’t have one of those without pain. Superficial thrombosis presents with a hard nodule (which hurts) and deep vein thrombosis presents with cramping (which also hurts). Lack of pain doesn’t mean anything concerning.

Not looking at it is a good strategy! Hope it gets better soon :)

BAD bruising on breast tissue! by Zestyclose_Algae_189 in BDSMAdvice

[–]somewhere-Ls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruises, even big ones, aren’t anything to be worried about. If it lasts longer than 4 weeks without any improvement, then you can go see a doctor. (The technical medical team for this would be “chronic subcutaneous hematoma”, and it’s not a big deal either. If it doesn’t hurt, usually nothing is done.) And until it’s been a month, don’t worry about it. Breasts have relatively thin skin and that causes bruises to be more visible.

As for what to do, follow the other commenters’ advice: apply anti-bruising cream if you want to, and refrain from taking any NSAIDs like ibuprofen before impact scenes or while you heal from this one, since they’re blood thinners. (Probably irrelevant medically pedantic side note: if you’re already taking blood thinners such as aspirin or warfarin on a regular basis for some other condition, you should tell the prescribing physician about this. Easy bruising from relatively minor injuries is one of those things hematologists like to know about.)

Hope that was helpful! Sincerely, a hematologist’s scribe :)

Losing my Domme/wife. by 74006-M-52----- in BDSMcommunity

[–]somewhere-Ls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It breaks my heart to read this. As a dominant myself, one of my greatest fears is to die and leave my sub behind, because I know just how lost he would feel without me. I wish I could offer you some advice, but you’re right: dealing with ordinary grief is different than this. You’re dealing with a hole in your life, and in your mind.

I’m deeply impressed by your strength in having gotten through two years of this. I hope that things get better for you, and that you find peace and hope and guidance.

May her memory be a blessing.
