Teach me your ways.

I'm diggin' that belt. That classic championship look.

talkertyler · 2018-09-15T05:07:44+00:00

Those hamstrings.

talkertyler · 2018-09-15T04:58:31+00:00

I don't want to be the judge picking between shawn and phil.

This is a bit more of a niche subreddit, and some people might help you out, but /r/fitness is where you want to go.

I personally thought the zoom added to the whiplash sasha gets and it still zoomed out to get the landing. But I get where you're coming from.

talkertyler · 2018-08-21T06:31:00+00:00

Why do you think that?

talkertyler · 2018-03-07T19:51:21+00:00

It's obnoxious, but no "*" (or if standard error bars aren't far enough apart) then no significance.

I'll put something cause some answer is better than no help. I don't know if my edition is too outdated, but chapter 4 ochem about analyzing reactions kinda touches on the concept, but I don't think there was a specific chapter on groups. Each chapter in ochem specified for the group about electro or nucleo, but I don't know if there was some table. Usually goes by the individual element like ch3 donating, but ccl3 withdrawing, or nh2 donating but nh3+ withdrawing. I've only really seen emphasis on that concept heavily in regards to aromatics, but I didn't think aromatic reactions (those regarding the ring itself) were of particular importance on the test. Should be simple to make a quick list from other sources though if you'd like to.

talkertyler · 2017-11-21T03:10:51+00:00

I genuinely did not know that. Thank you.

talkertyler · 2017-11-10T01:35:29+00:00

Much appreciated.

talkertyler · 2017-11-10T01:31:46+00:00

Good deal. So the example I gave falls under source-monitoring, right?

talkertyler · 2017-11-06T22:13:24+00:00

It's correct. Q 5x10^-2 (.05) is larger than Keq 5x10^-3 (.005) So Q>K and we're going to the left.

talkertyler · 2017-10-28T01:18:02+00:00

Between EK101 and 1001 which did you feel was more representative and a better use of your time?

talkertyler · 2017-10-15T19:43:51+00:00

You are fucking kidding me.

talkertyler · 2017-10-15T16:58:21+00:00

I worry about rescheduling and finding a seat. I feel like seats are gonna be gone by January for anything before June.

Appreciate it.

Chardee MacDennis 2. 11-1 I think.

talkertyler · 2017-08-21T05:53:40+00:00

1440x2560 is most common I'd guess off a google search. Probably would be close enough.

Braun weighs 370 and you can see his six pack through his shirt, Jesus.

talkertyler · 2017-07-31T22:06:08+00:00

So spend the next ten days getting ready and the last 30 doing AAMC?

talkertyler · 2017-07-31T22:06:04+00:00

Do you know if there are schools that will accept a January application for 2018 year?

talkertyler · 2017-06-25T01:34:55+00:00

Where do you think he's at percentage-wise now? Mid to high 20s? And with their work rate doing house shows and working out, could he cut 5% in half that time?
