Two corrections: Braker -> Bruker (one of the only NMR vendors still around today), δrms -> δTMS (TMS = tetramethylsilane, a common reference for proton chemical shifts)
Edit: I suspect that 1L coupling constants is actually 1J coupling constants despite the proximity of the superscript to the stem; 1J referring to the coupling frequency of a 13C nucleus with a proton 1 bond away. I am wincing at the lack of 13C{1H} decoupling lol I bet the spectra are even less legible in their original form than this text is in the current form.
Maybe a dumb question, but if all of the vehicle's bells and whistles are meticulously recording my every move... how do those data get back to the auto manufacturer anyhow? I read the article and the "how that works" link, and sure it mentioned phone connectivity, but if I don't connect my phone, then my car presumably has no way to communicate what it collects... or are there a bunch of extra radios that phone home (satellite, cellular...)?
It's actually because "per" is used to denote the maximum "proportion" of an element. Compare "oxide", which is just one oxygen. "per-" is also used in chemistry in the sense of the Latin prefix "per-", which attaches to adjectives and verbs and such to convey the sense of "very" or "all the way". For example, sometimes we refer to molecules as being "perdeuterated" when all hydrogen atoms have been replaced with the heavy isotope deuterium.
Pfff U(IV)? More like U's a little bitch that can't add that weeny little O-O single bond. The only oxyuranium species worthy of entering my body are stripped of all valence electrons. Good ol peruranic acid, U(O)2(OH)2, that's the real quencher!
Nonono, you don't understand, flame wars build character! 'Twere the early aughts that made me the healthy and well adjusted person I am today!
Or at least, that's what I'd say if what actually happened wasn't that I became a jaded bastard and if I didn't think it was just some ploy to drive engagement to let OP feel popular for a moment... in the best case scenario
Don't worry, I was being 100% facetious! After all, γ is generally believed to have been a hard /g/ in Ancient Greek, which is the version of Greek that "graphic" is based on and is CLEARLY the wrong way to say gif :D
Kinda sorta un-jerking (but not really) for a moment, I don't think that I'd include the rhotic in your hypothetical pronunciation in NASA and thus would say /neæ.sə/ over /neɚ.sə/. I also don't palatalize the U in SCUBA (/sku:.bə/, not /sk^(j)u:bə/), but I suspect that's just a dialectical difference.
Edit: I just saw your NZ lemmy instance name and now I understand the vowel choices. Cheers!
Well, you see, the g in gif stands for "graphics" which is ultimately from Greek "γραφικός," and because this is the 21st century, γ in front of a close front vowel is pronounced as neither /g/ nor /d͡ʒ/ but rather /ʝ/, which is pronounced a bit like English's y, so in its purest rendition gif is really pronounced "yiff", which doubles as homage to the online communities that OP frequents.
They are basically shortcuts. For example, I can type "!w ibuprofen" into DuckDuckGo (or the address bar because I have it set as my default search engine) and be brought immediately to the wikipedia page for Ibuprofen. There's also !yt for youtube search, !so for stack overflow search, and many more.
Friendly reminder to talk to people in the lab besides the PI because it is possible that the PI is out of touch, overconfident in their management abilities (due to egocentric tendencies or otherwise), or habitually overcomitting. Or, they might not be any of those. Relying only on a person for an opinion on themself is seldom a good idea, though
Nah, they right tho, my discoveries are totally useless even with context.
