@Poutnik no they are not enough

send me more

Poutnik

@CuckooBeats site:stackexchange.com OR site:libretexts.org OR site:wikipedia.org OR site:hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu chromatography

Cuckoo Beats

oki but you didnt read any specific book as such?

and do you guys read quantitative analysis or smth?

i think there is qualitative and quantitative analysis

Poutnik

There are many books and I read Czech books in 80s, some translated books, and since than occasional reading.

sure, there are tuns of books about quantitative chromatography.

Cuckoo Beats

ooooo but i must say indian authors (except some) frustate me a lot and I just discourage reading them at the best

Poutnik

GC and LC is focused on quantitative analysis/

Cuckoo Beats

tuns as in tons?

Poutnik

09:18

One letter cannot put cuckoo's AI of the rails.....

sure, tons

site:stackexchange.com OR site:libretexts.org OR site:wikipedia.org OR site:hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu quantitative liquid OR gas chromatographic analysis

Cuckoo Beats

oooo so that means

wait

lemme check first

BTW I am so worried about Wizard XD he is just here for the past 48 hours

chem.hbcse.tifr.res.in/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/…

Poutnik

He seems to be like everywhere.

Cuckoo Beats

oooo its hereeeee

lol

@Poutnik XDDD

Poutnik

I am definitely not the best guy to be asked to recommend so high quality current textbook of analytical chemistry, or specifically about chromatography.

Cuckoo Beats

i got the talkative batch? chemistry.stackexchange.com/users/171055/…

damn

Poutnik

09:26

BTW, chromatography is a HUGE domain.

Cuckoo Beats

@Poutnik oioioioi

well i remember like the teacher who taught us astronomy during the prep camp...he was a spectroscopy expert and i think he did some phd in that

Poutnik

oioioioioi is Indian interjection expressing delight over yummy lunch.

Cuckoo Beats

and the other teacher did phd on some binary star system i forgot the name lol

Poutnik

Post 10 messages, with 1 or more starred, in chat.

Cuckoo Beats

yea that was alcor-mizor

Poutnik

09:30

Mizar?

Cuckoo Beats

yeah maybe idk

did you see alcor and mizar separately back then?

Poutnik

But not sure if it is not just visual (not bound) binary star.

Cuckoo Beats

i did before my glasses

Poutnik

I guess I did.

Cuckoo Beats

alcor mizar is visual i think alcor has another binary star

Poutnik

I was once able to determine time from the date and orientation of Ursa Maior with accuracy +- 10 minutes.

But I have forgotten the formula.

@CuckooBeats some Indian textbooks remind me for some reasons some Brazilian textbooks of physics that Richard Feynman wrote about in his popular book "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!"

the most outstanding thing is butchering the name van der Waals to "vanderwall/vanderwaal". Like vanderwaal forces.
For that, I have a canned comment response:
Some India textbooks use strange term "vanderwaal" (or other variants) as a distorted Dutch family name "van der Waals" ("from Waals"; a nobility predicate) of [Johannes Diderik van der Waals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Diderik_van_der_Waals), the famous physical chemist in late 19th century.

Ignorance of textbook authors/editors may be an excuse for students using such textbooks until this is pointed out to them. The r…

GUESS WHAT

NO CLASS TODAY AHAHAHHAHAA

so that tmrw i can finally go to school with 8hrs of sleep

Poutnik

tmrw = this marvelous week

Cuckoo Beats

and 2 hours of free scoldings from the physics teacher.....yup i went to school today and sadly the physics teacher caught me......i answered all the easy questions wrong.....and she is like "ya aint no way you are not coming to school tmrw"

Poutnik

I have checked both and fled away soon.

Cuckoo Beats

@Poutnik tmrw is short for tommorrow duhh why are you so bad at abbreviations ;)

@Poutnik Ancient war strategy#01

Poutnik

Why are you so bad in estimation how bad are people at abbreviations?

Cuckoo Beats

Cuckoo Beats

you ask any kid in india- what is the first image that comes to your mind when i tell you the word "old people" - 99.99% of the answers would revolve around- "an old man with white hair and black round specs like mahatma gandhi sitting in a rocking chair outside his house with a newspaper in his hands and a cup of chai on the tea-table"

Poutnik

Some are young in 90, some are old in 15.

Poutnik

Perhaps Princess Cuckoo is offended.

Cuckoo Beats

Poutnik

Mithoron is the master of shortcuts.

Cuckoo Beats

yeah he is dead drop cool

i think he is better being mod, he has scolded me enough.....

Poutnik

@CuckooBeats No, my hair is still dark brown.

Poutnik

But my beard would be already white, if I let it grow.

Cuckoo Beats

ohhkkkkk wait i need more info for chatgpt to make a drawing of you....

i m ranked 580 in users all time

16*36+4

Poutnik

And how many weeks do you plan to spend on chemistry yet?

Cuckoo Beats

16:01

lol umm idk by the time i get to reach the indian team for icho

maybe idk..?

Poutnik

All India team?

Cuckoo Beats

yeah

for icho its only 4 ppl cuz lack of funding
