@M.A.R. I'm not boreucratic!
😠
@pentavalentcarbon In all honesty though, why are you using BibTex, it's old and broken...
 
7:02 AM
@GaurangTandon sorry man, I can't really do anything on the main site these days. Because well, my posts are old, and I should actually give them a second read to find out what you're talking about
Don't take my words as the Bible though
I might have been wrong
Confirm with other posts, or in chat
@Martin-マーチン yes you are
😆

@M.A.R. Yeah, that's perfectly understandable :) Except that the question has nearly ~50k views now, so do keep it on your next sunday-to-do list ;)

a mod should super ping chemistry.stackexchange.com/users/55803/chakravarthy-kalyan and thank them for replacing hand-drawn schemes with ChemDraw ones
@Martin-マーチン I am ~50% sure the class I'm using doesn't work otherwise
Our required class is an ugly outdated piece of 💩
I won't mess with anything until I finish adding the citations...today or tomorrow
by outdated I mean last updated in 2004
I can send you a copy when it's nearing completion so you can see just how ugly it is...better not show Jan
 
3:19 PM
@pentavalentcarbon @ChakravarthyKalyan thank you for all your hard work replacing hand-drawn images with Chemdraw ones. It is very much appreciated.
@pentavalentcarbon yes, you can do that... I'll have a look at the link in the meantime
 
chapters have to be in all caps 👎👎👎
 
3:47 PM
...I've uncovered lots of wrong citations in the original papers...the two papers that were written with Word...

Q: Why aren't I a Guru this time?

paracetamolMy answer to the question, How are poisons discovered? Does someone have to die/be poisoned from it first?, garnered 43 upvotes. The requirement for the Guru badge is a minimum of 40 upvotes, and it can be awarded multiple times. Yet I still only have my Guru badge from last time. It's been ove...

Q: Is it okay to add Easter Eggs to my answers?

paracetamolFrom the help center: Whether you've come to ask questions, or to generously share what you know, remember that we’re all here to learn, together. Be welcoming and patient, especially with those who may not know everything you do. Oh, and bring your sense of humor. Just in case. I understan...

 
@1,3-feeds Please don't
 
Small question: Would the preferred name for this alkane:
be 5-(propan-2-yl)decane, 5-isopropyldecane, or something else?
 
@LegionMammal978 5-(propan-2-yl)decane
 
5:31 PM
@Loong Okay, wasn't sure if the rules were any different for substitutive groups
 
The ChemDraw default template is uglier than hand drawn structures :/
 
Maybe so that you have to change it.
I think the old Corel Draw was like that.
 
@GaurangTandon (ノ-_-)ノ・・・~~┻━┻
@1,3-feeds I've felt the most meh I could
@Gaurang I think that answer has more than 15 votes, and no downloads.
Downvotes. No downvotes.
So considering someone could have come along and corrected me, and I think the comment section there is purged at least once, but no one has, I must be right.
@Gaurang regarding your first comment, by "bond", I/he/whoever means the intermolecular I2...I2 bond
You can call it a bond too. No biggie.
Regarding your second comment, I feel too lazy again.
Maybe Google it.

> When Newton saw an apple fall, he found
In that slight startle from his contemplation --
'T is said (for I'll not answer above ground
For any sage's creed or calculation) --
A mode of proving that the earth turn'd round
In a most natural whirl, called "gravitation;"
And this is the sole mortal who could grapple,
Since Adam, with a fall or with an apple.

Man fell with apples, and with apples rose,
If this be true; for we must deem the mode
In which Sir Isaac Newton could disclose
Through the then unpaved stars the turnpike road,
So brilliant
 
Wow
Impressive
 
Zhe
@orthocresol 100%
 
chem.libretexts.org/Core/Physical_and_Theoretical_Chemistry/… -- @Gaurang see if this answers your second comment, and if it does, would you do me a favor please and edit it in as a source? Thanks
OK you abused my unlaziness today, but you shall never get the best of me!

6:10 PM
I wonder if there are long witty poems in Persian
Like "Don Juan" by Byron or "Eugene Onegin" by Pushkin
 
6:55 PM
It looks like it's "User was removed" time again; I lost nearly all daily xp points (still +ve though), but I noticed that other users lost up to -800 at once! Is this, ehhm, normal?
 
Zhe
@andselisk I think so. Depends on the user.
 
@Zhe Well, then it's a sad day for us all:(
 
7:52 PM
brr, −9 °C when I was driving home today
 
8:04 PM
says it's that here, right now
 
Apparently it was 21 °C in Singapore a while ago.
I missed it...
 
Also the sea has started to freeze.
We had to switch off cooling water pumps because of the risk of frazil ice.
 
8:20 PM
@CowperKettle is a book long enough?
Saadi's Boostan
 
First "User was removed", now I noticed that paracetamol got banned for a month: "This account is temporarily suspended for voting irregularities. The suspension period ends on Feb 16 at 19:17". What is going on today? A witchhunt?
 
@andselisk my loss is very terrible!
MINUS TEN POINTZ!
This is anarchyyyyyy!!!
@andselisk shiiit
 
Zhe
@andselisk Was he sock puppeting?
 
@M.A.R. You are probably used to it, but this is the first time I see anything like this. What is sock puppeting?:)
 
@andselisk using an alternate account to upvote thyself
 
8:24 PM
@M.A.R. Oh. Sounds bad.
 
Kinda cheap shot
K, now that we all know what happened, let's move on.
We want him to come back, don't we?
 
@M.A.R. Yeah, shiiit indead, I agree. But maybe his family member or friend used the same computer and is also registered on Chemistry.SX; how did they came up that those accounts belong to the very same person?
 
@andselisk they don't. Whether it's your friend, you, or some lover you don't know, it's illegal
As illegal as an SE thing can get
And it wasn't a one time witch hunt.
Mods regularly do this stuff
 
@M.A.R. Well, thank you for the heads up!

I think this bubbles up to top level SE stuff. Not chem
I'm sure they have bot detection, etc, and you can appeal if it's a mistake
Which it may, we don't really know

@Zhe mods have a page where the voting the system considers suspicious using a script is shown. So it's really not a hunt, but supervision.
 
Zhe
Interesting
 
It's usually just the mod sending a moderator private message, and acting on it. It rarely gets elevated to SE staff
But sure, there might be times we would need someone with access to the database
@Zhe the person can respond to the mod message. After that, the mod can respond back too, and so on.
But unsurprisingly, sometimes people act as jerks and swear and stuff, so the person can only respond once unless the mod responds to their message
I wonder what curse words @Mart has heard
@M.A.R. It would be great if you reopened this question. Wikipedia isn't an expert right? At least send me some links related to this topic, don't be so rude. — ostal123 2 mins ago
Come on MAR you #@$#. Don't be so rude by helping.
 
11:14 PM
Somehow I received the message "user was removed" this morning and got a 35 point reduction. What happened there?
 
Wait, would tert-butyl or 2-methylpropan-2-yl be preferred for a (CH₃)₃C- group?
 
@orthocresol Oh u were in SG? That's where I live BTW
 
11:43 PM
@TanYongBoon user was removed
Duh
@TanYongBoon read from here

Whatever I just voted to reopen was definitely not unclear. Tell me if I did something stupid.
