@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I mean, if you seriously don't think we have a problem, then you're wrong

@pentavalentcarbon we do have a problem. Something objectively called a problem, with potential fixes that require a lot of tact, charm and patience

But I don't need a meta.SE troll who has done nothing for the site come and tell me that

In an "OMFG your site is doomed and suffocating" manner, with no clear suggested fixes

"Close less"? What does that mean?

Seriously, @penta. Just take a look at a bunch of his meta.SE posts

That is, in case they're not deleted

Q: How to determine the order of acidity of the following dimethyl nitrophenols

I was solving some questions, and I came across this one. This is how I went about it, although I got a wrong answer: (2) shows the nitro group to be sterically hindered, due to which it should go out of plane and this will be an example of the steric inhibition of resonance. Hence, there wi...

@AvnishKabaj cast mine. Usually, the closure loses its meaning if there's an upvoted answer to the question

The exception could be something duped to a canonical post, or a shit magnet

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ thanks

It already has an accepted answer

But still

Q: How to view highest voted posts first?

I have found that my time is usually best spent (or I revise my concepts more efficiently) when viewing posts with more votes. Is there a way to view all questions in descending order of votes? Thanks in advance. EDIT: I was asking w.r.t. the main website.

BTW, @Mart, I'm nearly done with my answer for this question.

Hopefully it doesn't set your hair on fire

Martin - マーチン

@hBy2Py How do you calculate an angle between a e-pair in an s-orbital and another e-pair in a different orbital? That should be impossible.

hBy2Py

It's not via an orbital-based approach, at least not directly

Thus, controversial

It uses the locations of the attractors in the ELF field.

Martin - マーチン

Hmm kay, I could get behind that; although, I don't really see the use.

I guess I'll have to wait until you enlighten me ;)

ping me when you're done

hBy2Py

<nod>, will do.

not really sure yet

That this question got 14 upvotes makes me sad...

Martin - マーチン

Why?

hBy2Py

@Zhe Enh, it's popularly-accessible. Not surprising it got a bunch of favorable attention.

Zhe

I'm not sure exactly why

hBy2Py

Answers were pretty good, too

It's a gut reaction

I think it's mostly because deuterated water is everywhere

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ he’s borderline kind of a dick? Why so combative?

@Zhe nailed it!

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Look I know how to use data, too!

This is just a sophisticated troll who's getting on every bit of discussion about him

The best part is, he can admit that this is a sock and get his account banned

@Zhe don't be, it seems to be one of the first questions on the site

And you gotta see voting on private beta. It's crazy

There's a burden on everyone to blindly upvote everyone

And it's a dumb "I wonder" question, so it might have got HNQ if it was posted now

Hello

A little question about english, I am writting my report for my gap year and I would like to know if I have to say "reaction kinetics" or "reaction kinetic"?

Zhe

The topic is "kinetics"

i.e., the noun

kinetic should be used as an adjective, e.g., kinetic studies

So, from the very limited context, I would say "reaction kinetics" @Hexacoordinate-C

Hexacoordinate-C

Thank you. My supervisor wasn't sure and then me neither.
