How about i just never come back to this website again? seems like the better idea — Ben 5 hours ago

@Martin-マーチン Hi ! Do you know what BF3 does here ? Surely there's a transposition of some kind of I'm not sure where it intervenes

@Hippalectryon o/

well it usually acts simply as a Lewis acid, but in this concrete case I'm not sure... have to take a closer look

@Martin-マーチン I have to go for now, if you have an idea let me know when I am back :-)

@Hippalectryon yeah I have one, but i need to draw it, so give me a few minutes ;)

7:14 AM

I am not at all sure about the stereochemistry, but this should give you a head start

@Jan is an organic chemist, he should know more...

ohhh... i think I got it...

OC-people verify please :D

you might see a pattern in the tags there...

@Martin-マーチン No, I mean I was under the impression that it's a she.

It's wrong to assume chemicals' gender anyway.

Then again, Jan Dvorak is a he.

In which cultures is Jan a female name?

Weird cultures.

It's embarrassing actually; there's a user Anna at Physics; a female? hmm...

@Martin-マーチン thanks

you're welcome

@MAFIA36790 Well, surely Anna is a female name.

BUT

It's not unlikely of men to choose feminine usernames.

Over in Charcoal HQ we have found offensive answers originating from this user. We can deal with the answers using offensive flags, however the username might need dealing with. @Mods

@Mart

i'm on it...

destruction completed

thank you

@Martin-マーチン thanks

@angussidney no problem, that's what we're here for

@Martin-マーチン English-as-first-language ones, at least. "Jan" is short for, e.g., "Janice", with the 'J' pronounced as "juh" rather than "yuh".

@hBy2Py interesting... ;)

Meta.SE town hall event to be held on June 22nd

What does an outlined star mean on a chat message? Pinned by a room mod or something?

@hBy2Py Pinned chat message. Could be done by an RO or a mod.

It means the message sticks to the top.

RO = Room Owner

@TIPS youtube.com/watch?v=nL6IWZhLdSM (contains strong language)

1:31 PM

Gotcha, thanks.

When is the next community mod election going to happen? It was already running by this point last year, I think?

@hBy2Py only if and when the need arises

Oh, huh. I thought it was an annual thing.

But, no, now I actually read carefully the post on it.

So, then, @Mart, how is the modding going? Is the current team in good spirits?

sure... there really is not that much to do, most of it is already done by the busy community, just the occasional rule breaker/offensive flag that needs to be dealt with.

1:47 PM

@hBy2Py Usually the second mod election of early graduated sites happens in the second or the third year after the first one.

2:29 PM

@TIPS do you want a new mod?

Well yeah

Not to replace the last ones though

elaborate

Elaborates

@TIPS well, you actually don't

Elaborates a bit further

What's to elaborate about that?

2:34 PM

you want an additional mod for the team, there must be a reason for that, I would like to know that reason, please.

Nah.

There isn't always a (good) reason for something.

The reason is that if they asked me "does the site X need a new mod?", I'd say "yeah".

ok.

Maybe it's 'cause I like changing things when I know the changes and the things don't harm.

But maybe a new mod would've harmed.

The current set of mods are rather cool.

What if the new mod would've reduced coolness scale?

Whatever

haha... I don't think a new mod would hurt

I can imagine we'll be also safe on the coolness scale

Yeah, @Loong for mod

2:40 PM

@TIPS hm?

Currently there really is not much to do, which is good, since I am soon unavailable for a while...

@Loong I'm trying to make a list of people that could be the next chem mods and wouldn't decrease the coolness scale.

oh, that's nice, thank you

@Loong ;)

Weird typo

Anyway, so you weren't unavailable yet @Mart? Why have you forsaken the Teriodic Pable?

2:43 PM

Well, I am very busy, but I still have time to check flags, edit a few posts, etc...

Q: Please explain the MOT explaination of hyper-valency

When will you unbusy?

I know what hypervalency is within a compounds, but i am confused on how the MOT explains this, in particular for the PF5 compound. Would someone please be able to explain this to me?

inorganic-chemistry everyday-chemistry

I have a conference coming up and the holiday... after that maybe

Yo dawg

I hear you like explaining explainations so I put explainations in your explainations so you can explain while you explain

@Martin-マーチン When will that be? 2050?

lol... whats up with all the pf5/pcl5 questions yo~

@TIPS We'll see about that... maybe september

@Jan correct or nah?

4:50 PM

@Martin-マーチン Looks legit. =3

Also, we started calling BF3 the magic reagent because it can do like everything xD

@Jan Make it do my poster!

@Martin-マーチン You'll have to find out the correct stoichiometry yourself, sorry =C

Also, Germany : Northern Ireland 1:0.

I'll go into hibernate mode now... nighty night @all!

@MAFIA36790 You sound very … depressed?

user116211

user116211

At least one thing for sure; it's really chilly cold here - this would save me from that humid-torture.
