@Loong I've just found an old computer with Windows XP, and the same ChemDraw 16 behaves there in the exact same manner, producing lots of artifacts when PNG is chosen as the output. TIFF and vector formats are fine though.

@pentavalentcarbon Don't use BibTex!

@pentavalentcarbon (Anecdote: The homework tag's excerpt states: Do not use in all caps, but it is applied at least a few times every week.)

you can follow that over at spring cleaning; feeds posts every new message there

@pentavalentcarbon Why are you adding references?

All of this is my work. It is not built on any prior knowledge. Click print. Bind. Done.

@Zhe Because I enjoy it, duh, why else

@pentavalentcarbon Enjoy torturing yourself?

This is easy. I'm removing duplicates from a library my collaborator gave me. All the papers and preprints are already LaTeXed up, but all the references for the 2 that came from Word need to be added. So far, very easy, just tedious.

Studying is much worse

I read at two places that CN group is electron withdrawing.

Why is it so? I couldn't find the answer on google.

My thoughts: The Carbon atom of CN is sp hybridised. This implies that it has 50% s character and hence more electronegativity.

@Abcd perhaps more importantly, it has an electronegative atom next to it...

Okay.

@Zhe there's a word for it

@Loong ha, I see this message again and I again don't have access to a computer

In your face, helping people

Also I don't know much about image formats other than their properties

What, I am not a dang illustrator

@pentavalentcarbon I would pin this but Mart is too boreucratic

You heat your bathtub to a temperature of 50 °C. You then get inside the bathtub. Why don't you immediately get a fever?

@M.A.R. don't want to send the wrong idea to the youngsters, of course
