Hey look, it’s a kürzlich aufgebauter vom Aufbauprinzip verbauter Bau

Edit: also, the configuration is referring to silver for those curious. Not my first choice, but whatever floats OP’s boat (Baute?) I suppose.

It doesn’t work as well spoken, though? Pretty sure Police is pronounced something like po-lee-tseh.

Also, I think you might have swapped a police with Police: “Police police, (whom) Police police police, police Police police.”

The intended joke is that hypervalent iodine compounds like Dess-Martin periodinane flip between different oxidation states like you often see for transition metals. As an example, the mechanism usually drawn for oxidations by DMP is similar to those drawn for PCC/Jones reagent, where the electrons removed from the substrate are “banked” at the metal center. Obviously, redox chemistry is not at all limited to transition metals, but I am often surprised at iodine’s propensity to engage in it. A lot of research over the past decade or two has also developed redox catalysis with these reagents, reactivity which is commonly (though again not always) the purview of transition metals.

Iodine is a transition metal I will die on this hill.

What about ChemE then? They’re both. Sort of. Okay maybe they’re not chemists, but… chemistry-adjacent.

And yet the f block is missing entirely. Oh, the sacrifices we make!

6th period onward looks a little funny…

Ikr, I hate when people draw too many bonds to the OH in formic acid. However, that annoyance is secondary to the new contender for HAC’s position as the stupidest abbreviation for acetic acid.

GFP is often combined with other genes of interest in biotech to provide an easy way to check whether the genes of interest are successfully incorporated/active. Glowy cells = successful, dark = unsuccessful/inactive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reporter_gene

one gets silicosis and the other gets siliconetits

Good rule of thumb: if someone else hasn’t solved the problem yet, it’s more complicated than you’re assuming. If the problem is worth solving, other people smarter than you have almost certainly attempted the easy “solutions” already, and they were inadequate to solve the problem. Heck, even if it’s not worth solving, there’s a non-zero chance that some pre-Reagan weirdos took a crack at it with bonus mercury and thallium compounds for the lulz and published it all in a vague 200-word comm in a now-defunct journal.

Isn’t the squaring actually multiplication by the complex conjugate when working in the complex plane? i.e., √((1 - 0 i) (1 + 0 i) + (0 - i) (0 + i)) = √(1 + - i²) = √(1 + 1) = √2. I could be totally off base here and could be confusing with something else…

I so badly want to be as smart and articulate as Feynman when ever I grow up.

This relation between temperature and resistivity can be shown to be exponential in certain temperature regimes by waving your hands and chanting “to first order.”

for some reason this is the line that got me

New strategy to prevent global warming: just freeze all of the CO2 out of the air!

Alternatively for a full octet on every atom, oxiryne, which does not exist and does not have a wiki page. It’s basically acetylene with its arms chopped off and the stumps dislocated, bent back, and stapled together with an oxygen atom.

Fair, but certain corporate-mandated client-side PDF viewers are… bloatier. Though, I do like not having another window to manage when I open in browser, particularly when doing web searches. It pairs well with tab grouping extensions, and I generally don’t use markup, so no loss for me there.

Related: spicy foods. I used to be basically intolerant of it but now hate eating non-spicy versions of foods I’ve grown accustomed to. Spicy peppers and hot chili powder have become a crutch for my otherwise mediocre cooking skills.
