if the peripheral atoms are all identical around a central atom without any lone pairs, would the bond angle remain same, regardless of the electronegativity of the peripheral atoms for a given steric number? For example, we know that SiH4 and SiF4 have the same tetrahedral geometry and 109.5° bond angle even though H and F are vastly different in electronegativity. Does this hold for all steric numbers though?
I'm a GenZ horror buff so pardon my lethargy in having approached this classic but wow... finally a horror classic that truly lives upto and maybe even supersedes its hype. The movie has such a singular control over tone and manages to not meander into any camp territory over the 90 minutes runtime. Just the right amount of exposition, a gripping lore, great practical effects and a creepy analog set up supported by excellent acting. It's somewhat similar to Incantation in how much it respects the potence of curses. What people don't talk enough about is the stunning cinematography! The beach sequence where we first come to learn who Sadako really is now seared into my brain. >!Sadako remaining malevolent, and not suddenly having a change of heart, is what bolsters the third act to brilliance!< On a smaller note, I really appreciate that the psychic husband was a mathematician and not a professor of occult studies lol.
It's more of a horror thriller tbh. I love paatal lok too but it cannot compete. The way it builds mystery around the character of Shubh and truly captures the eeriness of Varanasi is like nothing I have ever seen. What shows gave you the same vibe and made you think for a while?
Especially in Dravidian languages.
A homophobe threatened to behead me in a heated argument. But then blocked me and deleted their account. I have the screenshot though. Is it worth going to cyberpolice? Idek if the perpetrator is indian or where they live. Would it be investigated?
Someone with a bot like profile called me dirty homophobic slurs on Instagram and commented death threats. But they seemed to have blocked me since. I have a screenshot. Should I report? They seem to have blocked me or deleted their account since.

It finally got on digital, so I watched it yesterday. Raimi is so back! The movie is shot and edited in quite a nostalgic early 2010s style, and while the CGI leaves much to desire—its splatter and gore fit Raimi's genre sensibilities so well. The boar killing scene got me good, as someone with great gore tolerance, and set the tone for the rest of the movie, which left you guessing up until that point if it's gonna get real bloody, or pick a romantic lane instead. Rachel McAdams is great as always, and seemed to channel her 'Red Eyes' character's energy for this one. Dylan O'Brien was born with a face to play such delightfully pathetic men.
What do we feel about Wangchuk's antics, theoretically? Afaik, none of the communist literatures encourage it, given that it is inherently based in the idea of pitying the working class and reinforces the oppressor-oppressed dynamics, by relying at the mercy of their non-existent conscience. That said, before you accuse me of being an RSS bot lol, I commend his bravery and genuinely believe that he thinks it's the last shot he has towards a semblance of accountancy in such a fascist enabling environment.
Would it benefit me to first take CS50x and CS50 Introduction to Python courses, and learn coding generically first, as someone who's interested in comp chem and bioinformatics, but has absolutely zero experience in coding? Or would you suggest jumping into the core material directly and learning python alongside?
I do have strong theoretical foundations in linear algebra, differential equations and stat thermo, or so I believe.
Is Mitski a domestic abuser? 😮 🫢 /s
I know it's probably hyperbole lol. But how do you guys interpret these lyrics?
So Myenas had nested behind our AC exhaust in April and we let it because it wasn't hot back then and they had already laid before we caught a whole glimpse. The chicks matured and flew away, and we cleaned the mess. But they restarted nesting now again, and are fornicating atop the units too!? Seems like they really liked the place.
We keep destroying the nest, cleaning it and they rebuild it. We want to ensure they abandon it entirely before any eggs are laid again because that would be hard to deal with then. And it's become unbearable now without the AC running. Dry twigs are obviously a major fire hazard. Is there a way to get rid of them without any harm? Someone said a plastic net covering the whole unit, but wouldn't that be a fire hazard too?
I absolutely love how much of the first act is just a romcom with warm lighting in a Manhattan apartment lol. It sets up perfectly for the devastation that follows and the characters all feel root worthy, and not the usual one-notes.
I'm travelling there on 8th and will be staying for two weeks.
I'm travelling from Patna to Kolkata on June 8th for a summer training programme at the Institute Of Chemical Biology, but I have no idea about the accommodations around and the institute doesn't offer any. Since it is in Jadavpur, I felt this sub would be the best to ask.
Entropy is popularly defined as the tendency of energy to attain randomness/scattering of energy in different microstates. And you can mathematically construct the probability of each microstate being more favourable, given enough information. Most importantly, you can feel it irl. Gibbs Free Energy? I have been using it for almost 3 years now as a second year undergraduate, and I still could not explain it to someone. I have no physical intuition of it. It seems like something defined entirely by application.
So A is clearly the only without a plane of symmetry. But my teacher says B is the right answer here, because cis-(1,2)-dimethylcyclohexanes are enantiomeric despite their achirality. But I don't understand the reason why? I drew out all the structures and B clearly had a plane of symmetry.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but a is the only option here that has no plane of symmetry? While the others do. Should that not disqualify them all from being 'enantiopure'? I'm being told that (1,2)-dimethylcyclohexanes have a special case of cis compounds being enantiomeric while trans being not. But I don't understand how? I drew all the structures and a is the only option without a plane of symmetry.
