Hi, pretty much what the title says, is it like a dialect thing? Or is there a grammatic difference?

Thank you all for responding

Hi, I couldn't find a definite answer for this anywhere, what is the oldest city in Iran? In school I think they said it was Hegmataneh, but the textbook didn't really focus on those parts, 4 names keep popping up, Hamadan, Hegmataneh, Susa and Shush, can you explain this a bit please?

Hi, I just finished The Plague, and I must say I did enjoy it, I liked the ending too, but I do have a few questions, so here it goes:

1. What was the point of Grand? A guy who keeps writing and rewriting one sentence throughout the whole book, I think he was the character I understood the least, I was a bit confused about what that has to do with the plague and the town, what was his significance to the story? What did he represent?

2. OK, am I the only one who is bothered by this, or is the presence of female characters weird for anyone else? It was something that I just kept thinking about, how in a book called the Plague, there weren't any nurses in the story, and it wasn't just that, Rieux spends day and night at Tarrou's bedside, grieves him for pages, is in denial at first, you can just feel the emotions pouring out of the pages and that part was masterfully written, however, when his wife dies whom he had known and lived with and loved for several years, he's like, yeah, I knew it was coming, no biggie, it was literally less than a paragraph, which is kinda funny

Hi, I was doing some grammer exercises, about wer, wen and wem, and one of them was this:

Frankfurt gefällt mir gut, and I had to make a sentence, to which Frankfurt would be the answer. There was no mention of wo in the lesson notes, so I knew it had to be was, and the answer key says the same thing, but can I use wo ? Would that be grammatically correct? If not, can it still be used in conversation and sound natural?

Wo gefällt dir gut?

Was gefällt dir gut?

Or should I use something like Welche Stadt or Welchen Ort? Would that be correct? And would it sound conversational?

Hi, I was wondering if German speakers ever drop the pronouns in conversation, the ones that have more distinct verb endings like ich and du, because in my native language and some others, this does happen very often, as verb endings are pretty specific.

I asked deepseek and it said this isn't done in german, but then I was watching Druck and saw this sentence: "bin krank" so, it seems like it *can* happen, is it a very common thing? With which pronouns can it be done?

Hi, I just wanted to know what is the nature of the bond between the Carbon and the Metal in a Organometallic Reagents?

Hi, I'm going to run a Ravenloft campaign, and I decided to give the OG books a look, and I absolutely loved what I saw! But I'm a bit confused about the order, I googled it but some books were left out of the list, my campaign will mostly rotate around Strahd, Tatyana and Azalin, and here are the pdfs I found:

I6 Ravenloft, Ravenloft II: The House on Gryphon Hill

Ravenloft Gazetteer vol 1 & 2

From the Shadows, Roots of evil (these 2 are connected it seems, correct?)

Lord of Necropolis

House of Starhd

Expedition to Castle Ravenloft

Any additions to this list will be welcome as well, and I will be very thankful if you could also tell me when Vladeska Drakov, Viktra Mordenheim and Bluetspur are first mentioned

Hi, I'm a chemistry student, and I want to get as good as I can at complex and titration problems, as they are going to be a good chunk of what my general chemistry final will consist of.

Hi, what was the hv on top of the arrows on reactions? It had something to do with light if I remember correctly, I have seen it a few times in my text book, like turning Br2 to radicals

Thank you all for responding 🧡

Hi, I'm a chemistry student and this my thing so sorry if I use the wrong terminology or words. I'm from Iran and classes like Islamic philosophy are mandatory, because "we have to have information about important things other than our major", which makes me wonder why philosophy and religion majors don't have to study any math or physics, anyway, my professor spends more time debunking the value of science and mindsets other than his, than actually explaining why what he says is right, apparently there should be no question about that, so I came here with my questions:

Is the world full of chaos or order? Can we even determine that? I know science proves there is a semblance of order in the universe, but there is also a lot of chance and randomness

There is apparently a sort of knowledge that we all know, without any thing teaching it to us, like our sense of self and emotions, the professor uses this to explain a part of why God exists, but the same people ignore this sense of self and emotion in others when they don't like it, like when they prosecute us for being gay or say it's wrong, they use a book to overrule people, so wouldn't that take away the validity of them using this kind of knowledge to explain the existence of God?

And finally, they say that they believe in God and the holy books or whatever, and say evolution is wrong, I agree it isn't perfect but natural selection exists, some say God set it all in motion and therefore it's not chaos and it's planned, but don't the holy books say the world was created in 6 or 7 days? And things were created at the same time? Science proves a lot of that wrong, doesn't that take the validity of Quran and the Bible away?

Thank you for taking the time to read this
