  Except the antagonist of the Muppets movie knew Kermit was a frog, which is why he wanted to kill and eat/sell his frog legs at his frog leg restaurant. You’re right that no one saw anything unusual about a talking frog (and that is part of the humor), but at least some people recognized that he was a frog.

  What do these pictures have to do with round bottomed flasks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The after party⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, yes, but I still drink too heavily and partied hard throughout college and grad school. I mean, if you don’t develop a new substance dependency or 2 over of the course of earning of a degree, does even count?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The after party⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And if you party long enough, you will inevitably become “that guy” at some point.

  On the other hand, if you’re immortal and you can’t manage to build a fair bit of wealth what are you even doing with your time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is water an acid or a base?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Autoionization and the reverse reaction are constantly happening in water, and when the reaction is happening at the same rate forward and backward the system is said to be “at dynamic equilibrium” (aka, stuff is happening, but there’s no net change)

  In pure water, the concentration of hydronium and hydroxide are equal, so it’s said to be neutral. At room temperature, that concentration is approximately 1*10^-7 moles per liter, which gives a pH of 7 (since pH is defined as the negative log _10 of hydronium concentration)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is water an acid or a base?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really. Deuterium exists naturally in more it less the ratio as it has since the solar system first coalesced.

  Also, deuterium is a component of heavy water, but the term “deuterium” actually referred to the specific isotope of hydrogen where the nucleus consists of one proton and one neutron, as opposed to a single proton (which is the more common isotope)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is water an acid or a base?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interestingly enough, in other solvents a neutral pH is going to be a different value. IIRC, ammonia has an autoionization constant of 10^-30, so a neutral pH would be 15

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is water an acid or a base?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why the meme works. It’s not because water autoionizes; it’s because water is amphoteric, meaning it can act as either a Brønsted-Lowry acid or BL base depending on what what it’s reacting with. Put water with ammonia, and water acts as an acid. Put water with acetic acid, and it acts as a base

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tomorrow is wednesday, my dudes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even ever get the physical withdrawals or any noticeable effects, regardless of how often I do or don’t drink it. So, since my partner really does need the coffee first thing in the morning and I’m making it anyway, I usually have a cup because I like the taste and ritual. But when she’s out of town or getting coffee elsewhere, I hardly ever have any caffeine.

  The exception is when I was taking Adderall every day, I really did feel some effects from the caffeine, mostly potentiating the amphetamine. I do miss that aspect of being medicated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tomorrow is wednesday, my dudes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Made well I enjoy the taste, but it’s ever been good at keeping me awake or making me productive.

  Same. I eventually figured out that this is likely a symptom of my adult ADHD, and I either need unhealthy amounts of coffee or something a little stronger

  Well, yeah. If I got chased down and caught by a predator 4 times my size, I’d be a little wide-eyed, too.

  His handlers are just using it as a distraction from the class war. Trump is too dumb and fried to think with that level of intention.

  Depends on how steep the hill is and how precise you need to be with your position. Parallel parking in San Francisco almost requires the handbrake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You guys have to end it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and regularly drove my standard transmission in San Francisco (one of the hilliest cities in North America), and used my hand brake all the time to maintain my position while I engaged the transmission. I’m not really sure what you’re on about…

  No worries! I don’t think the chain needs to be stiff, just tight. From what I can tell, these are called a chain wrench, and I found a demo video.

  Hope that helps!
