girl what the hell is equilibrium. how am i supposed to see if Q is less than or greater than Kc if they both use the same formula. what the fuck are ICE tables.

#i hate chemistry #equilibrium #general chemistry #ICE tables #studyblr #this is my introduction to studyblr hi yall #chemistry is driving me insane and i feel bad for always complaining to my friends so i decided to migrate here .

Sometimes...characters being in a romantic relationship is worse.

#text #sometimes it's the most boring way to have characters interact #sometimes it's worse than the chemistry they have as literally any other kind of relationship #sometimes their platonic dynamic is better #sometimes their hostile dynamic is better #sometimes their dynamic is better if it's anything other than romance #because maybe them falling into generic romance is how you ruin their characters.#aro #aromantic #aroace #i only tag these because it feels relevant to why i feel this way

Workaholics Anonymous

Science Major: Man, I sure wish I had time to enjoy college but I have so much studying and homework to do. At least I'll get an easy high paying job after, right?

Physicist: I think I have a pretty good work life balance (does not, actually) and I think my grad students should have the same work life balance (which is not having that)

Astronomer: I work *about 40 hour weeks, but sometimes there are hours are in the middle of the night 'cause, y'know, stars. But who needs a consistent sleep schedule, really? Not me. I got Redbull.

Geologist: Sometimes I get to spend 15 hours a day wandering through the desert in severe weather conditions looking for cool rocks! also I have to like survey the land or whatever so I can get money

Chemist: Oh, you know, my PI only lets me see my family at night for dinner, then I have to come back and sleep in the lab, but overall I’d say I’m not too stressed.

Physician: Well, I had to work really hard, so why shouldn't everyone else have to work even harder? I'm sure the patients could only benefit from everyone being sleep deprived.

Biologist: I work so much I don’t even remember the last time I wasn’t working.

Science Major: huh?

Biologist: I MUST OBSERVE THE CRAB AT ALL TIMES. I OBSERVE THE CRAB EVEN AS WE SPEAK. IF I DO NOT PUBLISH 60 PAPERS ON CRAB BEHAVIOR BY NEXT YEAR MY COLLEAGUES WILL SENSE MY WEAKNESS AND DEVOUR ME ALIVE, LIKE A PACK OF STARVING CRABS

Computer Scientist: Um… I work from home for at most 8 hours a day then play video games

Biologist: *licks lips*

Computer Scientist (Game Dev): I would murder you if I wasn't so... oh there I go- *passes out from exhaustion (hasn't slept or touched grass in five years)*

#science #physics #biology #chemistry #geology #scientists sitcom #for real though science has a very toxic work culture in general #we should syop eating each other alive like a pack of crabs just because they want to have a family #is sad just how little i am exaggerating with some of these #CRABS #astronomy #computer science

I still don't know how I managed to power through ~200 ochem problems for the upcoming test but I have to say I'm impressed

#the thing about studying chemistry #(or just stem in general probably)#is i solved all these problems and yet i know i can't count on getting anything above just passing #bc this stuff is so hard #but hey i ordered those periodic table patches!#mine #studyblr #chemblr #studyspo

have to remind myself this isn’t an edit sometimes like they really just did that. freaks

#facecards so lethal they could end wars. no wonder jonsa nation antis get so nervous abt us #reddit in a panic abt the jon/sansa scenes. news outlets publishing articles on their chemistry. the general audiences speculating abt them #and sophie and kit took the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever #junk

#woke up in cold sweat bc of this post. ian and pstew walked (failed to canonize old man cherik fucking in the third xmen film yet made the #whole franchise gay) so shennant could run (does a little rpf show and generate chemistry so good they managed to eke out a romcom season #from neil like bleeding water from a stone. and do a little gay kiss that changes the narrative)#rpf wise shennant is not where pstew and ian are but theyre on their way. but in other ways they already are and more #but all this to say. shennant on the west end 2027 MANIFEST 🕯🕯🕯#ian mckellen #patrick stewart #michael sheen #david tennant #sigh.#shennant #xmen #good omens #people #ysa.txt

The foxes just won another game. Neil waddles over to Andrew to celebrate using his racket cos he’s so exhausted. When he gets there, he smiles at him before falling to the floor. Without a word, Andrew sits down in front of him. They both sit there silently, staring into each others eyes with their foreheads pressed together.

And that’s how the press and fans started speculating about their relationship😋

#I can’t write for shit but they have been taking up 99% of my thoughts for the past 2 weeks and #I keep imagining lil scenarios like this so thought I’d post one if idk #this is probably rlly cringe but wtva💀#HELP THEY HAVE CHANGED MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY #I CANT GO 10 MINUTES WITHOUT THINKING OF THEM #AND THE BOOKS IN GENERAL #I GET HYPERFIXATIONS ALL THE TIME BUT THEY ARE RARELY AS INTENSE AS THIS😭#the last time it was this bad was when young royals s1 first came out and #I felt physically sick if I wasn’t watching the show #like literally #I had a shower and after it I was literally rolling round on the floor cos I felt so sick #love that #yey autism #woop woop #andreil #all for the game #andrew minyard #neil josten #andreil have taken over my life

Milk ref sheet done yaHOOOOOOOOOOO lookit my big beautiful baby they filled with joy and happiness

#milk #digital #mogimage #the worst part of making this was their fucked up hands #lemurs gotta lemur and grab fruits and branches and small animals and bugs but y'know its fucked up that they have weird hands #at least i was able to euphemistically state how much fun they have with themselves and their girlfriend #robbie just has fuckin. hoof fingers. it don't work like that for her #very sad about that #ANYWAY i learned recently from a discussion on discord about putting tattoos on furries that scars grow white fur sometimes #so i applied that here to make it look less like just fur texture on milk's arms #might tone it down eventually but im not certain #a side story about that is that milk changes the story behind all of their sh scars every time they're asked by someone they don't trust #like “yeah i broke some equipment in a hs chemistry class and stupidly tried to wipe up broken glass with my arms”#“i tried to hug a big cactus when i was younger”#or “i used to work in a kitchen and i was really bad at paying attention when cutting vegetables”#generally they just don't like to think about it so they wear funny arm socks or long sleeves most of the time but sometimes they don't car

You guys have probably heard that the EPA just set new Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for the first time in decades for PFAS, which is BIG news in the industry, but not a surprise. I've been in meetings for months hearing about how new PFAS regulations were in the works, and the consensus in the environmental sector is that it's long overdue. But for the rest of you who've never heard of PFAS before I can break down what the big issues are and why they've taken so long to address.

^stolen from pubchem

So PFAS stands for per- and poly- flouroalkyl substances, and it's not one chemical compound, but an entire class of thousands of chemicals that have these chains of Carbon and Flourine atoms. For anybody who doesn't have a chem background fluorine is a nasty atom, it has seven electrons in its valence shell and it will do anything to fill it up to eight, creating incredibly strong bonds.

So you have really strong C-F bonds and these chains of C and F atoms are hydrophobic, which means these compounds are durable and water resistant, which makes them great for all sorts of industrial uses. And we've used them in everything: clothing, fast food wrappers, paints, solar panels, and non-stick pans just to start.

Unfortunately, these wonder chemicals are PBTM- Persistent, Bioaccumulative, Toxic, and Mobile. They don't break down, they build up in the food chain, they have adverse health effects, and even though C-F chains are hydrophobic, additional compounds connected to them can make them soluble in water (so they're in our drinking water). We're starting to realize PFAS can raise cholesterol, inhibit immune response, interfere with your thyroid (part of your hormonal system), cause liver toxicity, is linked to cancer, and more!

At this point you're probably starting to think wtf, how did we allow the continued widespread use of these chemicals? Well, we have phased out quite a few high profile PFAS compounds including PFOA and PFOS, but we still want to regulate and test for them in our drinking water. While PFAS is in many different products, the biggest sources of contamination are industrial runoff, areas where fire fighting foams were tested and used, landfills that leach out PFAS into the surrounding area, and wastewater treatment plants. So don't feel too stressed about eating microwave popcorn or using nail polish.

The reason these regulations took so long to implement was because of how difficult it was to connect such small amounts of PFAS with health hazards. The level of concern for PFAS is extremely low- in the ppt (parts per trillion) range. When I sample for contaminants I'm generally testing in the ppm range and higher, for PFAS we're looking an entire scale lower. We literally did not have the technology before the last few decades to detect PFAS in the ppt range in water, let alone study their effects (you can't just impose massive regulations without any proof to back it up).

States that currently have PFAS limits in drinking water have mostly capped it in the 10-70 ppt range. The new MCLs are 4-10 ppt for the six PFAS compounds the EPA addressed, which are six of the most common and most studied PFAS compounds. Most of the bitching I've seen is about how much this will cost and that the new limits are too low. The conservative take on this is that there isn't enough evidence to support such low MCLs, although most people in the environmental industry feel that more and more research keeps coming out and will keep coming out (remember studying such small amounts of anything is difficult) to support these levels. On the other side of the spectrum, there's the consensus that this is just the beginning and that more and more regulations on PFAS will be needed.

And they're in the works! I saw a proposed rule by the EPA that would ban 12 (already defunct) PFAS substances from pesticides. It wouldn't really affect the current manufacturing of pesticides, but it would be a safeguard from letting them back into the manufacturing process in case of a conservative presidency.

If you're still here I'd like to end on the note that as our science improves, our understanding of how we have impacted the environment and our health will improve. We are constantly going to find out about the adverse effects of new chemicals or things that we may not even produce anymore, and that's a good thing. Over time we are going to make the world a healthier and safer place.

people joke about fandom shippers creating entire relationship dynamics out of two guys standing next to each other but have y’all ever seen fandom claim a ship has no chemistry and when you actually see this ship in canon it’s like, Fireworks

#especially when in tandem with hate of another ship that keeps posing itself as a rival of sorts #like dude you dont have to lie lift up your ships since when did we need canon to validate us #txt #i was lowkey thinking of laios and marcille as a romantic ship. like i wouldn’t say they have fireworks that’s generally speaking #but to say they have no chemistry is just Wrong. to say they do doesnt take away from falin and marcille i prommy #like it’s there man i kinda get it after reading the thang. none of it took from the yuri tho sooo what’s the ish #im ambivalent bc im 28 and it aint that serious. i just can read and analyze said words lol
