a new threat to our existence in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, April 1 2005 19:33 Profile Homepage #19 quote: Originally written by PoD person: Thuryl, I'm shocked! Water's bonds are covalent and polar, not ionic (although... they're damn close in a lot of ways, hence hydrogen peroxide rather than dihydrogen dioxide), so the atoms aren't really thought to be in any oxidation state. I'm aware that oxidation number in covalently-bonded compounds doesn't really correspond to a complete change in "ownership" of electrons. It's still a useful abstraction. (There's no such thing as a 100% covalent or 100% ionic bond anyway; bonds are classified by their degree of covalent or ionic character.) quote: The convention for covalently bonded non-organic molecules is to always include the prefixes, so dihydrogen monoxide it in fact is. It could well be that you're right. My area's biology, not chemistry, which means most of the nomenclature I have to deal with is for complex organic compounds which have rules all of their own. (Not that I don't mess those up too, on occasion. Ask me to tell xylose from erythrose based on their Haworth projections and I'll start gibbering incoherently.) quote: EDIT: It's "oxide" whether the oxygen is actually in that full -2 state or not, I believe. You're forgetting about peroxides (-1) and superoxides (-1/2). quote: EDIT 2: Of course, convention could easily differ between Australia and America. Could be. There are at least two nomenclatural systems I'm aware of (IUPAC and the other one), although I couldn't honestly tell you the difference between them.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, April 1 2005 18:30 Profile Homepage #16 Well, it's not always a metal that goes first (you can't in this case, obviously, because hydrogen isn't a metal.) You use the name of the atom or group of atoms in the higher oxidation state first (in this case, hydrogen, which is +1), followed by the name of the atom or group of atoms in the lower oxidation state (in this case, a single oxygen atom in the -2 oxidation state, which is called "oxide".) -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

Lord Putidus (The Darkness) Released! in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, April 1 2005 18:24 Profile Homepage #16 The scenario's for a level-1 party. If you followed the instructions in the readme, it probably took you 2 minutes to make it. It really isn't that much of a loss for you to just make a new one. You probably threw a bunch of skill points toward training in Thrown Missiles and First Aid as you gained levels, so your party's going to be a bit messed up anyway. Besides, taking a party of Roman soldiers into other scenarios would mostly be bizarre and illogical. :P [ Friday, April 01, 2005 18:26: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, April 1 2005 18:05 Profile Homepage #14 The rules for naming chemical compounds are actually more complicated than that, but basically if a compound has only one common oxidation state and it's in it, it isn't necessary to use a prefix. The upshot is that you can just call water "hydrogen oxide" and still be correct. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

I do have considerable respect for the Catholics. At least they try to answer all these little questions, even if their answers sometimes end up sounding a bit silly. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

Custom Titles: How Did You Get Yours? in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, April 1 2005 12:45 Profile Homepage #60 quote: Originally written by -: I'm just wondering, do all of you high posters have lives? This community is pretty much my social life right here. I can't go to bars because in Victoria it's illegal to drive with any alcohol in your blood if you're under 21 -- and while technically I could go to a bar and not drink any alcohol, there wouldn't be very much point. (And the place I live is pretty remote, so taking public transport home isn't a very viable option.) I don't go to cinemas very often because it's cheaper to wait for the movie to go out on free-to-air. Restaurants are an even bigger waste of money. And I don't go to nightclubs because I hate music. But hey, let's make a deal. How about when you're involved in medical research that could improve the lives of thousands of people with autoimmune diseases and have relevance to the treatment of cancer sufferers, then you get to criticise the way I choose to spend my leisure time?

Member # 869	written Friday, April 1 2005 01:33 Profile Homepage #57 quote: Originally written by The Creator: So you dislike what they did, but you can't really explain why, and are of the opinion that it is impossible to explain why? (again, correct me if i'm wrong) Oh, I can explain why, but not in a way that'd necessarily be convincing to anyone else. Answering your second point would just lead to another ontology-fest centred around defining our terms, and I think we'd all have enough of those.

On The Possibility of Objective Morality in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, March 31 2005 23:55 Profile Homepage #55 quote: Originally written by The Creator: So Thuryl, you object to things the nazis did simply because you feel (not necessarily belive) they were wrong? Please tell me if I misunderstood you. Even to say that I "feel they were wrong" is putting it too strongly, because it implies I feel as if my feelings have applicability beyond myself. I just have a personal dislike for genocide and for those who support it, that's all. Consider undertakers as another example; even if I acknowledge that their work is necessary to keep society together and thus beneficial to me, I'd rather not attend a dinner party with one, because they're creepy. quote: Here's what I belive the universally objective perfect moral system for all human beings is, "Love your neighbor as you do yourself." (neighbor in this context meaning everyone, but you probably knew that) I would be interested as to what questioning you don't think it could stand up to. Or were you looking for one that was achievable? So people who hate themselves to the point where they want to take their own lives ought to try and take as many other people out with them as possible?
