That's not a process of 'drying out' though. As Suxamethonium said, they become brittle when the polymer chains are degraded/broken up. This can happen due to overuse (i.e. too much mechanical strain), UV exposure or due to heat.

! Moderator Note John Cuthber and zapatos, Both of you stop with the attitude and just chill out.

! Moderator Note eric555, a reminder of something you were told a little while ago: ! Moderator Note We have asked multiple times that if you are going to post things here, that you start making some sense. This is a discussion board afterall, and it is very difficult to have a discussion with someone who no body can decipher with any real success.

And to make swansont's point an official one: ! Moderator Note pmb, if you want to start a thread about ideal clocks, do so. In the mean time, please stop derailing this thread with irrelevant material. Do not respond to this.

! Moderator Note Mike Infinity, Firstly, could you please post your speculations in the speculations forum. I'm moving this to speculations. If I've misinterpreted this post and you really don't mean it to be treated as having any sort of validity, then let me know and I'll move it back. Secondly, this is a discussion forum. Though videos are certainly nice supplements to an argument, they are by no means to be used as a substitute. Some people are not able to watch videos on YouTube, so please could you provide a written summary. Edit: ! Moderator Note Ah, I see. Well, since you now have two topics on this, I'll do you a favor and merge them both. In future, the rule is one thread per topic.

Your assignments for Prozac are spot on The second compound is a little tricky. You have the first two right, but the last two assignments are around the wrong way. Do you know how to treat double and triple bonds when you have to start looking at atoms distance 2 and 3 away from the stereocentre?

Sorry, I accidentally pressed the - button on one of your posts, questionposter. If someone could fix that, I would be eternally greatful. Also,

Not anymore it isn't.

Send Cap'n a message or wait for him to see this. You can't log in normally?

Well, if you understand it then what is it you're having trouble with when applying it?

Mosheh Thezion has been suspended for 7 days for thread hijacking and using threads to advertise his own site and threads.

! Moderator Note Mosheh Thezion, I suggest you read the above very carefully and take them on board in future. We do not allow preaching and I would ask that if you are going to reply to someone, that you read what they have said before you reply to it. You should also be aware that your pet theories don't belong anywhere expect Speculations. Since you already have a thread about this particular hypothesis of yours, I would ask that you confine it there and not introduce it anywhere else. I also ask that you...stop using...ellipses...every second...or third...word. It makes...things...very hard...to read.

! Moderator Note Mosheh, you've been told before not to advertise your website as it is against our rules. I've removed the links (again). I've also changed the formatting to make your post more readable. In future, could you please use multiple font colors and sizes sparingly. They're meant to be for emphasis of words, etc., not for entire paragraphs.

! Moderator Note Mosheh Thezion, leave the speculation out of main Science forum and stop hijacking the thread, please. Do not respond to this.

! Moderator Note Yeah, and when we get to El Dorado we'll be wealthy beyond our wildest dreams. Thread closed. You are not permitted to bring this topic up again. Don't say I didn't give you ample warning.

Last chance, bulla. Post your evidence or this gets closed.

What I want is for you to reply to these requests: ! Moderator Note Put up or shut up time. If you don't respond to the above, this thread gets closed.

! Moderator Note Careful how you tread, bulla. You've been asked questions that you are expected to answer and back up with evidence. I suggest you read the Speculation forum rules and become familiar with them. Staff here aren't out to get you. All we ask is that you follow our rules in the same way we expect all of our membership to do. Please do not respond to this modnote.

! Moderator Note Israel, your own recordings do not constitute news. This is, once again, your own speculation and as such, I'm moving this to the appropriate forum. This habit of posting your own hypothesis/speculation/nonsense into the main science forums has to stop. They don't belong there and it is in violation of our rules. Also, you realise humans don't have an exoskeleton, right?

Fulfilling the role of an effective tutor can sometimes be quite taxing. The entire point is to facilitate a proper understanding of the material and to do that you have to be able to identify where the gaps in their knowledge exist and target those gaps, often through a process of step-wise problem solving and a near constant use of the question, 'why?'. I often think it is better to get students to attempt to go through things before I give any detailed instruction as to how things should be done as it tends to engage their thinking a bit more. To answer your question, I would say that perhaps you have been spoon-feeding her too much. If she doesn't understand how to read a given paper and the course she is doing demands comprehension at the levels presented therein, then she needs to be shown how to read it rather than having it read for her. I would suggest that it may be worth your while going through the process of simplifying sources by getting Holly and Mike to do it with you and setting them the task of rewriting one outside of your tutoring hours. Yeah, no kidding. Where I am, that amount of tutoring would have earned me a neat $1680. And that's at my old private tutoring rate, which is considerably lower than what I get paid now. I tend to agree with this. Given what you've said, I don't think laziness is an issue. If this is something that she really wants to do then I would keep encouraging her, but you will need to stress that she is going to need to put in a lot of work to come to terms with the course content and any employment she hopes to derive from it. With this in mind, I don't think it is ethically responsible of you to continue to do as much work on her behalf as you have been. My opinion is that you need to guide her to a point where she can do this work her self, if at all possible.

That reaction is a bit more tricky than a simple one step oxidation. Have you looked at the rest of them?

No mistake, the answer is in there. It would be prudent for you to give yourself a definition of what a reducing agent is as well as what it does and then go through and see if any of the listed compounds can act in such a capacity.

! Moderator Note owl, there are only so many times staff are going to repeat themselves. Consider yourself suspended. Everyone else, please try get back on topic. I'd rather not have this discussion end up as 20 pages of back and forth about specific and not-particularly-relevant examples.

owl has been suspended for 7 days for constantly hijacking and derailing threads with nonsense he was told not to bring up again. Admittedly, this has been a long time coming.

Bulla, you should be able to add text now.
