Torka posted:What differentiates chemistry from physics, as fields of study? Is there a lot of overlap? That's a very general question with many possible answers because they are both huge fields of study. The biggest overlap may be the composition of the atoms and molecules themselves, which is one area of study. Chemistry deals more with how elements and molecules react with each other. Physics deals more with using atoms to figure out how stuff in our universe works, like with the Large Hadron Collider. I'm sure someone else can add to this explanation and correct my mistakes.

Are evaporative coolers any good? I'll describe my situation then perhaps someone can comment: - British summer heat levels, so up to 25C at most - For a room 3m x 4m - With 3 computers & 4 LCD monitors in it Would one be effective at all? I don't want to spend more than £100 and I saw this sort of thing: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4250399/Trail/searchtext%3EAIR+CONDITIONER.htm

Evaporative coolers work best when there is little to no humidity at all. Here in Arizona, lots of houses have them, but we all know that by the time the rainy season's getting near and the humidity is over 10% or so, they're nigh on useless. The nice thing about them in arid climates is that they actually add a little moisture to the air so it's not so bone-dry in your house.

Do places like Pearl Vision do glasses repair? Someone stepped on my glasses last night and mangled them, so I'll need a professional to bend them back into place. However, my eye doctor is a private practice and is only open during business hours. I'd like to get it done during the day tomorrow. Can't find anything about it online.

thank you. Also seems like it's in parentheses if it's an independent clause or is longer than a few words.

You didn't ask because you already know, but for anyone else reading this thread... When do you use i.e., and when do you use e.g., and what do they mean? Too often I've seen sentences like: "Writing instruments (i.e., crayons, pencils, pens, etc.) should be ..." WRONG!

If I were to run my oven's self-clean with a pan (or other metal kitchen ware) inside, would that also clean them, or is your standard oven pan not intended to take that sort of heat?

I feel like it would be fine. I have tried to run the self cleaner on my oven several times now, and it set my smoke detectors off because it was I guess burning crap off the inside. No matter how much I clean it first the smoke detectors always go off.

I just got a drop of hair removal cream on my stuffed bunny rabbit.  I cut off the fur on and surrounding the drop but it still smells like it, is it okay to run it through the wash with my other clothes tomorrow and stick it back on my bed, or is my bunny a goner?(this is the lamest and maybe cutest question ITT)  VVV Yay! Thanks for that, I really had no clue how this stuff works so I was worried it might eat through the fur or something VVV the party god fucked around with this message at 10:46 on Apr 17, 2011 |

Hair removal cream generally works by breaking down the disulphide bonds and keratin in the follicle and causing it to release the hair root (see depilatory creams for more info). It will not affect your bunny, save for maybe changing the color where it contacted, you probably just could've rinsed it off.

I've been talking to several doctors about getting laser eye surgery. One doctor tells me I have an unstable cornea and that LASIK is out of the question and PRK is risky. But other doctors tell me it's perfectly safe to do LASIK. Who should I trust?

Can some one tell me the proper way to cite a US Supreme Court case? The case in question is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meredith_v._Jefferson_County_Board_of_Education , but it was decided along with Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1, which was the "lead case". Do I cite the lead case, or the not-lead case (the one I am actually talking about). IANAL, and this is going way over the head of my MLA style book. I think you can cite P v Seattle as something like: Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School Dist. No. 1, 551 U.S. 701 551 being the volume number, and 701 being the page number. But then how do I do the same for M v J, since its supreme court decision was lumped in with P v S?

If the doctor who said you have an unstable cornea is the doctor who's known you the longest, I would go with his opinion, honestly. Definitely be up-front when getting a second opinion, though -- say something like "My optometrist said that I have an unstable cornea and cannot get LASIK, but I'm looking for second opinions."

My friend just bought a plane ticket for next Tuesday to fly to Berlin. He's taking a backpack with a weeks or so worth of clothes, toiletries, a sleeping bag and his guitar. He speaks German and is planning on just wandering around and maybe getting a job at a hostel, but playing street music will be his main thing. I'm not trying to stop him, I'm wondering if any of you have any advice or experience that I can give that will make sure he doesn't end up sutured to some dude's rear end in a top hat and that he has a good time.

I've been trying to prove I can keep a large houseplant alive. also I want to use it to cover an outlet full of wires in my living room. they have all died horrible deaths. I try to keep my living room blinds drawn during the day, as I live in a very hot climate. a trickle of light enters through curtains enter, as the plant area is near a window. I guess they are not getting enough light. What is a common large leafy plant that doesn't require much light?
