1 AnswerChemistry8 years agoI think I screwed my test. What now?
Well, after a really intense (well, at least in my opinion) revision, and after a seemingly easy test, I realised I might have totally screwed it up, after comparing question answers with classmates and counting back at my careless mistakes from memory. What should I do now? Study the same thing again, even though I have already remembered it by heart? Or slack (I know I should study again, but I feel like slacking lol)
2 AnswersOther - Education8 years agoIs it true acid and alkali reaction produce heat?
If the above is true, then does heat production only result from acid-alkali reaction, or is it the same with acid-base reaction?
2 AnswersChemistry8 years agoDoes proticity of acid indicate its strength?
Please help quick, it's revision for a test coming soon!
Is it true what a friend told me: That the greater the proticity of an acid (like, a tribasic compared to a monobasic) the greater the strength of acid? Then what about HCl (It's a monobasic, but still a strong acid?)
Please help, I'm really confused.
2 AnswersChemistry8 years agoWhere can I hear Switzerland's full ending song? (Hetalia)?

1 AnswerComics & Animation9 years agoWhere should I let a rough collie sleep?
We are going to get a Rough Collie (a Lassie) of about 2-3 years from a friend just a few days from now, but we are having trouble deciding where it should sleep and what it should sleep on. Could it sleep on a cushion or pillow?
My parents don't want it to sleep in any of our rooms, because of all the fur, so my mom suggested it sleep in the service balcony. The service balcony is separated by only a wall from the study room, and there is a window so you can see into the study room from the service balcony. There is also another window on another wall of the service balcony that looks to the outside. The problem is, the service balcony seems pretty cramp to me, with the washing machine in the same place, and I was wondering if it would be too cold. The service balcony is also connected to the kitchen...
So would this service balcony be a good place for it to sleep, or are there any other better places?
Sorry, if I seem inexperienced; this is my first dog. (God, I'm so excited)
Also, are there any other advice you would give for taking care of such a dog?
3 AnswersDogs9 years agoWhere can I watch the movie "Fox and the Hound"?
Can someone provide a link for this movie? I finished watching "Fox and the Hound 2" and I loved it, so I went around to find the first movie, but I can't find it on YouTube, so I was wondering if anybody else knows links to where I can watch it...
2 AnswersMovies9 years agoAny manga, anime or book recommendations?
Just wondering are there manga, anime or books you would like to recommend? I know I can use google, but I just want to see what sort of manga or anime people find nice and would recommend. I particularly like action or mystery, with maybe slight horror, but please, no full blown horror. I can handle gore, but not too much. For horror, Higurashi Watanagashi is my limit (Spoiler alert: I find the plot ingenious, but the part where Keiichii hallucinates Mion coming to kill him scared the crap out of me.). For gore, Aphorism is the limit in manga, but for anime the limit is Naruto Shippuden. I can handle echii but I'd rather avoid those. Yaoi or yuri is ok.
I like plots where they give you little hints at the start, or they show you stuff that appear to have no links at all, but they somehow link together at the end. In other words, twists!
Basically, mangas or animes like Death note, Aphorism, Kuroshitsuji...etc.
I also like anime and mangas like Fruits Basket and Ouran Highschool Host club, so some like those would be nice too...
4 AnswersComics & Animation9 years agoWhat is wrong with/how do I correct the phrase "my hopes flared up"?
Please, this is for a question in my English assignment. Basically I have to correct the following phrase and present a short write-up explaining the error/why I changed what I did. So, what is wrong with the phrase "my hopes flared up" and how do I correct it?
4 AnswersHomework Help9 years agoAny RPGs/anime/manga similar to Aphorism?
So I got stuck onto this manga called Aphorism. Basically, it's about people in a school who have to survive the horrors there before they can graduate, with the help of an ability chosen before the actual fight, which they have to use throughout their year(s) there to survive.
I got really psyched after reading a few chapters, so i was wondering if there were any RPGs (text-based) with about the same storyline. Or, if no RPGs, any anime or manga like it (as far as I know, there is no anime for Aphorism, right?)
Comics & Animation9 years agoAre there herds of horses/lots of stray dogs in Egypt?
I was thinking of writing a fiction story about two herds of horses in Egypt, then I realised I didn't even know if two herds of horses could survive in Egypt. And the story also has lots of stray dogs popping out here and there (eventually a pack of strays at the end). So...are there any of those in Egypt?
Also, are there any horses ranches in Libya?
1 AnswerOther - Education9 years agoHow to get someone to stop bothering you?
There's this guy I used to have a crush on, but after hearing him calling me names with a bunch of other boys (right in front of me, laughing and gesturing and looking at me like I was so much of an idiot to not understand what they were saying), so I hate him now.
At first I thought of getting revenge on him, but I didn't want to get in trouble, so decided against it (the last person that was impolite to him got in serious trouble with the teacher). So I decided to just try acting cold but still polite when talking to him (nodding only and replying only "yes", "no" and "not telling you", waving but not replying if he says hello. Besides, I'm the sort if person who can't help but be polite, even if only a little). And now he's being the most annoying trash in the world.
He keeps acting friendly in a sickening voice, standing freaking close, keeps calling my name in class and keeps, for some reason, complimenting me on my shoes. Like he has nothing better to do! What he does is so obviously fake and, please, he still calls me names sometimes when I'm obviously in hearing range.
How do I get him to stop bothering me? Without getting in trouble?
More info: He is in the same school and class as me, so please don't try to tell me to avoid him since that's almost impossible. Yes, we practically sit smack beside each other--only one seat away, unfortunately, due to the teacher's seating arrangement.
1 AnswerOther - Family & Relationships9 years agoHow to draw identical and repeated stuff?
I was thinking of drawing my own little manga strip and I got the basics of manga drawing learned, but I can't seem to draw the characters to look the same in each frame as in appearances. They just look strangely different. So any tips on getting them to look the same? I was also thinking of *someday* drawing twins (it's a goal/fantasy) so please if anyone could help?....
