Re: Alcohol and sex?
Alcohol is a depressant and this makes it harder to stay errect, finish the job like a professional or even be bothered to try to 'get some' in the first place.
Some people turn nasty, some get maudlin, some become party animals. It just depends on what we are like with our frontal cortex dialled down; when we have no inhibitions.
You're lucky, I know of a few people who turn into total twats when drunk.

The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.
-Attributed to Buzsaw Message 53
Moreover that view is a blatantly anti-relativistic one. I'm rather inclined to think that space being relative to time and time relative to location should make such a naive hankering to pin-point an ultimate origin of anything, an aspiration that is not even wrong.
Well, Larni, let's say I much better know what I don't want to say than how exactly say what I do.

Re: Computer Help?
I've never found any way to get internet access again except to restart my computer. There must be a better way, does anyone know of one?
Have you tried right-clicking the network icon? On XP it gives me the option to 'Repair', which will save you having to type ipconfig commands, I'd be surprised if they took that functionality out.

chemistry question
Is hydrogen sulfide really amphoteric and if it is, give examples of how it acts as a base and an acid.

It can either donate or accept a proton.

Re: chemistry question
I have already seen that wiki article. I can see where it can give a proton away, but I haven't found anything on the web where it shows that it can accept a proton. Thanks for answering though.

Re: chemistry question
It only says that hydrosulfuric acid is amphoteric. It does not tell us what it becomes after it accepts a proton. I assume it accepts the proton from hydronium. It would have to become h3s after proton acceptance. I don't see that compound listed anywhere on the internet. BTW, I scored 100% on the score at the bottom.

Re: chemistry question
If you protonate sulfuric acid (and you'd have to use a hell of a strong acid to get it to accept a proton) you get trihydroxyoxosulfonium, a cationic species.
Technically sulfuric acid is amphoteric but in practice I've never heard of it used as a base. Strong acids are weak, weak bases. I suspect the dissociation constant of that third proton is too high to be accurately characterized (but I could be full of shit.)

Re: chemistry question
This is the best answer yet. I just couldn't see how it could accept another proton because it's valence is 6a on the periodic chart. H2S has full valence shells, and so it will be difficult to force another hydrogen onto it.

Re: chemistry question

It may be the worst answer yet, since you asked a question about hydrogen sulfide and I told you all about sulfuric acid. Sorry. But the answer is mostly the same: With a strong enough acid you can make hydrogen sulfide act as a base and form hydrogen sulfonium; it's an analogous compound to the hydronium that water forms when it acts as a base. It's a lot less stable than hydronium, apparently. Sulfoniums are more easily formed with larger, electron-donating substituents that stabilize the sulfur's positive charge. (I think. To tell the truth, I'm shit at organic chemistry.)

Re: chemistry question
Well, hydrogen sulfonium is what I could not find on the web. Without subscripts, it doesn't pull up on google I guess. The only question left is what acid is strong enough to make hydrogen sulfide act as a base?

Re: chemistry question
try googling sulfonium.

n. 1. (Chem.) A hypothetical radical, SH3, regarded as the type and nucleus of the sulphines.

Re: chemistry question
I did google sulfonium and I have read your response. My questions are still unanswered though. If there was an answer, I failed to see it.

I have found no way to solve the problem, which now occurs so frequently that I have had to switch to using an inferior computer which however has the merit of a wire running directly to the modem.
