Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

It still can't electron push - here are some of it's attempts at peracid epoxidation.

The text description of the mechanism is not bad, but not perfect. Seems unable to connect that to images

That’s right @unm.edu
"In order for us to pay you your $100 fee, we will need to enroll you on our system. Please fill in this 5-page form, and send a completed tax form, and also a letter from your bank, both of which you will need to print out, scan, and upload." Probably best that I don't do a cost-benefit analysis.
