I'm reading this article and I'm trying to follow the derivations, so far not having much success. They define the likelihood of a reactant Ci of proceeding to the next step, Ci+1 as Kp/(Kp+K-1). Intuitively, this makes some sense - Kp is the number of forward events per unit time, K-1 is the number of revers events, so the quantity they define comes to (forward events per unit time)/(total events per unit time) or the probability of a forward event. On board with that. They say however that the last step is different - here the equivalent constant is simply Kp/K-1. Couple of things to note - I do understand that the first constant is under a steady state assumption, and I realise that must break down for the last step since the final component doesn't go anywhere. I also recognise that Kp/K-1 is an equilibrium constant. I don't understand why the reasoning about forward events per unit time over total is no longer applicable however; it seems like this reasoning still applies.

Hello. Obligatory "long-time lurker, first time posting, English isn't my native language" disclaimer.
The following story is my attempt to do HFY in a realistic hard-scifi universe while also playing around with some interesting ideas that have been theorised for real-life space warfare. Those all come in latter part of the story, however; the first few paragraphs are intentionally unrealistic and lead the reader to the wrong conclusions, as it is written from the perspective of a not-so-bright alien race which had gotten stuck in a kind of local maximum of weapons technology.
I've done my best to proofread this, but I'm sure a few grammatical errors have slipped by. If you notice any please call me illiterate in the comments.
Any constructive criticism is welcome, especially in regards to my writing style. I myself feel it's a bit overly dramatic, but I decided to roll with it anyway.
Hope you enjoy.

Long before my kind left the embrace of our warm sandy world, we dreamed of the great beyond and its wonders. The void called to us like a desert begging to be crossed. We obsessed over it, let it guide us forward and fill our imagination. Our science, culture, politics; all dedicated to a single goal. The stars were ours. It was our destiny.
Our works of fiction spoke of horrible alien creatures; entire civilizations from worlds far away. But they were not like us - visionaries and builders. They were mere monsters seeking only to subjugate and destroy. We engaged them in grand battles over our beautiful world, always winning by the tip of our whiskers. The battling ships would fly around each other like birds of prey fighting in the sky, each attempting to outmaneuver the other. As our technology advanced the first battle in space eventually occurred, but the enemy were not bloodthirsty aliens set on our destruction; merely a rogue colony demanding independence. The battles that ensued were quite different from what we had imagined.
Without the interference of our planet's atmosphere, our sensors could now detect enemy craft at distances never before possible, and without atmospheric drag our projectiles could fly effectively forever. Unlike in our fictional stories; these battles took place over such distance that the opponents could not even see each other, their crew relying purely on the ship's sensors. Anyone foolis
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Notes
I am overdue by this one. But I had kebab a lot last new year's eve and I am now trying to draw with no experience from scratch. Plus I needed to catch up with my own projects like a potential campaign for PMMM! That, and playing a lot of 4X galactic games and multiplayer isn't kind on one's time budget.
But anyway! I am back! And here's another 5519 word chapter to sate your hunger from my adventures so far. I've had time to get in contact with someone who beta-reads. However, as of this moment they aren't available. so you have to deal with what i could put together for now. Still, between my new proofreading friends and my newfound interest in drawing on a phone. maybe you will get to see some fan-art of myself as Norfolk (Alsace and Facade dropped/transformed vers). as... bad as they might be?
And before you ask, I am well aware of these KMS shipboys and all these hyper-weapon-revolutions that are sometimes asked if they could have turned things around for germany in such a late stage. Sometimes it can be quite goat-laugh inducing. I mean. all APC shells tend to have HE filler. so the fact that H44 has a APHE shell is... logic engine error? Why not use RAPs and highly durable High Hardness steel armor of the 1970s that solved the fragility problem during WW2 with a softer basic plate?
And yes. I don't use RNG dices around here. It would be just too unpredictable. Instead, If Black Shift DOES happen (My partner is making a resolution to try and stick around this time) It will probably be more like Narrative RP where the situation. creativity with our abilities and careful planning, or simply abusing magical abilities to the extreme (Repurposing Axel Shooter or Madoka's homing arrow to target hypersonic SR-72 aircraft. weaponizing barriers as blunt energy hammers. rewriting shipgirl consciousnesses to force them to be loyal, Jump Pointing and Jump point Tunneling through walls. My partner has expressed an interest in using Yukari yakumo's powerset due to their background) will be more than enough. that is... Until Azur lane starts tampering with bizarre. barely predictable stuff.
"The Imperium of Man stands as a cautionary tale of what could happen should the very worst of Humanity's lust for power and extreme, unyielding xenophobia set in."

So you know how I started this mission out with at least 10 shipgirls. reinforced by another 30+ each fleet fr
... keep reading on reddit ➡Although she had mentally prepared herself for what was to come, when she really arrived at the scene, Ch'en was shocked.
In front of her were bodies of dead people.
"This..." She looked around in shock, "How can this happen?"
The officers of the L.G.D. who came with her couldn't believe their eyes.
"Who did this?!" Ch'en pressed her lips tightly, did not speak, just made a gesture to block the scene to her subordinate.
The officers of the L.G.D. immediately took action.
With them busy doing their job, she was standing at the entrance, frowning and observing the whole situation. She scanned the hall and something caught her attention.
A man that was wearing Rhodes Island's uniform. She immediately went to his side.
"There is someone alive here!" Ch'en found Ranger who had been treated by Lin Ye, resting on the wall not far from the scene. After checking how he was, she immediately barked out orders, "Get send him to the hospital, quick!"
The officer next to her nodded immediately. However, as soon as she got off the phone, she was stopped by Ch'en before she could make the call.
"Don't make an emergency call, it's too slow," Ch'en said. Then she pointed at the people nearest to her, "You two, hurry up and drive him to the hospital."
The guards in question were stunned.
"Us? But Sir Ch'en, he is already manned now," One of them tried to explain, "In addition, we are not enough-."
"Call Swire and ask her to transfer someone to deal with the scene!" Ch'en simply ordered, "Leave other things aside. Those thugs are much worse than the flood. We absolutely will not let them leave Lungmen."
Then she remembered something and called one of her team members, "Afa! Have you found the way they left?"
"Yes, Sir." An officer named Afa saluted Ch'en, ''I found some car marks at the back door of the building"
"Car marks?" Ch'en raised her eyebrows, "He wouldn't ..."
Ch'en left the scene immediately and walked to the back door of the building.
When she opened it, she saw car marks that were not washed away by heavy rain.
The tracks lead to the slum.
She immediately realized something, and couldn’t help holding her forehead, and muttered to herself.
"Is this guy a moron?"
Just when her voice fell off, she suddenly felt something on her waist.
She lowered her head subconsciously and saw, hanging on her waist, Chi Xiao was not acting normal.
It was trembling slightly.
As if it was about to itself out of its sheath at any moment.

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
