cups, glasses, bowls, anything that doesn’t have a spout and makes a mess every time you transfer liquids

Every time I spill something I’m reminded how much better lab glassware is (beakers etc)

I don’t get it

to be fair, I once tried to make up letters for a scavenger hunt and there’s only so many scribbles you can do before you run out

I would’ve hated dealing with this as a kid.

same, except i would love to bypass this as an adult

On you want your recycle bin emptied? Yeah, thats gonna cost you.

aka what we’ve already been doing to relatives

I bought a new drill (cord, does both hammer drill and regular)

Pretty nice so far, especially with concrete bits

meanwhile, me trying to get a feeling for how fast A GHz is by waving my arm as fast as I can:

someone has done a Mustard binge watch

at least it’s not yellow!

After receiving blowback he tripled down and then started lashing out at customers using official channels.

damn, i only followed the dramma for the first couple posts, do you mind posting a link to read the third one?

to be fair the phrase applies to both

nah, that’s generally frowned upon among the people who do chemistry at home both because it’s not economically viable, will get you in jail and it may cause further restrictions on chemicals, which nobody wants or needs

I mostly do energetics/explosives on a small scale and the occasional organic synthesis

if you want, there’s an amazing yt channel called Explosions&Fire which perfectly encapsulates the whole spirit of doing chemistry in your shed

hplc ftw

Yup, luckily in my case I got into amateur chemistry (tysm sciencemadness) but it pained me to see my friends not actually knowing anything and just memorizing everything by the letter

Maybe it was over last November when people decided that allowing a twice impeached fascist felon dictator to hold the highest office was an acceptable result as long as a thousand+ year turf scrabble between two theologically opposed peoples on the other side of the fucking planet remained unresolved?

Its even funnier because trump made the Gaza situation even worse, and back when the elections hadn’t started I posted a meme about it on hexbear and everyone went “muh Gaza” (i tried writing shit but it gets deleted by the mods immediatly, so much for “free speech” and anarchism lmao)

First of all, sorry for the harsh response, I was in a hurry and I probably passed off as a dickhead

secondly tho, from the video you sent yourself at 9:43 “Nitromethane, all by itself, is a high explosive, but it is so inert, it’s almost impossible to set it off”

And that’s what I (probably in a bad way) implied in my first message, nitromethane requires to be sensitized with something like ammonium nitrate (to make ANNM) or with ethylene diammine (to make PLX) (or really with any basic substance, even sodium hydroxide you get as a drain cleaner can work, but it gets too sensible and can detonate on its own while you work on it)

Here’s another video that shows nitromethane just plainly burning

Nitromethane doesn’t explode on it’s own under normal conditions
