Scotch as in the tape, not the whisky

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

  • Oh no

  • I'm too european to understand this, eli5 please?

  • someone has done a Mustard binge watch

  • ligma

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • "The only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down"

  • it is, but the graph is referring to pure caffeine, which (unless you crush up pills and do lines of it) is in minimal amounts in coffee

  • 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

  • It's not like they can rely of self sufficient solar panels, they just lobbied them out of existance with climate change denial

  • That's not balanced though

    4 CH3NO2 + O2 → 4 CO + 6 H2O + 2 N2

    also, why are we burning nitromethane?

  • tech bros reinvented tax funded free healthcare

  • Thanks for reminding me I still need to buy a gas mask

  • I trust that others will maintain proper naming conventions when publishing maps and not buckle under the pressure of a thin skinned toddler and his cult followers.

    Nah, they'll delay it by a couple months and people will have forgotten
