ok so

I just watched that and why 2 pairs of knees?

am I missing the joke?

give me my 30 minutes back

no, it’s definitely a Florence flask, trust trust

i’d argue all the alkalis should be yellow too

red wine glasses also usually have a flatter bottom so that you can heat it up if needed by holding it on your palm with the stem going under

TIL

it’s everywhere, but in the usa it’s exacerbated by the fact that most people have guns

while watching bodycam footage I often find myself thinking “just open the car door and cuff him, why hesitate and risk starting a car chase”

followed by the realization “oh, he has a gun”

how do you manage to step on a nail that’s perfectly vertical without knocking it over

sorry, I see you’ve made a typo there. The president is the man in black in the front of the photo, the one behind him is just a dog

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 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

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
