the kind of cartoonishly evil entitlement you must have to think you can just destroy OUR moon. everyone’s moon. the moon humans have looked up at and admired for thousands of years. who the fuck are you to flippantly blemish our moon forever

Dr. Wetterhahn was following all the proper protocols at the time and had even stepped in make this standard so that a student of hers wouldn’t have to put themselves at risk.

At the time it was used as a standard for calibration of what is functionally an MRI. The toxicity of dimethylmercury was known, though not quite to that extent. The larger issue that wasn’t known was that it would penetrate through the gloves she was wearing. At the time,

La pregunta es. Para qué sirve ese químico tan peligroso ?????????

Turn into styrofoam all on its own in an uncontrolled and violent manner. I myself have worked with reagents that: catch on fire in the air, explode violently with water, generated chlorine gas. I have worked with poisons such as cyanides. Each of these has a valuable use case.

I found out this morning that you can take a cat out of the wild, but not the wild out a cat when I was woken up by my 2 yr old former strays chirping followed by a SAR (Surface-to-Air Rodent) being launched across my room at a high velocity.

Wool by Hugh Howey and Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. They were the books that got me back into reading. The most recent one was Midnight Tides by Steven Erikson

Very cool! This will last the world 3 hours!

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: The largest single flotilla of oil tankers and other vessels since the war began is now leaving the Strait of Hormuz via Iran's shipping lane, with 10 Japan-linked vessels including 6 VLCCs carrying ~12 million barrels of Saudi, UAE, and Qatari crude after being trapped for ~100 days, per LSEG data via Reuters.

This is the first major Japan-related crude flow since the war began, with the vessels explicitly using Iran's approved corridor after Iran's IRGC shut down the US-backed Omani corridor on Saturday, which now sees only very limited vessel transit.

Alchemists literally named alcohol ‘Water of Life’.

Alcohol has no single benefit. Zero. Not one.

The Trump administration knows all about wet farts and it wants the US to know about them too.

The Trump administration has eliminated all regulations on greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles.

How do you have a STATE fair at the FEDERAL level?

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

President Donald Trump's highly touted "Great American State Fair" got off to a rough start Wednesday night, with NBC News estimating only slightly over a thousand attendees showed up for the opening rally on the National Mall.

20 million barrels of oil isn't the context that matters to daily life. It's a large number that can be conveniently ignored. 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine is a chemist's favorite molecule, even when they claim it's alcohol. It's probably one of yours too.

Would you like to know more?

[Wyatt Wilcox @Zamamee60]

That’s great! If all of that oil flowed to the US, it would be used up in little over a day. But it flows the world over. Go watch Star Wars from end to end. You'll learn the full lesson of an oil crisis by about the time of the 4th movie, just around the time that oil is gone.

[Secretary Chris Wright @SecretaryWright]

In the last 24 hours, 72 ships and 20 million barrels of oil have transited through the Strait of Hormuz — fully restoring pre-conflict flows.

Thank you President Trump and the U.S. military!

[Wyatt Wilcox @Zamamee60]

It's all obfuscated. Chemists like hiding details. Take an alchemical text or a chemical patent. A weaving of irrelevancy and relevancy into one text.
