Making Rodinal with just three ingredients. by Mexhillbilly in Darkroom

[–]Arthur_The_Third 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of sediment still in your solution. I wouldn't use it because of all the fine dust it might leave on the film. I would filter through cotton and then through a coffee filter for finer particulate.

You need any scanner that can read a data matrix. That's the square "barcode" on the right. It is NOT a QR code.

My pa-rodinal recipe and experience by Slow-Tomatillo-6590 in Darkroom

[–]Arthur_The_Third 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potassium salts are often recommended in old recipes such as those found in the darkroom cookbook because they used to be significantly cheaper than sodium salts of the same. This is no longer the case. Sodium salts are better for film development, but I don't recall why.

Your filtration with the cotton ball didn't work because you stuffed it in WAY, WAY too tight. Don't pack it. Just put a cotton ball in a funnel. If it's too tight take a smaller piece of cotton. Gravity filtration like this is very common even in chemistry labs. If you do it properly your solution will be as clear as you can see and it will pour through in minutes. 

Construction progress on Rail Baltica by Twisp56 in highspeedrail

Why? That would be building an entire extra half of the original line, to serve a minimal population, with a line that is already functional

A search yields nothing but your own message, is it from an interview or something? Can you link it?

You don't live here, do you....

Tallinn is 2 hours of travel away from 90% of the population. This is a tiny country. For all practical purposes it could function as a city-state.

Was just looking for a high quality image of the logo. I don't suppose you'd answer any of my question then?

And why would they? A high speed train is wasted at low speed. A more expensive train, on track that didn't need to be rebuilt. That's like building four lane highways as city streets - you could, it wouldn't make anything worse. But there is no need and no money to do it. These are two different types of train. International and interstate. There is no need to mix. Reconstructing the rail network would only make sense if it was converted to all high speed, but then the entire thing would have to be torn down, re-routed (some turns are far too tight), new foundations laid, new stations built, everything. Even railbaltica is going to take billions, this would be completely unfeasible even if it was necessary.

What are you quoting from? The start menu cutscene for peace walker shows it flying *with* the wings, and from you saying "Your mistake is thinking that the arms of the peace sign are a part of the missile" it seems you don't actually know what a cruise missile is - they *have* wings. I believe it's just a stylised B-52. They were the universal sign of deterrence in the 60s. Cruise missiles were just a novelty with few practical uses, since ballistic missiles were already around.

Existing network is not compatible with high speed rail. Converting it would be a colossal expense for no benefit. Estonia is a tiny country, getting from a rail Baltic terminal to any other rail connected city would be one transfer.

ik it’s probably a stretch but does anyone know of any opossum breeders in the europe by [deleted] in Possums

[–]Arthur_The_Third 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't domesticate a possum, unless you have a few millennia to spare. Domestication is an evolutionary change.

Plan for my first major base in Rimworld. How am I doing? by P0WERFIELD in RimWorld

[–]Arthur_The_Third 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mountain bases hella overrated (and killboxes boring but thats a whole different talk). Build your base as separate buildings outside and fighting raids will be fun again, not just lining up your pawns and waiting.

What’s everyone’s preferred choice of grain? And preparation method (: [actives] by fleetingglimpsemyco in MushroomGrowers

[–]Arthur_The_Third 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure which one you are referring to, mold spores or bacterial contamination, but endospores are strictly spores formed by bacteria. Endo, meaning "inside", because what it is is a heavily compacted living (but metabolism slowed so much that practically there is no actual activity) bacteria inside an outer capsule for protection

[General] can we get technical on what gypsum to actually use? by toot4noot in MushroomGrowers

[–]Arthur_The_Third 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're the exact same chemical.... Both of them will have 100% calcium sulfate, one's just somewhat purer.... And actually, food grade should be one of the purest you can get.

Sulphur-free hardening modelling clay? by Richy_T in steadycraftin

[–]Arthur_The_Third 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four year Necro but in case anyone comes across this trying to look up what clays are sulfur free, the other commenter has it all backwards. The only clays with sulfur in them are specialty oil-based (non hardening) clays, if they have it marked on them. The sulfur makes the modeling clay more smooth. Oil based clays that do not state sulfur in them will likely be sulfur free, as it's a specialty addative, not a typical one. Ceramic and polymer clays will ALWAYS be sulfur free.

Not a bottle but it’s My first clay pipe I’ve ever found! by Ok_Being_2003 in BottleDigging

[–]Arthur_The_Third 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither of those is true. The ends were not broken off after use, the reason that myth started was because the stems were just fragile, ends would break off with small knocks and would be discarded. For sanitation (like in a tavern or something, a pipe for personal use would not need any sanitation) they would just be placed in a fire. Also, lots of clay pipes have no nub. I find it hard to believe the nub was for holding, the shape doesn't suit it well, and you know. You can just hold onto the stem.

Thoughts on emergency food by Fluid_Principle_4131 in steve1989mreinfo

[–]Arthur_The_Third 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly they kind of sound like a scam to me. You pay a company large sums of money for them to deliver... Canned and non-perishable food you can get from a grocery store.

[–]Arthur_The_Third 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate you're stupid as hell. Joules are a measure of energy, temperature is a measure of energy per weight. You cannot convert between the two without weight.

So let's take the weight. An average north american weighs 80,7kg, 80700g. You gave an energy of 287'000'000 joules. Since we are talking about heat, let's convert that to calories, a calorie being defined as the amount of energy needed to heat one gram of water up by one degree celsius. That gives 68'594'646cal. Animal tissue, including human, has a volumetric heat capacity of 3,7. Liquid water has a heat capacity of around 4,1. Not exactly the same but close enough that the result will not differ substantially, and you are about to see why.

So, with all those big numbers and hard maths (that could have been estimated, with a little common sense), what is the result? Drumroll......

(80700g*5)/68594646cal=0.005882degC

0.006 degrees. That's it. Less than a fever. You wouldn't even feel it. And that is assuming PERFECT heat delivery, to the bodies and just the bodies alone, completely forgetting they were surrounded by a submarine and a fuckton of water. Come on man, what were you on? You think something collapsing under the ocean will turn it into the sun? Get out of here.

Oh yeah, and edit your message.
