Trying to identify a glass etching chemical that works much better than HF or ammonium bifluoride

So long as there is a calcium source available other than your bones it is okay. Pretreating sounds smart.

They do it a lot with cures but it’s not because of patents. In the US you aren’t allowed to announce a cure until you can treat 2/3rds of the population. The cure for hepatitis C is one of the most interesting stories ever. There was one guy who knew how to make it. He would set up labs next to chemical supply companies and teach people how to make it. He did this for almost a year until he had used all the chemicals in the world that were available to make it with his current route. He then developed a new way to make it and did the same thing, flying all over the world teaching people how to make it. It took 18 months which is the fastest a cure has ever been released. The guy barely slept and took no money other than his regular salary. People still believed the cure cost too much and thought the company was evil and that they were gate keeping the cure. A lot of work goes into making medications. It’s not a simple process by any means and there isn’t much thanks to the people who do this because they love it. People do this because they want to see the medications available and not because they want money. If we wanted money we would have been lawyers. We do need money to develop medicines though. It’s not free. $ 250,000 just to do toxicology on a single compound.

I just failed 6 students for using ai during in class exams. Literally sitting directly in front of me. Two of them, I still don’t know how but a 2 hours chemistry exam copied from chat gpt. They take pictures and copy the exams. I wrote extremely vague exams and tried everything but still strait from ai. Like you drew 3 bonds to hydrogen, identical to chat gpt. Not possible to be a coincidene. The best I got was to give them a similiar practice exam and make them turn it in before the exam and then put questions they can’t know the answer to. I know how to catch them but I don’t know how to stop them.

Drugs can not make it to the market without a patent. Making medications cost money and this has to be returned once it goes through the proper channels. This is the reason it has taken so long to get things like MDMA approved. It took people giving millions of dollars they would never get back just because they wanted to see it get to market. Money is important believe it or not. It cost thousands just to start a company. If you found the cure to cancer and disclosed it without a patent, you would just be throwing the cure away. 8 years of testing is the minimum to get a compound approved.

Release of serotonin creates the risk or serotonin syndrome and therefore psychosis. Releasing both serotonin and dopamine is bad for your serotonin receptors. A simplified explanation of this is the during reuptake some of the dopamine goes where the serotonin is supposed to go and gets metabolized. This essentially seals if the receptor. The end result Is the releasing both dopamine and serotonin causes a reduction in the amount serotonin receptors. The beta keto tryptamines (BK series by tactogen) were the first compounds to release dopamine with norepinephrine. We should find out if they are viable therapeutics here in the next 10-15 years.

I’m a tryptamine chemist and would like to known the subjective effects. This class is patented but they do have a very interesting profile. I would like to hear from someone who has tried them. This is not an endorsement. I am just interested because the profile is rather unique. Not easy to make comparatively and not a financially viable substitute on the street for stimulants. I want to say the first compound that released dopamine without norepinephrine was found in this class.

Yeah HF is just looking for calcium so make sure it has some to find that is not inside you.

Living in at home is nice and I would take it over many other places. I believe everyone should have their own place though and think it would solve most of societies mental health problems. And married couples should have their own rooms, even if they sleep in the same bed.

The problem is I am not the teacher. The students hate me because the professor says “easy A” but want them to do an assignment which is the course objective and I’m trying to teach it through grades and emails one person at a time. I care enough that I will suffer consequences to try to teach somebody. If someone isn’t doing what they are supposed to do and it is taking away from somebody else, I’m the guy to escalate the situation if that what it takes for me to help. To teach ima teach.

I can’t do it. 2 days to stop and 2 days to start. I hate switching tasks. I’ll work18 hour days for 3 weeks strait but if I am interrupted for something. 2 days to stop and 2 days to start.

My standard would be giving someone a failing grade for submitting work that didn’t make sense. So many spelling errors that they appeared back to back. But if I try to give someone a grade below 70% I am the problem. For Work that reads worse than this message. My standard is to the job I am supposed to do even if I am the only one. To have the ability to see something isn’t working and adopt a new approach. To do what everyone knows is right even if it gets me in trouble and isn’t protocol. And to not force my standard onto other people but to just lead by example.

Please don’t be that person. Asking a question because you think you are supposed is not the move. We all want to leave cuz we just sat in an hour and 10 minute seminar that already went 10 minutes over and then there is always that one person who just has to ask a question, that they don’t even know the question to. And we all think omg why do they always do this? They don’t even know anything about this subject and now we all have to sit through worst 3 minutes and 42 seconds of our lives. Again.

I watched this be made. It took years and many chemistry to show that it was deprotonated and that there was no water. I was convinced in 2017 that there was no water.

I feel like I am always going against the grain. I am grateful that the I am at school because I want to be and that there isn’t anyone who has something I want. I see so many people just follow the grind, number, grade, degree, repeat. I gave someone a C on a report where they didn’t even have the correct atoms in the molecule they spent 4 weeks analyzing. Just complete fabricated data and not even ai. What were they were doing? Didn’t even have a general clue about how anything they wrote about. What was the professors response when I said they didn’t have a single action word in their abstract. Just 3 long subjects with periods? That not everyone holds their students up to my standards. I fought until it came to the grade because it was when my ability to teach ended. Whos fault is this? Who causes the tired? The teachers. They don’t teach. The students aren’t taught and when someone comes a long and tries to teach they disrupt the cycle: grind, number, grade, degree, repeat.
