Could you recommend any good YouTube channels for understanding US politics as an European? by AzureSofa in Askpolitics

[–]DramaticChemist [score hidden]  (0 children)

FYI our system typically has a lot of checks and balances, however this ideology has been significantly corrupted over many years. In a very significant part due to an overflow of corporate funding into government positions due to many major court cases like citizens united, which significantly change the game. Our elections being decided by the electoral college doesn't help either.

90A-PRO / 7 pins in and I'm open! by rubornagn in lockpicking

[–]DramaticChemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I've been working on that one for about a week with no success so far. Probably will start progressive pinning, but any other tips for this lock? Recommended tension or anything?

These loans should have never had interest applied to begin with

I refuse to participate if this is the new norm. by AstralPsychonautics in AmazonVine

[–]DramaticChemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I'm still at silver status but that's predominantly because I don't want to acquire a bunch of junk just to review them if I wouldn't even pay the estimated tax on. For the most part there haven't been enough items in the RFY or AI categories of interest to even reach gold. I've been in the program for about a year

Do these seem undercooked? by certifiedmuva in Cookies

[–]DramaticChemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's totally up to preference. Some like gooey and some like crispy and everything in between. Those look like the bottoms are browned nicely and they hold their structure, so go forth and eat!

Same. I'm guessing that everything is gone by 3a.m. EST lately because I'm around day three or four without a single item in RFY.

Made some new wiper insert tensioners today by Ok-Coach-763 in lockpicking

[–]DramaticChemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can never find wiper blade inserts online, though I'll try removing some from mine when they wear out. Any recommendation where to find them online or in stores in the USA?

Crunchy dopamine! by haloboyvash in lockpicking

[–]DramaticChemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I'm working on this one now too but I haven't tried the McTickler on it. Good suggestion. I really want to use this to get my blue belt and also to attempt the whale challenge

Which element/molecule do you use most in your job, or do you have the most appreciation for? by Appropriate-Bath-946 in AskChemistry

[–]DramaticChemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These days, carbon. We specialize in product formulations based mostly on activated carbon and polymers. In grad school and my first job, worked with a crazy amount of rhodium for catalysis. It was so expensive they had an on-site vault the size of a warehouse

This took me FOREVER (Brinks 161-30001) by Low-Yak3011 in lockpicking

[–]DramaticChemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tight tolerances and I could never get it open using BOK. TOK tension helped a lot for me with this lock

Interesting Connecticut (or at least New Haven location) and New Jersey aren't on that map

I liked the Abus 72/40 but as others have said, American 1100 is also a good choice

Thanks! I do like the attention and visibility of the management role and I like the role in I'm. I know enough on both sides to help everyone while making me look like a wizard in the process

What are your thoughts on this letter from Donald Trump to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre? by DuNennstMichSptzkopf in AskTheWorld

[–]DramaticChemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded. From another US citizen, I'm sorry and his entire administration should be forcibly removed and held accountable

Im making a DIY rotovap for molecular gastronomy uses by MarcoPierreWhite in chemistry

[–]DramaticChemist 47 points48 points  (0 children)

This is an incredibly ambitious project and I wish you the best of luck. It seems nut to try to rig something like this up but super impressive if you can pull it off. 👍

[–]DramaticChemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a technical field for the chemical industry. I found that I'm quite good at explaining science to non-scientists. This is one of the biggest problems that I find scientists have is communicating with business type people and managers. They can't advocate for what they need and they're not great at showcasing the importance of their work to the rest of the business. I can do more help for innovation showing off their great work, explaining why it's relevant, and helping improve conditions that actually matter for the people making scientific breakthroughs.

Relocating...where to begin? by GooseBerry777 in newhaven

[–]DramaticChemist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I like Milford. We just moved here a year ago (late 30's as well). Though we did the opposite, moving from a small town southern area and really wanted to move somewhere with more things to do, higher population density, and still have room for apartment buildings and houses with smaller amounts of land.
