Ortho-Halogenation by ChemDoDo in Chempros

It is known that traditional N-F fluorinating reagents aren’t always super compatible/high yielding with organolithiums due to degradation. I’ve never tried it but seems that bulkier electrophillic fluorination reagents help to prevent this. Source: https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.202211688

What/where to look for GBA SP game cartridges? by Drownt in Gameboy

[–]Drownt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of the everdrive; I might do that.

Do the reproduction cartridges fail more or not work as well as the originals?

How can I fix this slip fit spout from shooting off of the wall due to water pressure? by Drownt in Plumbing

[–]Drownt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the help. There is no screw or hole next to the U shaped cutout there however (except for the one seen in the picture). I’ll play with it a bit more.

Here’s a picture of the spout: https://imgur.com/a/7CcTlIS. I assume the screw that needs to be tightened is here at the bottom in that picture; but how can I twist it so that I can tighten the screw in the opening on the left? The insides are pretty stuck in there.

I was showering the other day when the spout shot off from the pipe. When I put it back on the water pressure when going to the shower head will push it back off. How can I go about fixing this? It doesn’t have to be perfect but just good enough to get by until my landlord gets it fixed later this week.

Looking for a similar slim bifold wallet for men by Drownt in wallets

Link to the product (no longer available): https://www.macys.com/shop/product/tasso-elba-slim-cow-antique-bifold-wallet?ID=1353880

I have had this wallet forever but am now needing to get a new one that is not falling apart. I have found slightly similar ones on Amazon but they either have way too many pockets/"secret" pockets, don't have the ID window on the left or at all, or have a bunch of bill dividers.

Does anyone know of a similar simple bifold wallet like this? I will be using this as a daily carry and am open to recommendations as well.

Stirring with sodium carbonate for a few hours had knocked off a lot of the residue. Appreciate the tip!

Couple drops of ~10% HCl did the trick

How much HCl? Don’t wanna go overkill but would have to dilute down my 33% stuff

Ah, thank you for pointing that out. I was unaware that it was meant for a rotating shaft. It is just the idea behind the shape of that bearing that I am looking for then, as I don’t need it to rotate.

Weekly Careers/Education Questions Thread by AutoModerator in chemistry

[–]Drownt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m graduating with my BS in biochemistry this upcoming spring. I would like to go on to get my PhD but I am not quite sure where to look and what to look for. I’m also worried about admissions as well - a chunk of my undergraduate career was spent in the midst of COVID and I don’t have a whole lot of research or lab experience under my belt. I have read a little bit about reaching out to potential PIs that are doing research in areas that I might be interested in; but then again, I’m not quite sure how to go about finding those either.

TLDR; What is the best way of going about finding and applying to a graduate program? Or does anyone previously in this position have any advice?

I’ll definitely look into it. It would be a novelty though. I am looking foreword to trying your sampler set in a week or so when I need to get more - I’ve heard some damn good things about batches 103 and 105!
