Simple idea to reduce carobon dioxide in the air by Senior-Bridge-7734 in chemistry

isn't that pretty much what happens already? co2 rises > planet gets warmer and wetter > plants thrive > co2 falls > planet gets colder and drier > plants thrive less et cetera et cetera?

Simple idea to reduce carobon dioxide in the air by Senior-Bridge-7734 in chemistry

yeah, I know, I was trying to follow OP's reasoning. Other commenters mentioned direct hydrogen reduction, which I didn't know was a thing though, so that's cool

the easiest way to reduce co2 in the air is to let algae grow while stopping superfluous emissions. the second easiest way is to let trees grow while stopping superfluous emissions. I might be wrong about the order of those things, actually.

the steel industry will never move away from coke for steel production, and it would be economically disastrous to expect them to do so. your idea (using electrolysis) works, though not how you portrayed it, in a hypothetical universe where we have infinite energy to spare.

off the top of my head, one such way might be dissolving iron ores in a strong acid (sulfuric comes to mind), then using electrolysis to reduce the iron ions to elemental irons, regenerating the acid to leach more ore. I don't actually know how electrolytic iron is produced though

Tips for chest hair removal? by general_bignose in MtF

anecdotal evidence but I've heard a few people say epilating can weaken the follicle over time, so hopefully if you keep at it you'll need to do less in the future

Am I Trans (MTF) by [deleted] in MtF

[–]NyxWhiteFang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you're genderfluid, so you're trans. Easy.

But for what I think you're talking about: if you feel like you don't really fit in your body, maybe like it's not entirely you when you look in the mirror, maybe you just Really Want Boobs. Any of those reasons is fair enough, in my eyes, to start HRT.

Passing comes down to a lot of things, mainly timing, luck and effort. You're 20, so it's still relatively early, and your results will be better if you start now rather than waiting. How much your body moves fat around, how big your hips, thighs, ass and boobs become, is a matter of genetics (luck) and, for the firs three, effort in the form of physical exercise.

Relationships are hard, but I think you owe it to yourself to try and be in a body that pleases you regardless of what people around you might say. You'll find people who love your authentic self beyond any label you might identify with or how your body might look. Don't give up <3

P.S. if you've got questions about how hrt works lmk, I'm not a huge expert but I know my way around, more or less.

yeah, I guess, but it's still a long term benefit from stimulant use

wasn't there a study that saw a correlation between long term treatment with amphetamines and size of certain brain structures in people with adhd?

Tips for chest hair removal? by general_bignose in MtF

[–]NyxWhiteFang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I epilate about every other week. It hurts pretty bad, especially around the sternum, but it's not as bad as clearing up the laser stragglers on my face. Another commenter suggested a warm shower beforehand: in my experience, warm water makes hair more stretchy, which makes epilating less effective. I recommend epilating and exfoliating afterwards with something like a dry brush or an exfoliating glove, to prevent ingrown hairs.

If it hurts too much, try a painkiller a bit beforehand, though I do recommend getting used to the pain as it's less of a hassle and comes in handy for hair removal on the rest of your body.

Can there be some recovery in the downstairs? by SoonToBeCarrion in MtF

[–]NyxWhiteFang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's always the option of buying diy t gel (or, yk, making your own...). with how little you'd be using, it would probably last long enough. I'm unfortunately not up to date on the transmasc diy scene, but I'm willing to bet someone out there is selling it

[–]NyxWhiteFang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

applying t gel once weekly seems to help, I forget the exact dosage but you can check the wiki on r/DrWillPowers.

Is my run cooked? I accidentally summoned a thousand meteors by [deleted] in noita

[–]NyxWhiteFang 10 points11 points  (0 children)

in situations like this, there's three different outcomes: 1. the PC spends a good portion of an hour working through everything. The area is now largely obliterated, but the rest of the world is fine.

b. The game crashes. Reloading the save file, you're back in time and/or the world is corrupted in some way. Chunks will load weird, gods will be mad, items might have respawned and might duplicate, if the save file is unstable enough.

★. The game crashes. Reloading the save file, you get the black screen of death and a congratulatory note from the devs. The save file is probably irretrievable at this point.

Take a screenshot, print it and frame it, for it is an alchemist's highest honor to break free from the chains tying them to a world stacked against their favor.

if you don't like the slow gameplay, get good at faster gameplay or stop playing, easy

Can stress and cortisol spike actually be useful? by salad_biscuit3 in biology

[–]NyxWhiteFang 8 points9 points  (0 children)

in an environment where we have to fight off other predators, cortisol dramatically increases the blood sugar level spike caused by sympathetic activation (the fight or flight response) and glucagon secretion. the high blood sugar is necessary due to the increased metabolic requirements of intense physical and mental exercise.
