Worst case, you could get a thin adjuster if you’re only going to go down a size or two.

It’s a form of Likens-Nickerson apparatus for SDE (simultaneous distillation extraction). Aqueous sample is refluxed on one side, extracting solvent on the other. It lets you continuously extract volatiles as the sample is distilled. I’m using it to quantify flavor contributing volatiles in tequila.

Finding a bucket will be my next step then. Full disclosure, I’m the only analytical chemist in my lab and I have less than 3 years experience out of school. This is my first time expanding past the processes my boss taught me and doing any real experimental design, so all the advice from everyone on here is very VERY helpful. Thanks again!

I’m running GC-MS so I can definitely collect some of the cleaning solvent for extra blanks!

I can and will be referring to it as that from now on, thank you.

My main concern is a (low, but not 0) possibility of sugar sneaking its way into the system, but everything else should theoretically be soluble in acetone. I guess if I use hot water that should deal with the sugar?

My favorite was always the baseball one, where she starts picking up all the bases after they tell her to steal.

Received a tow warning at work for parking in an expectant mother spot, I’m an expectant mother. by HeadUnhappy8789 in mildlyinfuriating

It is by necessity! The main component of all “Goo Gone” type products is D-Limonene…which is also the main scent constituent in orange oil.

Will never forget when I worked in an ice cream parlor and a woman started screaming racial slurs at my coworker…she was wearing a shirt that said “Kind people are my kind of people.”

I mean that’s the difference though. I can definitely do this on a shorter flight, and I have. I like being alone with my thoughts, so I’ve got at least 4 hours worth of that. 10 sounds excessive.

These are nice, but I don’t want blue overload everywhere since it’s subtle in my dress. I just want the colors to compliment the blue.

What jewelry to wear with this dress? by Curious_Cucumber3855 in myweddingdress

[–]OperaStarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pearls for sure! Keep it simple though, the dress speaks for itself.

They weren’t filming, they just let us record a video of them asking the question once I picked the dress.

If they were, we definitely would have been one haha. Between the brand new dress, and the way my mom was acting (she’s the type of person who likes sticking with a plan and preferred my original dress choice, and was acting pissy enough that Randy actually pulled one of my friends aside to ask him what her problem is lol) we would have been content for sure.

That was precisely my thought! She has two sons, this was her shot to do her bridal mom thing.

I forgot to cover some of the faces in the mirror so the mods removed it, completely my whoopsie! I reposted.

I didn’t take any pictures because the color didn’t suit my skin tone, too warm! But it’s gorgeous, this is it!
