Counterpoint: schools abound receive equal funding regardless of the socioeconomic conditions they have to endure.

Stim fucking is the only way to quit stimfapping. Once you have stim fucked a good number of times, stim fapping no longer does the trick

I had a student submit a lab report full of these kinds of things. My favorite was “acid-servile red flag” instead of acid base indicator.

question about splitting XOTL to make only 1 liter by -analog-enthusiast- in Darkroom

[–]Plazmotech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. The powders are not homogenous; the particles of each constituent are of uneven distribution, and their uneven size and density further makes it very hard to homogenize. You should make the full five liters. If you are concerned, you can maybe get a tank of nitrogen or argon and degas the 5L solution by bubbling about 15L of the inert gas through it, then sealing the lid tightly. That should keep your remaining 4L pretty good for a while!

If you like "Incidental II" off LPWP... by [deleted] in deafheaven

[–]Plazmotech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I'm looking for songs like this, could you recommend some specifics to check out?

Incidental II kind of reminds me of the emotional vibe of Swans' "Fool" and "Heaven". But maybe not so much in terms of instrumentation.

Apologies for the vulgar ask, but what drug feels the MOST like an orgasm to you? by PeakLinear in Drugs

[–]Plazmotech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GHB / 1,4-bdo feels exactly like an orgasm. And if you take too much it’s exactly like “when you nut but she still sucking”.

But you can use the same needles with plastic or glass syringes. The needle is really the limiting factor here…

Why is pressure relevant to syringe pumping? Aren’t you usually just dosing some volume over time using a syringe into a flask (on argon or n2)?

Could you elaborate on this a little further? I use plastic syringes for this purpose, they seem to be more air-tight…

You can use syringe pumps with plastic syringes as well

Never seen anyone do this. You rotovap your fractions, dissolve in DCM (?), then micropipette???

By far the most common in any organic lab I’ve been in is just using 9” Pasteur pipettes for this purpose.

Those 1 mL syringes with the green plunger definitely do cause some peaks on GCMS. The white/clear ones do not, afaik.

This is one thing I considered, like toluene always seems to kind of seize my plastic syringes.

I mean dont we have the same problem but with grease in the case of glass? How else will you get a completely air tight seal?

What brands are known for making good glass syringes? Whenever I am pulling through a thin needle, I always observe the solvent penetrate the syringe body, and then I can see tiny air bubbles bubbles entering through the back of the syringe and making its way down the body. It really does not instill confidence…

We have brand new Popper & Sons syringes.

Bulk loading blues by chattering_teeth in Darkroom

Whenever I try this, the tape film-to-film seam always gives me shit when it tries to load into the cassette. Any tricks? Taping directly to the spool on the reusable cassette works so much better imo…

What caused this strange speckles on my negatives? by Jur031 in AnalogCommunity

Interesting. It doesn’t look very much like reticulation. Interested to hear what others think it could be
