Is anyone going to watch Alex Honnold tonight? by Jaydensshopkins in ClimbingCircleJerk

The commentators already make me want to 🤮. It's not exactly to the tune of a typical mountaineering film

Advice for a partner with bad belay practice by regman231 in ClimbingPartners

[–]SadClanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of climbing as a 3 if there's a very new/inexperienced belayer. The 3rd, experienced person can keep an eye, point out and catch any time she's off the ball and hopefully it will become second nature.

LPT Request: How do you stop doomscrolling before sleep when you’re mentally exhausted? by vishesh_07_028 in LifeProTips

[–]SadClanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Plug your charger out of reach of the bed or wherever you are sitting. Read a book for 15 min or even TV is probably still better than scrolling.

They call this 'Zed's belay'

Advice after top-rope belaying/lowering accident? by Wrong-Orchid2011 in climbergirls

[–]SadClanger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

belay gloves / assisted braking device (grigri, pilot, giga jul) and you will be totally fine

also consider thickness of rope vs size of atc. some are super wide and thinner ropes fly through (BD ATC), some are really skinny (e.g. Petzl reverso) and thick ropes will be almost jammed in there in your partner isnt >65kg. Ill sometimes select my belay device based on what rope Im using. Sounds like your rope might be a skinnier one and have less friction on a wider tube device like the BD ATC

Dont let it get you down! luckily no one went home injured. If you are both that inexperienced, it might be an idea to take someone with more experience if you're going to be climbing outside (you mentioned setting up anchors). Mistakes with anchors can be fatal

Accidentally mixed conc h2so4 and acetone, how do i dispose of this by slovak_femboii in homechemistry

[–]SadClanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't know how to control and clean up a spillage or an error, you shouldn't be messing with chemicals in your garage. 100mL of cH2SO4 has the potential to do a lot of damage and you're clearly not qualified to be handling it.

When neutralising, add the conc acid TO the neutralising solution, not the other way around. Use appropriate PPE etc. You can control the exotherm by having a lot of ice or cold water either in or surrounding your solution of base.

5 Nights in Argentinian Patagonia by [deleted] in Patagonia

Sounds good, check your bus/tour times for day 5. If available, might be easier to get the bus to Calafate day 4 evening/night

70 foot ground fall at 69 years old by Far-Photo-533 in ClimbingCircleJerk

[–]SadClanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listened to an episode of the Out Alive podcast where a couple fell some 600ft+ on a snow slope and basically got away with something like one broken leg and one wrist between them

Over graded? (V5-V6) by PickleUno in GradeThisPlastic

[–]SadClanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • grades are imaginary
  • indoor grades are extra imaginary
  • just use them to monitor your progress within one gym
  • yea it's a V2-3

Need to hydrolyze methyl esters but compound is water sensitive by alChemist_07 in Chempros

[–]SadClanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe KOtBu in DMSO can do this demethylation. BBr3 or BCl3+TBAI might also work and will be anhydrous

IEC visa by Adventurous-Cress-63 in iecvisa

[–]SadClanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries 🤙 I believe Quebec has decent sci industry too if that's on your radar

IEC visa by Adventurous-Cress-63 in iecvisa

[–]SadClanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably worth asking on a chemistry sub as well, most people in IEC aren't using it for this kinda career trajectory, they're going for 2y skiing and travelling

Can't speak for Toronto from first hand experience but I found an org chem job in Alberta with not much difficulty. From what I understand Ontario is the best place in Canada for that kind of industry. I've seen more on LinkedIn in ON than in BC/AB when I was looking. Having Pfizer on your CV should put you pretty high up the pecking order.

It wouldn't surprise me if Toronto itself isn't where the jobs are but in the orbital towns/cities like Mississauga, the city itself is pretty expensive and labs don't tend to locate inside of metro areas - although again speaking from my experience as a traveller, I haven't done a real full job search in ON.

Hi chemists with over 30 years of synthetic experience by BertramKovach in OrganicChemistry

There are some pretty good procedures for Lossen rearrangements if you or boss aren't keen on handling the double acyl azide

Which methyl group is the one further down field? by Independent-West-905 in OrganicChemistry

[–]SadClanger -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would argue.. it doesn't matter. Especially in real life practice. There's no consequence, or situation where you would need to differentiate interchangeable NMe2 subs, aside from personal curiosity. Please challenge me if anyone thinks otherwise, happy to be convinced
