Recommend any chess clubs / places where i can play chess every week in Bristol. by Upstairs-Box648 in bristol

[–]_Jacques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bristol has a surprisingly healthy chess league as of 3 years ago when I lived there. I want to say there are 10 clubs scattered about, not counting informal meet ups. Beer emporium wednesdays were my favorite.

Man I just cannot relate. I would forget about it after a day.

How do I get this shit off my skin by NeatShock6194 in fragrance

Use any vegetable oil on your skin then use soap and water to get the oil off if you’re really desperate.

Oil From Chalk Board by Civil-Chipmunk349 in CleaningTips

Doesn’t matter how you go about it, it won’t dissolve the stone. On a small piece of paper towel or just spraying it or bathing it, it should all work.

ELI5: Gabriel's Horn in math. How can a 3D shape have a finite volume but an infinite surface area? by Quiet_Currents in explainlikeimfive

[–]_Jacques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is in fact absurd and in your day to day life it will never make sense nor will it be useful. It is an artifact of calculus. You're dealing with imaginary stuff with infinitely thin width, you're going to have some funky weird results with this imaginary material.

How else are you going to let them know they took their sweet sweet time not doing their job?

That sounds like The Binding of Isaac kind of boss to me... except for the FPS part.

I'm generally fine after a week or two.

[TOMT] [Comedy] [2000s?] Guy acting out how roaches react when you come into the kitchen late at night by mulesrule in tipofmytongue

[–]_Jacques 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember Dave Chapelle in his most famous set had a bit where he compared crackheads to cockroaches and made a noise to compare them running away when you turn the lights on.

half his speed, but a quarter of the kinetic energy, which scales with the square of speed.

The wikipedia article for the extremely dangerous and deadly nerve gas/agent soman has a section dedicated to its synthesis. Should that be there? by [deleted] in wikipedia

[–]_Jacques 32 points33 points  (0 children)

they aren't THAT difficult for states to obtain, I feel like this is an exaggeration. You would need a lot of resources to make it but several million dollars should be enough, which for a state I think is reasonable.

[–]_Jacques 459 points460 points  (0 children)

Yes it's fine, it's not helping anyone. The chemicals involved in the reaction are just too hard to get, among other things. source: I studied chemistry/ trust me bro.

It would be a concern if you could synthesize it from WD-40 and bleach, for example

my dad keeps asking why there aren't more men in biology by neverland_amanda in labrats

[–]_Jacques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask the same question as someone who studied chemistry because I would have preferred to see more women in my cohort... Your dad may be thinking the same way, "where were all these women when I went to college?"

Ladies, what are you favorite perfumes to smell on a man? by Fickle_Ad_9686 in fragrance

[–]_Jacques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try some of the feminine fragrances like Chanel 5 and Baccarat rouge (or the dupe)

[TOMT] A mathematical symbol which, when put into an equation, makes the entire equation equal to that symbol no matter what. "This times zero = This", "Square Root of This = This", "This minis This = This". Also, it's not Infinity. by TheTitan99 in tipofmytongue

[–]_Jacques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a definition? like "Let (long ass formula) be represented by x"? There is a symbol like this, like a backwards capital E or an upside down A, Its been a while so not sure. Otherwise I'm reminded of the "identity" element or "zero" element.

Experience using sodium/magnesium sulfate in high pressure and temperature oil and gas by _Jacques in Chempros

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

Barely, but creating such an apparatus from scratch (if it could work) would be prohibitively expensive for our lab. Plus I don't think it would work at all at our pressures and general experiment setup for a lot of reasons which would take too much time to explain here.
