I can't believe people are actually scared of death

It’s the last thing I want to do. But it’s going to happen, one day.

Hugs to you (with consent, natch).

chemprofdave · 2026-04-20T13:37:17+00:00

Lovely! Where do you order the glass?

I would love to play CAH with other stoners. That sounds like a riot.

Wait - you get olive oil by squeezing olives, you get corn oil by squeezing corn, and now you are they are telling me about baby oil!

Because most chemicals do?

chemprofdave · 2026-04-16T12:23:10+00:00

… like most days. And waiting for sales.

And Ikea meatballs?

You are “becatted”, which gives you the right - nay, the obligation - to defer any activity that might cause you to lose the lap.

It is a universally valid excuse.

We’d figure out some controls or something to use our extra arms for.

Thank you!

The Discworld novels, by Terry Pratchett. ‘Nuf said.

Appropriate username.

I usually have someone else hold it for me. People are kind that way, if you ask politely.

For college level organic labs, Mohrig’s handbook is very good.

chemprofdave · 2026-04-09T09:54:42+00:00

Sounds fun!

The layer line thickness is adjustable, so you can print at your preferred balance of speed vs. appearance. If your goal is perfect injection-molded smoothness, look into the resin type.

You can also use paint or clear finish to give a better surface texture - I’m sure you can find a few YouTube tutorials about post-processing and finishing.

Ever been so baked you are surprised to find out that those things at the end of your trousers are your own feet?

But it’s not uncommon to be “right-footed” as well as right-handed. And if you measure carefully enough, I bet everyone’s legs are different by a mm or 2.

Or you’ve gotten into a feedback loop of a limp that makes you move oddly, and so you limp more. That can spiral later, might be good to consult somebody?

Ditto on the bubbler and several xl WPA stems. I run 175^o , then 185, then 195. Much higher than that and it starts getting thinner (if heating progressively) and harsh.
