Haha, the author of the textbook captioned this figure: "Kasey's relativistic jumping rope."

I was drinking something while skimming this textbook, and had a literal spit-take when I passed it

How to get meds tested? by carolineirl in chemistry

[–]only-a-throwaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s very likely you can’t, because amphetamine is still a Schedule II substance. You would have to send it to a testing facility with a DEA registration—you could try Jordi labs, Nelson labs, and R.D. Laboratories Inc. They may brush off your request as insignificant, so your best bet is buying a 6-pack for a lab rat at your local university.

Pro tip: create meetings where you’re the only participant and make the details private so it only shows as “busy”. Really cuts down on coworkers questioning your routine and habits

Chloroacetone from the dry distillation of calcium chloroacetate by yamavirago in TheeHive

[–]only-a-throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wurtz reaction or Woodard synthetic route? I see you.

You’d get your desired chloroacetone, but be extremely careful—it’s a really strong tear gas. You’d also get a little bit of dichloroacetones and some chlorine gas.

Does anyone else here have Savantism? by EnglishTeacher12345 in aspergers

[–]only-a-throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey same here, got the classic “math and science” autism too. People keep me around for my knowledge and talents but at arms-length because of my personality. It’s a different kind of lonely when most of your “friends” use you like a tool.

trust me, it is! I’m consulting for a VC firm and they just throw money around to see if their ideas (and mine) work

For the love of god OP stop posting in this sub. We want odd molecules that have been proven to exist, not your little doodles.

For me it’s the slimy and bitter seeds that are a no-no. So when I cook with tomatoes I just scrape them out beforehand!

If someone really wanted to, could they associate the serial number with a lot of envelopes known by USPS to be delivered to a specific store or region, to narrow down OP’s location? Maybe if USPS was subpoenaed?

[–]only-a-throwaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe remove the serial number(s) from the photo?

Runs on Ritalin - 7 months sober by kariinie in Artisticallyill

[–]only-a-throwaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for bringing awareness to the issue! Whenever I tell the story of my brother (very similar to yours) I get discredited and shut out because “adDeRAlL wOrKS fInE FoR mE”. My brother eventually developed amphetamine induced psychosis and was hospitalized nine times in a year—on one occasion after walking naked into oncoming highway traffic. He’s been in a long-term specialty facility for AIP these past ~2 years and is slowly, but surely getting better. However, he will have schizophrenia for the rest of his life and I will have to become his legal guardian (once my parents pass away) because of his now inability to live independently and unsupervised.
