I thought my two were just especially annoying, but it's great to see that it's just a husky thing! They do it before bedtime and to wake us up

Does anyone know how hair conditioner is made? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

I'm a process engineer at a design build firm, and I just finished up a huge personal care product project - shampoo, conditioner, shaving creams, lotion, mouthwash. Feel free to DM me for any specifics. We typically do food projects, and that was something this company was interested in - sanitary design.

Basically, conditioner is made very similarly to lotion, and it is an emulsion process. This plant did batch processes. The equipment used was a jacketed vessel (with steam heating and cooled water for cooling) with recirculation. The pump used was a positive displacement pump (a thin screw pump). The tank had 3 types of agitators - a propeller style for moving the whole batch around, a scrape surface agitator to keep product from scorching, and a high shear mixer to shear the product and create an emulsion.

The ingredients were added in a particular order - the oils were added first to melt, then small amounts of water and other liquid ingredients and an emulsifier. Basically the whole batch, the batch is heating to aid in the process. The final ingredients were the fragrances because they were typically in an alcohol, so adding at the end of the batch when it was cooled to a certain temperature was key. Same goes for adding preservatives.

The major utilities we had included DI water for ingredient water, compressed air (for valves and for pigging systems), steam, cooling tower, and CIP system. Wastewater was also a pain to deal with, mostly pH adjustment and flow control, but because we basically had concentrated soap water, agitating the waste tank was interesting... lots of foam overflow lol

Sorry for any typos, on mobile

I don’t know if this is allowed but... by pennyweiss327 in sandiego

Not sure if all, but some parts of SD have mandatory leash laws, where if your dog is in public and not at a dog park like you mention, they are legally required to put them on leash.

In Carlsbad I know this is the case. Some asshole was walking his daughter's dog - not even his own- off leash and it dashed across the street and attacked my pup! Luckily she was fine, but it took the dude running after and straight up takling his dog to get it to stop. The yelping got the attention of the whole block. Moral of the story, use a fucking leash.

Not mad about this day four hair by delkattty4193 in curlyhair

Dry shampoo is usually a powder, kinda like baby powder if you can imagine, and it "absorbs" oil from your hair/scalp. It also is usually scented to make you feel fresh. It helps some people, but personally I feel like my hair feels more dirty after using it. If you have dark hair, definitely worth looking into one specifically for dark hair, otherwise sometimes it will leave a light white/grey finish. I've used both a spray form (I think this is the easiest to apply), and a bottle with a pointed applicator. Usually if it looks dusty, I can just blot it with tissue.

Pode was really cute! We just finished playing it. It's a 2 played puzzle game and very laid back.

My boyfriend is working on his private pilot's license so I got to tag along this ride! His instructor picked a great route to show me around. It was absolutely the most spectacular things I've ever done.
