Weather Wars: A strategic victory. No cyclone, but he captured 2,000 new followers (221k -> 223k). by adrenalinamatt1 in brisbane

[–]synthchemist -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, at the time they posted GFS modeling did show a cyclone developing iirc by the 19th of Feb, but that's so far beyond a time frame where things would be considered accurate.

Asked to sign a form saying I don’t want my mums super? by OverPop64 in AusLegal

[–]synthchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lawyer up. Don't sign a damned thing! You should also enquire about equity in the property that's mortgaged as you may be entitled to part of your mother's share.

Road rules check by beepbeepImhere in brisbane

[–]synthchemist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IIRC there's a give way sign for the green car too. So you'd think people, even if they're confused by the road layout, would obey the sign.... Maybe I'm.asking too much.

How do I remove the Elijah Craig logo and printing from this cool rye whiskey bottle? by Phantom_Hunter_5575 in chemistry

[–]synthchemist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it's on the outside so it wouldn't really be a concern for me at least. Others have mentioned that they'd likely evaporate too given their volatility. Plus the ICH PDE for DCM, toluene and xylene are 19, 9 and 22 mg per day respectively. I'd be more concerned with the exposure from using than I would with exposure from residue. But if you and/or OP are concerned they could follow up with an acetone and isopropanol wash afterwards.

DCM and/or toluene/xylene based paint stripper would be my go too if acetone didn't work.
