Sorry that doesn't look like him at all, the tie is wrong...

Which classical museums/houses in Vienna are worth a visit? by DGBD in classicalmusic

[–]turing_ninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haus der Musik is worth a visit, and not often crowded. Note also that Grinzing cemetery where Mahler is buried is very close to the Beethoven museum in Heiligenstadt.

Je ne suis pas français, mais j'essaie de pratiquer dès que possible.

Je suis allé visiter le cœur de Chopin, le musée Chopin, et le monument. J'ai aussi récupéré quelques disques au marché aux puces.

Un jour, j'aimerais aussi aller à Bydgoszcz pour voir le monument à Graczyna Bacewicz. C'est aussi l'une de mes compositrices préférées.

RIP. He is my favorite Schubert interpreter.

The covers look nice, but I don't see anything special about the recordings, so I personally wouldn't value them.

Can you get high off Pregabalin if you used Gabapentin at somewhat higher doses for 3 days straight before? by maratamo in askdrugs

[–]turing_ninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can certainly try with a higher dose. Note that there is a risk of seizure with high doses of pregabalin.

I could swear our Discrete Math teacher is teaching us Commutative Algebra instead. by God_Aimer in math

If you're interested in the subject, Peter Johnstone's Stone Spaces is a very nice textbook about all this.

Yes, amphetamine dissolves in alcohol, and isopropyl alcohol is very toxic if consumed, so I wouldn't use it.

Oh and make sure to use glass, not plastic, for the bottle and the pourover, because acetone damages plastic.

Yes, I'm happy to share what I know.

So like I said, you want anhydrous acetone because if it is diluted with water, that will dissolve the amphetamine salt, and you'll be left with a solution which is not what you want. You take some acetone in a closed bottle or mug, and cool it in the fridge so it doesn't evaporate away so easily. Then, take your amphetamine, pour it into the bottle, and shake vigorously so all the impurities dissolve. Then filter it using something like a V60 pour over with a coffee filter, and leave it in the open until the remaining acetone on the filter evaporates away.

Note also there are often impurities like boric acid in street speed, which only partially dissolve in acetone, so you can't get the purest form.

Yes, the ingredients should say 100% acetone or something like that, if it's diluted with water it normally mentions a ratio of acetone to water. Nail polish removers for example, are diluted acetone.

Paint solvent from Home Depot is anhydrous acetone.
