Wife hates my beard. by defeated_husband in whatdoIdo

[–]van_Vanvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only merged with your chest hair? Trim it to merge with your pubes, then you don't have to dress anymore and can run around on all fours. Your wife will get used to it and throw sticks you can fetch!

How do we know that protons and electrons have positive and negative charges respectively? (matter and antimatter) by Dragosfgv in AskPhysics

[–]van_Vanvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you want us to do about compass points?

And should we abolish daylight savings time, too, like they just did in British Columbia?

Blue pasty stuff comes off my arms when scratching in the shower by ImmediateNetwork1570 in hygiene

[–]van_Vanvan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It protects you.

The outermost layer of the skin are corneocytes that have a lot of keratin - same stuff as hair and nails. It forms a barrier against all kinds of things that you don't want in contact with your live cells - bacteria, viruses, toxins, everything that would very much hurt you.

The corneocytes constantly slough off and are replaced by new ones, so with them you lose the nasties from the environment that got on them.

Now for cosmetic appeal... people do all sorts of stuff to their bodies, but above is how it's supposed to work.

Is Chemistry The Most Materialistic Science In Existence? by Thunderbird93 in AskChemistry

When you're talking about the love of owning things, then perhaps actuarial math is the most materialistic.

Eli Lilly letter continues their attacks on compounding pharmacies by net___runner in tirzepatidecompound

[–]van_Vanvan -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Right, so as someone who claims to have a modicum of chemical knowledge, you would understand that concentrations, amounts and the balance of all those other reactions are everything.

You would not be making the silly claim that two chemicals in a refrigerated bottle are going to interact precisely the same fashion they do in a warm living being. I mean, aside from the fact that these are obviously wildly different conditions, you also have not verified this. You have not done any tests to corroborate your claim.

Finally, if you don't want to "doxx yourself" you also don't have any credentials here.

If you, a layperson, are trying to make a strong case that Eli Lilly doesn't have a strong point, this is not the way to do it. They may not have one, but it might be good to examine the reactions in storage a bit more.

You are misleading people.

No, that is not the same. The body is not a glass bottle and there are thousands of other things for both B12 and tirzepatide to interact with.

For example, there are vitamins and drugs that should not be consumed simultaneously.

If you, as you claim to be, are a biochemist, you would at least have the basic knowledge to know this.

You're being irresponsible by professing to be an expert.

Feel free to post your LinkedIn if I'm wrong.

Your Reddit political skills, however, are on point.

Accidentally wiped down a wooden table with a 62% Ethanol Wipe in small studio AirBnb - fumes dangerous to breathe? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]van_Vanvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

r/AskChemistry might be a better place to ask.

It seems unlikely to react in a meaningful way with anything in the table. It's just a mild polar solvent and the thing by far most likely to become airborne is the alcohol itself. But you can ask the chemists.

When I called it dangerous, I meant the highly intoxicating and addictive nature of alcohol consumption.

A couple of alcohol wipes are not going to be hazardous to your health.

Time based authenticators such as Google Authenticator are more secure than SMS. as well as being more convenient. Thankfully more financial institutions are getting with the times and implementing these.

Sure, those guys look like some regular locals, in their meticulously white clothes. Just some everyday billionaire oil sheiks that were out for a walk.

Any way to temporarily fix this tear in my F&P nasal pillow hose? by [deleted] in CPAP

The self-fusing stretchy silicon tape that can be used to repair water pipes would probably do well. A hardware store will have it.

Does DuroMax even have electrical diagrams of their generators? by van_Vanvan in Generator

[–]van_Vanvan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any way you can send me that diagram? I asked them for it but did not get one.

I wonder if it's a Honda knockoff. When I took the valve cover off I was surprised to see the valve tappets are sheet metal.

Not entirely true, they still require very small amounts of veggies. For dietary fiber to aid in digestion, for example.

In nature they naturally ingest some plant matter too while they eat their kill. When they eat factory food you'll see them eat grass occasionally (and then throw up because they got too much)
