... this is why chemistry kills people, isn't it. Somehow folks can not get it in their head to not smell the explosive chemical reaction.

First reaction to white cloud of potential death should not be "Let's see what it smells like "

And then your face melts off and your lungs turn into cement. BAD END

Fun fact: One artificial sweetener, and I cannot for the life of me remember which one, allegedly exists only because a lab assistant misheard an instruction to "test this" as "taste this". And actually did it, without question.

We scientists train our minions assistants well.

Gonna need some window cleaner to make some brain bleach for that

Why o-o

Because it's absolutely Slaanesh tier heresy and I don't want to get burninated

I dunno, from what I know of chemistry majors, raging erections while mixing unknown liquids that may or may not kill you is fairly bog standard.

Even especially for the female students.

The reason we smelled it was because it was just steam from the stuff boiling over, and the thing we were making was some kind of methyl that was supposed to smell like wintergreen mint or something.  The instructions called for bunsen burners, but we decided to use hot plates instead, because you know, highly flammable organic alcohols. The girl forgot to put boiling chits in there.  There was a bit of sulfuric acid that as initially concentrated enough to hurt a bit, but by that point it was diluted several times earlier and had already reacted.

An illustration of approaching things with Gunner-Chan's philosophy in mind, almost as literally as possible.

RIP Anon, there is no greater pursuit to lose ones life to.


Today I saw YouTube comments (I know I know) on a Linus Tech Tips video where multiple people were claiming that a colder CPU should run slower because the electrons move slower. Did these people not go to school ever?

what are small packs of giant space hamsters doing in grassy plains and hills

[Neonivek]

Look the old versions of dnd were GLORIOUS!

I loved the combination of serious and totally weird creatures... something that is often lost on newer editions.

[SOLDIER First]

The worst thing is I've tried all sorts of dumb ways to get it to work and it just. Won't. Connect. To the. Steam. Network.
No matter what.
Base steam download? Can't update, not connected to Steam Network.
Base download plus full steam folder, no appcache / steamapps? Can't login, not connected to Steam Network. Can't start Offline Mode, no login data.
It's NEVER SATISFIED.

... you didn't know the whole baldur's gate space hamster joke, uh. Wasn't? A joke. The system has giant space hamsters. It has a lot of things.

The only game I know for a fact I can run is KSP, because the launcher gets around's Steam's login bullshit.

I haven't played Baldur's Gate, so I wouldn't know there was a joke about that.
