Most craft stores carry a glass etchant like Armor Etch [0] as an over the counter product. The MSDS [1] indicates that it's an aqueous solution containing ammonium bifluoride, which exists in equilibrium with hydrofluoric acid. [0] h

This article is about arsenic minerals acting like a sponge that holds and concentrates gold from the surrounding environment that it comes in contact with. It isn't creating new atoms of gold. Gold can be created through an unrelated

This reminds me of one of my favorite court cases, a rare application of the 3rd amendment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engblom_v._Carey A prison tried to break a strike of workers who lived in prison dorms by replac

Amphetamine (Dexedrine) is schedule II, not schedule I. Doctors cannot generally prescribe schedule I substances like LSD. Pseudoephedrine is a substituted amphetamine so referring to it as "an OTC amphetamine" is technically reas

Hydrogen sulfide is a severe example: it initially smells strongly of rotten eggs but quickly damages the nose until it is undetectable and further exposure can be lethal. For most other chemicals, smells only fade to the background during

I enjoy using the CSS named colors for web design because it provides a limited set of options to choose from. It's easier to decide on the best choice from a limited set of options than it is to find the global maximum in the entire R

I understand your frustration with the current state of psychiatry, but I think that you may be reading too much of it into my comment. I had no intention of shifting any blame from the wholly inappropriate combination of prescribed drugs o

I meant "stimulant" in the context of traditional dopamine reuptake inhibitors and releasing agents like amphetamine and ritalin which are almost incomparable to less controlled or uncontrolled compounds like modafinil, ephedrine,

In general, it would be difficult to tell with an incomplete patient history whether a psychiatrist prescribing pramipexole for depression was making an irresponsible shot in the dark, or a calculated attempt to address something like treat

I omitted the Xanax entirely from my previous post because the polypharmacy here is such a mess, but I agree that it probably factors into disinhibition. I don't personally attribute much relevance to modafinil in this instance; while

This is not obvious to the average person outside of the industry. For example, most people would expect that text typed into a form field without clicking submit is private and has not been sent to anyone. It is obvious to a software devel

Cyanoacrylate works on PLA, but PLA is notably not amenable to solvent welding or smoothing with household supplies compared to the ease with which ABS/ASA (acetone) or PVB (isopropyl alcohol) pieces can be fused together. It is margin

There is a bit of luck in even having any viable materials that work at the required temperature to choose from. For example, humanity hasn't been able to find a single appropriate material for a superconductor at room temperature&#x2F

If you don't fill the thermos to the top, we can also add the small temperature impact of Helmholtz resonance from the wind blowing across the lip to make this more complicated. (Now I wonder how loud a sound needs to be to boil water.

You are correct, I was conflating two separate steps of the process. Federal law only requires keeping records and these could technically be done on paper. In practice, more than two thirds of the states participate in a central electronic
