It was not the Thiosulphate Pentahydrate, it was the Hexametaphosphate!!" He was talking to one of his colleagues over the phone. After he was done with the phone call, I could not hold myself back and asked him what the joke was. He just said it was grown up stuff, I won't understand. I looked up those terms in Google, but couldn't really find what was that funny... Is your dad a chemist? Cause it might be that they just found what went wrong and it was some dumb mistake or something or some other cause for a thing that happened while in the lab.

Well, you should march right back in there and ask him what the reaction would have been if, instead of Hexametaphosphate, he’d used hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane. Bonus points if you can say it all in one breath. I sure can’t. Other names that are far much more fun to say than, say, go swimming in*: chlorine trifluoride, azidoazide azide, and the ever popular dioxygen difluoride. And don’t even get me started on dihydrogen monoxide, that stuff will kill you ded in so many ways. Spoiler *do not actually attempt to go swimming in any of these. Merely gathering enough in one place to fill a small basin is enough to cause a reaction, such a reaction generally involving running and screaming. Possibly with flailing arms.

I'd imagine its hard to add another considering you already have a number of rings, adding more is not going to be easy.... Or expanding the ring is another possibility, but again you run into the problem of how do you do that. The current synthesis (below) is just kinda sticking a bunch of nitrogens together (through some mechanism with the aldehydes? I think those are aldehydes, attacking the carbonyl and forming a bond there, and what not.... yeah....). It actually seems pretty easy compared to some of the other organic synthesis stuff I've seen. Maybe there's someone more qualified than me in organic chemistry. who can talk about this more. Dihydrogen monoxide, now theres something quite dangerous if inhaled. Edited February 20, 2019 by qzgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up those terms in Google, but couldn't really find what was that funny... The very fact that there still are some people who can confuse hexametaphosphate with thiosulpfate pentahydrate. It's almost as funny as a third electron in the 's' electronic subshell. (Well, I guess. Otherwise they wouldn't be laughing.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good scene. I mean as long they can create fuel oil through distillation, ammonium nitrate apparently occurs naturally. Also hmmm.....

Geonovast Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Bought the stuff for delidding my 7700K, and an AIO. I'll start printing the tool tomorrow. This is either gonna be a fun adventure, or I'll be crying in the corner after I kill a $330 chip. Either way it won't be running hot anymore.

Delay Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Not today, actually a few days ago, but I did some integration and found out the the area between a secant and a parabola, given some distance d, is always d3/6. It's one of those equations where the steps result in massive terms that nicely cancel each other out, with just one term remaining at the end.

Nivee~ Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I found this: Amazing Android IDE! So, my Dad researches slurry flow, and there are a tons of equation he and his fellow researchers solve everyday. Mostly on spreadsheets or C programs. I made a handy calculator app for android for their cellphones so they don't have to boot up their PC every time. It has been surprisingly popular! The fun stuff is that I don't need to code in Java or XML, I just need to place blocks: That's right, blocks of logic and Voila! I made an app! This is very intuitive. My programmer friend does not hold it in very high regard though, he thinks it's more of a crutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
