a man and a woman are talking in a kitchen and the woman says you fold it in Alt: David and Moira from Schmitt's Creek are talking in a kitchen and Moira explains the next step in a recipe by saying "you fold it in" but David doesn't know what that means. It turns out Moira doesn't either so they go back and forth.

The only exception to this rule is when I'm trying to learn a technique, then a quick video demonstration is ok.

Lab staff should be trained on wearing respiratory protection, full stop. It’s not a question of what the analyst does on a daily basis, it’s a question of what could go wrong nearby. #ChemSky #SciSky #EHSky

Perfect! Done! Disappointed to see that I'm not key #000000001.

Congrats on getting this set up, hopefully it makes your life easier to drop the bad bots.

I'm not seeing a key request / sign-up on the profile page, when will that be ready?

I spent the past few minutes looking for my safety glasses on my desk. Turns out they were already on my face. It's gonna be a day... #ChemChat

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*

Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.

GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH

It looks like my Sigma Aldrich mug!

great analysis

I have more conference abstract acceptances than travel dollars this year - likely a regular occurrence for many but a first for me! #ChemChat

This skeet raises something important from Unicode (arguably a ruler of the internet).

The existence of both 🌭 and 🥪indicates that a hotdog is *not* a sandwich, since the rules for emoticons state they should be categorical instead of nuanced classifications (e.g. 🐸 represents all amphibians).

The disappointment of thinking you've invented something new, only to find a paper from last century where someone did it already... That's the real life of a chemist. #ChemChat

Stable power is optional for TCD filaments and boards right? :/

Power is out in the area. We're on a generator in our building, but the failover to the generator (and return to the mains supply too) causes a 10s outage. We can't actually do any lab work because we don't know when the power will inevitably go out. #ChemChat

Shitposting is my day job('s periodic coffee break activity).

My balance manufacturer wishes for me to know how to test the sensitivity, repeatability, and eccentricity of my equipment.

No problem! #ChemChat

Regardless of the number of #F1 overtakes, people complain about them. #AusGP had "too many back-and-forth overtakes". Previously we had "too many DRS-aided overtakes". Simultaneously, #MonacoGP has "not enough overtakes". You can't ask for more passing, then complain about all of what is offered.

Car wash set up to help with Fredericton chemical spill, but some say response is too slow | CBC News The New Brunswick government has set up a special car wash for people who drove through a chemical spill on the Vanier Highway in Fredericton between Wednesday evening and Friday at 4 p.m. AT, but som...

Correction: it's hexavalent chromium

Drivers can get a government funded Hazmat carwash but by now many have washed their own cars in their own driveways.

N.B. government closes roads to clean up chemical spill in Fredericton | CBC News Roads in Fredericton have been closed or subject to lane reductions as the New Brunswick government cleans up a yellow substance that was spilled in the city's east end.

😱 There was a chemical spill on a road in New Brunswick that contained chromium (exact type not clarified). It sat there for two days before the road was closed. It spread chromium waste over 14 kilometres (9 miles) of road and hundreds of cars. #ChemSky #ChemChat

If 2026 F1 cars turn out to be boring, you can always tune into F2, where teammates crashed, the safety car picked up the wrong guy and gave someone else the lead, but he sped in the pits to lose it anyway, and the racing is so wide open and unpredictable you can't look away.

Stroll did 3 laps in FP1, none at racing pace (30s off the best times) and then quit. Later in practice they announced he wouldn't be back because of a power unit failure. Forget fears of not finishing the race, what are the odds they can even put up a 107% lap in quali? #F1
