“Brown food tastes good” has been etched into my memory for years.

My issue with this is the related journals reskeeting the main post about an article for more visibility. It turns into me rapidly scrolling through 10 posts of the same article.

Laundry’s expensive, yo! I’ll never go without in-unit laundry ever again

There is one thing that’s the same everywhere though. I went to one of the restaurants in town that’s open at lunch - McDonald’s - and got a completely incorrect order.

Being back in my tiny hometown after being in Philadelphia for so long is really strange. I was able to walk into the pharmacy and say “I’m here to pick up some medicine for my mom” and get her prescription, no questions asked. Showed a voided check, no ID, at the bank and withdrew $200 in quarters.

I’ve tried MgCl2 and that didn’t work for me. Haven’t tried ZnCl2, but i know that one’s reported to work pretty well too.

Easy Removal of Triphenylphosphine Oxide from Reaction Mixtures by Precipitation with CaBr2 A reliable and scalable purification procedure for the easy removal of triphenylphosphine oxide by complexation with CaBr2 in ethereal solvents or toluene was developed. The resulting insoluble precip...

Calcium bromide precipitation of triphenylphosphine oxide is such a handy method of removal. Just used it to clean up a phosphorus ylide, and it worked like a charm!

All good! I should have clarified in the original post. I’ve sublimated it 3 times 😢

The extra peak is my sample, this is after moving the electrodes a little

This is in the glovebox with <1 ppm O2, and degassed (4x freeze-pump-thaw) acetonitrile 😭

Does anyone in the #chemsky universe know what would cause these weird inversed ferrocene peaks? I can fix them by jiggling the electrodes around some, but I have no idea what’s causing them in the first place?

The best way to start the day: getting those morning rubs on your favorite anemone!

Were there supposed to be!?

I really needed at least one more season. Such a good show.

Injected residual mesityl azide into my finger after drawing it into a syringe. Be safe with needles, everyone!

so many ppl have left twitter they should call it ex

The way they tried to do some photoshop magic on Stephen Miller to make him not look terrifying ended up making him look even scarier here.

Update: I can apparently catalytically delete the color blue. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Time to figure out what the products are!

I didn’t! It actually worked just fine as is. I was just surprised to open a brand new bottle of fluffy orange powder when I know it should be white (our ancient bottle of the chloride/hydrochloride is still white).

I’m going to start calling my oily black tars ‘off-white solids’ from now on lol

Tonight I’m deleting the color blue.. and also flipping the script a little. Colorless copper compound + dark blue phenoxy radical —> colorless copper compound, apparently. 🤷🏼‍♂️

It’s hard as hell to leave the other place- I’ve been there for over 15 years, since I was a sophomore in high school. Tried my hardest to hold my nose when the new guy took over, but I think it’s time. How blue are the skies here?
