however sadly alibabba seems to have failed me for once.. ive seen acetone peroxide, MEKP... FOOD GRADE COPPER AND CD's.. but manganese heptoxide.. no dice :/

This was a fun one, at least for a while anyway.

Also this little exchange:

hmm, can;t remember who said it, or where but here goes (it was in a thread that had something to do with vacating lab):
''nobody said that shed time and pussy-access have to be mutually exclusive''
that one still cracks my up (might just put it on a sign in my new lab

Indeed, he is quite fond of his shed.

don't know if it directs you to exactly the right place. but after i posted the pic of a hure mortar and pestle full of 2kg's NiCl2. bfesser quoted the pic, added a facepalm and wrote: ''how not to use a mortar and pestle "

Speaking of bfesser, this is just beautiful: https://www.sciencemadness.org/whisper/viewthread.php?tid=23...
Hadn't seen it until just now.

Let's all chill. You know, in honor of the date today

Sauron:
Which anniversary have you in mind?

It's my wife's birthday April 20

Also Adolf Hitler's birthday.

Somehow I doubt you had either in mind.


But it's really the entire thread that's funny. Polverone starts a thread on not to start flame wars, (heated) non-chem arguments,... and what does it turn into? exactly that!

But the most fun part about it is that he is from Bosnia iirc. I can recognize some of the balkan mindset in his posts and that makes it even more funny, yeah vulture-admin-is-a-gay was one of the best )

Look at the son and daughter:

You just might need to wash it with sodium bicarbonate and redistill/dry it, but that's way less work than starting from scratch again.

Alright, who registered "Brain&Farce?"

read from the 7th post by Paregoric Kid

the best is the way they write chemical equations(the post by DCBA), and the fun only begins from there

i wonder what nicodem would say to them

Threads like this are some of the best of SM, sadly these days it seems like these detailed and well made write ups are few and far between

Better than "Drain&Farce" I suppose.

Kind of sad that someone would consider mildly funny banter as "the best of SM".

The best is of course actual experiments, not hypothetical drivel. I might be biased, but for me the most relevant contributions happen to be more or less blatant cookery, e.g. https://www.sciencemadness.org/whisper/viewthread.php?tid=11...
Substance abuse is a good motivator.

The term "Best of SM" was meant sarcastically. Ever heard of the Best of Craigslist? This is the best burn I've ever seen on the forum.

Sorry,

I thought MY post was funny. I'm not enticing people to blow them selves up!

Maybe to giggle a little...

Gas was evolved in all samples, all acids. Most vigorous with HCl, tested +ve for CO2. I would go get the notes, but there's a snake in the shed again at the moment. When they're happy and at ease they move slowly. If Startled, they could easily smash up my glassware. Usually they are gone in the morning.

Ammonium bitartrate is even more insoluble than cesium bitartrate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility_table (1.88% at 10 C and 2.7% at 20 C) In general bitartrate salts of monovalent ions are very insoluble, although sodium is (usually!) the exception. I believe lithium bitartrate also has high solubility. Zinc forms double salts; magnesium inhibits the deposition of tartrates. Quite simply, the ion is a jerk. Hexamethonium bitartrate on the other hand has a very high solubility because it is a double quaternary ammonium salt which cannot form a tightly bonded crystal structure with bitartrate ions. It's possible that lysine or arginine could be used as the base, though, since their bitartrates should be quite soluble. It should be possible to obtain these. But I still think sodium bitartrate can work pretty well as long as you're careful with the stoichiometry. Calcium nitrate might also work, since cesium nitrate has roughly the same solubility as cesium bitartrate, whereas Ca(NO3)2 is extremely soluble. [Edited on 1-11-2017 by clearly_not_atara]
