EPA Proposes Ban on Pesticide Widely Used on Fruits and Vegetables
  • That's very cool! Chemistry was always my most difficult subject (biology major). We use acetanilide at work as standard reference material for stable isotope analysis of particulate organic matter (e.g., phytoplankton/marine snow), basically as a quality check since it has similar carbon and nitrogen signatures. Always excited to learn interesting science facts! :)

  • Just used spray foam for the first time...
  • This is excellent advice actually! My first instinct after getting it on my skin was to wash it off with soap and water, and learned afterwards that water causes it to cure faster. So it would make sense to dampen the wood to get it to stick better

  • Totally random and off-topic, but I like your username. Was literally looking up how potentially toxic acetanilide is the other day when we received a small shipment of it at work. Do you have a fun origin story for your username or any fun facts about the substance?

    Just used spray foam for the first time...

    It's on everything, my fingernails are glued to my skin underneath, I hate everything and most of all I hate spray foam.

    Thanks for letting me rant. I normally read instructions before using a product and now I'm avoiding the room where it's on everything... How fucked am I?

    Update: We've cleaned most of it up from the room... Our hands, not so much lol. I appreciate the advice and support, hopefully y'all got a good laugh on our behalf :)

    Ps. It works great as a diy wax for hairy arms!

  • Batterules
    Are you registered to donate your organs? Why or why not?
  • I am curious, what are your religious beliefs on this? And would you be willing to accept a donated organ to save your life?

    I am not sure why you are getting downvoted for answering the question. Yes, lemmy tends to have fewer religious people, but it's upsetting that others are quick to downvote anyone expressing their religious beliefs. Personally I am agnostic, however I respect that everyone has the right to their beliefs.
