Had to do a flame test to identify old fuel for recycling.
Made blue dye from indigo, and red and orange dye from madder, mixing in alum and other things. Making blue is amazing, it comes out green then changes colour all at once. Get the mix wrong and you get the wrong colour.... Also we boiled one batch of madder and got orange instead of scarlet, so even the temperature had to be regulated.
Most recently, been making etched plates from the inside of soft drink cans, etching with copper sulfate (they sell it in Bunnings as a fertiliser). Lots of fun!
So yeah mostly art projects.
That said even baking a cake is pretty fancy chemistry.
Plenty. I have had people tell me I am inhumane for criticising tipping culture, and if I point out it is related to the extreme class system and slavery history of America they downvote me to hell and try to justify that it is "land of tha free" or whatever.
They don't even have freedom from hunger or illness in their messed up country.
Have you not played Dwarf Fortress? Frame rate goes way down, a situation imperceptible to the dorfs. Then eventually the operator of the machine looses interest, or a oandemic makes the pop count drop, or a combo of those.
Edit; You should read some Greg Egan if you're into this question.
I have seen classical guitars that do, not unlike a cello, but cannot steer you at a specific brand.
I do, and he reads them days later and apologises.
Now that he is overseas on a business trip he reads them all immediately, but apparently in-house is not an option.
Rewatching Buffy (It is surprisingly good for a show a quarter century old)
Rewatched Super 8 with a friend. Best train crash ever.
Rewatching Bluey. Odd how a wholesome show can make you feel so patriotic.
Watching Earth, a BBC production about the creation of our world, which is on ABC iView at the moment. Really epic BBC production, although the accent of the presenter is echoed in the subtitles which is pretty distracting. He pronounces many of his Rs as Ws. Worth it for the nuts and bolts of how eukaryotes and fungi evolved, etc. I do recommend. Plus free to watch!
I was using a thimble when I did that. The needle popped through the thin metal of the thimble, through my finger, and hit the inside of the thimble on the other side. I couldn't remove the thimble, I tried but the needle was locking it on my finger. I had to pull the needle out through my finger, then remove, by which time the thimble was full of blood....
Just because he can see X-rays (or other radiation) doesn't mean his eyes emit the X-rays.
