I remember reading about a chemistry teacher found dead one morning. he had a habit of consuming the laboratory's ethanol after hours, and the night before had accidentally poured himself a glass of methanol

Methanol: not even once

What's wrong with a little piss chug every here and there? Asking for a friend.

Nothing as long as it's not out of a beaker :)

I've done this. Chemistry equipment is good for bongs too.

I themed the wet bar in my basement as a laboratory. There's a drying rack on the wall that I use to store 15 mL beakers that I use a shot glasses. It's fun. I've also found that a hot plate stirer with a thermometer probe and a vacuum filtration setup makes the best clarified butter easy as a snap!

Whenever I toast with beakers, I yell out "TO SCIENCE!"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Unless you're drinking port, in which case you legally have to yell "TO INDUSTRY!"

I'm just glad she's wearing earings and makeup like a good female.

Have we communally decided where the proper line should be drawn between lifestyle acceptance, and calling out stereotypes in media? I get what you're insinuating, but some women do actually seem to enjoy wearing earrings. You could just as notably call out the fact that she has long hair.

Some women also commit suicide by drinking lethal chemicals, but that doesn't mean this picture makes sense.

Ya, that...... that's my point...

Women doing science? Preposterous.

...my wife's a mad scientist: well, she's a senior scientist and she's mad pretty often...

Way to demonstrate the proper usage of PPE there!
