I just assume there is some level of water in the ethanol part

Yes that's where I was suspecting you could have taste altering salts.

Seems like ph sensor for alcohol would be expensive

I was just imagining pH strips.

I probably should evaporate the alcohol layer to see if I get any potassium carbonate back

that's a good idea.

It seems like it's just "where do you live?", and "when are you out of town?".

When you ignited it would potassium carbonate in the water in the alcohol have formed KOH? Maybe you could detect pH?

I mean getting it out of the alcohol, or maybe I mean getting it out of the water in the alcohol. I don't think reclaiming the salt from the lower level is hard.

What worked for me was taking my meds the same moment I put on deoderant. That way I can double check whether I took them by smelling my armpit before I leave the house.

instead of a war on poverty

we've got a war on drugs

so the police can bother me

After decanting the alcohol can you precipitate out the salt?

Where are you sourcing pemmican? Doesn't it take a year to make?

An opthalmologist?

Horses are a king's best friend. Dogs are for people.

Neat! I'd thought about doing this before so it's cool to see you've done it. Although I would want to taste it. Surely it's salty right?

Doesn't really seem like an igloo entrance to me. The entrance is too big (would let too much warmth out) and it doesn't seem to be made of blocks. But I could be wrong.

 

I glove you.

 

My neighbour (40/m) ("N") confided that his recently retired father (70/m) ("G") has started going to the casino twice a day (all day but he comes home for dinner).

G's losses affect the food they eat (multi generational household).

N doesn't really know what to do. I'm not so concerned for N, moreso his mother/G's wife.

It's not my business but, when I was a kid my boyscout leader committed suicide after gambling away his house so I'm pretty sensitive to this sort of thing. I'd like to help if I can.

Any advice?

This goose has adopted my parents, and is attempting to establish residency in their cabin. We suspect it is domestic and escaped from its coop. It's a seasonal cabin and they're planning to close up soon. What should they do? Central Ontario. Near Bracebridge.

UPDATE: A neighbor of theirs is set up for chickens, so could accommodate a goose. And shortly after making that arrangement an ad appeared in the community message board. So the goose is going home.

 

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the scale of the problem of nuclear waste. If we took all the nuclear waste produced in a year and evenly blended it into all gasoline burned in a year would the radiation be deadly? Dangerous? Detectable?

It's easiest to get numbers for the US.

2 000 000 kg of waste per year

510 000 000 000 Liters of gasoline

Obviously this isn't a real proposal, although I think it would reduce carbon emissions...

 

Wikipedia says

A superhero or superheroine is a stock character that typically possesses superpowers, abilities beyond those of ordinary people, and fits the role of the hero, typically using their powers to help the world become a better place, or dedicating themselves to protecting the public and fighting crime.

So yes, he is definitely dedicated to protecting the public, but it feels wrong to call him a super hero. What do you think?
