Wrong wording from my side, I meant an aquatic solution of the salt. Not the puresalt as solid.

I wrote SDS for commercial products in the late 2000s and that sure was a rude awakening to the “there are no grownups” realization I think people go through when they realize the people in charge aren’t there for their knowledge and oversight 😅

Well shit, so much for my believe in proper safety data. Admittedly, your point is just one more data point in a direction I don’t particularly like.

I tried to check how the regulation is in the EU, but I couldn’t find a direct explanation if the ingredient as used during the mixing stage is to be given or as present in the mixture. The wording I found always just mentioned ingredients. I mean, I agree with you, it makes more sense to have the present form written down, if known. As example: Acetate anhydride is fucking toxic as hell, mixed in water its acetic acid and non toxic. I just thought there might have been a legal reason that overrides it.

And it seems they either agree with you or changed now completely to the dihydrate version, as the newest SDS I found has the same ingredient for both versionsbof the product.

And your example with sodium bisulfite is really angering me. Offgassing is exactly one of those properties that can lead to accidents if people don’t realise its happening. I checked a German SDS for this salt and it also only said that it is offgassing with acids. Seems everybody copies everybody there…

So I take it it’s the same as in uni days: ask people who worked with it before to get more reliable info about the handling. And adjust for the personal safety standards that person has.

The reason is probably a legal issue: they have to name exactly the ingredients as used. And one did use the hydrated form and the other one didn’t. So while it doesnt really matter for the end user, the workers used different versions, need to check different SDS and adhere to them. And then these differences were printed on the label.

Is it pedantic? Sure as hell.

But there are edge cases where things like these can make a difference and where pedantry protects from harm. This… is not such a case ;)

For sure, the child will never have problems with bees again!

As a chemist: the CAS numbers are different, because the compounds are not the same. If a salt contains water inside it or not is very important to know, because it changes the molecular weight and sometimes the reactivity.

If a salt contains a hydrate and you don’t expect it, that would mean you add too little of this active ingredient. Or worse the other way around: maybe you have a reaction where the active ingredient is very aggressive and you can not use more than absolutely necessary. Then a salt without hydrate, but where you thought it would be with the water, could lead to an accident, because you added too much.

Yep and this case is exactly the strength of the fediverse: transparency and choice for the users and the admins. And those developers tried to break both.

Depends on what you like. The main character Shinji gets a lot of flak from people calling him weak and wimpy, while that is the whole point of the series: him addressing his anxiety and social problems.

I liked it a lot, since the aesthetic design of the robots and the angels is right up my alley. I also like the way every one of the characters is broken and noone is a hero.

But be warned: from the normal watching of the series you will not understand the background story. The series is about interhuman mental problems and big robots fighting big aliens is the way this series addresses it. There is a lot of techno babble speak which doesnt make sense, so don’t try to understand it too much. Lean back and enjoy the big fights destroying cities and then seeing them later being rebuilt again. There is a lot of engineering porn in NGE and I enjoy it immensely.

I mean… NGE was written for this question to not have a positive sounding answer. Your favourite NGE character is instead the diagnosis for your mental disorder.

Except Pen², as everybody knows.

Here is the origin of that one.

Its just about somebody misunderstanding the context of their current position in a way that is funny to outsiders who know the context.

Yes, but the point the comic portrays wrong is that it is not about the gender affirming care, but about the hypocrisy.

If you use it, then I don’t have a problem with that. Just shut up and let other people use it as well.

Well said! In addition as others already said in the past: why be proud of something you have no influence on? I’m not proud that the sun was shining yesterday, because I had no influence on it.

And if you liked SEL, similar in tone and atmosphere are Ergo Proxy, Wolfs Rain and for a mix of wholesome and existential dread: Haibane Renmei.

Oh that is concerning, thanks for the information. But yeah, I didn’t realize anything different when I last week bought something compared to last time some years ago.

Ooohh, yeah now it makes more sense. I saw it exactly like you.

Wait, Dorian Gray is gay? Shouldn’t he be bisexual as he is infatuated with a girl in the beginning?

Easy, show me the left aligned billionaires that own media channels.

George Soros is an often used Boogeyman by the far right, but as far as I’m aware he doesn’t own a media empire like Springer, Murdoch and all the other ghouls.

Your rebuttal is not working though. His proposition is bonkers crazy and neither correlated nor causally connected, so exact opposite of yours.

Honestly I’m annoyed at Shield Hero for the possibilities they wasted. Make a defensive hero? Emphasise the importance of support and team work in a fight instead of raw power on a single individual? Naahhh, screw that! Let’s give the support hero the uberpowerful aggressive mode and make him the messiah and single saviour.

Arrrghhh, whyyyyy?!?!??

Nah, CRPG as in classical RPGs, the Baldurs Gates and Pillars of Eternities. I have never seen CRPG standing for Chinese RPG. But spelling it out at least once would help solve that problem, yes.
