@statussquatter @malerbabomba@mastodon.bida.im Dubito, l'ultima volta che sono stato a contatto di lacrimogeni ero in Slovenia, a Ljubljana durante una grande manifestazione contro le misure per il covid a cui non ho preso parte.
Il gas è andato in tutta la città, anche a un paio di chilometri di distanza si sentivano gli effetti, io mi rifugiai in casa a circa 500 metri dal punto in cui erano stati sparati e per oltre un'ora non si riuscì a respirare bene.
Inoltre avere un ombrello in manifestazione può essere additato come arma impropria senza fornirti effettivamente alcun vantaggio reale.
Con un ombrello impedisci che la granata ti cada sotto i piedi e la fai cadere magari una decina di metri più in là, però il gas si diffonde rapidamente, soprattutto nelle vie chiuse di una città.

@malerbabomba@mastodon.bida.im Opinione da chimico senza alcuna conoscenza specifica sui gas lacrimogeni: dubito che l'utilizzo di bicarbonato abbia effetti lenitivi; potrebbe anzi infiammare l'occhio ulteriormente in elevate concentrazioni.
Qui riporta un solo esempio di lacrimogeno e non è acido https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tear_gas non so effettivamente quali siano i lacrimogeni più diffusi, ma dubito che si tratti di acidi.
Immagino che le azioni migliori da prendere siano lavare gli occhi copiosamente con acqua o con una soluzione salina e lavarsi la faccia con sapone.

Inoltre, il Maalox non contiene bicarbonato come eccipiente: https://www.torrinomedica.it/schede-farmaci/maalox_tc/

Riguardo invece alla respirazione la cosa migliore sono ovviamente le maschere antigas. Dubito che le mascherine per i virus abbiano un qualunque potere bloccante, l'unica cosa che mi viene in mente è avvolgersi la faccia in un panno imbevuto di acqua e sapone, questo potrebbe diminuire la quantità di composto inalato.

La soluzione migliore per non venire danneggiati dal gas è ovviamente non venirne a contatto, pertanto spostarsi rapidamente quando vengono sparati e disattivare le granate cadute. Dubito che durante una manifestazione esistano maniere efficaci per impedire chimicamente la diffusione del gas, dunque l'opzione migliore è quella fisica: chiudere la granata all'interno di un barattolo di vetro spesso dovrebbe essere una buona opzione per impedirne la diffusione nell'area. C'è il problema che qualcuno deve sacrificarsi avvicinandosi molto rapidamente, la cosa più efficace sarebbe un gruppo di persone attrezzate con maschere antigas che ricoprano specificamente questo ruolo, ma qui ovviamente stiamo parlando di un livello di organizzazione parecchio elevato.

@amberxorluci I'd love to boost them again, unfortunately after a week or so they're lost forever...

@chsjuniper @jschauma What is the better alternative right now?

@TheStrugglingScientists 11/05 - I did an experiment, results are interesting
22/05 - The methodology I tried with the last three results didn't work out
12/10 - Results were incorrect

@hackernews@die-partei.social Depends, if they made the company lose money then I don't really care what should happen to them, stock holders will decide.
If the company made something highly immoral or illegal then no, they should not be held accountable or fired, they should be trialed and arrested.

@yngmar @fribbledom I've been using knobs to regulate the gas flow in my stoves all my life, I never had one break. I never had problems with water leaking into them. Induction heating stoves create problems every couple of days.

@Twitter_expat@mastodon.world @UnFitz@mstdn.party Frankly no idea, but I guess smoking the meat would be easier than producing and carrying salt.

@fennek Have you never heard about the conspiracy which claims that Mastodon blood is being poured into drinking water in order to infect all the people and make them all slaves of the big mammoth?
Images in which a mammoth is called a Mastodon are widespread and used as evidence of this theory.

You know, Soros was one of the first infected persons and he even went that far to create a social network, obviously named Mastodon, to put together all enslaved people and organise their next actions against humanity.

Now, posting a picture of a mammoth on Mastodon and calling it a Mastodon definitely provides this people with a good point that they're on the right track to uncover the conspiracy.

Posta anche tu la tua bestemmia quotidiana e condividi le più originali prodotte dai tuoi amici. (In associazione con l'associazione ebrei Italiani e preti uniti della chiesa Luterana. Avvertenza: la bestemmia è un reato che può nuocere gravemente alla salute, consulta il tuo confessore prima e dopo ogni post.)

@fennek indeed, thank you @mxk it's exactly this kind of mistakes that fuels fakes news and makes people believe in the Mastodon blood conspiracy. @UnFitz@mstdn.party

Every once in a while I get into conversations here on Mastodon that don't end up well.
I try to improve myself, could you please take a look at this one and tell me where I've been so rude and aggressive and how I could have handled it better? I realise my final answer could be interpreted aggressive, but I do not see the problem in everything else I have written.
I went through it a few times and if anything it appears to me that he was a bit quick to conclude and disrespectful, but just to a very small extent which does not cause problems and which is to be expected when you start talking with someone you don't know.

Please, refrain from interacting with the guy unless you knew him before: he blocked me and directing people towards talking to him would be a bad practice, I just want some insight on my behaviour.

@EeeeWooo I disagree with you. I would not like people copying stuff I'm posting on Mastodon and putting it on other social networks, this is generally considered a bad practice and somewhat disrespectful. I don't see why you'd endorse doing it on another social network. I have no idea about the US, I'm most certain doing this in the EU would break some rules, even though I doubt police would act on it.
If you don't want to open tiktok you're free to do it, and you're free to block people sharing tiktok links so that you're sure you won't open it by mistake. But I see plenty plausible reasons to share such links and I don't think copying the video to be a better solution.

@mcaleerp There are two kinds of articles:
1. We synthesized the compound and analysed it through mass spectrometry.
2. We took a 235g round bottom flask, cleaned it with acetone and slowly poured in 50 ml of solvent...

@EeeeWooo Look at this cool thing I found *original source*
Look what bad behaviour social media is inducing on people*original source*
Look how some people are improving interactions on tik tok *original source*

I can imagine plenty legitimate reasons to share a link to tiktok.
Copy the video and post it here might not be nice, specially if it is private or contains confidential information. I'm not sure you'd be confirming with the policies of tiktok by copying the video and most likely you'd be breaking some copyright or privacy policy.

@KristianHarstad Hey, I'm sorry I didn't mean to be rude; I just like to talk about the scientific method with fellow scientists sometimes, I didn't think you were feeling attacked as that was not my objective.
I just replied punctually what I think about the things you said, because I believe you're wrong. That's why I pointed out facts simple to recognise that contrasted with what you said.

By all means, say what you wish on your timeline, I didn't want to imply you shouldn't, I just found the post on mine and thought this could be a nice conversation.
Only one thing: the fact that you graduated at Cambridge is irrelevant. Don't take this as an insult, it just appears to me that you're using that as a sign of superiority.
