We only had one science teacher ballsy enough to do experiments, he reminds me of Santa Claus/ John Hammond, but he did the 5L bottle with misted ethanol torch a bunch to get peoples attention when talking during a learning video lol
Yea I will say I got 0 skills from science in school. I wish I had, but I did not. I was extremely adhd had to leave class to take meds for lunch blah blah I didnt learn much in school
Im glad knowledge turned out to be something I love when I became older and since a young adult I have been all about soaking up as much as I can I still feel like I missed out a little in school
Luckily there’s youtube and other sources for us these days
Back on topic, anyone reading this looking for the basics. Google how to make rock candy, it’s the same shit.
You can also read the numerous threads about it here, do your homework, experiment, and when you think you have some questions, experiment some more.
I’ll repeat this again, the basic principles are middle school stuff. If you’re having questions about this I question your ability to do this stuff safely.
If you’re some investor or any one else who doesn’t wanna do the homework, you can pay plenty of people for a consultation here.
@cyclopath, except that sugar is not quite as costly as biomass and Butane is a bit more volatile than water
Don’t get me wrong, I get it that some of the pros around here are running short on spoons, but better to ask than to end up lying in a pile of burnt rubble. I have attempted to keep my dumass questions to a minimum and prefer to silently read all or at least much of the wealth of knowledge on this site… but sometimes a question or two for confirmation can take a bit of the trepidation out of the equation.
If I can, pretty much anyone can. I’m not some smarty pants.
@MTOG, I’m by no means a pro. And while I can understand the argument you are making, someone who can’t google super solution really shows how either lazy or lacking they are. Especially when it’s been explained very recently here.
I made an analogy to video games earlier in another thread. But to keep it more on topic, coming in and asking questions like this are the equivalent of asking how to add or subtract in a calculus class to me.
You’re expected to know the basics before you walk into the classroom I say.
@Curious_Roberto I agree 100%, but can for sure see at least a part of the other side. With that being said, I deplore laziness and everyone should attempt to learn basics BEFORE asking dumass questions… but they don’t. Maybe some sort of algorithm that would require a certain amount of threads read or hours spent reading would be in order… in a perfect world
can i say one thing? i spend days on here reading and shit… and EVERY post im on reading seems like everyone is sharing stuff and asking questions they are getting answered then comes curious_roberto or wtf ever being a totall ass. wtf is ur deal bro… not everyone knows what u do. we all trying to learn.
I love that people skimming through the threads complain about @Curious_Roberto’s blunt delivery of the truth. If you can’t handle the heat, get outta the kitchen.
