ok here's a transcript. double-checking it...

there's just enough ambiguity about some of the characters that I'm not certain I can commit to this transcript entirely. I suspect the period might be just what it is in English, punctuation, but we'll see (maybe)

"TEMPO" is a common abbreviation for 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-N-oxyl, a rare example of a _stable free radical_. put a pic of it down below

most chemical compounds have all their electrons in pairs. each atomic or molecular orbital can hold two, of opposing spin. molecules with only _one_ electron in an orbital are *generally* unstable under usual conditions, highly reactive and short-lived species that like to grab or give up an electron from anything they bash into

remember, @chara_dreemurr@plural.cafe, if you get out of line, I'll ask @MsToriel here to give you the side eye

I don't think you can withstand the Toriel side eye

woohoo, Kara's girlfriend got her an Eva-02 model kit, which she is now calling "her mom" because Kara's a weirdo

I also wish Kara hadn't shattered the glass over her phone's camera like a month after getting the phone

I kinda wanna play with the hypervalent iodine stuff but only with polymer-bound versions. that would offer an easy way to recover and reuse the precious iodine

it's totally a thing. here's a randomly chosen Google Images result for polymer-bound IBX ("IBX" is the usual abbreviation for "iodoxybenzoic acid" which is really a benziodoxole derived from oxidation of 2-iodobenzoic acid)

#chemistry

yup an entire book about one dish

hot damn you can get disodium diammonium EDTA as a pool chemical? pure (ish)? hot damn. complexometric titration here I come #chemistry

oh yeh this reminds me that one day I wanna try seeing if I can modify a "tuning fork" quartz crystal for use as a nanobalance. take advantage of the fact that it's got balanced tines, maybe...I'd need to study just how these things are used electrically

ugh "Murder She Wrote" isn't good but I kinda wanna watch another anyway. damn you Angela Lansbury, you got me brainwashed or something

kinda want this but then I would have to figure out how I would actually use it

it'd probably just become another lump of useless technology in the basement

Kara got me a gift

oh, maybe I showed this off already, but it's the one piece of art showing me. that's Kel the Purple on the branch

🐉 :}

art is by a horse friend on Twitter, Toledo the Horse

so, since it turns out I'm actually a _girl_ horse, does that mean I can wear a panama hat now? my putatively-male predecessor wanted to affect a panama hat like Hidaro Shotaro from "Kamen Rider W" (pictured) but my girlfriend said "absolutely not"--and still says it :( https://computerfairi.es/media/Ax0zu0eBS6jNssmMbS8
