« on: 14/11/2023 13:57:59 »

While the original post is from two years ago, the topic of vaping and its health effects remains relevant. Research in this field continues to evolve, but as of my last knowledge update in January 2022, vaping was associated with certain risks.
It's important to note that new research findings may have emerged since then, so I would recommend checking the latest studies and reports for the most up-to-date information on the harmful effects of vaping. And if you're interested in exploring alternative ways to relax, you might consider looking into the <site removed>. Stay informed and make informed choices regarding your health.

Chemistry / Re: What is easiest way to make water glass from sand?

« on: 23/03/2023 09:50:32 »

You can make sodium silicate water glass by heating sand in a pot until it is white hot and then adding lye or sodium hydroxide. This will create a reaction that will produce a glassy substance that can be cooled and hardened. You may need to add more lye or sodium hydroxide to get the desired consistency.

Question of the Week / Re: QotW - 22.05.23 - Where does the potential energy of a spring go in acid?

« on: 23/03/2023 09:48:48 »

The potential energy of the compressed coil spring is converted into thermal energy as the spring is dissolved in the acid. The thermal energy is released into the environment as heat.

Question of the Week / Re: QotW - 22.07.11 - How dangerous is an explosion on the moon?

Yes, an explosion on the moon would likely be more powerful than one on Earth, due to the lack of atmosphere and other factors on the moon that would dampen the explosion.

Question of the Week / Re: QotW - 22.07.04 - Why can't I open a fridge door immediately after closing it?

« on: 23/03/2023 09:43:09 »

It is likely due to a built-in mechanism in your refrigerator designed to create an airtight seal when the door is closed. This helps to maintain the temperature inside the fridge and conserve energy.

Any massage is a great way to relax the body. As for the erotic massage that Seslawian is talking about, it's a bit different.
