If you are a chemistry major (in the USA if it matters) and you have a choice between taking Physics with or without calculus (one year of either), which is going to be more useful later on in chemistry either in school or on the job? I know the calculus based one is probably harder and more time consuming, but I think it's do-able if there are advantages later on... submitted by /u/tellypmoon [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey, so ive heard that nitrocellulose lacquer doesnt ever really cure. As a guitar player and certified chem-phobic this got me worried about some guitars i own that are finished with this lacquer. My concern is, is since it supposedly doesnt cure is it safe to handle? For example, if i play my guitar then go cuddle my dog is she getting nitro on her? Ive heard it can be nasty stuff in the manufacturing process. Anyway, probably a silly question since so many guitars are finished every year in America with this lacquer but i figured i may as well ask. submitted by /u/paranoia1155 [visit redd ..read more
