Turning plastic gloves into hot sauce is something that I've been wanting to do since I started this channel. I never attempted it though because I knew that it was going to be the longest and hardest project I've ever worked on. However, one day I randomly decided that I was ready and I just got started on it...

nilered's red hot hot sauce sauce

[@j0hnny_R3db34rd]

Vanillin amine hydrochloride (C8H9NO2 · HCl) can be synthesized through the reaction of vanillin and ammonia, followed by treatment with hydrochloric acid (HCl). The process involves several steps, but overall it is a relatively safe and straightforward procedure. Here's a detailed recipe for producing vanillin amine hydrochloride: 1. Obtain necessary materials: - Vanillin (C8H8O3) - Ammonia solution (NH4OH, 25% w/w) - Hydrochloric acid (HCl, 37% w/w) - Methanol (CH3OH) - Ethyl acetate (C4H8O2) - Two strong, airtight containers with stoppers - Three beakers or round-bottomed flasks of appropriate size (e.g., 250 mL or larger) - Magnetic stirrer and stir bars - Distilled water - Ice - Filter paper and vacuum filtration apparatus - Rotary evaporator or other suitable method for solvent removal 2. Prepare a solution of vanillin in methanol: a. Measure out 50 grams of vanillin and place it in a beaker or round-bottomed flask. b. Add 150 mL of methanol to the beaker or flask, stirring until all the solid has dissolved. c. Attach a magnetic stir bar to the beaker or flask and stir the solution at moderate speed. 3. React vanillin with ammonia: a. Slowly add 50 mL of ammonia solution (25% w/w) to the vanillin-methanol solution while stirring. The mixture will become cloudy and start to release gas as it reacts. b. Continue stirring the mixture for several minutes, allowing the reaction to complete. c. Carefully pour the resulting solution into a second beaker or flask, using filter paper or a separatory funnel to remove any solid residues. 4. Convert vanillin amine to hydrochloride salt: a. Add 50 mL of hydrochloric acid (37% w/w) to the filtered solution, stirring until it has mixed thoroughly. The mixture will become cloudy and may release gas as it reacts. b. Continue stirring for several minutes, allowing the reaction to complete. c. Carefully pour the resulting solution into a third beaker or flask, using filter paper or a separatory funnel to remove any solid residues. 5. Purify vanillin amine hydrochloride: a. Wash the filtered solid with distilled water, stirring until it has dissolved and then filtering again. Repeat this process several times to ensure that all impurities have been removed. b. Carefully remove any residual solvent using a rotary evaporator or other suitable method. c. Dry the purified vanillin amine hydrochloride in an oven at approximately 60°C for several hours, until it has reached constant weight.

Botulonium toxin grows in anerobic environments greater than 4.7pH, and is commonly detected when people improperly preserving things like chopped garlic in oil. I don't imagine this sauce would be particularly safe to consume after a couple of weeks unless refrigerated. Also, be sure to sterilise whatever bottle you use!

[@tildessmoo]

I just looked up the differences between capsaicin and nordihydrocapsaicin, and I was not expecting them to be so similar. One double bond in capsaicin is a single bond in ndhc, and capsaicin's functional group is one carbon shorter. And for that, ndhc is about half as spicy. Wild the way plants make so many similar compounds that do nearly the same things.

I’m an electronics tech myself. I’ve been doing it about 15 years now. I found myself in the marine electronics repair field. It’s weird. Electronics maintenance and repair. It’s like the one thing I have in my life that’s just perfectly the way I want it. The way that I do it. The attention I give to the items I work on. The little things we see in great detail that really no one is ever going to see, but we can’t let a potential cold joint go even if a unit turns on. We can’t let flux pool under a smd cap with a clear conscious. We do it with this prideful insanity that it’s perfect. Because it feels good when solder swims across a pad and flows perfectly even. It’s in a large way a legacy we leave behind on the world. The people who cared to make perfect of the pcb’s that hide in little plastic shrouds. People may not have gotten us how we would have liked them to, but the world has a little piece of us that we made perfect. Cancer is a horrible thing to endure. But you still want to keep adding to that little bit of perfect you put out in the world. Hoping it will make people happy. Your passion overstates your pain. We appreciate you being here. And sharing that intimate thing with us that is doing clean and flawless repairs. I have all the confidence in the world that you’ll be troubleshooting for many years to come. It’s like troubleshooting without a schematic. It’s a pain and there are times we will question should we continue going on following tiny leads on multilayer pcb’s with no starting point hoping to run in to an open resistor or a low resistance cap. But we push on and soon enough we know the run, we’ve found the component, and we do our art. This is a process you have endured and faced in different ways. You will prevail. Void every warranty my friend. Happy troubleshooting.
