Chlorine doesn’t make pools smell like chlorine, pee does
2024年11月25日 · Chlorine in an unused pool definitely has an odor. Not the same as chlorine+urine, but it does. (Former maintainer of two home pools.) I came here to say this. My recollection of indoor pools is that they always have a faint but unmistakably odor of chlorine. And it’s not because anyone is peeing in them – it’s exactly the odor of bleach.
Can diluted seawater be used instead of blood for total …
2015年5月21日 · It turns out that trials were run on stray dogs to test ocean plasma (diluted, cold-filtered ocean water) as a transfusion substitute. In one experiment, René Quinton and his medical team drained a dog of all of its blood and replaced it with isotonic (diluted) seawater. The dog should have died immediately, one would think, but the dog lived.
Banana Art back in the news. Sells for 6.24 million
2024年11月29日 · I seem to recall a glass vial full of elephant urine sold for a tidy sum a number of years ago. I point out this most recent example because it simply suggests an established trend continues today.

Chicken Broth - "Do Not Dilute"?! - Cafe Society - Straight Dope
2011年10月26日 · Cans of Swanson’s Natural Goodness chicken broth prominently state “Do Not Dilute” - as if doing so was to invite a dangerous chemical reaction or something - can there possibly be any reason for them saying so other than a wish to get you to use (buy) as much of it as possible? (Obviously if you do so the flavor will be, well, diluted - but that works great for …
Christmas music - Cafe Society - Straight Dope Message Board
2024年12月19日 · I like Christmas music. It’s joyful and fun to sing along to. Yes, maybe I’m a weird-o but honestly, it’s generally well written and we usually get new interpretations of the classics every year. I have a suspicion that some of the people claim to hate Christmas because it’s in vogue to hate it. Oh, I know I’ll get tons of pushback, and that’s OK. But when I hear …
Cowboy shows and coffee. - Cafe Society - Straight Dope
2018年5月1日 · The cowboys may be using coffee diluted with chicory (which was often used to make the coffee supply last longer) - and chicory doesn’t have caffeine, so the “coffee” they were drinking would not be as prone to keeping them up as our coffee is.
PCMS - Cecil's Columns/Staff Reports - Straight Dope
2012年12月7日 · I was reading Cecil’s column about what causes “piss shiver”… excuse me, post-micturition convulsion syndrome (PCMS). I wish to add to the speculation… and make no mistake, this is speculation. But I wonder if PCMS could be a mild form of vasovagal response? One of the triggers is dehydration, which has an obvious link to the urination process, and also …

What's going on with this bottle of pee? - Straight Dope
2006年3月9日 · For reasons best left unexplored (why yes, alcohol was involved, you’re all so clever!) I found myself peeing into an empty plastic three liter soda bottle a couple of times a few nights ago. The bottle ended up about 25% full of urine, with some small residue (well under .25 oz I’m sure) of Mountain Dew-like soda. The bottle was kept capped at room temperature and …
Nitric acid stains - Factual Questions - Straight Dope
2000年10月10日 · Any chemists on the SDMB? In Chem lab yesterday we did some cleaning of glassware that involved the use of diluted nitric acid. A bunch of it got on my hands and turned them yellow. Is there any cleaning product that will remove the stain, or do I just have to wait until my skin cells slough off?
