1. Are you getting enough water?
2. Gargle with baking soda

I think you could only have a silicon-based metabolism if there was a lack of carbon given the lighter elements form stronger bonds than the heavier ones.

For example, a surprisingly difficult search resulted in: C=O bond energy in CO₂ is estimated around 800kJ/mol and Si=O bond in SiO₂ is estimated at 620 kJ/mol;  that means that C is going to eventually win any battle with Si for the affections of O.

Well, there's eventually and there's eventually. You can mix finely divided charcoal with sand in a jar and wait around for the silicon to spontaneously reduce, but it could be a bit, to say the least. The fact that sand still exists is itself a good argument against this.

le dübbel pöst: Any far fetched dr House theories why I'm dying of throatache after driving back from work? It starts in the car and it stays while I'm at home, like reeeally painful swallowing. Driving to work doesn't do the trick, neither being at work where I hardly notice it. I kept the mask on in the car, on my way home today and that helped a lot. I've been having throataches and swollen tonsils since like october, went dentist, normal doc who sent me back to dentist, none of them concerned, I was getting better after the last dentist appointement (she injected some bacteria doomsday magic bullet, IDK what it was but I was not supposed to swallow it).

This shit is so far fetched I'm allmost willing to point the finger at UV light doing something in my car? Man idk I just want it to stop.

Try gargling mouthwash for a while? Or salt water.

From what I know about you, the descriptor would be "feminine (leaning somewhat masculine?), Eastern European accent", and that's about as much brainpower I could be bothered to give that thought. I read your posts how I read everyone else's posts: my internal voice, which is just my voice.

I've tried making my brain generate what it would sound like, and it got bored in the first few seconds. I'm not saying you're boring, I just have a lot of other, more exciting things I could be doing.

I mean sure silicon has 4 bonds too but IIRC silicon based chemistry is orders of magnitude slower to react... With planty beings that look like Corrals or such maybe, but leopards, frogs and birds not so much.

Huh, I also get something like that in my throat when I drive long distances, like one hour or more. It's not pain per se, it just feels like the throat-to-ear-region is.. I dunno. Cramped/swollen, I guess. And aches when swallowing.

Same. I think it's something to do with the way the air circulates that sets it off, I only really get it in the afternoons when it's warm and not so much with windows open rather than the fans.

I don't subvocalise, so I don't associate any forumite with any voice. I recognise writing styles, though.

Something I just noticed is that men's deodorant tends to all smell roughly the same. Like, it's all this generic "man smell". What chemical/set of chemicals is responsible for this base smell?

Also, does women's deodorant also smell roughly the same as each other? I have this whim to just test out stuff intended for women, just to see what I've been missing out on for all these years, but I want to know if I'm gonna be disappointed. I'd go straight for gender-neutral stuff myself, but toiletries are often gendered to hell and back. That, or they're for babies.

Male:
VOLCANO
WHISKEY AND SCOTCH

For female products, the fragance of commonality is "powder scent", as in, the smell they put in baby powder.

I have been told that the traditional ingredient for really old fashioned baby powder is volatile oil extracted from lavender petals, but I don't see the connection. Perhaps it is a chemically synthesized subset of that, similar to vanillin vs vanilla extract. (or banana flavoring, vs actual ripe banana).


I am unsure what the hell it is that is in men's "Sport" scented products.  It has almost aldehyde tones, but just what exactly it is, I cannot really tell you.  If you have access to a vapor gas chromatography aparatus, and can do analytical chemistry with vapors (and thus with captured scents), you could get some idea of what the profile is...

Sadly, most fragrances are "Secrets".

Admittedly, everyone sounds like me, until proven otherwise. As a result, you sound like me attempting an impression of a woman with a Russian accent.
