       @cascheranno @pluralistic I know they mean something like "no materials for performing chemistry experiments", but I still have to share this beauty by @ZachWeinersmith because I love it so much and think of it every time I hear talk of something being "chemical free."Link to the comic: https://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=3324

       @cascheranno @pluralistic Actually, I was in a store the other day and another customer was telling the clerk that they were looking for a probiotic with "live enzymes," and it was all I could do to resist the urge to butt in and tell them that there is no such thing as a live enzyme, because enzymes are not living organisms...so, I may relate to the cartoon a little *too much*.

       @brnrd @pluralistic believe the early DuPont explosive factories on the river, always had one weak wall pointed towards the river, exactly that reason

       @dplattsf @brnrd I lived in a WWI munitions factory in Toronto for a decade, on the lakeshore. The walls on the lake side of the building were half the thickness of the walls on the city side

       @dplattsf @brnrd @pluralistic I worked in a US Air Force rocket propellant research facility (ARFL/PR, Edwards AFB, CA). The building was originally used for nitrocellulose experiments. Each room had thick walls for 3 of the 4 walls, one wall that was very thin (like the plastic roofing over a greenhouse), and a thin roof, IIRC. They even had cable-driven robotic arms in some rooms that you could operate from the safe side of the thick wall, but they weren't used any more when I was there.
