You might be able to have apples or fish, though not cats.

Depends, most aren't (they're commonly used as refrigerants). The chloro- and bromo-alkanes are ozone depleters, most are also toxic. Many of the chloroalkanes have "btw, it produces phosgene" as a property.

whitequark: non-flammable as per MSDS, but it *does* oxidize to phosgene in the presence of oxygen at ambient temperatures (& presumably, more rapidly when heated).
<bofh>
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA so apparently 'amylene' can be used to refer to *any* 5-carbon alkene, not just the linear ones.

whitequark: Your Twitter makes my brain hurt :(

awang: which part
<SnoopJeDi>
bofh, I've been once quite briefly. Just a few hours, enough time to get a train ticket to Amsterdam and visit the Champ de Mars
<SnoopJeDi>
I did get to see drawings of the Moon done by Galileo in Nice, though :)
<bofh>
Ahh, not a bad place to visit if you only have a few hours :)
<bofh>
(also that's pretty Nice)

yea, it was a way less tourist-slammed way to see the Tower, and enabled us to conveniently hop into a market to buy some sandwiches
<bofh>
oh gods the day I went to go see the tower was after a 2-day strike by workers there
<bofh>
so it was fucking plastered with tourists
<bofh>
also it was night and these COLOSSAL FUCKWITS by the tower were selling various light-up things and pointing GREEN LASER POINTERS at random people in the crowd and following them around
<SnoopJeDi>
bofh, am I supposed to @ you for caramel, or for salt? (or both?)
<bofh>
like one might use a flashlight, except with A GODDAMN CLASS II LASER (and that's assuming perfect IR filtering, which I doubt these have)
<bofh>
love too get night-blinded by random specular reflections from street vendor laser pointers while in a hyper-dense crowd,
<bofh>
SnoopJeDi: salt
<SnoopJeDi>
hwhat that's insane
<SnoopJeDi>
bofh, this is the first time I've actually used the fancy finishing salts my gf got me for my birthday!
<bofh>
nice!
<SnoopJeDi>
although I picked one of the more boring ones since caramel isn't showy
<bofh>
I mean I'll happily eat any form of table salt, haha.
<SnoopJeDi>
I've grown quite fond of the local store's kosher salt, the crystals are *chef kiss*
<SnoopJeDi>
there's one in this set that was smoked over wood chips though, hnnggg
