it’s everywhere, but in the usa it’s exacerbated by the fact that most people have guns
while watching bodycam footage I often find myself thinking “just open the car door and cuff him, why hesitate and risk starting a car chase”
followed by the realization “oh, he has a gun”
obligatory Don’t talk to the police

it is, but the graph is referring to pure caffeine, which (unless you crush up pills and do lines of it) is in minimal amounts in coffee

First of all, sorry for the harsh response, I was in a hurry and I probably passed off as a dickhead
secondly tho, from the video you sent yourself at 9:43 “Nitromethane, all by itself, is a high explosive, but it is so inert, it’s almost impossible to set it off”
And that’s what I (probably in a bad way) implied in my first message, nitromethane either requires to be sensitized with something like ammonium nitrate (to make ANNM) or with ethylene diammine (to make PLX) (or really with any basic substance, even sodium hydroxide you get as a drain cleaner can work, but it gets too sensible and can detonate on its own while you work on it)
Here’s another video that shows nitromethane just plainly burning

It’s not like they can rely of self sufficient solar panels, they just lobbied them out of existance with climate change denial

That’s not balanced though
4 CH~3~NO~2~ + O~2~ → 4 CO + 6 H~2~O + 2 N~2~
also, why are we burning nitromethane?

lmao. rofl even. Fluoride is incredibly expensive AND useful, if you run an industry you wanna make sure you absolutely recover it from byproducts and reuse it, not to mention that with how low the levels in tap water are, it wouldn’t be even a good way of disposing a lot of it
