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

Nitromethane doesn’t explode on it’s own under normal conditions

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

- Comment on Matrix 2.0 Is Here! 3 months ago:
What would be the utility for someone, who cares about privacy and currently uses Signal and email for communication?
Matrix is more like discord, no phone numbers, just email, and you can make big groups with different channels within. More meant for communities then something like Signal, that’s mostly for 1:1 conversation or small groups
What advantage would it give me over other services? Keeping the discord example i said above, no tracking, possibility to have end to end encryption, and open source code, along with the ability of having different instances that can communicate to each other, just like here on lemmy, so if you don’t trust anyone else you can run your own instance
Is Matrix anything good already, or is it something with potential that’s still fully in development?
It’s good already, but as with many other privacy focused services it lacks a wide adoption, so most of the communities there are about privacy, Linux and that type of stuff
How tech savvy does one need to be to use Matrix?
The most used client, Element, is IMO very easy to use, you can directly register through there, and you get the choice of choosing between the official matrix.org instance (which on certain occasions is laggy due to the many people using it), or other instances

- Comment on bitey 4 months ago:
Given:
Bite Force of T. rex: 45,000 Newtons
Jaw Closing Distance: Approximately 0.3 meters
Energy=Force×Distance=45,000N×0.3m=13,500Joules
Say we have a typical 10w led lightbulb, how much could it power it for?
Time= Power/Energy=13,500J / 10W=1,350 seconds, or approximately 22 and a half minutes with a single T-Rex chomp, assuming 100% conversion efficiency
