matches usually have phosphorous in them which burns in contact with air.

striking it against the rough edge of the box removes the waxy coating that prevents contact with air.

If you're a student, from my perspective, I'd say don't feel bad. Students who actually do the work, regardless of what others do, are the ones who make it so lab actually finishes on time. The ones who aren't working in lab probably aren't learning outside of lab either, so don't feel bad about cutting in on their time.

Now, the head of the match is KClO3 with Sb2S3, the edge of the box is red phosphorus (more stable than the other allotrope, white phosphorus which burns in contact with air).
Striking the head against the edge allows the reduction of KClO3, which is exothermic and gives enough energy to the red phosphorus to convert in white phosphorus

Ofcourse not. Tattoos are retarded permanent markings for impulsive yolo-people who feel like they are making some sort of cool personal statement. These deluded bags of emotional instability will feel very good about their ironic tattoo for a couple of months, perhaps even a full year, but when the year is over and it's time to do their annual "personal image" 180, they will still have that trashy marking that says it all; "I was retarded enough to get a tattoo".

Feninology the science of feminism, or the study of how a serious civil rights movement evolved into internet women with their heads stuck up their asses over petty bullshit.

In the eyes of my attraction, there IS something wrong with that.

However it is YOU that are assuming this standard to only be for women, thus misognystic. And that's wrong. Hairy men are unattractive as well.

That is some rampant cultural bias and disgusting double standard right there.

I'd hatefuck her anyway. That little hair doesn't bother me. But she still deserves to be ballgagged and hatefucked in the pooper until she's bleeding, then I'll wipe my dick on her lacy curtains.

Now that is misogyny.

>This is called “big bang theory.” But it is not a theory. It fails the tests of what a true ‘science’ demands – it is not testable, reproducible or observable in experiment. It fails its own predictions.

It is not untestable, but it does fail its own predictions.

This girl I went to highschool with actually got dopamine tattooed on her, but at least as a stupid pre-med major she knows what the molecule actually looks like.

All those people you knew in highschool that you thought might actually be legitimately interesting when it comes to science but just turned into degenerates.

It was pretty retarded when the medical radiologists held me down, on a dare, man those women will do anything, and drilled five dots into my abdomen, centered over the target zone. I was all #YOLO and they were all #YOMO (for metastasis) and it was so cool and impulsive.

Sure I was emotionally unstable. I let those hot ladies burn me through and through with radiation for three weeks and I did feel good about my tattoo for a couple of months, even a year. Five years later when they declared me clear though, and I did an annual "personal image" 180, I still had a trashy marking which said, "My testicle was removed under medical treatment, and radiotherapy was advised to increase my chances of living."

Thinking back on it, I kind of wished I'd chosen to die from metastasis to the brain.

You were a prep school instructor right out of college? Is that for real? After I graduate University with just a bachelor's in science I could teach? What kind of work experience do I need and how much money do you make?

No, I don't think so.
