Oil purification Puns

I ran an LiBH4 reduction of the tetrapropyl ester of 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid and my product is a dark, non-volatile oil containing starting material, and varying degrees of the reduction product (1 hydroxymethyl, 2 hydroxymethyl, etc.). The reaction was run using just 0.8 eq of LiBH4 relative to the ester, so the primary product should be the mono-hydroxymethyl.

I have purified this type of material before via flash chromatography on a smaller scale, but I am wondering if there is another strategy I can pursue instead of running a scaled-up column. My first thought is distillation but I don't believe my product is particularly volatile. Any suggestions?

On an industrial scale, what kind of methods exist to remove oil and brine from water in deep pressurized wells. Water oil that is around 200C and handle 2000 gallons per minute. Only thing I found in use was Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage. I was thinking maybe some sort of giant centrifuge or massive amounts of photocatayst TiO2

First of all, Legion of the Damned as a novel is metal AF. Aside from the Warp-spawned Imperial daemon Astartes from the book's title, it also featuresa Khornate Blood Crusade called the Cholercaust that follows around a comet named after Euphrati Keeler, while the first third of the book is all about the famous Feast of Blades held between all the Imperial Fist Legion's successor chapters. There's so much happening in this novel, it's worth a read especially if you're an Imperial Fists fan.

Second, it's also the first time I've heard about The Darkness, a psychic-spiritual affliction of one Imperial Fists successor chapter, the Excoriators, rooted in Dorn's tremendous loss from failing to protect the Emperor against Horus. Maybe it's not that famous because it doesn't affect the entire gene-line of the Imperial Fists like the Red Thirst/Black Rage for the Blood Angels, but I enjoyed learning about this malady and how it intersects with the Dorn line's relationship with pain and suffering. The Excoriators despise it as a sign of weakness in the individual, and it reflects their fear of failure.

We start to learn about it through an Apothecary and Company Captain discussing how it affected their Chapter Scourge aka Champion, Zachariah Kersh, in the middle of a pivotal battle. This led to recriminations against him because of the tragic consequences of him succumbing to the Darkness (won't spoil the plot further):

>‘Can the Scourge be made fit for anything, let alone battle?’

>‘I believe so. We are pure of hearts but not of blood. As part of a former Legion and now as a Chapter, we are not alone in our experience of genetic deficiency. The Wolves and the Angels, as well as the brethren of future Foundings, carry the flaws of their blood heritage on to new generations,’ the Excoriators Apothecary explained. **‘When the Darkness takes one of our number, it might appear to us a wretched palsy: the slackness of the jaw, the tremor of the limb, the blankness of the eye. But those who survive it report the experience as a living nightmare, a sleeping wakefulness in which they relive the bottomless woe of Dorn’s most trying time – the grievous loss of our Father-Emperor, at least as we knew him. This is both our father’s genetic blessing and his curse to his sons. To know the possibility – for even a second – of an Imperium without the Emperor. To feel what Dorn felt. The profound misery

I saw a video that the most potent cannabis oil on the market was made from regular cannabis oil by distilling it, could the same be done with things like Opium and other plants to concentrate them, by distillation?

Here's the link for part 1, and here is part 2, where I show a clear bias towards a number of Heroes and towards certain talents, mostly there's bug fixes here, and some minor adjustments driven by cursory looks at Heroes Profile

I'm at the character limit, so there'll explanations in comments

  2. Only auto acquire targets that have damaged you in the past 2 seconds, this functions as a toggle, this functions as a toggle and persists from game-to-game, similar to how the location of your target info panel is remembered, and this can also be altered in the Gameplay options tab
  3. Do not auto acquire targets, this functions as a toggle and persists from game-to-game, this functions as a toggle and persists from game-to-game, similar to how the location of your target info panel is remembered, and this can also be altered in the Gameplay options tab

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Hindu society with its caste system and its bias against women is largely defined by the sacred text of the Manu Smriti which accords special status to certain castes called Brahmanas and inferior status to all other castes and Women. So lets have a vote on which is more oppressive - Sharia laws or Hindu laws - which is a bigger bag of BS ? : BTW I think that both are a boatload of festering cr*p but I want your views: Let's have a look at what the Hindu sacred text says:

5 . 155(Chapter 5 and 155th article/verse)No sacrifice,no vow, no fast must be performed by women,she will for that( reason alone) be worshipped/exalted in heaven.

5.148 In childhood a female must be a slave to her father, in youth to her husband, when her lord is dead to her sons; a woman must never be independant

5.154 Though devoid of virtue, or seeking pleasure(?with some other women) elsewhere, or devoid of good qualities,Yet a husband must be constantly worshipped as a God by a wife

9.17 When creating them,Manu allotted women a love bed, seat,ornament, *impure desires, wrath, dishonesty, malice and bad conduct*.

3.13 It is declared that Shudra women alone(can be) the wife of a Shudra, She and one of his own caste(the wives) of a Vaishya, those two and one of his own caste(the wives) of a Brahman.

8.414 A shudra ,though emancipated by his master, is not released from servitude,since that is innate in him

8.413 But a shudra, whether bought or unbought, he may compel to do servile work ;for he was created by the Swayambu(self existent) to be the slave of a high class man.

8.374 A shudra who has intercourse with a women of twice born caste, guptam/aguptam(secretly/openly), he is punished in the following manner if done openly(aguptam) he loses the offending part(his genitals cut) and all his property, if he does secretly(aguptam) he loses everything including his life.

8.282 If out of arrogance he (shudra) spits on a Brahmana, the king shall cause both his lips to be cutoff; if he urinates on him, the penis,if he passed wind(against) him the anus.

8.281. A shudra man who tries to place himself on the same seat with a man of high caste , shall be branded on his hip, or the king shall cause his buttocks to be gashed out

8.272 If a shudra tries to to teach Brahmans their duty, king shall cause hot oil to be poured into his mouth and into his ears.

8.271 If he mentions the names and castes of the Brahmanas with contumely, an iron nail ten fingers(10 in
