Hyke, I know what you mean by 'going deeper'
Thats definitely been happening to me of late, last few years I've got less and less socially or relationship inclined, to the extent that aside from those that live in my home too, and barring shop keepers and medical appointments, theres really only one person I ever see now, as a friend; socially.
Used to be a lot more socially inclined in my teens, now, its more of a chore. Got to force myself to sign in to my email, as i think i have work coming up. Still, even dealing with people onlineou, or on
the phone now is getting to be a right PITA. Got to chase up an order I made too. Ugh. Customer service, one of my worst nightmares. Need to sort out an order of lab supplies, as a load of benzaldehyde I ordered with other things got forgotten. Shit happens, not too worried, this supplier is a pretty decent person as far as I can gather through my interactions with them. And isn't likely to try and wriggle out of sending it, or fucking me around. Only other problem I've ever had with them was bottles of ether, THF and dichlor being made of shit plastic, and the solvents vanishing through the plastic walls of the bottles via evaporation. A fucking nuisance, and a bit of a hairy thought in the case of ethers like THF, diisopropyl and diethyl ether, dioxane etc. because their slow evaporation into the atmosphere is functionally pretty much the same as distilling some to dryness, boiling it ALL off, deliberately. Which one really should never do with most ethers, because they peroxidize, at different rates, depending on which compound it is. Diisopropyl ether and THF are probably the worst. DIPE needs testing for peroxidation every three months. Compare that with a year for ether. The hazard being the peroxides these ethers form are damn dangerous, being ultra-sensitive primary explosives that go off at the slightest provocation, friction of a bottle-cap on a can of ether, THF etc. etc. thats peroxidized is easily enough to set the whole thing off, as a pretty effective HE/incendiary bomb.
Evaporation of ethers allows them if peroxidized, to concentrate the peroxides and hydroperoxides formed, making an explosion more likely. I've seen some pretty awful pictures of the result of exactly that happening. The result was a fridge,which played the role of ground zero, got smashed to smithereens, and blasted up straight through the roof. Can't remember for sure but iirc, it blew out the labs windows too.
You seem to be lost in your own thoughts.
