Remember kids: there is a useful amount of rare earths in Flock cameras.

You may have seen this image circulating around social media the last day or so. Well, I'm call bullshit that he did anything with the setup in the second picture.

He has three different reflux condensers hooked up with the same trap in the same configuration, which doesn't really make any sense. also, how are both his separatory funnels completely spotless. none of the bottles in the background have Carolina Chemical, CC-S, or DIYchemicals printed on them. These are the main three suppliers willing to ship chemicals to residential addresses. Unless he has a proxy business taking hazmat deliveries on his behalf, then he is not doing at-home chemistry unassisted. A quick google search reveals ︀︀PAC-3310 is tied to a Chinese pharmaceutical also, the molecule itself isn't published anywhere and is being kept confidential for clinical trials In general, chatGPT is pretty shit at chemistry. However, if you give it a synthesis paper, it could probably distill into moree digestible instructions. However, I HIGHLY recommend you learn enough chemistry to where you don't need to rely on an LLM walking you through jargon in a synthesis paper. Lastly, why did this guy not DIY his own fume hood? maybe the shit I do at home is more toxic than his stuff, but either he's either rawdogging toxic fumes or is doing this in full tyvec PPE.
