Woah, just reloaded it and new comic! Sick... I should probably read it now. Willintendo (talk) 20:02, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

TABLES! TABLES! TABLES! WOOOOOO!!!!!! --DollarStoreBa'al^Converse 20:21, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Table created. However, I am a teenager and do not work in construction, so the explanations may need some work. --DollarStoreBa'al^Converse 20:56, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Every item in this table is real. Ask me how I know. 64.201.132.210 21:34, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

How does the placebo work? Does it just kinda mind control you?--DollarStoreBa'al^Converse 21:42, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Thought for placebo adhesive: Water between two microscope slides. It'll stick real good, but it's not really glue, more... fancy pressure physics. 142.165.161.48 22:28, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

"Duck" tape, not "duct". Come on Randall, you know better than that. Yorkshire Pudding (talk) 00:08, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Both spellings are used. One is trademarked. 76.187.17.7 03:46, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Now I'm wondering what the properties of a powdered bar magnet would even be, if each individual piece continued to be magnetic. 2405:201:E010:1029:2C1E:1669:FA92:85DE 00:44, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

A magnetic powder stops being diamagnetic. All the north poles clamp onto a south pole, so the magnetic fields essentially all cancel. You end up with "lump of magnetic powder", not "one big magnet" or "powder you can disperse in a liquid." Nitpicking (talk) 03:32, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

So, the 2-poly(etc) seems to me to suggest that instead of being "-vinyl-ethyl-vinyl-ethyly-" polimerisation, with the links between both 'ethyl-like' backbone subcomponents being from opposite ends of the respective subunit carbon-pairing, it'd more likely now be considered as a polymethyl-group with a methyl (or methylene) group as the now unused onward '1-'site, hanging free of the new polychain. I'd have to check the bond-geometries, though to see if it would even work. (Ignoring the obvious problem with the made up name.) 92.23.2.208 01:44, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

I feel like the Polyethylvinylesteracetate is a joke about how polymer names are often long and gibberish-sounding. Potatocakethrow (talk)

Rosin is also used soldering, which might be relevant to adhesives. Soldering is used to join pipes, among other things. Nitpicking (talk) 03:32, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

>"Rosin is also used soldering, ...to join pipes" Plumbing (pipes) soldering more often uses "acid flux" (Zinc Chloride and similar), not rosin which is used in electronics and jewelry. --PRR (talk) 05:48, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
