      And if you were looking for a source on the relation between kale (Brassica) and sea kale (Crambe maritima) are both of the Brassicaceae familty I suggest wikipedia. Sea kale is obviously more salt tolerant (in fact it will grow right up to the water line) than your normal kales and cabbages. Fun fact: They are close enough that they will cross pollinate, so if you're looking for a new type of kale that is particularly salt resistent

This came as a result of thirst for knowledge to understand how my electrolytes worked during my last endeavor into the the fascinating hobby of electroplating. Thank you for all the work you do. Your content, whilst not as polished as some others, Is extremely well done, I find your content informative and to the point with minimum fluff. You consistently provide clear instructions and detailed explanations. I watch a many technical channels on YT as my hobbies and interests cover a lot of territory. I must say that yours is Quite possibly the best chemistry channel on the platform, for just pure knowledge conveyance and ease of absorption, well In my opinion anyways. Chemistry is amazing and I think you do an amazing job at instruction. Felt that needed to be said. Appreciate the hard work, Please Keep em' comin. Liked & Subscribed!

    I’m glad I’m not young. This world is too restrictive and authoritarian. When I got my drivers license 35 years ago, I remember driving to Central Hardware to look at chemicals and power tools. One thing I remembered most was the 50 pound bags of 99% ammonium nitrate for like $15! I wish I pounced on it. But at that time I could buy sodium nitrate at nurseries for $8 a 5 pound bag and potassium nitrate as a stump remover. I never imagined nitrates not being OTC. 🤦‍♂️

    First of all, great video even if you have to re-upload it 20 times. 👍👍👍 I simply can't understand why videos like this one are not only immediately demonetized, but in most cases completely deleted by YT, even though there are countless videos on YT that show the synthesis of an illegal stimulant in great detail. YT, in contrast, doesn't seem to be interested in this stimulant videos in the slightest. These videos are also deleted from time to time, but the channel in question simply re-uploads this videos after a short time. Not only do these clear violations of YT's guidelines seem to be pursued far less rigorously by YT than actual chemistry education videos, YT appears to show no interest in these stimulant videos at all and only reacts, if at all, after corresponding reports from YT users. YT appears to have double standards here.
