      I bet Nile's would be as chaotic if he didn't film it as a presentation with a commentary and filmed in real-time with his commentary.
      In fact, I'd love to see a video from Nile that feels as personal as Cody's. Like Cody brings us along for his journey while Nile presents his journey.

      NileBlue is even less personal and kinda feels like I'm just watching somebody. Which isn't bad. I wish Nigel would go back to making more material either way.

    I feel like Cody is a "best of both worlds" between NileRed and Explosions&Fire.

      hot take, but I couldn't disagree more. Nigel does cool stuff that is largely safe, and maybe industrially viable, E&F does some of the highest end organic chemistry bullshit I have seen on the internet, and doesn't care how dangerous it is. Cody is a wild west frontiersman that does things out of necessity because its the only way they get done, things are chaotic and dangerous but only because there isn't a better way that isn't fully getting into a chem lab.

    Hey, Cody. I've heard of a pigment used between the time of prehistoric Egypt until around the year 800AD, where the method of manufacture was lost. It's called Egyptian Blue, and its method of manufacture was investigated by Humphry Davy in 1815, but he couldn't quite crack it. Then, in the 1980's, the method of manufacture was pretty much rediscovered, but with a few discrepancies.
    The recipe is to mix together silica (60-70%), calcium oxide (7-15%), and copper oxide (10-20%), and then to heat this mixture to between 800C-1000C for several hours. The result is cuprorivaite, water, and carbon dioxide. Most Egyptian samples seemed to have an excess of silica, AND an excess of either copper oxide OR calcuim oxide.
    Maybe an idea for a video? To remake Egyptian Blue and see what effects changing the composition has, and maybe seeing why the Egyptians used an excess of silica along with an excess of either copper or calcium. Could be interesting, since it's so weird that something so well known for nearly 4000 years and something so simple to make could be forgotten about. You're a geologist! You like rocks and stuff. Maybe an idea for a video?

      There's more overlap than you might think, and scrounging behaviour, (as apposed to consumption of risk) tends to lead to cross discipline learning by necessity. As far as what he's going to do with it. He kept it as a powder, and only needs a small amount, so probably as a catalyst. I'm honestly very interested what speculations you might have for what projects it would be good for.

    Hahahaha, Gold as the contamination gave me a chuckle.
    It's good to see an upload from you, they always give me the opportunity to learn something and with rare exception make me smile. Shoot, even if giving sad news you still seem to find a way to encourage and uplift.
    My wife and I have had her ring Rhodium plated but I went straight for Palladium for mine. I liked the look of the metal and didn't know anyone else who had one at the time. I just have to stay out of high H2 environments for one extra reason now.

    I'm happy to see Cody seems to be more like his old self. I don't know what was going on but for a while watching his videos made me worried for his health. I can't put my finger on why I was feeling this way, just glad to see that the feeling is gone now. I hope you're doing well Cody, I've learned a lot watching your videos over the years

    BTW, I seem to recall you having an X-ray fluorescence gun in a previous video.
    Perhaps you could use it to qualitatively asses the amount of rhodium in the waste you produced at different steps of the process. That way you could spot which step caused the biggest losses, and where optimization is needed.
