Aluminum galinstan Al/GaInSn is an amalgam of aluminum and galinstan used for reductive amination. It's a useful and non-toxic alternative to aluminum mercury Al/Hg.

I heated galinstan and aluminum and stirred to make aluminum galinstan.

I reduced phenyl-2-butanone (or P-2-Bu), and ammonia in ethanol solution using aluminum galinstan and then filtered to make phenylisobutylamine, and dried it with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Then reacted the phenylisobutylamine ethanol solution with hydrogen chloride gas to make phenylisobutylamine HCl. The liquid galinstan was recoverable and reusable.

Galinstan

Galinstan is a non-toxic, liquid metal alloy which melts at 11 °C (52 °F). It's made by combining gallium, indium, and tin. It's fun to play with and also do science experiments with. It's liquid metal you can hold in your hand. It's good to wear gloves while handling Galinstan. Galinstan stains hands and stuff, but you can wash it out with soap and water.

This Galinstan is so fun to play with!

Boffin

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
