Aluminum galinstan Al/GaInSn is an amalgam of aluminum and galinstan used for reductive amination. It's a useful and non-toxicalternative 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.
Aluminum Galinstan (Al/GaInSn) is when a non-toxic amalgam of Aluminum and Galinstan. 95% Aluminum and 5% Galinstan (Gallium Indium Tin alloy). It's used for reductions and reductive amination.
I reacted ThioPhenyl-2-Propanone (TP2P) with freebase methylamine in ethanol distilled water solution and reduced it to Methiopropamine (MPA) using aluminum galinstan (Al/GaInSn).
I reduced diphenylmethanone into diphenylmethanol using Aluminum Galinstan.

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.

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.
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 peecalculus.
