If it has a concept of data sources and can digest them, sure.
Anecdotally, most issues with Excel at my job are caused by data sources being renamed, moved or reformatted, by broken logins, or by insufficient access rights.
Probably more for repairing than producing, in my experience. That stuff's expensive and breaks easily. An old lab joke: Which daily sound scares a chemist the most? - Krk.
One of my elderly colleagues once told me that at the end of each day, they'd put all the lab coats in a big vat of benzene to clean them. The next day, they took them out, let them dry for a short while and then just put them on again. I think it was in the early 80s? He did develop cancer later.
Sweet? I'd rather liken it to period blood, but more metallic and kind of... vicious. Its smell is hardly comparable to its relatives xylene, toluene, ethyl benzene.
I liked xylene most, followed by toluene. Maybe it's bias because you know it is carcinogenic... but indeed benzene isn't as nice as the others. Vicious undertones, that's very apt.
Pure silica? It's really just SiO2. It might kind of fragment/ burst if it has a lot of water absorbed and you heat it too fast. Then everything in the vicinity would get sprinkled with fine dust which you shouldn't inhale in large quantities, as it might cause silicosis.
Yeah don't. Like many metals, finely dispersed iron can self-combust on air.
I'd suggest an air-tight packaging filled with CO2, or, if your food is susceptible to acid, N2, if at all feasible.
Industry uses additives similar to hydroquinone, mixed directly into, e.g., plastics. Plenty of them are food-safe, but I wouldn't know where to buy them if you aren't a business.

This shows the winners of the "second vote."
Dark blue = CSU (conservative party), its outlines are identical to Bavaria because this party only runs there and, this time around, won 100% of the second votes.
Cyan = AfD, far right-wing party. Its outlines are nearly identical to the borders of the former GDR.
Gray = CDU, CSU's sister party, making up for most of the remainder.
I hardly noticed, and I've been on Lemmy for nearly two years. I think it depends on which instance you sign on to. But a) you can filter out certain topics, users and even entire instances from your feed, and b) you can always sign up to a different instance if you still feel annoyed for whatever reason. For example, I left lemmy.world when it turned into some sort of Reddit clone.
European LNG spot market prices went up by much more than an order of magnitude between Summer 2020 and Spring 2022. They also went up for other regions while Russia has no problems selling gas outside of Europe, even with steep mark-ups. It pains me to write this, but Russia is coming out on top because of Europe cutting itself off from her gas.
I've been in the field for many years and I see the EU on the forefront of public chemical safety, both in terms of legislation and enforcement.
ECHA is transparent about glyphosate [1]. It is not even labelled as CMR on REACH Annex III [2], and that's saying a lot.
If you follow the developments, you will find that there is no way to prove a chemical as "safe". All it takes is one bloke on record to develop any health condition which can be linked to a chemical, and it will be scrutinized six ways to Sundays. Often leading to the introduction or decrease of an OEL, or a classification of this substance. As new humans are born all of the time, and diagnostics and analysis methods are still being improved, the likelihood of any given chemical to be "harmless" asymptotically approaches zero.
1 in 2 people develop cancer during their lives [3]. There are currently > 23000 chemicals on the EEA market at >= 1 t/a [4].
Pretty standard shilling here. This comment is designed to induce apathy by making the problem seem insurmountable and so convince you that it's impossible to know anything so why bother trying [to remove cancer inducing chemicals from the food supply].
However, there are people in the EU, who prolonged glyphosat usage for another few years, against the principles of the EU to only allow proven safe products.
And they are still pushing CETA, which supposedly weakens standards for food and gives companies more rights to sue countries, when new protective laws are made.
EU does many good things, but is far from always being on the lookout for the wellbeing of its people.
US regulators seemingly subscribe to the "three monkeys" approach where they assume everything being added to your food is safe and don't ask too many questions unless compelled.
