If it tastes like bacon, getting your mouth washed out with soap wouldnt be such a bad thing?

Re: How do Bank Routing numbers work?
do me a favor. you are in washington, state, right? You probably have a checking account. If it is one of these, see if this is the routing number:hawkfan8812 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 6:06 pm I don't think it is state based in general, but maybe it is for some areas. Some banks have different branches under one routing number,but many banks have one routing number for each bank branch. I have no idea what determines it, but I do know the federal govt keeps a complete list of them, and updates it as new ones are added.

soap is basically just a form of a fatty acid, so it makes sense.Flumper wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 6:10 pmwhat i find the most interesting about soap. my mom used to go to a cafe and get their old grease. big buckets of the grease they used to fry stuff in. And she would make soap out of it. she did it for gifts, not out of necessity.allwhitemeat wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 5:52 pm are these really the things that you sit and wonder?
I wonder things like "how does soap work? not how do you use soap, but what is it about soap that makes it do what it does"
then I go and research the answer through various sources and compare the reported science behind it.
btw, its the molecular shape of soap molecules, how it has a water loving head and water hating tail that makes it able to emulsify (break down into suspension) fat and grease. in chemistry, like/similar compounds dissolve like/similar compounds. since the tail of a soap molecule acts like a lipid (non polar) and a the head of the molecule behaves like water (polar) soap has the unique ability that it can both dissolve into water and dissolve and separate oils from the water and material to be cleaned. soap molecules form chains that look like matches lined up in a match book, and these chains are able to dissolve into water then surround and bind grease and fatty acids (lipids) to itself, while still in aqueous suspension.
which is a slightly more complicated answer than "you rub it on and then rinse it off, that's how soap works"

Re: How do Bank Routing numbers work?
I don't know the science behind it, but i know it works because i watched it happen. The irony of the whole thing is that you take a substance that is on the farthest point of the spectrum (used grease from frying food) and you turn that into something on the other end of the spectrum (soap, for cleaning yourself).allwhitemeat wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 6:18 pm soap is basically just a form of a fatty acid, so it makes sense.

like I mentioned about like compounds breaking down like compounds, think of it as you are using a dilluted fat to break down another more concentrated fat.Flumper wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 6:43 pmI don't know the science behind it, but i know it works because i watched it happen.

you cant use water alone to clean oil, it doesn't break it down into smaller parts (emulsify). but another oil can break down and dissolve another oil (like brake cleaner and grease). Soap due to the long chains it forms as a result of its molecular shape, can be dissolved in water AND still retain their ability to break down other fat acids.
i watch weird shit on youtube at 2 am when I cant sleep. Lots of "why and how?" type videos

fatties cant concentrate on anything but food, so its hard to break them down.megman wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 7:59 pmThen shouldn't there be a lot more skinny people around?allwhitemeat wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 7:01 pmlike I mentioned about like compounds breaking down like compounds, think of it as you are using a dilluted fat to break down another more concentrated fat.Flumper wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 6:43 pmI don't know the science behind it, but i know it works because i watched it happen.

The software I work for has the Fed transit number database, and I guess I had not noticed before.Flumper wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 6:15 pmdo me a favor. you are in washington, state, right?

I have no idea what determines it, but I do know the federal govt keeps a complete list of them, and updates it as new ones are added.
Wells Fargo 125008547
Chase Bank 325070760
Washington Trust 011500858
Or google "__________ Bank routing number wa"
The Wells was for sure all WA branches
The Chase was WA OR and DC
And the Wash Trust was CT and RI

Re: How do Bank Routing numbers work?
I guess its just me, but I just find it interesting that "routing numbers" are so generic. I mean, it seems people make such a big deal out of "The HAVE TO KNOW MY ROUTING NUMBER!!!!! OMG! What is it? Where do i find it?" Like its some secret social security number that only your checking account has and its locked in a vault somewhere.hawkfan8812 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 9:42 pmThe software I work for has the Fed transit number database, and I guess I had not noticed before.Flumper wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 6:15 pmdo me a favor. you are in washington, state, right?

I mean, I get that a place can't know if you do all of your banking in the same state, etc. But, shit, its not that hard.
