Okay, so if you are putting a lawn mower away for the winter, you should check the oil, rebalance and sharpen the blade, and at least rinse off all the dead grass and dirt after the engine has cooled down.

Granted. All humans were blind to undefinable-xxx. They now have the third eye seeing with clarity. The visions of cthulu quickly drive all of humanity to extinction.

Granted. 3d printing of medical devices and brain microchips advance such that these people all get their senses and abilities. They quickly merge with machines by having excess memory in an external hard drive and sutured on personalities from the more advanced ai. Soon humanity is enslaved by the formerly blind, mute, deaf, and paralysed.

Granted. As a mortal brain changes to immortal, there is no start, so you get confused about when anything happens . the confusion persists until you devolve into seeking a hit of any drug (alcohol mostly). You take up holding a hammer

Well, I just checked Wikipedia and we are both right:

" Even if it is strongly associated with the production of thermosetting polymers, the term “curing” can be used for all the processes where a solid product is obtained from a liquid solution,"

Glue that reacts with oxygen in the air is a process that produces a solid from a liquid.

Epoxy is a really long hydrocarbon chain.

There is no mention of curing and solvents. I normally think of drying as water leaving because no chemical reaction occured, and the original substance properties return with water added.

Shrug, I learned that it shouldn’t be a pet peeve.

There is a glue that is stinky and not advertised much: e6000. I use it for misc projects like this. Yup your method works…

Also I have a mild grammar pet peeve: a chemical reaction that makes a liquid become a solid is not “drying” but is rather called “curing”. If you got your glue wet and it reverted to a liquid, then it would only be " drying".

Living in the “self esteem” part of Maslow’s pirimid when you are battling basic needs aka allergies, sleep, dehydration, dimentia, etc is a good way to be depressed. Focus on preservation of assets and restoring basic functions.

Well, yes and no. Most likely its adoption would be where petroleum stations start creating it on site and selling like a carbon neutral gasoline. Energy has to come from somewhere, so it will probably take solar power to store as fomate and sell as fuel
