There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

ex. How do I change oil

What would CaCl (Calcium Chloride) be? Is that possible? Is that a thing? Is calcium chloride a thing? (self.nostupidquestions)

calcium chloride – CaCl~2~ – primarily road de-icing

~~not sure why you crossed of “2” there? the formula in the wiki page does have 2 for calcium chloride.~~

edit 1: but, apparently there does exist calcium monochloride

edit 2: crossed off comment, apparently my app shows the “2” being crossed off, but it’s technically a subscript.

Markup mishap, probably. They wanted subscript, which doesn't work on all clients, including mine.

Seems to be a problem with your client/frontend. It's not crossed of, it's a subscript.

yes, you’re right. that’s a bit odd.
