Its old enough to be believable that everything's a chamberpot if its cold outside. Or cold in the hallway. Or if its just convenient.

Glad the goon that banged a Erlenmeyer flask (Abe had some interesting mod challenges) at least used clean hardware. e: archives required, bottom of page 8. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3140263&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=8

That thread is amazing because Abe accidentally mod-challenged himself in it and had to construct, wear, and eat a tutti-frutti hat.

Twigand Berries thrusting that bouquet towards the flask is one of the funniest things I've ever seen on SA and the Goldmine entry's value is greatly diminished by the lack of it. e: actually he just owned that challenge start to finish.

So, what do you guys think of the high school picric acid trouble? There have been a few cases in the last few years where chemistry teachers decided to clean up their old chemicals storage cabinet and they found a bottle of picric acid sitting on the back of a shelf, that had been sitting there for decades and all the water had vaporized off. The tiniest movement of dry picric acid can cause it to explode, so in every case I heard off, they had to evacuate the school at once, and call explosive experts to safely dispose of it (probably by Very Carefully moving it outside and setting it off there.

Carbon dioxide posted:So, what do you guys think of the high school picric acid trouble? My understanding is that the risk is overstated; dry picric acid isn’t that sensitive. You just don’t want anyone vigorously shaking the bottle or especially trying to unscrew the lid. The bomb squad has to handle it one way or another, though. There’s probably no harm in leaving it undisturbed for a few more hours and calling it in after school, but eh, it’s a teaching opportunity.

I remember my high school science teacher showing me the picric acid procedure in the chemical disposal manual he had. If it had a plastic cap, then you were supposed to gently submerge the sealed container in water, then call the bomb squad. If it had a metal cap, immediately evacuate the building and call the bomb squad.

I was taking a walk to wake myself up and found a door with a NFPA diamond of 4/1/4 with no water and OX. The 1's the fire rating. Wonder what's in there. Probably something horrifying. Didn't want to even try and open the door.

If I remember right, the local Walmart has a 3/4/4 fire diamond posted on the outside wall. Forget the exact assignment but pretty sure it added up to 10 or 11. Really made me wonder what the hell was up with containment that the diamond was posted on an outside wall.

I just made that up as a joke but it legitimately sounds terrifying now, and I could see it being a thing for MRI patients or something.

zedprime posted:I think Walmart skipped the professional judgement following an inspection ding and skipped straight to 1 when 2 or 3 would be less antagonizing to an ERT. On the other hand, a huge retailer like Walmart probably has liability and safety people whose job it is to make their stores somewhat safer than their clothing factories.

I don't think it's a stretch to imagine camping propane cylinders, lighter fluid and charcoal, pool chemicals, and all sorts of fertilizers and lawn care products within the space of a few aisles. Put that close enough to the sporting goods section with ammunition and smokeless powder and you could probably manage a 443

I'm just wondering who exactly is helped by a 200,000sqft building labeled that as a whole when 1/3 of it is a grocery store and 1/3 of it is nonhazardous household goods and clothing. Maybe I should be more questioning of the NFPA code if that's really the best hazard communication we could manage on a common warehouse sized retail store.

GWBBQ posted:I completely agree, I was speculating on whether it's possible that a small area inside the store could be that hazardous and justify a warning posted for the whole building. I'm not sure where the proper balance should be between "here's everything you need to know" and "potential for a 444 exists, it could just be a paper fire but if it's a few aisles over you might join pile of bodies." Those stores aren't subdivided much at all, so it's entirely possible that nobody knows where all the fire is.
