God, drowning in grease is one thing, but people not noticing you fell through a hole in the ground of a restaurant for 5-10 minutes is another thing entirely. What's this restaurant's setup that a customer could access any part of a grease trap, much less fall directly into it?

It's an ice cream stand--not really even a restaurant. The grease trap was outside on the property behind the stand somewhere.

That reminds me about the Liquid Nitrogen tanks on the streets of New York. How do they not get stolen / tampered with? I mean people are stupid enough to steal radioactive equipment from a hospital... I can imagine someone trying to steal several buckets of Liquid Nitrogen and freezing their hands off.

aside from the logistical challenge, liquid nitrogen is too inexpensive to be worth stealing. it's cheaper than milk

Yeah, you can just go and buy some off the street. You need a proper container and if you dont have one you can buy or rent one.

I've bought LN2 just by walking in to the office / shop and telling them that's what I'm here for. They don't dispense unless you have a suitable container, but that's probably something that you could get around with some basic "c'mon, I came a long way for this!" type arguing.

Depending on the amount you want, how quickly you want it ("right now" is harder than "deliver it to my place of business next week"), and the arcane plumbing on the container you've got (actual quote: "Is this... uh... European?") it might not be worth the dispenser's time to argue with you about safety. I've been lucky and never had a risk of something bad happening, but I can easily imagine one of the employees just pouring a couple of litres into your Gatorade cooler for you if you catch him just before closing.

LN2 is Dangerous Goods, but it's like the easy, babby's-first-hazardous-shipment kind of DG. Don't drink it, don't swim in it, and don't try to seal the container and then sleep with it in an enclosed space, but otherwise it's pretty safe. Idiots always find a way to make it ludicrously dangerous, but I've also been lucky in being able to avoid mixing idiots with LN2, so far.

you can't just walk into a store and say "i'd like one gallon of liquid nitrogen, please" because the uses of it and the means necessary to store and transport it preclude retail use vs. industrial or institutional use. but there's no licensing or anything, if you want to spend the money you could call up praxair or whoever and have a tank full of liquid nitrogen behind your house tomorrow if you can convince the salesperson you're not going to do something stupid with it

e: apparently you can just buy it from a welding supply or building supply store. it looks like nearly all of the cost is for the container, and liquid nitrogen can be as cheap as fifty cents a gallon if you get it in bulk

In new guidelines for local officials published in September, the EPA advised that radiation exposure during disasters ten or more times higher than guidelines under Barack Obama’s administration is safe, Bloomberg reported.

The updated version of the document which in 2007 said no levels of radiation exposure are safe now cites unnamed “radiation safety experts” as saying that “radiation exposures of 5–10 rem (5,000–10,000 mrem or 50–100 mSv) usually result in no harmful health effects, because radiation below these levels is a minor contributor to our overall cancer risk.”

The main barrier to buying liquid N2 is the container, check ebay for used ones and you could find one to fit in your trunk for a few hundred dollars. Then spend like $30 to fill it up at a welding supply shop.

If you'd read my post, you'll note that I basically said exactly that, on more than one occassion, and left with my LN2 to do with as I please.

Welding supply stores are the usual place to get LN2, they typically have a couple of different grades of the stuff (I have no idea what impurities there might be and at what concentration), with the medical-grade stuff being a bit more expensive. It's still dirt cheap if you have the right container. I've received small amounts for free because it wasn't worth it to fill out the invoice for like 1 dollar into my itty-bitty cryoshipper that just needed a top-up.

The time I bought it directly from Praxair was a bit more involved, I had to drive all over the city in the rain to get to the location where they actually had some (I also needed dry ice, that was at another place) and they were pretty on-the-ball about safety at their main processing facility - we had to stay in the truck because we didn't have hardhats, goggles, steel-toes, and high-vis vests with us; they eventually found some of that stuff for us so I could walk over and answer questions at the filling point, and pay for it.

Dry ice is even easier. My GF bought some for my birthday one year, we made drinks with it.

EDIT: a proper container for LN2 can be obtained for the low low price of "free" if you say the right things when they're decommisioning a lab or renovating a hospital.

Grocery stores around here have dry ice for a few dollars a pound. Definitely not hard to get a hold of that.
