(Plus, you have to either buy direct from Google or through Verizon. Guess what plebes aren't going to do. That's right: they're not going to buy phones unsubsidized and they're certainly not going to switch to Verizon just for Googlephones.)

I guess the real schaden right now is the US since we just had another mass shooting and the only thing half the country wants to do about it is send thoughts and prayers.

Samizdata posted:It's so strong it is actually hygroscopic. So, if you leave it for a while not completely tightly capped, it will absorb water out of the air. I've done a shot of everclear just for the experience, and held it in my mouth a little to get the sensation. To me, in addition to the burning, the most distinct part of it was how dry and dead it made my mouth feel. It was like I'd taken a shot of flour or something. Not sure if that was from it literally killing the surface cells in my mouth or what though. I now have some 100% Ethanol (not denatured) I use for cleaning things and I have not dared touch it. I imagine it would be about the same. Sagebrush posted:That's pretty loving nuts because properly cured silicone is one of the most inert compounds we know how to make.

I assume there are different formulations for different things, but I am really curious as to what is causing this damage.

Yeah, it sucks. We have a large population of Guatemalans in southern Delaware and it hurts hearing my co-workers talk about them (almost within their earshot). I'm going to e-mail the district leader about other work issues but I will bring this up. I've tried talking to them about their language but they don't care because all they see is the kids running around, messing with signs and clothing fixtures. The kids can speak English so I'm surprised that we haven't heard anything from corporate about the racism. And the funny thing is, when a customer wants something, they will pay for it. They don't haggle over price, look for coupons, or get huffy like white women do.
