Still better tiling than my bathroom (previously posted in this thread).

I like the tile quite a bit and I normally loathe tiled countertops. The red would be too much without the blue, but together I like it.

What I don't get is why there's a bathroom in the kitchen in a 900sq foot house.

If I were to guess, homeboy is probably suing and his lawyer recommended he take down anything on social media about it.

It was removed by the moderators, not deleted by the OP.

It is possible that it was removed by them at the request of the OP because they forgot their throwaway account’s password or whatever, though.

Yeah, that's going to be a really interesting case to sort out. According to one of the comments made before the post was removed (so take it with a grain of salt) it was one of POs kids who found the jar in an abandoned boat, thought it was neat and took it home. The jar then was broken in the move. The poster is obviously due some form of compensation for injury suffered through no fault of their own, but It's not clear that PO is the one who should be on the hook for it.

PO didn't disclose a known hazard. That's not going to look good on the lawsuit.

Did the PO know about it prior to closing? Hard to be sure without knowing the age of the POs kids, when exactly the jar broke, and whether the kid hid the existence of the jar from the parents. Kids do stupid crap like that all the time and any decent defense attorney is going to argue that there was no reasonable expectation for the adults transacting a property exchange to be omnipotent of their kid's recent actions.

i feel like jar of mercury isn't just like a oops it um.. rolled away / seeped into the floor kind of thing. Unless kid took jar broke it and cleaned up without telling anyone. I ANAL but even then I feel like the PO should be held responsible for remediation costs at minimum.

If the kid broke the jar and cleaned it up themselves without telling anyone, I feel like they would be dead, or nearly dead from mercury poisoning.
Maybe not, I don't know much detail, but like when kids clean poo poo up they're pretty sloppy to begin with let alone knowing that this "funny liquid" is something I should be wearing gloves and maybe a respirator to handle.

Whenever I think of mercury I can't help but think of that group of kids in shittown USA wherever that found a barrel of mercury in an abandoned factory. They had a "mercury fight" in one of local restaurants and one kid dipped a cigarette in the barrel in smoked it. He lost one lung and half of the other, and most of the town had to be decontaminated.

Liquid mercury is dangerous, but not dimethylmercury levels of danger. I definitely played with small amounts (from broken mercury switches) as a kid, and I'm not dead. The vapors are the dangerous part (it's not absorbed well if eaten), so any spill that isn't cleaned up would potentially release vapors for a really long time.

I can't find anything about him losing a lung, the most I can find is that one of them was coughing blood. http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,138442,00.html

I wonder if you might be conflating it with the truly insane radiation exposures like Goiania? Although I think everyone involved lost a lot more than a lung

I mean, can we really talk about mercury ingestion without this?





fizzymercury posted:

I was 11, and I spent a long time in the hospital over it. I got to see a lot of specialists and student doctors because I'm a rare idiot. I still have extreme anxiety issues and neuropathy in my hands and feet from it. I can't have children because I still have enough elevated heavy metal levels that it would affect the fetus. I'm in three long term studies for lifelong effects of methylmercury exposure.

I'm really lucky I spit 95% of it out and washed my mouth out a bunch or I'd just be dead. It wasn't much mercury either. It was less than half teaspoon worth.

My IRL nickname in my hometown is Mercky and has been since 7th grade. Everyone knows I'm the mercury drinker and I embrace my stupidity. Also it's really kinda cool to know what mercury tastes like. Everyone that hears about it wants a detailed description of it.

Don't drink stuff that isn't food, even if you think it looks really delicious or smells good. Like antifreeze. Don't drink that either.

e: I'm still mad it didn't taste like liquid silver rainbows.

I took this picture a couple years ago of a store location my company acquired. I suspect extreme penny pinching and/or laziness was a factor here; these were probably laying around in the backroom. Instead of using proper office lightning fixtures.

Sadly this spectacle of terrible construction was demolished soon after this picture was taken.
