Heck in Junior School I made a model volcano with potassium dichromate and magnesium powder. There was a science store downtown you could just go in and buy chemicals. I've handled carbon tetrachloride as a teen, in school. The poo poo we used to do as kids. Alas those days are gone.

FFT posted:Needs some coltan (niobium/tantalum) for completion if The Sarah Connor Chronicles are canon I didn't even get into the electronics side. Tantalum, cadmium, lithium, lead, tin, gold, silver, mercury. Or being the weird kid with the one-volume Encyclopedia Brittanica from the early 1900s (and parents that gave me good supervision). No more elements (except Sulphur), but saltpeter, lignum vitae, gum arabic, washing soda, nitre, chalk, potash. Those kinds of things. Being a Renaissance Man has interesting side effects.

The whole reason I enjoy Cody is he does it, so we don't have to. :-) We have NileRed for the tamer stuff. What shocks me, is that video is 2021... Edit: Oh, that's from someone re-uploading his video. Hah. Explains Canyon as the cameraperson. Nerobro has a new favorite as of 14:46 on Apr 5, 2022 |

Is Cody still alive? Last thing I saw about him was that his girlfriend/wife left him because she didn't want to live in a murkry mine and he seemed to be in a pretty bad place as a result

`Nemesis posted:The brain is such a weird thing, lithium proved to be critical in my "don't kill yourself" drug cocktail, it was a game changer. I don't know if this is apocryphal, but it was the "Up" part of 7-Up in its original formulation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_Up#History quote:The product, originally named "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda", was launched two weeks before the Wall Street Crash of 1929.[2] It contained lithium citrate, a mood-stabilizing drug, until 1948.[3][4] It was one of a number of patent medicine products popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. Its name was later shortened to "7 Up Lithiated Lemon Soda" before being further shortened to just "7 Up" by 1936.[5] Also there is at least one study from Japan that indicates slightly elevated levels of naturally-occurring lithium in drinking water reduces incidences of suicide: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3863886/

Sagebrush posted:Is Cody still alive? Posted a new video April 1 about using space rocks to dig a deep enough hole on mars to have an outside experience. I .. uh.. thought the process of Canyon leaving was what lead to him going whole hog on Chickenhole base. She's got her own youtube channel, posts a couple times a year. Cody definitely had a real time of it, with the separation. Covid didn't make matters ay better.

We just did this upthread. That is the case under normal conditions, but under prolonged hypoxia your body does indeed start to worry about the O2 level in your blood.

I don't know if it's really chemistry but spil-aid really is magical stuff. Someone slopped detergent all over the floor at work and I was dreading trying to clean it up but mercifully I found a packet of the stuff, and had to sense to look for it rather than trying a mop.

Can’t even really know if the destination was in this country. Also it’s on a train. It’s intermodal. Intermodal haz shipments are the ones that have a chance of being inspected in a terminal. So they tend to be more likely to be properly secured. But it’s not like there are many people doing those inspections. There’s so much haz being transported. And craploads of it just uh sitting around in CFS and terminals too.

Yeah anything in 5 is a fussy bitch to transport. Some of the organic peroxides have sub hazards and additional requirements based on concentration nobody checks because it’s in a different table and lol the computer stowage programs aren’t able to. Calcium hypochlorite has been the cause of a few recent vessel fires too. Bar Ran Dun has a new favorite as of 07:10 on Apr 7, 2022 |
