What do you mean? 20ish seconds of sustained fire should clear most houses; larger-than-average houses may require additional bombardment to collapse all structural walls.

Had a dealer back in the 80s who had a huge pile of cocaine. It was in one of those gallon ziploc bags, and about one-third filled it.

He must have crossed the wrong person or persons unknown, because he ended up with a bullet through the back of his head. They didn't even take his supply, according to the paper.

It not being actual cocaine / cut 99% with baking powder would explain all of these things at once.

The absolute fool. Sulfuric acid and fluorspar will get you aqueous HF acid but you need oleum and a reaction temperature of 200-400C for a suitable rate, yield, and self purification through the gas phase if you want HF.

Gaseous HF is certainly something one should be making in their backyard, especially someone not intimately familiar with the production process.

When I was in grad school, someone in another lab spilled a bunch of THF everywhere. When it was reported it in to the safety people, they apparently only heard "HF" and thus called in the 5 alarm fire response. Everyone was very confused for a while.

I remember all the emergency personnel arriving but I didn't get all the backstory until years later

My university had a storage shed for outdated chemical storage. The new university president didn't like the look of it, so he ordered it moved. The orders didn't go the the department, they went to maintenance. So they came along with a forklift. As soon as it lifted a few inches, the sound of breaking glass was heard.

It ended with a call for a hazmat team response. The building got closed for a day during the cleanup.

Are we talking a "has a NATO designation" nerve agent or "particularly potent cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticide that you still don't wanna gently caress with" nerve agent?

Yeah, during the Novichok "incidents" I described nerve gas as "human-grade bug spray" more than once to acquaintances and friends who were curious and whose only exposure to "what is nerve gas" was The Rock and 24.

thalidomide still has useful medical applications but was a great a example of the damage that poor scientific rigor can do especially if it isn't checked. It's also an example of a few scientists correctly checking poor rigor to try to prevent harm.

The only difference between a pesticide and a war crime is the size of the pest.
