No idea. I just work with acetylene and am familiar with old acetylene gas machines which use calcium carbide to make it. I have no idea what those toxins actually do in large amounts because I’m only used to dealing with them as fairly trace contaminants. I just know enough to know that the acetylene itself shouldn’t be much of an issue but those two chemicals could be.
Good thing it’s surrounded by water.
Joking aside, if it didn’t burst into flames right away then it’s probably fine on the acetylene front. The main hazard of acetylene is just the insane flamability (explosive limits 2.5-100%). But it’s also very soluble in water and isn’t really harmful to the environment on it’s own. There are actually bacteria that can use it as a food source. So the acetylene is just going to be quickly disapated by the wind and disolved into the ocean where it’ll be broken down into harmless products.
The bigger concern is that, with that much calcium carbide reacting, there was likely fairly substantial amounts of phosphine and arsine produced as well. Those are both pretty damn toxic. Normally the amount of both of those produced in a calcium carbide reaction is fairly small but when there are several shipping containers of the stuff reacting then those normally trace contaminants are likely going to actually amount to something.
Technically yes, but in the current political climate phrases like your initial one are frequently said by right wing wackos to alude to various protected classes indirectly. For example. With your initial comment
and as such the system is beneficial to minorities (specific ones, not all).
The first thing that pops into my head isn’t billionares, it’s alex jones ranting about “the jews” and “the world order”, because the way you wrote that comment had a lot in common with the way those people talk when they’re trying to not say the quiet part out loud.
I think they were meaning the billionare class and they just phrased it very suspiciously.
Yes? If I could get everything in one place then I would happily pay for that. I don’t pirate to save money. Saving money is just a nice sideeffect. I pirate because it’s literally more convenient than juggling 15 different services.
If he had the right plumbing then a zip tie would have also worked.
Yes but if you reply to a clone bot, it’s not like the clone bot is going to reply to you back. The fact that replies are cloned doesn’t change the fact that noone is actually there and you’re just talking to a wall. I use social media to interact with people. If I wanted to see redit posts and not interact with people then I would just browse reddit without an account.
It has been done several times and the concensus has always been that people hate it. Check out lemmit. They do exactly that and because of it most instances have defederated from them.
Lemmy doesn’t have the userbase of reddit. If you start just cloning posts from reddit then pretty soon everyones all feed only consists of dead bot made posts. Cloning shit from reddit just turns lemmy into a ghost town.
What do they even get out of cutting these cables? How does this benefit china in any way?
Ah, going with the quantum bogo sort then.
I’m kind of curious if this would work if you already have implants. With those being screwed into the bone would it do enough damage to prevent growing a tooth in that location?
I remember my moms old Garmin GPS always said “turn left down bike path” when we got close to home. I also one heard it tell her to turn left down a river while we were driving over a bridge.
