Ah, fun times in school: "hey, did you know that if you let solder drop for 30cm onto your hand that it's cooled down enough by the time it hits that it won't hurt?"

i did that to my hand.
my right hand.
my right hand that was at the time holding the soldering iron.
after that i stopped soldering.

Oh, great, the anecdotal "I lobotomized myself with a rusty shank and am still able to count to ten without my fingers." evidence.
Why would I need to count to ten without my fingers? I lobotomized myself, I didn't cut off my fingers.

@HardwareGeek I propose a new form that people have to fill out when they ask for gluten-free food. It's simple - one question, multiple choice.
- I have celiac disease
- I am an ass-hat
- I actually have no problem with gluten; ignore my request
-
@ben_lubar whoops, forgot one:
- there is a device implanted into my digestive tract that will detonate if it detects gluten
-
@masonwheeler presumably Argentina doesn't have different tax rates for alcohol depending on whether it is intended to be consumed; that's the only reason why you'd sell denatured alcohol, or control the sale of pure ethanol.

Pro tip: don't try to solder the underside of a table.

@ben_lubar said in Warning: Contains nuts*:

I read an article about this a while ago. A bunch of restaurants solved the problem of people pretending to have allergies by saying they charge extra for gluten-free food. If you've ever read what a conscientious place has to go through to prepare a gluten-free meal, you'd understand why they want to weed out the assholes. (If I were in charge, once someone agreed to actually pay, I'd probably comp the fee anyway.)

Yes, and once you fall off the bottom of the table and clock your head on the floor you'll gain an appreciation for how true that is!
I'd like to know how else you could've dropped molten solder on your soldering hand, though. Unless you were using two irons and neglected to say that.

I honestly have no idea, but i've got the scars to prove that it happened....

Funny you should say that; that's just how I dripped solder on my leg (well, soldering wiring on the underside of the table).
-
I have a small spot (1 - 2 mm2) on my palm where fingerprints (palmprints?) don't grow anymore because I was a dumbass who didn't (and still doesn't) wear gloves while welding, and I managed to shove the nearly-molten tip of a short, nearly-spent rod onto my hand while trying to adjust the flame.

Ok, but unless you were upside down, it's pretty unlikely you'd've dripped it on the hand holding the iron.

@mott555 I once tried to adjust the spacing of a Jacob's Ladder by hand when the arc stopped striking. It didn't end well.

@FrostCat said in Warning: Contains nuts*:
If you've ever read what a conscientious place has to go through to prepare a gluten-free meal,
I was in a large chain restaurant yesterday. I noticed that their menu lists a number of gluten-free dishes, with a footnote that says they meet the FDA (or whatever) standard of <= N parts per million, but they cannot, and do not attempt to, be completely gluten-free.
-

The wire I was trying to solder was overhead (from my position sitting on the floor), and I could pretty easily have dripped it on just about any part of my body.

Depends on the story behind it.
I always try to make my injuries sound more exciting.
Scratched up from failing to jump a curb on my bike (in my defense it was dark and thought it was lower than it was) becomes bear attack.
Falling flat on my face rollerblading over a bumpy brick section of one of the greenways--MMA training.
Second degree burns on my finger and lip from overheating lava cake in the microwave and testing it if it was done--pyrotechnics accident.

Yeah, just because it's not making light, doesn't mean it's not still completely electrified... Ouch.

The hum of the transformator usually gives it away, though.

@masonwheeler said in Warning: Contains nuts*:
When I was in Argentina, you could buy little plastic bottles of pure ethanol at the store.
Where can you not, Utah? Here, you can buy half a liter of the stuff no questions asked (well, it's 96% because chemistry, but still). People mostly make tinctures from it.
We also get denatured alcohol, with some stuff added to make you throw up when you drink it. Allegedly to prevent kids from drinking it by accident when you leave it around the grill. Actually mostly for tax purposes - a bottle of denatured alcohol is like ten times cheaper than a bottle of pure one.
Actually scratch the kids part, since they used to put methanol into that. I think they don't anymore, though.

Apparently, and surprisingly, you can.
https://www.reference.com/food/states-legal-sell-everclear-63b66f135b176678
As of Jan. 2015, 14 states ban the sale of Everclear including Maryland, California, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio. Alcohol vendors can sell Everclear in the other 36 states.
Hmm, counting seems to be hard.

Apparently Maryland superbanned the stuff since it's listed twice.
I'm too lazy to rant about that using the word "including" with an exhaustive list, anyone want to have a go?

Fucking nanny state.

@boomzilla Actually, I understand that Nanny State is pretty tasty as <1% ABV beers go.

@ScholRLEA Marylanders deserve nothing less.

@boomzilla Brewdog is in the UK, actully, and it was the Brits who objected to Tactical Nuclear Penguin (a 32% icebeer), which is what Nanny State was a response to.

Probably does come from the transformer, but there's no load on it when the circuit is open...

It's almost like someone doesn't know the difference between "including" and "comprised of".

Step 1: Make a company named "Warning, contains:"
Step 2: Start producing foods, specialise on the allergen ones.
Step 3: Package front and center will be "Warning, contains: Peanuts", "Warning, contains: Honey", etc...
Step 4: $$$, primarily those you'll save on lawsuits with american stupidity.You can hire my company "Nine of out ten experts" to recommend your product.

@boomzilla Surely you meant "nothing more" there.

100% acetone right here from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Onyx-Professional-Acetone-Remover-Artificial/dp/B0051IC96Y
This product not endorsed by me. I will not be responsible for any damage it does.
Anyway, the reason I popped in here: was just at a sandwich place, and you can pretty much use the allergy warnings as an ingredients list.
Almost.
One thing no one is apparently allergic to are cucumbers. And they are in every single fucking sandwich. I can't stand them! And I don't mean I don't like them, I get nauseated just by the smell of sliced cucumbers (I have no problems with them until then, whatever is bothering me does not affect me when they are whole).
Now, the fun bit? I know two other people besides me with the same reaction, but everyone else thinks we're crazy and/or exaggerating. They also looked at me funny when I asked them to make a fresh sandwich without cucumbers for me in the store (no, taking them out doesn't help much, I can taste them still).
Anyone else or am I really a ?

I have relatives who don't like cucumbers. Weirdos.
-
@dkf I never got the chance to try liking them - a couple of times I was stupid enough to ingest some they insisted on evacuating the same way they came in, ASAP.

When I was a child (something like 6 years old), whenever I eat/drink something containing fish, no matter how little the trace it was, I vomit. I think when I growed to like 12 years old I become somewhat tolerant to fish, and on something like 20 years old I begin to enjoy sushi (with raw fish meat)
Maybe I'm also qualified to be called a

I don't particularly care for them. I don't puke if I eat them, and occasionally do so voluntarily — I've even made cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches for a tea party for my (ex-)wife's birthday — but I generally prefer their absence.

My parent recently found it's the seeds that are the problem, but you're describing worse problems than they had.

I don't like cucumbers either.
Though if they're fried in twice their weight in butter it's not too bad.

Cucumbers in any form are one of the very few foods I find truly disgusting.

I actually have a friend with a cucumber allergy. As in serious, nasty reaction, possibly including anaphalaxis.
For some strange reason, she can eat pickles just fine.
