@anotherusername Unlikely. She never expressed any interest--even when I did, a time or two--and now she's married to, as far as I can tell, a really great guy who makes her happier than she ever used to be back when we were in school.

To be completely honest, I don't even remember her name anymore. It's been a while.

@FrostCat said in Warning: Contains nuts*:
Man, everyone should just put "warning: X" on everything.
This has happened many times for many values of X. Which is why everything has so many pointless warnings.
I propose we just make some little handbook containing every possible warning. Every product will have one of those attached, and you just give them back to the shop next time you visit (to help save the environment). They'll circulate back and forth with every transaction to make sure everyone is properly warned of everything.

@Fox evolution is trying to kill people like him.
But we are trying to save them. And we will win.
Besides, it's just a matter of decades before human genetic engineering becomes viable. Then, if the moralists allow us, we can cure all these things at once.

there's nothing wrong with Axe.
I'm sorry, but from my perspective that's just wrong.
The slightest whiff of the stuff is enough to have me grabbing an antihistamine and then finding somewhere outdoors to swallow it.

I can't use bleach to clean because I can't take the smell.
Mix some ammonia in. It completely changes the smell

Doubtful. You might get a whiff of ammonia as you pour it but after that I think all you'd smell is chlorine, which is what the bleach smells like, only stronger.

@anotherusername on a vaguely related note, you shouldn't clean a very dirty litter box with bleach. Cat piss has a lot more ammonia than people piss

Of course. Cats have a higher proportion of protein in their diet.

Acetone (might crystallize and blow up if you look at it the wrong way)
Acetone? It's an everyday household chemical that I get from the drugstore by the liter. It's highly flammable and mildly toxic, but all in all it's not much more dangerous than rubbing alcohol.

It is an excellent solvent (for things other than nail polish); use to remove permanent marks on a white board.
Might depend upon the concentration. Hydrogen Peroxide is pretty dangerous at higher concentrations than you can buy in the drugstore which is only 3%.

I always use alcohol for that. Perfect results and it doesn't stink as much as acetone. Unfortunately for some reason it's becoming harder and harder to get a pure alcohol/water mixture without some nasty chermical designed to prevent you from drinking it.

@Fox Is it a straight up allergy or some sort of condition too? I've never heard of dairy causing fatal allergies.

@mikehurley Allergy, as far as I know.

@mikehurley No it doesn't. It does cause you to run to the fucking loo with a violent need to take a shit right there and then though.
I am lactose intolerant (wasn't always) and I use milk replacements (soya milk is fine and I don't mind the taste). But most places don't offer it so I have a pot of coffee mate under my desk at work.

digestive problems, vomiting, and hives

Just because you've destroyed your taste buds to the point where you don't mind the taste doesn't mean it's "fine".
More seriously, you ever try Lactaid? I have a cousin with milk allergies when she was a kid and she used to use that.

I'm still trying to understand why this forum doesn't have just such a label.
Filed under: after all, I'm here, and I far from the only one...

@FrostCat Getting soya is hard enough. I rather put up with something that tastes a bit odd over the fear of shitting myself in public.
I lived in Spain and they don't have proper milk either so I think I unwittingly weened myself off of regular dairy.

If lactose intolerance is your problem, lact-aid should reduce or eliminate it. Then you get to have real milk, not nasty "substitutes".

@J_T said in Warning: Contains nuts*:
@masonwheeler That is all kinds of wrong.
In my college level chem labs we didn't even look at HF. I doubt we even stocked it.
In organic chemistry we did deal with lots and lots of stuff like Diethyl Ether (will blow up if somebody makes a spark in the next county, or the next room that somebody was using a bunsen burner in), Acetone (might crystallize and blow up if you look at it the wrong way), lots and lots of stuff that will react violently with water, burn you badly, take your skin apart, or just outright poison you.
The standing rule in the lab was: If the professor said "Get out of the lab," you got out. Right away. No questions, nothing, you bailed out. This rule was invoked once when the professor noticed a student's reaction starting to produce orange fumes. In case you aren't familiar with why this was an issue, check out the Wikipedia article on Nitrogen Dioxide. When we heard the rule invoked (twice, the first got our attention, the second we responded to), everybody ran out the exits as fast as we could. The professor put the whole thing in a fume hood until the reaction stopped.
I was not a fan of that lab, especially after one accident (ugly green toluene derivative overboiled in a flask and sprayed all over me and could have blinded my professor) and one big scare (nearly blew up a fume hood when I got a bottle of sodium wet).
a) A bit of an overreaction
b) Why on earth didn't you start your reactions under a fume hood to begin with?Over here, every student pair in a lab has its own fume hood. Plus, pretty much any solvent other than water has inopportune side effects so you want to use a fume hood even when everything is going right in those cases. I mean, you probably don't want to inhale CHCl3 over the period of time a normal organic reaction usually takes.
-
@Rhywden I remember one of my college labs involved HF. I have no idea what the reaction was, but IIRC the HF was a reaction product. I expressed concern to the professor. The conversation may have gone something like this:
Are you concerned about it etching the glass?
Actually, I'm more concerned about it etching me.
Well, don't spill any on yourself.
-
@HardwareGeek I recall one experiment where we were ordered to not wear gloves, as they would be worthless in the event of a spill and would actually become fused to our hands. I forget exactly which experiment it was, but I'm pretty sure it was one involving Fluorine. Fun times. No one's hand dissolved, thankfully.

When I was in Argentina, you could buy little plastic bottles of pure ethanol at the store. Suggested uses on the label included cleaning, helping to start a cooking fire (the local equivalent of barbecues are a huge part of the culture), and mixing into drinks.

Yes, it is. However, accidents happen. Like the time I was dissolving a sample in boiling concentrated nitric acid (yes, in a fume hood), and it spattered. I only got a couple of drops on my hand, but it took a few weeks for the marks to fade. Or the time (not in a chem lab) that I dripped solder on my leg; I still have the scar from that. Or the time one of my fellow student workers dropped a bottle of cyclohexene — nobody needed to be told to get the heck out of the lab; it's not as bad as thioacetone (I guess; I have never been so unfortunate as to have smelled it), but it's plenty foul enough to clear all the connected labs in a hurry.
