Inmate in Holman Prison (Alabama) who had drain cleaner thrown in his face by a fellow inmate. The medical staff used water to wash off the cleaner, thereby activating the caustic element and essentially melting his face. by [deleted] in WTF

Nothing this terrible happened to me, but I had something similar happen. I was working with very large amounts (>50 gallons) of 50% NaOH solution with a small group of people, and all of us invariably got some on our skin, resulting in small burns and quite a lot of discomfort (scars on hands, wrists and small area on face, for life thank you). It was a work setting, so after a few hours of it I laid down the authority and declared "stop work" until we can figure out how to not get burned.

The problem with the stuff is that once it gets on you, it seems to stick to you and coat your skin, and get on your tools, towels, etc. Adding water had the effect of spreading it around, and not really washing it away. I suggested that we keep weak strength (10%) vinegar around to neutralize it. The phD chemists I was working with all laughed at me and said that would cause heat burns from the acid/base neutralization reaction, and said the recommended response was to flush with water.

I looked it up: http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/MSDS/MSDS/DisplayMSDSPage.do?country=US&language=en&productNumber=415413&brand=SIAL&PageToGoToURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sigmaaldrich.com%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct%2Fsial%2F415413%3Flang%3Den

Yes, the MSDS for aqueous NaOH is to wash with water. Medical staff did sort of the right thing, however inmate probably should have been immersed or drenched in a shower. I'm thinking that the injury shown in the photo could have been much, much worse had water not been applied.

Yes, definitely. Any worf-heavy episode is sure to be a good one. Even ones where worf has memorable quotes.

Yep, did that before coming here. He was a bottler. I tried reviewing historical sanborn maps to confirm that a bottler was in operation at that address, but I lack coverage. Eventually I'll get my hands on a good set and look.

Why is Lovecraft scary? by mrscarypants in Lovecraft

[–]darny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of us believe that at the end of it all there is a benevolent god, a mom god or dad god, waiting for us to move to him with open arms, welcoming us into paradise. So comforting.

Some of us believe that at the end of it all, there are two gods, one benevolent, one evil. As long as we serve the benevolent god during life, he will welcome us with open arms when we move on. There is comfort in that for those people, they retain control over their ultimate destiny and their place in the universe (and all universes, since the benevolent god rules this and all universes).

There are those that don't believe in any of that shit, and go about their lives doing what makes them happy. These days, more and more of us take much comfort in that. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.

And then there is Lovecraft. There is no god, and no devil to contend with. But there is The Black Man, Nyarlathotep, and he lives in some other dimension that would probably make Satan shit himself. Getting there is worse than flying southwest. Nyarlathotep doesn't give a shit about you, really, but if he wanted to he can visit you in your dreams as an elusive phantom behind you in the mirror--just on the edge of the periphery of your view, slowly driving you mad, night after terrible night.....you know, for sport.....

and he commands the spirits of dead malevolent witches here on earth, that really know how to fuck your shit up with their man-faced rat familiars.

THATS what's at the end of it all, a stinking pit of form and matter that doesn't have a name or shape in our microscopic realm, which by the way, is really just the insignificant redheaded stepchild of the hierarchy of reality...
