I have one shorter and fatter and I hear sloshing my mom refuses to believe there's mercury in it
You just knew we were all sitting out here, just waiting on you putting that mercury back in the 'Bob, right? Yikes, I just saw the date on this vijeho…I'm typing to myself!
ik this is a really old video but I gotta say it, usualy the freebase is better absorbed. freebase being the basic version of the salt due to the fact it is more lipophilic and can get absorbed by the brain whitch is just a fatty mass. example diazapam ae Valium vs lorazapam ae adivan, with the dizapam being much more lipophilic it is absorbed and disposed of easyer by the body where the lorazapam is my hydrophilic and has a much less peaky absorbtion curve
Just when I thought I’d seen all your videos…
Starrett; “Tiffany box for men”
Immensely accurate.
I remember back in the day(1968); when in chemistry class this beaker of mercury (500ml) was passed around from student to student to observe and feel it with your fingers by sticking a finger directly into it. Weird feeling like cold Jello while still in liquid form. The only precaution given is those with open wounds was not to feel it out. It did not smell like anything. It was liquid metal. If a drop hit the desk it became a many micro droplets and could be collected by attraction to itself. If you had a small drop, you would corral it and it would pick up the other droplets and incorporate it into the small drop so it got bigger. I think we used wood sticks to move it around. Later I found out how it is used in gold prospecting.
.BTW – all classmates are still alive without health issues, and I have handled asbestos and Green Kryptonite and radium and lead.(shrug shoulders)
. I think the claim of dampening effect would fly in the face of Newtonian physics.? A body in motion yada, yada, yada.
It’s an heirloom you can pass to your decedents, not unlike the genetics damaged by handling mercury from handling mercury.
Or if you have cuts on your hands.
Once upon a time, the mercury vapor boiler was a thing for power generation station for a brief moment in history.
But man a mercury contactor will last a long time. Just be sure wear ppe if you gotta change one that finally burnt up.
Do you have any rulers left over please?
Always store underwater then you want slowly lose your Mercury
I know this is an old vidjao, but have you seen the video where a guy floats an anvil in a bucket of mercury?
Maybe don’t put yer sandwich in that tub after this show
