Most people do tend to go with that since it does seem to be the obvious answer when asked what a pirate’s favorite letter of the alphabet is.

Contrary to common belief however, most pirates will tell you that their favorite letter isn’t the ‘R’ but instead, and almost every single cuthroat that ever sailed will confirm this, it’s actually the ‘C’.

This is a quality comment
 
I'm going to do the EDC pre-order after the next EDC sale here in a couple weeks. If anybody was wondering.

That way, if you don't get in on the sale, you can just go over to the pre-order and get whatever you want. No big deal. Low stress.
 
I'm going to tell everybody "they will deliver by the end of next year". But I really don't want to set back up and make more of them. I'll probably just stick them into this ongoing run.

Did you know that Sulfuric acid reacts with sodium chloride, and makes hydrogen chloride gas and sodium bisulfate?

The more that you know, huh?

I didn't know that.

When I was 20, I also didn't know that when you combine urine and bleach you essentially create mustard gas. I had bleached the toilet bowl of my bathroom and forgot, in the middle of the night I sat down to take a piss (yes I sat down) and bam. I jacked myself up so bad I ended up calling poison control who basically told me I was a dumb dumb. A lesson I never forgot.

Long time ago I was a supervisor at a water park. There was always pressure to keep rides and wave pool open despite any issues that might better be taken care of shutting them down temporarily. I was told there was a leak in one of the chlorine holding tanks (inside a building), but not sure where. I figured I would find out quickly by holding my breath and squirting bleach mist around looking for color changes. I was sure I could hold my breath long enough…..🤣 Woke up outside with paramedics and staff all around. Thankfully other folks were nutty enough to drag me out.

Man I should have paid attention in chemistry.

I do remember reading that in WW1 before masks were created soldiers would urinate on their socks and breathe through them to neutralise gas from attacks. It only worked for a certain type of gas, for other I believe it exacerbated the effects.
