Acid attack victim testifies, via recording, at his own murder trial - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=catbarf;52876573]Muriatic and sulfuric acid are the two main acid types used for pools, and you can concentrate either by simply boiling it on the stove. This is not high technology we're dealing with, and strong acids and bases have extremely common everyday applications. Trying to ban them is extremely reactionary.[/QUOTE] boy can you imagine the stink that would make? my nose hairs are tingling just thinking about it. muriatic stinks at low concentrations, boiling it would probably make your brain bleed

[QUOTE=butre;52881965]boy can you imagine the stink that would make? my nose hairs are tingling just thinking about it. muriatic stinks at low concentrations, boiling it would probably make your brain bleed[/QUOTE] you'd definitely make your lungs bleed, HCl vapours are no joke

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;52876672]Yeah, banning acid because it's dangerous sounds about as idiotic as banning kitchen knives because they're sharp.[/QUOTE] Respectfully disagree. Lets say that specifically kitchen knives are on the rise as a murder weapon and you ban them. I know at least 5 chef's that will refuse to give up their expensive collections and will hoard them. There are so many people that don't even work in food that consider themselves hobby chef's as well. I can't imagine if you banned civilian access to acids you would know anybody with a stash of lethal chemicals. Even if you did, you'd have to really stretch to come up with a reason they should give some to you. If they banned knives you could ask around and say "my nan wants to carve a turkey and we threw out all our knives" and possibly convince someone to loan you one.

[QUOTE=LAMB SAUCE;52870327]Sulfuric is worse because of how well it dehydrates organic materials. That's why it can cause permanent blindness very easily. If you've ever spilt it you'll see it almost instantly chars things it comes into contact with. Sodium hydroxide does not do this anywhere near as well but it will of course still give a nasty burn if you leave it on your skin. Yes strong acids cause burns too but they still work in different ways, sulfuric just tends to be nastier when spilt on organic materials.[/QUOTE] Strong base burns are worse, you don't feel them right away in my experience. Same thing happens for phosphoric acid but with sulphuric, you feel that right away when its on your skin.

this is truly peculiar.

I myself have about 10 gallons of concentrated acids on hand that I use for restoring tools and antique engines and I ain't giving it up because some tards think it's a good idea to misuse it. none of that 10 gallons has ever been thrown in anyone's face.

Hell I know strong acids are used in amateur archeology all the time to dissolve the minerals around the fossil. I cant imagine many amateurs will be able to go through the hassle required to get a license for restricted chemicals.

[QUOTE=butre;52883284] none of that 10 gallons has ever been thrown in anyone's face.[/QUOTE] But it could be, don't you see? It's all about the children! You're racist and ableist to acid-burn victims if you keep it. You don't want that! also, acid-burns impact pigment! Do you want to be Racist!

Bump. She was acquitted of murder, but given a life sentence for the attack anyway. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-44222057

this, the worst thing lead acid does is strip aluminum and remove dead skin.

uhh no lead acid burns like crazy and will leave you rolling for weeks

Car batteries carry a very diluted sulfuric acid solution and pose little harm unless it touches sensitive skin or mucus membranes. Just the other day I was installing a new batter and spilt acid on my hand. literally nothing happened other than stripping the dead skin off of it. Meanwhile it eats up the aluminum blade i used to cut the tips off the bottles.

The concentration of sulfuric acid in a lead-acid battery depends on the charge state of the battery. A fully discharged battery contains dilute acid, but charging increases the concentration of acid (up to 30% or 5M)

Not sure how it works in the UK, but it was stupidly easy for me to get 1.5L of concentrated Nitric acid (which is incredibly nasty stuff) off of Amazon when I was reclaiming silver from contactor buttons. No credentials required, just pressed "Buy now" and in a week or so I got the jug.

Now you just need to buy a jug of oleum and you get a free pass to at least two government watchlists!

With the current administration, I'd be surprised to learn that I'm not on at least 4.

You're kidding. You know that you can boil Draino and do the exact same thing, right? Do you have any idea how many things are highly corrosive that you use every single day? Most cleaning chemicals are extremely corrosive.
