Welcome back to Cody's laboratory, where safety is #3 priority.

[@andersledell8643]

My thought exactly when he stuck his finger in the HCl. Like I have spilled high molar HCl on my hands in chem labs and it isn't a big deal, but like dang dude. At least you could pretend.

+Nicholas Howatson Some reason you keep spamming that everywhere? If it's for shock value, it's not at all shocking. If it's for humor, it's not remotely funny. You just seem desperate for attention. Also, women is plural, and the indefinite article 'a' indicates a single entity. That one's free.

not any acid, fucking hydrochloric acid.

[@ReviewThings]

Everyone complains to you about safety...I wish they met my chemistry teacher in highschool, she was crazy, and gave two hecks about safety..for her self...we were obviously protected, but she just did her thing....my favorite quote(s) from her still today is "so see guys, we have a very strong acid, if this was to touch your skin it would....oh shoot, i left my gloves over there" another student replied, "want me to get them?" she then said "naah, i guess if i spill it you guys will realize why being old sucks"

[@gunn-kristinrstory3820]

Spoons101 its 70 dislikes out of 240 000 wievs it could be someone missing the like button even........ if u take 70 and divide it by 240 000 u get 0.000291. I agree on that its a good video. But ppl have their own opinion and tbh i dont think anyone will complain about that like to dislike ratio when only 70 ppl out of 240 000 hated it so mouch that they disliked so that means (if im correct) 0.00291 of the ppl watching disliked

[@patpawlowski7635]

Fun to see a dental scrap video. I've saved up several dozen grams of dental scrap over the last several years of extracting teeth and cutting them off to redo them. Even Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns can have a significant amount of gold and palladium in them. There is plenty of money to be made in dental scrap, just send it to dental metal refiners and you can get great returns. high noble dental alloys will contain a minimum of 40% gold and at least 60% precious metals. There are even some gold colored, high palladium alloys that are only 2% gold, so just because it is gold colored, does not mean it contains lots of gold (argen Y+ alloy).

The mixing of units its really annoying.. if the scale measures in grams why use ounces :/

Cause the world has both

[@rdizzy1]

It's the same with weed, grams, ounces, pounds, then strangely goes back to metric with kilograms.

Platinum from catalytic converters is totally possible. Hence the reason people steal them and scrap places buy em.
