The rain would quickly render it useless as an explosive, and if it was inside a container the metal would shield it

and even then, ammonium nitrate is just an oxidiser, (in layman’s terms, it makes already flammable stuff burn faster when ignited, so fast that in some cases it detonates), and without fuel it can’t do anything on it’s own

Ammonium nitrate isn’t dangerous.

It’s not gunpowder, it’s not rocket propellant, it’s not liquified natural gas

you need extreme heat and fuel to make it detonate, in the Beirut case that was given by nearby stored fireworks, but otherwise it’s pretty safe to use, you can blast it with a blowtorch and it doesn’t even burn

The misconception of it being explosive comes from the fact that people buy it as fertilizer and then use it to make bombs by mixing it with fuel and other primary and secondary explosives (or just to have some fun with homemade gunpowder), and even then, usually you use potassium nitrate, a derivative of ammonium nitrate, because the ammonium nitrate is just so goddamn hard to detonate

Now, should they accept the ship? I don’t know, as far as I know Russia’s regulations might as well allow storage of ammonium nitrate inside the ship’s fuel tanks, but some simple checks would mitigate 99.99999% of risks.

That said, it’s still Russia and we shouldn’t be giving it money anyways, but I’m not gonna get into politics here

meanwhile Japan having hanging as their only method for death penalty

potassium chloride is just sodium-free salt, I can get it at my supermarket, the issue is getting the other 2 drugs for the cocktail

the 3d printing part is only aesthetical, people have been taking their lifes by just using a bag or whatever else can contain the nitrogen from a tank

still scary AF

ok slightly unrelated but the satellite pictures have an insane resolution for having been taken from, you know, space

The pics

Just imagine what the government has if that’s what’s available commercially to the public

sounds like what autocorrect would say when you click the suggested word over and over

How people are so confident in sharing their DNA, something you cannot change, that you will carry on for your entire life, and that can uniquely identify you with just a small sample, to a private, profit-driven company still amazes me

And the worst part is, even if you’re careful about it, all that’s needed is a relative doing it and now the company can basically tell most of your family tree

And all for what, knowing the parents of the parents of your parents come from some neighboring country? No shit, Sherlock, people move around

Gen Z definitely drinks a lot, at least in my personal experience, but studies agrees with the comic, so I guess it would depend on the country/age group

I swear the post sounds like an LLM so much, but if it isn’t, congrats to OP on the writing skills

try out Gallery (yes, it’s really called just “Gallery”), I’ve found it to be the best one out there, even better then aves

yeah you should absolutely support your local library if you can, I’m just an introvert who doesn’t like it

am I dumb or just not getting it? where is BIM written

try anna’s archive and sci-hub next time, they usually have most papers for free

happening right now. I guess it’s a sign

dang I guess I lost the argument /s
