I guess our drunks are smarter or perhaps they can't read. And that is surprising considering one of our favorite past times is to sue people/companies. After all, we need printed in plain sight "coffee is hot" And the flip side is you can buy "rust stain remover" that contains hydrofluoric acid www.amazon.com/Whink-1281-10OZ-Stain-Remover/product-reviews/B000LNQNM0?reviewerType=all_reviewsThis is absolutely fucking insane, that such a dangerous chemical is available so easily. What's next, rat poison with 210Po as the active ingredient? Amazon should be thoroughly pilloried for this.

Goes this mean that we get to see a comic book superhero version of Daniel from Keysight Marketing ripping his shirt off? [For those who haven't seen enough of Keysight Marketing's video output: I have a teensy suspicion that when he's not playing Keysight's front-man that Daniel might quite possibly be as flamboyantly camp as a tree full of monkeys on acid. I don't know whether he's straight or not, but he definitely veers towards camp.]
Yeah it’s leveraging the cheap recycling of old material really. The original is here:https://youtu.be/Ac7G7xOG2AgThere’s a trend of recycling old stuff now rather than come up with something new. Typical stuff like remakes really kill me to be honest. Battlestar Galactica is a fine example. This tends to erase the old version and the original creative effort. This is one of the joys of series like The Expanse; it’s not recycled and they put some serious effort into it.

Quote from: Cerebus on April 11, 2021, 12:42:36 amCommiserations on it being Harp. Can you really still get that stuff? I haven't seen that on a pump or even in a can in the UK for years. Given the swill that a worrying number of Britons will drink under the label "lager" it might be surprising that we've given it the cold shoulder, but that we have.It is probably better than some other stuff on that continent; Budwiser isn't good but it positively eclipses Coors. Whenever I see a Coors all I think about is the CO2 emitted transporting that gnats' piss around. Come to think of it, gnats' piss probably has more flavour.

Customer ReviewElle En1.0 out of 5 stars Works, but you’re better off finding a less hazardous rust removerReviewed in the United States on March 2, 2019Item Package Quantity: 1 Verified PurchaseTL/DR: yes, this stuff absolutely works on rust, but I would suggest finding another rust remover whose active ingredient is NOT hydrofluoric acid.So why the one star? One for actually working, and minus four for safety and to balance out the raving reviews. This should NOT be permitted to be sold as a regular household product. I want to reiterate what a previous reviewer said about this product containing an extremely hazardous substance, which is hydrofluoric acid. I am a biochemist and THIS STUFF IS NO JOKE. It is a 3% solution of HF, which is sufficient to etch glass. In fact, higher concentrations ARE used commercially and by experts to etch glass. Does it work on rust stains? Absolutely. CAN IT BURN through your skin, flesh, AND bone if you get it on you for an extended period of time? YES, IT CAN. Can it dissolve your esophagus and lung tissue if you accidentally break the bottle and inhale a large amount? YES, IT CAN. DO NOT USE WITHOUT GLOVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! USE ONLY IN EXTREMELY WELL-VENTILATED AREAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It was my failure to not look more deeply into the reviews and find the active ingredient before my purchase. Upon receiving the bottle and reading the fine print, I was extremely surprised by two observations: the presence of the aforementioned active ingredient and the fact that the bottle was NOT appropriately cushioned (there was a sad, deflated air bag inside). There was nothing to really protect the bottle from punctures or leaks in a secondary container (yes, the bottle itself seems sturdy, but I have ordered lotions and soaps that busted during shipment...this could have easily experienced something similar).Having said all that, again, this stuff works on rust. The curiosity inside me could not resist and I used it to spot treat one rust spot on a shirt. The rust disappears within minutes as described by others. It looks like magic, but it’s science. Some reviewers mentioned that it didn’t work for them...well, they probably weren’t dealing with rust.But seriously, I would not buy this again, even though it did work on my shirt’s rust spot. If I could turn back time and tell myself not to buy it, I would. Now I have to find a neighboring lab to properly and safely dispose of it.
I had my eye on another 1905a on eBay, and so I loaded up my trust Gixen, good old reliable sniper tool that it is, with what I thought to be a slightly OTT valuation for what appeared to a dead meter, got this one in the bag thought I. How wrong could I be, massively wrong as it turned out, almost double what I valued it at, it sold for £69.99 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thurlby-1905a-Intelligent-Digital-Multimeter-SPARES-REPAIR-/114755468784?nma=true&si=Ws0maXnZa80JKEX1Mg86iNxdPaU%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557Holy Shit balls does not even begin to cover it, makes we wonder what could my fully functioning 1905a and in a good condition case could fetch?
