Noooo!

Bad idea lit. You should NEVER mix chlorates and sulfur in a composition. The residual acid if its not carefully neutralized with carbonate/bicarb, or if it gets moist, generation of fresh acidic species, can set chlorates off, by production of the unstable, and generally nasty chlorine dioxide.

Perchlorates are less sensitive to this, but still, its a mixture to be careful of. I'd avoid sulfur/chlorate comps like the plague though, lest it go up in your face.

IIRC ammonium chlorate is particularly iffy when it comes to this.

My roommate had a detached retina. They managed to reattach it but he' s going to spend the next few weeks in bed, moving as little as possible.

If you must play with fire like that, with chlorate/sulfur compositions, first at least wash the sulfur with a saturated bicarbonate or carbonate solution (bearing in mind of course, that the sodium ion tends  to overwhelm flame colors with its own spectra in the visual range, so perhaps potassium carbonate would be a better choice), and add a little carbonate into the final mix, to mop up residual acid traces from the sulfur, like one would with for instance, nitrocellulose, nitroglycerine, etc. where the classic conc. H2SO4/HNO3 mixed nitrating agent has been used.

They hadn't thought about the internet back then. They had another idea, namely that every city should have a common computernet. A global computernet was simply unimaginable then.

I'm at my g'friend's house using her computer.  While searching for this place I came across this -

Intensitysquared.com is ranked 288,020 in the world (among the 30 million domains). This site is relatively popular among users in the United States. It gets 100% from United States. This site is estimated worth $2,454USD. This site has a low Pagerank(1/10). It has 38 backlinks. It's good for seo website. Intensitysquared.com has 9% seo score.

Now we know that odeon's worth at leas $2,400.

My roommate had a detached retina. They managed to reattach it but he' s going to spend the next few weeks in bed, moving as little as possible.

My ex had one while he was on a trip to California.  They used some sort of bubble to put his detached retina back into place and he had to lie on his side or at least keep his head sideways so it would be in the right position.  He also couldn't fly home and wound up spending weeks in California.
