Too damn hot. And there is a slight, but annoyingly persistent odor of bromine floating about.

Maybe it's your upper lip.  :zoinks:

Anyone unfortunate enough to get Br2 on their face would know about it, and it wouldn't be pleasant. Probably leave them with some deep and ugly scarring for the rest of their life. Its pretty corrosive stuff, and well known to cause severe burns if it contacts flesh. It must be coming from the still thats set up, as I've got a flask full of bromine awaiting distillation. Eats stainless steel, eats plastics (with the exception of teflon and other highly resistant fluoropolymers), eats wood, eats people too given half a chance.

I know of a fellow chemist who got it on her, and she ended up in hospital IIRC. Certainly got very badly burnt by it. Dead now though, sadly :( (wasn't the bromine exposure that killed her, she took her own life.  Pretty cut up about it still, I rather..well we kinda liked each other, sweet girl, although too far away from here to get together with her, since she lived in albania. Ended up doing me this charcoal sketch of the two of us  together,  just days before she died), but it did badly injure her.

Going to plant a memorial garden for her.

Excrutiating pain.
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

That was just a joke, but to be fair it's a much funnier joke when people say they smell shit.  :dunno:

Must just be me. I don't really think 'funny' when incendiary poison gases are the subject. I've too much instinct to make my legs do the work and think about it later. (having bromine monochloride hanging about..its not funny, its the sort of thing that'll make you shit yourself and run for your life, if you value it.

About as toxic as phosgene, and with the added tendency towards setting things on fire on contact.

Sore. Yesterday i had a 60-minute period of time where...out of nowhere I became super dizzy and nauseous like I was going to throw up. Then it turned into both ends, bit only one expelled material. No issues before and no issues after. Could be from my Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome for which I see the surgeon on for Thursday or could've been something unexplainable.

Join the club. Although I did manage to stomp on the pukefest, using cyclizine and ondansetron, the latter being an antinauseant I have somehow managed to get a script for, for my stomach problems, I say somehow, because its usually reserved for cancer patients on the nastiest kinds of chemo, because it is horrifically overexpensive.

Unjustifiably so, IMO, because I've seen ondansetron on sale in the catalogs of chemical companies for far cheaper than the medical establishment gets it. Costs something like £80 something for a few tablets, whilst if it were bought as a fine chemical, that would get someone grams, rather than about 70-100mg, so its obviously not due to synthetic pathways being demanding and arduous, just fucked up big pharma inflation.

I'll say one thing though, it WORKS, its damn reliable, and especially with cyclizine, a sedating antihistamine and extraordinarily effective anti-vomiting and antinauseant agent, that alone has been effective enough to stop me mid-run-to-bog, going from feeling half dead to bang to rights after..ahem..sticking it where the sun don't shine, in liquid form, (not much good swallowing pills when everything comes rocketing right back up again before it hits the bottom) or conversion to a more water soluble, injectable salt such as the lactate, from the poorly soluble HCl salt and used by IM, it works in seconds to minutes then.

Cooling off after a shopping trip in 102 degree heat index.  No A/C in the car.

^ Not very nice at all. Am thankful that even my old car has air conditioning.

Does yours need re-gassing or do you just not have it at all?

Pretty good. I don't want to go to bed.

I  cant sleep for overheating atm, just listening to music and reading an issue of 'hammer and bolter' warhammer 40k fic. And another, longer warhammer novel, this one based around the schemings of some dark eldar haemonculus covens and a bit of chaos thrown in for good measure.
