Little Johnny is no more

For what he thought was H2O

Was H2SO4

edit: I love markdown, but I hate how it handles line breaks.

Add 2 spaces at the end of your line then enter to the line below for a normal next line

You can also just put a \ at the end of a line
Then continue on below
But I think I like your method better tbh

I wondered whether escaping would work, but not enough to test it.

I actually like the escaping method better because

  • My time spent with git has resulted in me seeing lots of editors argue about whether whitespace at the end of a line is acceptable, but I prefer to do without
  • I post almost exclusively from my mobile device, so two spaces create a full stop where I don't want one
  • I'm accustomed to escaping newlines from my shell scripting experience, so it looks right to me
  • It reminds me of xkcd, which I have frequently enjoyed

Regardless of which method any of us use, thank you for the information!

The opposite. They're more likely to think that the drink of unknown provenance that they find in front of them might be sulphuric acid, and so they avoid drinking it, even if it was actually a perfectly safe beverage.

Spend 8 to 10 hours a day for 4 to 6 days a week doing nothing but titrations, earning maybe $20 an hour, with no realistic opportunities for career advancement, for which you had to qualify by getting a 4 year degree and going 60k into debt, and you may consider it.

Not something I've done, but I've known a fair bit of Chem and OChem majors.

sorry. I think another commentor had a good idea with pee. Thats a complex mixture but I think using urea CO(NH2)2 would have been a good substitute. likely most folks whould have to look it up but I think it would be worth it.
