    Sand Won’t Save You This Time, which somehow isn’t in the official listing despite it being one of the better ones of “Things I Won’t Work With,” comes with an accompanying video of chlorine triflouride doing its thing and setting quite a few normally-not-flammable things on fire, back from the era of Youtube when Youtube was good.

      The video won’t show for me. Oh well. The dioxygen difluoride article was a hell of a read. I liked how free fluoride radicals are described as “free of their gentle and forgiving nature”.

      Super cool. I can’t imagine having to explain what happened to the lab manager after burning through the lab floor and a few feet of gravel and sand below lol
