dimethyl mercury vs metallic mercury.?..
Isnt that like comparing, oh, hexachloroplatinate and platinum?
or osmium oxide and osmium metal
I mean, I understand your post G, and I agree, (especially after watching him and the kingofrandom guy make a barometer... "lets just suck on this tube of mercury to pull the air out") but, yeah... ...I mean, dimethyl mercury and mercury are two beasts of far different nature
Should I just immediately dispose of the mercury switches I got in for my Arduino project?!?!
No, that is just ridiculous! I'm going to use them babies!
Afterall, sure the mercury could kill me
but, I could also get struck down by lightning or hit on the head by Thor's hammer before the mercury in those switches kills me. Especially if I am waiting on the switches to break, the mercury to ooze out, and then ionize (not the word I'm looking for there..) into dimethyl mercury just so it can come murder me and make me dumber er.
