To be fair, it's mostly water, anyway. Tongue

Alkaline will dissolve you just as well.

That's why I don't mess with any alkalines with a pH greater than 7.

An Alkaline with a PH of anything up to about 10 (or an acid with PH down to about 4) wouldn't harm you at all in small amounts, in fact you come into contact with those kind of PHs every single day in your food, toothpaste and soaps.

It's only the extreme PHs that dissolve (at different speeds depending on how extreme), while the less extreme ones would just irritate.

Anyway what a grizzly story, vile.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Agreed, it is pretty grisly. But I was just making a point with this post about having some sense about what one is doing when deliberately disobeying signage. The guy had to know the danger (I would hope), and when he fell in, died quickly (I really would hope).

Probably helpful to GF she recorded the event to allay suspicion she pushed him in . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Oh my gosh, this is awful!  Sad

So sad for his family, too. What a devastating way to lose your loved one.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Having worked a few years at a small local nature preserve here (with plenty of visitor restrictions due to our mission), I can say from personal experience that there are an awful lot of special snowflakes who think the rules are for others but not themselves. I had a guy one time wading into Hamilton Creek for a better photo after I'd already reminded him to stay on the trail. I evicted him ... but not before pointing out three water moccasins lurking within 40' of his spot. He was a snakebite waiting to happen.

People disregard rules all the time because "it'll never happen to me" ... until, as in this case, it does.
