Sorry. My bad. Some how "working on wife's" stuck in my brain as "wife's work."

Still... OUCH!!!

? This is her personal/my laptop. I bought it for her

OUCH!!!

I learned a long time ago that I don't touch someone else's work computer. They have their own IT departments for that. Let them take the hit.

Hi just because NVME drives nowadays don't require as much cooling that doesn't mean they are meant to run with zero airflow.

Generally like cpus they will try to keep themselves under a certain temperature and clock themselves down to work less when approaching said thermal loads. Also high thermals kill the life of the drive in terms of read / writes it will perform.

Here's a good link I found testing these concepts! Hope this helps!

NVNE Heat Tests

I'm a computer nerd and I cannot follow this tale.

I’m EU so I don’t give a shit she voted for.

I voted for Forsen.

Yes, but she didn't vote for trump...

what language is this

Sounds like something else was wrong than just a nvme being a little warm. Those can run very hot without any issue and chances are anything you're doing on them will be very unlikely to make them get very warm for any extended period of time. There's a reason why they're sold without heatsinks on generally.

That was more or less my point. The entire act of making thermite is intentional. People who mix bleach with another chemical in an attempt to clean something at home are doing it out of ignorance. There's a major difference.

Supersoaker?

Chloramine gas, actually.

you can correct your post again, as Ammonia and Bleach makes chloramine, not chlorine. HCl and Bleach makes Chlorine. But i guess you were right and basic chemistry isn't common knowledge.

He actually made chloramine gas - I know, I made the same mistake he did, except I did it in a closed bathroom and wound up in the hospital over it.

Count yourself (and him) lucky!

Generally speaking, you would dilute the bleach with water - which would prevent a larger reaction like that. Diluting bleach when soaking something would be more of the common sense thing rather than the chlorine gas part.

But yeah, I think OP clearly realised it was somewhat of a mess up on their part by assuming he knew how to use it - hence posting in TIFU.

What 15 year old doesn’t do this with an ignition source in his hand?

I will out myself and say I thought this was common knowledge, but only because I was stressed the importance of the harms of cat urine. I also owned cats.

Don't let him sprinkle a salad wit low- level nuclear waste.

Don't let him rinse the dishes with phosphoric acid

Just don't let him mix conc nitric acid with glycerine. Seriously unsafe.

My school district never gave me a chemistry class during my K-12 years, only started getting into chemistry through my biology degree. It’s not common knowledge at all, unfortunately

Toilet bowl cleaner (the works) has HCl and it doesn't react with ammonia like hypochlorite

You can also use windex, which already has ammonia.

Or vinegar, acetic acid

Even alcohol can help with the waxy sticky compounds in the urine

You told him to do it, but you didn't say to make a dilution or already have a dilution on hand, perhaps that's on you, Basic Chemistry.

Great for sanitizing, not the best cleaner though.

My family sometimes uses bleach to clean and we learned very quickly not to mix it with anything. I once convinced my sister to mix it with vinegar and after expressing skepticism she finally did it. Bad idea, we had to open all the windows but it sure did leave the floors clean.

Vinegar usually works fine and can be a great replacement for bleach.

Didn’t you tell him to use bleach?
