Glances awkwardly at the flight reviewer next to me, who’s busy complaining about everything and holding it up to an unfair standard because he normally only flies in Business class

The lady here probably mixed two or more cleaning products together, at least one of which contains chlorine. As the chemical reaction takes place, it gives off large amounts of heat, causing the mix to boil over and spill out of the container. When she picked it up and put it back down, the shock from the container being shaken, then hitting the ground caused it to expel chlorine gas in that white mist. Thus, in addition to being splattered with some of the chemicals, she also inhaled a lung full of chlorine, which for pretty obvious reasons is something you don’t want inside your body - chlorine was used as a toxic gas in WWI because it can inflict terrible burns to the lungs when inhaled.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think you can also see the chlorine beginning to come out of the container just before she picks it up - pure chlorine in gas form is light green, and you can see the opening of the container turning that colour as she goes to pick it up, so she probably inhaled more just before it sputtered in her face as well.

EDIT: I've been reminded by some of the replies to this that the chemical produced by this reaction is actually a chloramine rather than elemental chlorine (assuming bleach and ammonia are the reagents) - I wasn't sure if this was the case given the visible green colour of the fumes, but this is the more likely product being made from the reaction seen here.

Nope - this was on Wednesday. I did consider going again yesterday when the airport was closed to see how many aircraft were at the airport's remote stands, but I decided against it as the traffic was horrible - a lot of people didn't get the memo that no flights were operating and still tried to force their way in, which clogged up the motorways nearby quite a bit.

Make sure to get your Luigi board from a certified witch or vegan - failing that, a Quiche board will suffice, but Ojo boards, Weggy boards and Wa Weg boards may produce unintended results.

Sounds good - I’ll definitely give this a try next time I’m in the area :)

Apologies for the angles on these not being so great - in G-ZBKI's case, this is about as far as I could get down the street before I started to notice that the area was becoming increasingly more locked down, and I didn't want to get a meeting with the British Transport Police!

If you're ever near Hatton Cross tube station, I recommend going to the roundabout and taking a look down some of the streets that branch off from there - you can get a pretty good look at BA's widebodies as they tend to be parked up around this area of Heathrow when not in use.

Assuming it is in fact, all there, I want to get a look at the stash of 1933 Double Eagles that are kept there for safe keeping! I got the chance to see one of these elusive coins in person when I went to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History last year, but knowing that Fort Knox is where the ten examples that surfaced about a decade ago are based, I'd be interested in seeing how they're stored and what measures the facility uses to look after them and any other numismatic treasures in their custody. It could be a useful learning experience for maintaining my own little collection :)

That's a lovely quarter eagle! I picked up one of my own - a 1902-P - for my pre-1933 set that I've started working on building a few weeks ago, just before gold prices started shooting up again. Next on my list is the $5 :)

I managed to fulfil a long term goal of mine last year when I visited the USA for the first time and went straight to the National Air And Space Museum in DC, as well as the larger museum just outside the city - So much cool stuff to see! My favourite moment of all was being able to stand next to Space Shuttle Discovery and see it up close, since I grew up watching the shuttle launches on TV and reading about them in my favourite fact books :D Felt like a quest in my life had been completed!

These guys are the Uniformed Division of the Secret Service - they mainly patrol the National Mall and its adjacent areas, as well as some foreign diplomatic missions in DC. They've even got a fleet of marked vehicles, such as this Ford Explorer I photographed during my trip to DC last year.

I just wish people would let others collect what they want and have fun while doing so. I’m not really interested in Goldbacks because as a UK collector, I can’t justify the premiums (sovereigns and eagles are more my thing), but I can understand why they’re popular. At the very least, the designs are pretty cool, and the politics behind them is a rather fun thing to read about.

I’m a mix of 2, 3 & 4. I definitely collect gold and silver (and recently started with platinum too) to store my money in something that can appreciate over time, but I’m all about collecting for the history of the pieces, as well as for the fact that it’s fun!

Get them authenticated, but I'd say to hang on to them too, if you can afford it - they're in pretty great shape!

In the UK, you get most of the above, plus: - Random Dominos voucher book you hang on to because you think you’ll use it but never do - Local magazine or newsletter, usually related to the nearest church or school - A menu for the local Chinese takeaway (actually very useful) - Endless ads for the nearest convenience store or newsagents

Depending on where the film/series is set and at which time in the history of modern humans as a species, having the cast living in a forest isn't too unrealistic. For example, during the Paleolithic, much of Northern Europe was made up of a mixture of plains and dense deciduous woodlands, which were ideal landscapes for hunter-gatherers to explore in search of food and shelter.

I’ve been eager to see how this turned out after seeing the first post about this find - congrats on the grade! I wish I could be this lucky with my pocket change.

Not a bad start at all! Reminds me of how my collection was when I first started. It only gets bigger and bigger from here on out :)

“I agree!” “NO! DEFEND THE D POINT!” “I refuse!”

If you saw this earlier and wondered why I reuploaded it, it's because I realised shortly after people began commenting that I forgot to mention a few really prominent things about the game that would be weird to leave out.

I know I’m super late to the party, but this was the hotel I stayed at when I visited DC for my first ever trip to the USA last year, and I had a great experience - it’s in a very convenient position for stuff like visiting the museums and monuments, and the mall is literally just five minutes away on foot. The staff were also very friendly, and the room itself was well looked after. The only downside is that from the third floor up, the WiFi was really spotty, so I reckon they could do with some additional hotspots or range extenders.
