everyone who goes off on the benefits of "alkaline" food/water does not know what "alkaline" means.

Why A Dead Alkaline Battery Bounces! has been added as a related post - related requested by Zawash on that post.

Cannabis is the closest thing I've seen to a silver bullet "cure" type thingy. But pretty much every edible plant (sans chemical agents) is going to combat cancer in one way or another. Going full raw vegan is a good start. Your body's alkalinity will also need to stay above 7.0. This will happen by itself with a good diet. Then there's your thought life, your stress levels, and on and on.

IIRC

Alkaline batteries are not solid inside.
They're like a liquidy gel sort of thing when at full power.
As they discharge the inside gets rigid.

... But don't take my word for it.

Chyme (from Greek "χυμός" - khymos, "juice"[1][2]) is the semifluid mass of partly digested food expelled by the stomach into the duodenum. In other words, chyme is partially-digested food.[3]

Also known as chymus, it is the liquid substance found in the stomach before passing through the pyloric valve and entering the duodenum. It results from the mechanical and chemical breakdown of a bolus and consists of partially digested food, water, hydrochloric acid, and various digestive enzymes. Chyme slowly passes through the pyloric sphincter and into the duodenum, where the extraction of nutrients begins. Depending on the quantity and contents of the meal, the stomach will digest the food into chyme anywhere between 40 minutes and a few hours.

With a pH of around 2, chyme emerging from the stomach is very acidic. To raise its pH, the duodenum secretes a hormone, cholecystokinin (CCK), which causes the gall bladder to contract, releasing alkaline bile into the duodenum. The duodenum also produces the hormone secretin to stimulate the pancreatic secretion of large amounts of sodium bicarbonate, which raises the chyme's pH to 7 before it reaches the jejunum. As it is protected by a thick layer of mucus and utilizes the neutralizing actions of the sodium bicarbonate and bile, the duodenum is not as sensitive to highly acidic chyme as the rest of the small intestine.

At a pH of 7, the enzymes that were present from the stomach are no longer active. This then leads into the further breakdown of the nutrients still present by anaerobic bacteria which at the same time help to package the remains. These bacteria also help synthesize vitamin B and vitamin K.


****Ulcers are R-Tards

V.B. Nimble, V.B. Quick

V.B. Wigglesworth wakes at noon,
Washes, shaves and very soon
Is at the lab; he reads his mail,
Swings a tadpole by the tail,
Undoes his coat, removes his hat,

Dips a spider in a vat
Of alkaline, phones the press,
Tells them he is F.R.S.,
Subdivides six protocells,
Kills a rat by ringing bells,

Writes a treatise, edits two
Symposia on "Will man do?,"
Gives a lecture, audits three,
Has the sperm club in for tea,
Pensions off an ageing spore,

Cracks a test tube, takes some pure
Science and applies it, finds,
His hat, adjusts it, pulls the blinds,
Instructs the jellyfish to spawn,
And, by one o'clock, is gone.

sweeeeeeeeeeet...now I can post my series on alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metals.

is this definitely a bag of cement?


>> ^StringerBell:
Cement or pure plaster would be pretty bad for the eyes.
Firstly, cement when wet is highly alkaline (~pH 13) which would with sweaty skin could cause 1st, 2nd and even 3rd degree burns depending on exposure.
Forget about the eyes, and mucous membranes.
Exposure to airborne dust may cause immediate or delayed irritation of the eyes. Depending on the level of exposure, effects may range from redness to chemical burns and blindness.

Also, the chemical reaction when plaster mixes with water is exothermic. Which could also lead to burning.

Right, I think i'll scrub plasterer off the potential jobs list.

“It looked like a classic controlled demolition, said Mike Taylor of the National Association of Demolitions Contractors in Doylestown, Pa.

“If there’s any good thing about this it’ that the towers tended not to weaken to one side, “said Taylor. “They could have tipped onto the other buildings…”
The collapse of the WTC Towers mirrored the strategy use by demolitions experts. In controlled demolitions, explosives are placed not just on the lowest three floors but on several consecutive floors..the explosions at the higher floors enable the collapse to gain downward momentum as gravity pulls the full weight of unsupported higher floors down into lower floors ion a snowballing effect.
It cascaded down like an implosion” Says Taylor.

Analysis of dust samples
heavy Metals
Murcury
Asbestos
the cocktail was extremely alkaline +/-15)


The government (EPA) assured no health risks-(falsehoods, lies)
The NIST ruled out controlled demo as a possibility and DID NOT INVESTIGAT based on this premise....

7 yrs later, and nobody gives a fiddlers fuck enough to re-open the case and leave it to public scrutiny??? Even if we could, too late to prove anything based on evidence, which has all nut been conveniently destroyed.

People are still dying from the toxins they breathed in that day.

returned to this post to see hwo chime in-
As always, JAPR showing the ass.....

I bought a "Buddy L" Alkaline battery recharger in the early 90's or late 80's. It worked great... the recharged alkalines were way better than the NiCd's of the day... I always wondered why I never saw one of these again... I never had any batteries explode.
Now, with NiMH Li I only use Alkalines for long trips where the batteries have to keep their charge for weeks or months.

Even if there were a bunch of loose AA batteries inside, they'd be the el cheapo "heavy duty" (like it says on the outside of the battery in the video) rather than alkaline.

my dad has the helicopter launching car and the missile launching car. he made a train table when i was a kid and my brother and i would shoot the missiles at each other. ah yes, i can still smell that mechanical alkaline train smell.

In an ideal world, that technically would work, though you'd need to connect the ends with a wire or some sort of conductor, thus completing the circuit. However, alkaline batteries won't charge like this because attempting to reverse the chemical process that gives them their charge in the first place will produce gas bubbles, causing the battery to explode. It's the same principle as putting non-rechargeable batteries into a battery charger. (So technically, this idea should work with rechargeable batteries, or even a dead rechargeable battery and a charged non-rechargeable battery.)
