Elon does not care about laws and it's been shown over and over that he doesn't have to.
He obviously does, he's not storing it anymore after spilling it out now is he?
How is lye nonhazardous? Can't it cause serious chemical burns? Maybe it's just in low enough concentration that that's not a concern.
You don't want concentrated lye, but diluted lye is safe enough to make soap. My question, and I'm not the only one asking in this thread, is- is a mixture of borax and lye a good coolant for a supercomputer?
I guess you could argue that the green is so they would recognize a coolant leak...
The lye concentration used to make soap is rather nasty if it gets on your skin and you don't deal with it immediately. Source: I've made a lot of soap from scratch.
Borax is used for flushing large coolant systems. The green dye is probably to find leaks or identify when the flush has cleared out any residual coolant.
Ah, that makes more sense then.
But lye as well?
Edit: never mind, that discussion says also lye.
They use this mixture at my work as well. Flushing out large sub freezing cooling systems. We don't dump it out on the street though.
Okay, now I have more "why" questions.
Water cooling for a set of computers. Additives prevent bacteria growth.
