Don't use that term, man. It's derogatory... you now use the term "intellectual disability." I agree, that person appears to have an intellectual disability.

Definition of RETARDED, Merriam-Webster
Slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress.


Sounds like a perfectly valid description to me. Maybe not PC but PC is BS.

Yep. He is definitely Retarded.

This thread got me to look up carbon dioxide fire extinguishers and why they don't cover class A fires when class A fires seem to be the simplest... We don't have an extinguisher but I'd only be interested in a CO2 one to avoid a mess -- may as well let it burn if I have to clean up powder/foam?

Did you think about Halon, which leaves no residue and is safe for electronics?

Halon is a liquefied, compressed gas that stops the spread of fire by chemically disrupting combustion. Halon 1211 (a liquid streaming agent) and Halon 1301 (a gaseous flooding agent) leave no residue and are remarkably safe for human exposure. Halon is rated for class "B" (flammable liquids) and "C" (electrical fires), but it is also effective on class "A" (common combustibles) fires. Halon 1211 and Halon 1301 are low-toxicity, chemically stable compounds that, as long as they remain contained in cylinders, are easily recyclable.

Halon fuxxorz the environment or something... and in Terminator 2, they had to wear masks until the halon gas cleared. Can't be good for people -- movies are always right.

Halon displaces oxygen which is good for putting out fires but bad if you need to breathe.

A regular ABC type would be just fine in this case -- if he had one and knew where it was.

Has the truth of what the final outcome come out yet? Did it burn his house/apartment down? Did any get hurt/killed?

I didn't make the rules either. Neither does Google.

Retarded is a perfectly valid word.

Halon is a good fire ext. Your use of the word fuxxorz is offensive. Stop using it. It makes you appear retarded.

Halon: Halon 1211 (a liquid streaming agent) and Halon 1301 (a gaseous flooding agent) leave no residue and are remarkably safe for human exposure.

Yes it does displace oxygen... Just like CO2.

I worked in a place that had a halon system. Gives about 30 second warning before it goes off. I've thought of setting a DIY version of one for my server room, but with CO2 tanks (cheaper). Would also double as an anti theft system. :biggrin:
