It's a strong oxidizer that decomposes quickly in the presence of the enzyme catalase.

She is holding an industrial strength bottle at 12% concentration. The stuff you buy in the store for disinfecting wounds is at only 3% concentration.

At very high concentrations, it's a rocket fuel.

is 12% considered a "very high" concentration?

11/5/2024 7:49:27 PM

No.

That would be over 70% and as high as 98%.

They called the NC Governor's race for Stein.

the reason why he lost is because he wasn't responsible enough to keep his skirt down

I knew (we all did) that Mark Robinson would get a ton of votes. It’s just how these things go. The margin Stein won by was obviously decisive. So it’s not like I was expecting a 80-20 type margin from Stein. That was never gonna happen.

But I guess we have an answer to how many people are gonna blindly vote R no matter what every single time in NC races. With the caveat that the number would probably be even higher if he were white.

Office consensus is that being black cost him since Trump has the same sort of history.

"Well how did he get Lt Gov then?"
"People just picked a name on the ballot. No one knows anything about Lt Gov candidates"

The 2020 ballot just has:
Mark Robinson (R)
Yvonne Lewis Holley (D)

I could be naive. I don’t think it’s just because he’s black, although I know that is a factor. His shit seemed even more blatantly controversial and/or disqualifying than some of Trump’s stuff. No need to compare whose baggage is worse though. Also, not everybody can pull off Trump’s shtick. Trump can get away with it because he’s a “successful” businessman and has a brand that people know. Robinson doesn’t have that at all. NC also just has a history of going D for Gov and that probably played a role.

I don’t think it’s at all because he is black. Trump gets away with it because it’s always who he’s been, and he’s been in the public view since the 80’s. Robinson came out of nowhere, then said some offensive things against women (hiking up their skirts) which had him 10 pts behind Stein. Then the CNN article came out, and it made things even worse. Only the staunchest folks who just denied themselves the truth were voting for him after that. Those and straight-ticket voters.

He was never going to win, he was a throwaway candidate because the NC Republicans thought they’d keep the supermajority and Stein wouldn’t matter.

this is definitely false. he needed Trump because he's black, but he just didn't have the level of brand recognition required to get away with saying and doing dumb shit. yes, him being black had influence on it as the black community at-large viewed him as "coonery incarnate", so he definitely lost votes there. I think he lost some white R votes due to not being a person who could get the upper-middle class white man access to elite perks and circles as governor. getting caught and the republican reaction just solidified his inability to operate properly in those circles. his brand then lost a tremendous amount of backing after the Trump-bump went radio silent on him, which made him worthless to anyone who wanted to get to Trump through him.

Trump can have that history, but he can also midas touch a mofo's income with a sentence, so he's given all the grace the world can bear.

tldr; him being black didn't help, but it didn't hurt him as much as being called out on TWW as "Mark Robinson the porn addict". gg tww

But not in a helpful way. Until 2016, I'm pretty sure 99% of Trump's constituents hated everything he represented: big city millionaire nepo-baby who hasn't labored a day in his life. How he turned that into "a man for the blue collar worker" boggles my mind.

11/6/2024 1:11:00 PM

no, he's a "businessman" running the country like a business to fix the economy. his schtick since the 80's is still in effect.

Thanks a lot, NBC!
