Yeah, year 12 are allowed to have the late starts. I turned up on the day of my free at 10 and the front office was just like *LOL NOPE*



I've been here since 2013, almost have a post a year! :cool2:
Maybe just go in late if there is no penalty for lateness?

You want deadliest?

Dimethyl Cadmium is the most deadly organometallic known to humanity.

And it's not like they weren't a deadly category of chemicals to begin with.

Dimethyl Cadmium will react violently with water, in sudden, jerky explosions.

If spilled, it will likely ignite, releasing toxic fumes of cadmium oxide.

If that doesn't happen, then it will quietly react with oxygen anyway, to form a fine crust of dimethyl cadmium peroxide, which is friction sensitive and highly combustible.

It also forms vapors quite easily.

If you inhale it or spill it onto yourself, it will enter your bloodstream, from there, it wreaks havoc on your body as the cadmium rips electrons off anything and everything in your body.

If you somehow, impossibly manage to survive that initial encounter, you will then, with extremely high probability, die of cancer.

And to finish it off, the legally accepted LD50 is 1 nanogram per litre of air.

Organic chemistry and a heavy metal ionic compound. You didn't even have to describe it for me to imagine the catastrophe

Definitely, Nailgun, Med needs the qualifications based on education but also the passion of an individual, he's just being a dumbass

LOL not even materialistic values, but if you don't have the confidence and passion in having people's health and lives under your responsibility, high ATAR means shit for Med LOL
