  • You’re looking at spending USD $2500 which is quite a lot.

    Building your own is a much better option and you can make a VERY good PC for that budget. I understand though that it’s not easy to research this stuff if you are not familiar. Maybe if your son likes gaming offer to let him research and pick his own parts and you will pay for it? It will also make it feel like it’s truly his own.

    From my understanding no, not elemental mercury. Other forms can be much worse though. The main danger with metallic, elemental mercury is inhaling mercury vapor, and even that would be incredibly hard to die from. (Though can have other effects at lower levels)

    However the broken thermometer could introduce open wounds which could do something I’m not sure.

    Here’s a guy swishing some around his mouth, he explains more about how the body generally can’t absorb elemental mercury. Not through skin or mucus membranes. https://youtu.be/DNpdMz0Cfv0

    He’s been tested and has not shown to have unusually high levels of mercury in his blood.

    lmao what

    With that logic Dems don’t work cause they lost this once, and so should never be voted for again.

    But hey guess what I got something else to vote for anyway! And we can maybe not even call it a protest vote and just call it a… vote.
