Not exactly a powder but Zyklon B was liquid hydrocyanic acid (HCN) in a porous granulated Material https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zyklon_B#/media/Datei%3ACyklonb.JPG
It did not need to be activated, however in winter gas Chambers needed to be heated to ensure the acid would go into its gaseous state fast enough.
First: Zyklon B was mainly used in Auschwitz, many other camps did use CO or engine exhaust gases.
Nazi death camps used shower heads to introduce a gas into the gas chambers
No, the showers were simply fake. Zyklon B was inserted from above into metal pipes so it would fall down into the gas chamber. You can see an animation here: https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/terra-x/die-gaskammern-in-auschwitz-birkenau-creative-commons-100.html
and likely relatively expensive
It was widely used for killing insects for example on ships, cooling houses, mills or other in other storage facilities. In fact the overwhelming part of Zyklon B going to concentration camps was indeed used to kill fleas or lice and not for killing humans. The price was 4.55 RM in 1943 per kg which is roughly the same in Euros today.
It also meant that the gas chambers had to be aerated for a number of minutes
30 to 40 minutes
Why didn’t they simply use CO2
Zyklon B was again a mass product with the corresponding production capacities already there and not expensive. Also it is estimated that around 4kg of Zyklon B are able to kill 1000 people. It is also fast acting and thereby simply very effective in that sense. Plus it was also simple to transport and store as it came on a carrier material, so pressure gas bottles were not necessary but simple metal containers were used.
Just fyi: you can simply choose the order of the back and apps buttons. They are not inverted
Its just super unattractive to join. If I am thinking about joining a platform I want to know if there is content that is interesting to me. Now if I go to https://join-lemmy.org/ what do I see? It greets me with explanations of the Licensing, tells me all the programming languages and frameworks, shows me pictures of code and something about mod tools and of course immediately offers me to run my own server. None of that is even remotely interesting to me even now that I am a registered user. Not to mention that the design is questionable. Then it says “Join a server”. I am not here to join a server, I am here to join a platform. And if I click on that I am met with about 50 different instances, of which I have no idea what to choose and what implications my choice has.
The whole federation thing, the design, everything is just unintuitive and unattractive to join.
You don’t wash anything away and why would you crack the shell? Just boil the egg. It’s good for about two weeks at room temperature according to every source I can find. Thats also what it says on the preboiled Easter eggs.
Whats the problem? Even fresh, unboiled eggs are good for more than two weeks unrefrigerated.
Some boiled eggs are easy
Maybe I’m crazy, but isnt just learning how to drive an option? Especially automatic is really not that hard.
Definitely Material Design, it just looks so much more modern, clean, lightweight and consistent than GNOME. For me it’s one of the big drawbacks of using Linux.
Not a series but Death of Stalin is a super funny movie that is actually closer to reality than one might think.
