He has the technology.

This is fucking brilliant. Jesus. An Optimus Prime 30th Anniversary Set says that Chris has spent well over $3,000 since the fire on Lego alone. Just Lego. This doesn't include the grand or so on video game stuff. Cuz, you know; his mom totally needs it and he was ONLY going to spend 250 from the Sonichu drawing's 1k non-profit on Lego (the rest to debt). How is he getting the money right now? Chris has already said Barb's holding the money right now in his Facebook rants earlier in Feb. It's gotta be the credit cards. It has to be. Which means Chris now has an additional 3k+ in credit card debt. I would buy that stupid fucking picture for 1k just to get a hold of all of Chris's credit card records. I really would.
The neatly folded Lego boxes have me wondering. Is Barb ordering Chris not to throw out anything he buys because she "needs it", or is he just automatically saving the boxes because it's what Barb taught him to do?
Yeah, chris would rather replace everything he had, rather than just buy only a few things and horde the money instead.It's been said before, but for many, having their house burned down would typically be a reality check. It'd be a time to really weigh what is important in life, concentrate on that and rebuild from the wreckage.
Chris takes that "rebuild" sentiment to mean buy more Legos to rebuild his deluded high school fantasy. Glad to see all that money going to a good use.
As I was uploading these I couldn't help but notice.... a few people have mentioned that when LEGO melt, they release a toxic gas and chemical onto the Lego themselves. As you can clearly see, Chris is handling burnt Lego and he has some black dye/tar/dirt/soot combo all over his hands.
I did a quick search on this. According to Wikipedia, they're made of "acrylonitrile butadiene styrene," or ABS. It also specifically mentions what happens when it's burned:
"ABS is flammable when it is exposed to high temperatures, such as a wood fire. It will melt then boil, at which point the vapors burst into intense, hot flames. Since pure ABS contains no halogens, its combustion does not typically produce any persistent organic pollutants, and the most toxic products of its combustion or pyrolysis are carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide."
Well we all know carbon monoxide isn't good, and I don't like the sound of hydrogen cyanide. Let's look that up, too!
"Hydrogen cyanide (HCN), sometimes called prussic acid, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula HCN. It is a colorless, extremely poisonous liquid that boils slightly above room temperature, at 25.6 °C (78.1 °F). ... A hydrogen cyanide concentration of 300 mg/m3 in air will kill a human within 10–60 minutes. ... Hydrogen cyanide is commonly listed amongst chemical warfare agents known as blood agents. ... Hydrogen cyanide gas in air is explosive at concentrations over 5.6%. This is far above its toxicity level."
Blood agents, you say?
"A blood agent is a toxic chemical agent that affects the body by being absorbed into the blood. Blood agents are fast-acting, potentially lethal poisons that typically manifest at room temperature as volatile colorless gases with a faint odor. They are either cyanide- or arsenic-based. ... Blood agents work through inhalation or ingestion. As chemical weapons, blood agents are typically disseminated as aerosols and take effect through inhalation. Due to their volatility, they are more toxic in confined areas than in open areas."
So let's get this straight: When 14BLC burned down, it burned the lego hoard enough to cause significant damage. When the ABS in the legos burned, it created highly flammable vapors (which likely increased the intensity of said fire) and produced two known highly toxic chemicals, both airborne and one possibly liquid. Both of these chemicals are extremely dangerous in tight, confined spaces. The liquid chemical, if it makes its way to the blood stream, is also incredibly toxic.
Normally I would say that there wouldn't be a high enough concentration of these chemicals to have done Chris any real harm, but considering the sheer volume of legos he had at the time of the fire, I honestly don't know if he inhaled a bunch of poison while trying to grab things on his way out. Furthermore, I didn't see anything indicating how long the liquid chem stays potent and whether or not its residue retains its toxicity. It could very well be possible that all that black crap on his legos (which we've seen all over his hands) still has poison in it, and if it's been on his skin and migrated to his mouth (which it likely has just via touching his face), he could actually be continuing to poison himself post-fire just due to not throwing shit away.

Then again he's turned away all advice. All offers of help. He's convinced he's the smartest person on Earth. Fuck him.

Carbon monoxide is a gas, and hydrogen cyanide would have boiled off in the fire. As gasses, they can dissolve in water, but they don't exist as solids except at very, very cold temps. They oxidize in the air into carbon dioxide, cyanic acid, and ammonia, all of which would boil away at room temp without water to dissolve into. The black stuff on the Legos is just soot. there's nothing super toxic in it. It's nasty, but probably not fatal.
So Chris isn't going to die from Lego poisoning. He's going to die from a combination of heart disease, diabetes, and the crabs he caught from the last hooker he visited. Just like we've always expected him to...
hmmm can't find it; but I think it was more a Facebook message. It was during that time when he was emailing his "galpalz" that he (and his mom) were VERY DISAPPOINT about the fact that only one of them had sent him anything after the fire. He had expected his closest galpalz to drop everything and come spend quality time and money on him after the horrors of a house fire.Can you direct me to that post about Barb?
