Well, now you're contradicting yourself from earlier when you stated we were discussing Calcium Carbonate and Silicate.

The Calcium Carbonate degrades into Calcium Oxide. Calcium Oxide will form Calcium Hydroxide on the cured surface.

The only reliable way to seperate the Calcium from the oxidation afaik would be the introduction of Chlorine, so you're definitely not seeing the reverse happening regardless of how much carbon dioxide there is.

Only if it is uncoated iron rebar. There are also coated rebar, galvanized rebar, stainless steel rebar, or fiberglass rebar.

Iron is the most popular rebar among workers for its ability to be shaped by hand and easily cut, but it's lacking in longevity due to its chemical vulnerability.

Galvanized is also weak to chemical attacks but from Alkaline attacks.

Carbonation causes acidity and the traditional methods of creating concrete involves furnaces which introduce various forms of carbonation. The Calcium Carbonate once dissolved in water will start to form the Calcium Hydroxide layer on the surface, thats the alkaline layer, and deeper in the carbonation creates acidity.

In outpatient care it's not nearly as skewed from my experience, but at least you bring anecdotal evidence rather than nothing at all so thanks for contributing to the discussion.

I am a bit jadef against the previous commenter because he is a known slopper promoting these shitbots.

The concrete is actually highly acidic but the outer layer cures to become alkaline and the two layers together end up becoming water resistant, so by adding acid to the surface it can lose its water repellent capability and weaken faster.

If the concrete were sealed with a wax or an acrylic then Acetone would also be effective.

Not basically, that's exactly what it is.

Fun Fact, United Healthcare has been rolling out automated claim handleing and denial for a couple of years now, leading to increased denial rates, even after their CEO was murdered.

Thats such a stupid claim that others become more stupid just from reading it

It doesn't do any of those things comparably to a trained human being.

It is also a massive liability for privacy and HIPPA laws, among other more immediate harm it can cause by misdiagnosis or misinformation.

I want clinics who rolled this out to be prosecuted for negligence resulting in bodily harm.

They threw balloons over the fence to weaken concrete with Salt, Acetic Acid, Peroxide, and acrylic paint at some bare concrete and steel where a facility is going to be built.

I feel like the guy with the paint didn't understand the memo.

My comment explains what it is after explaining what it is not, in a single sentence.

I thought at first this was just describing how each generation is but its a bit more abstract than that: these are the kinds of memes they make.
