Hell yeah!

They used vinegar. And the peroxide is probably 3% max. Okay plan, poor execution. This will do nothing.
Holy shit, did they finally get the message that stopping regular people from going about their day just makes everyone hate them?
What a spectacularly useless organisation.
dousing them with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid, salt, and acrylic paint
Is there a civil engineer here who would know what degree of damage will this cause?
Pretty minor. If they picked up the whole data center and soaked it in a large jug of 10% acetic acid for about nine months, the concrete would lose about 20% of its strength.
Not sure about the civil engineering side, but I assume there's enough safety factor in your average construction to account for 20% strength loss.
That safety margin is supposed to last many years, though. If it's removed before the building is even constructed, it might have to be re-poured.
Yeah, but we're talking about literally soaking the entire building in concentrated vinegar for months, not throwing a water balloon of regular vinegar at it. This particular case probably didn't do anything
Not an engineer but vinegar (ascetic acid) at full strength applied early enough during curing could be a problem. If it's the watered down stuff for home use and the concrete was already partially cured it wouldn't do almost anything.
Would it have made more sense for them to claim it was a secret mixture of stuff that destroys concrete? If the engineers were obligated to check the structure because they didn’t know what was sprayed on it, that would have delayed construction, even if the liquid was pretty benign.
It's insane we can't stop them from being built, but the next best thing is treating it like full on mob style international crime when we start getting sane governments back.
Charge everyone who voted for this anywhere, and pressure them to plea out to snitch on who bribed them.
At every level of the ring, you only need a small.percent to flip. Everyone else gets max sentences.
A steady unending march up the chain and it won't take long before people are trying to get a deal before investigators even know their name. They'll go full on crabs in abu ket and desperate to turn state witness.
Just because Biden sat on his hands doesn't mean the strategy doesn't work if someone actually tries
