It’s a funny detail :D
butttttt americium-241 from smoke detectors are primarily alpha emitters, so the air, the sludge itself, and the camera lens would shield the camera’s sensors from being noticeably exposed :3
Personally, I think this looks great. I love the command palate and the display modes, and it checks the other boxes, for me at least.
Well do I have news for you
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_nuclear_fission_reactor
I have a few of these!
I’m not even sure it would show up on film either. But for CCD cameras (aka phone cameras and basically all modern cameras), 350 americium buttons buttons from a smoke detector in a wide “stew” that far away would produce nowhere near enough ionizing radiation to do that. On top of it, americium-241 is an alpha emitter, meaning that even if alpha particles reached the lens, the lens itself would block a good amount an alpha. This video gives a demo of a CCD without protection over it with americium and other various emitters :)
The demon core killed the dinos :(
Oh I know, I just have a few hundred grams of it since I like collecting elements, so I recast it into something funny when I’m bored
Opening phones and heating burritos :)
And melting gallium when I 3D print moulds to make some silly metal objects (probably not so smart next to so much aluminium extrusion)
I fully agree with it being yellow. By far, the most common isotope of uranium is uranium-238, which is indeed radioactive, but not dangerously radioactive. In this list, lead is listed as a yellow because it can give you heavy metal poisoning. In this scenario, the uranium would cause more damage to your body by damaging it as lead would (heavy metal poisoning affecting brain, kidneys, liver, etc) before the radiation would ever have an impact on your body.
This is super true. I occasionally visit a TRIGA reactor that was built decades ago, and a good chunk of the computers critical in infrastructure run comically old versions of windows since software used to operate the faculty was a custom job.
YouTube made some minor UI changes, which caused the current version of Return YouTube Dislike in the Mozilla Addons Store to not work. A fix has been submitted for review to Firefox and other browser stores, but that takes time and Mozilla has get to accept the new version. Adding the current version manually from their GitHub page does work just fine, if you don’t feel like waiting.

Nononono whyyyy is it emitting plutonium, the plutonium would be emitting radioactive particles D:
Also, it likely wouldn’t glow blue since there are no reflectors, so it wouldn’t reach criticality.
I love this one regardless :)
Can confirm I am not a russian troll ;)
That was so quick!
Like many others, I came from Reddit and was initially hesitant to try it out, but I love this place so much! It really feels like the “worse” parts of Reddit have been skimmed off, and that definitely shows with how nice people seem here! Thank you so much!
This is awesome! I would be the decaf person because I really like espresso for the taste, but I’ve never gotten any “wake up” feeling from it, even after making several consecutive cups! I’ve heard that beans processed for decaf aren’t as good, so I haven’t tried it yet. I have heard some roasters are starting to put more care into decaf roasts tho :P
