I finally looked at a cyber truck up close in a parking lot the other day and holy shit the gaps between the panels are huge

My dumbass would’ve interpreted that as ‘I’m a trump supporter’ and definitely not gotten any action

Thanks for feedback for a sense of severity. If I understand correctly, dosimeter have different time constants and I think this one was pretty cheap/slow, meaning the actual level is higher. The instructions said you have to hold it there for a minute for the reading to be accurate. We didn’t do but 10-15 seconds to get the 11 as I didn’t wanna be around it anymore

That doesn’t look like it. But very cool! TIL

It was this I think Fiestaware. After reading about its doses that sounds right. I remember now the meter was 11 mR/hr which on the dosimeter was no longer clicking but pretty solid on.

There’s a lot of old bright orange ceramic mugs, plates, bowls etc. that if you take a Geiger counter (dosimeter) to it it’ll will go crazy when you get right up to contact. A friend got one at an antique store and we did this like a year ago. Can’t remember the dose per minute or hour but I looked it up at the time and it was higher than getting a dental X-ray. And people drank out of them on the daily back then not to mention holding it in your hand and having it next to your bed potentially for decades. So don’t buy antiques that are a bright orange paint

Typically 162 deg F (71 C) for like 20 seconds at that temp which will typically only lose 10 % of the shit the RFKjr folks are trippin about, while killing the very dangerous shit

And most importantly, musk wanted to do that while Biden is still in office so they could blame the Democrats for it later. Complete lack of shame

He also was doing it to get the limits on tech to china removed so his giant Tesla factory in china doesn’t suffer…
