BlankIsBeautiful posted:Related story, we had a tabby cat (who lived to the ripe old age of 20 years old before he took a powder in a 23K acre nature preserve, never to be seen again) that "disappeared" on a Saturday afternoon. Peach (the cat) pulled this often, and would usually surface a day or so later. This time though, he was gone for quite some time. My relatively young family at the time was completely broken up (this was just several days before Christmas) about it, so I vowed I'd go out for a drive and try and track the moron down. While driving through town, I spy the body of an orange Tabby at the side of the road, and start to sweat a bit thinking, "Well, this isn't going to go on very well with the family." I pull over, and hop out, check out the cat and toss him in the back of the car (it was a busy road, so I was risking life and limb just stopped there). He was actually still warm. Would have been a fun police visit. "What? No, I wasn't burying a small body! Well, I was, but its not what you think!"

I haven't posted here for a while, but this Facebook discussion of nuclear waste was one of the things that made me just have to share. Especially because the person was making sense for a while. I am Matthew, he is Jim.

He thinks there is some future technology that will not let the radiation out(maybe like an all lead drum blocking the radiation?) and since the radiation can't escape, it obviously just stays in there. Maybe when you open it all the radiation will get let out at once, lighting the atmosphere on fire!

"The remaining half is just as deadly as it was 30 years prior." I'm not a subject matter expert but I'm pretty sure that's not true either: a sample of radioactive material that has undergone one half-life should only be half as radioactive as it started out, right?

Lemniscate Blue posted:"The remaining half is just as deadly as it was 30 years prior." Measured activity from the original material will be down 50%, but the decay materials very well may have their own activity. That guy just has no idea what he is talking about.

Lemniscate Blue posted:"The remaining half is just as deadly as it was 30 years prior." Not to derail the thread, but: With most radioactive material, one half-life isn't going to practically change how dangerous it is for us. The half life of Strontium-90 is 30 years, so after 30, 90, or 180 years, it can still be deadly enough to kill someone. Its like the difference between getting hit by a car going 150 miles per hour or 75 miles per hour or 40 miles per hour: you are probably dead in any case. But eventually, radiation does go away. With Strontium-90, its going to be in a long historical period. After 3000 years, every single atom is going to be gone. The thing about this is (and this was clipped from a longer argument), he started out making sense. The point that its still going to be deadly even when there is a small amount of the original radiation left can be true. But then he goes off the tracks by showing he has no knowledge of the basic principles of nuclear physics. A lot of bad science starts out the same way. Someone might start out saying something like "vaccines just mask the fact that most infectious diseases are caused by overall poor health, and treat the symptom, not the underlying condition" which makes some sense, and then switch into "and also they have chemicals found in yoga mats that were originally brought to earth from aliens from the Cydonia region of Mars" and then I am like "oh, why did I waste time talking to you?"

TotalLossBrain posted:Measured activity from the original material will be down 50%, but the decay materials very well may have their own activity. That guy just has no idea what he is talking about. More accurately, if you take a equal sized sample from each, that sample should show the same radioactivity, but half the total mass of the original will no longer be the same substance. I think occasionally the new substance it decays into will be more dangerously radioactive, but that is rare.

Cliff notes for dealing with radioactive materials: 1: Don't listen to some moron on an internet comedy forum 2: If it has a half-life of 30 million years, try not to put it in your mouthhole because it's probably a heavy metal, but at least you won't die of radiation poisoning 3: if it's half-life is measured in days, congratulations you have cancer 4: if it's half-life is measured in hours, congratulations you have a brand new type of cancer but unless this new cancer kills you in the next few days, I wouldn't worry about it

Gaunab posted:I'm not sure how people could see Trump as a good christian. If anything, he's more deserving of the anti-christ accusations Obama got. It depends on what interpretation of the Antichrist you subscribe to. The strictly biblical version is presented like Trump, a vain power hungry madman who considers himself above god and unto a god and who builds gaudy palaces and edifices. If you take the generally assumed opinion of the biblical Beast as a description of the Antichrist as the figure who heralds the end of days then Trump isn't really a good example because I don't think he's recently converted people into secretly worshiping Satan by constructing a realistic facsimile of Satan that talks and orders people around. If you're talking the completely non-biblical fanfiction Antichrist presented commonly in Evangelical circles (ala Left Behind) where he's a guy who's so good and cool he convinces people to stop worshiping Jesus and worship him instead the Obama is probably a better fit, but that definitely has more to do with that narrative being written by a group of people that is politically motivated and desperately wants to cast the Antichrist as a charismatic liberal politician.

Ularg posted:Gonna steal that for advertising. I've seen reports where one person with perfect teeth visits 20 different dentists and get about 20 different diagnoses on what needs to be done. From pulling teeth to root canals and cavities though it was more about the spectacle and drawing viewers to the controversy with the TV show. You know where the real conspiracy is? Hairdressers. You cannot visit one without losing some hair. I had a pixie cut when I was younger and then decided to grow out my hair. I still wanted to visit a hairdresser every two months to keep it in good shape but they just would not put the drat scissors down. It's like some quota of hair that must be taken. I couldn't get anywhere growing my hair out even when I explained it to them because they just had to "Take a bit off the edges to keep it healthy (split ends and such)" and at that rate growing my hair out would have taken a decade. I swear if I visited 20 hair dressers over the course of a week I would end up bald from trimmed edges. in contrast my dentist hasn't had to do anything more than a quick polish for the past 7 years or so,
