We settled on Butte being the state's butthole, since it's literally got a hole in it, and Great Falls is the armpit because it smells like refineries and cow poo poo.

A bit about patrol routes (what towns they were visiting along the way and how lovely their food was), how many people were in the patrols, and how frequent they were. I'm sure it'd be SUPER interesting to the right parties, but for me, it was like, "Dude, if you're not talking to me about how to infiltrate abandoned silos or talking about actual warheads, shut the gently caress up so I can figure out how to get this piece of poo poo car back to campus."

Basically it comes down to this: the more radioactive something is, the shorter its half life. A long half life means very little exposure in a short period of time. I could lay on a Uranium pillow each night for a year and my exposure would be less than what we get living in Denver and getting a CT scan in a year. Plutonium can be nasty if inhaled/eaten, but still takes time to work. Disperse it widely enough, and the effects are very dilute; you'd maybe see a dirty bomb give people 1% increased latent cancer risks. The good stuff is short-lived. Iodine 131, Tech-99, and other short-lived isotopes...except they're in small quantities and have half-lives counted in days. You have to accumulate all the material at the same time and deploy it at the same time. Cs-137 and Sr-90 are the best candidates that could be a balance between the two extremes, but they give off detectable Beta/Gamma rather than the more damaging/harder to detect alpha emitters. Again, these are tightly controlled and hard to get so it's unlike you'd see a dirty bomb with this material since most of the sources that used these have been collected by the US and put into secure storage. Truth is, a real dirty bomb would kill very few people but expose a TON of people to a higher chance of illness that would not be realized for perhaps even decades. Experience with Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors suggest the latent cancer risk/health of the survivors would be very close to national averages, but you bet they'd be monitored for the rest of their lives. Not to mention decontamination of a massive area is not cost-effective in many cases and there'd always be public doubts that a good enough job was done.

A friend of mine's got a buddy with a yard full of "reclaimed" building materials and was helping him move some stuff around when he spotted a stack of fibrous stuff sitting out in the open. "poo poo, dude, that's not asbestos, is it?" "Nah, don't worry. That's fiberglass." "Heh, okay. Phew." "That's asbestos."

About a decade ago I worked part time at my university's student union. The building it was in was ancient and contractors were onsite to build two modern extensions on either side, which we'd then move into while they gutted the original building to renovate it. Anyway the contractors were down in the original building's boiler room for some reason (I think they'd built a tunnel to the one of the adjacent sites that ran through it?) and one of them slammed a steel ladder up against the side of an old water tank that had asbestos insulation around it. Just spilled huge chunks of the stuff all over the boiler room floor. They proceed to do... nothing. Didn't report it to anybody, and just kept on going then left for the weekend. Our building manager went down there Monday morning and found a ruptured insulation lining on a tank and a pile of asbestos on the floor. I know all this because I was the one who pulled the security camera footage to figure out what in the hell happened. Turns out, the response from the California state government when you call them up and tell them a big ol' pile of asbestos has been sitting out in the open for at least two and a half days is uh... well it's something.

They said I was good but they had taken me so far from my luggage (and glasses) that I couldn't tell where the hell anything was.

First time traveling international I brought chocolates back with me from Germany. At customs the questionnaire asked if I had any milk products, and to be on the safe side I answered 'yes', when we landed I got passed up through like four security desks while people are trying to figure out if chocolate is considered a milk product until the last guy who took one look at me and my chocolates and told me to just go. Customs security is funny

I had to drive a 40’ boom lift out one exit of the venue, onto a public road, and back into another exit, due to there being too much gear scattered around to safely just drive it across the venue. for some reason I didn’t have a spotter with me (definitely a mistake) but the streets around the venue were well-lit and deserted (in case you’ve never driven a boom lift before, the visibility from the basket is excellent and it’s basically impossible to run over stuff unless you’re doing something really technical or in close-quarters). around the first corner, hugging the parking lane, I was stopped by LVPD. the conversation went something like this: “hey you! what the hell are you doing on that thing on a public street at 3am!?” “I’m just striking the event inside and need to pull around to the NE exit to get back into the venue...” “....okay... but how do I know that?” “...good point. that’s a good point.” I radio’d to my lead to come out and help explain. when he saw I had a radio, and it worked, he just said “have a good night” and drove off. a radio and a high-vis really will get you basically anywhere snugglz fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Feb 5, 2020 |
