The few rattlesnakes this far north are so timid that I only know of two reported bites. Both involved men and alcohol.

it's one of these, the things that actually matter are that all the pepperoni lands on the pizza, and each one has the same quantity and weight on it

I mean once it goes into box and eventually ends with a customer the sausages will be rearranged already and they can tune it themselves before they put it in the oven. Or they could just blend it and eat it as a soup, it's irrelevant how they are placed.

The emissions are all alpha particles. They can’t penetrate the nitrile gloves or for that matter bare skin. It’s only a danger if you eat or inhale the dust.

Most small shops are making worthless mixed scrap. If you want good brass prices from the scrappers it has to be brass. You need machines dedicated to running brass only to get the good prices: nobody with a small shop is going to be willing to spend the amount of time cleaning out the machine to get the contaminates out to get the good prices.
Hell, we even ran our brass chips, and only the brass, through a centrifuge just to help drive off the oil so the scrappers would pay us more. Boy howdy did work get mad when somebody mixed some aluminum into the brass hopper! Contaminating ~44,000 lbs of brass is an extremely expensive mistake.

In today's prices that's roughly a $96k vs $44k difference for a full hopper.

At that value can't you shred it then use compressed-air to sort by density?

Yeah brass is still used industrially compared to steel or aluminium, despite its expense, because its scrap is valuable. For part with like 93% stock removal that means suddenly it's cheaper to use brass since the cost of the billet minus the swarf return is less than the cost of a steel billet and writing off the swarf loss.

Brass also machines very nice, it chipbreaks itself and is good on tools, so you can run tools faster and feed them mote aggressively, which is also in its favour for such parts.

Oh that's a neat question. Steel can obviously be picked up with a magnet so we always used to joke "there's no aluminum magnet" or "there's no delrin magnet." Compressed-air density sorting could work I suppose? The volume of material is probably the problem.

I know steel/aluminum home machinists get upset at how "gummy" brass is but I loved how it machined. Obviously having an "unlimited" tooling budget and machines dedicated to the material makes a difference and a lot of home machinists are using tooling ground for other materials because buying a pack of carbides is a shitload of money. We had an open tool crib with a log book instead of some vending machine or tool crib nazi demanding to know why we needed a replacement. Our department alone went through $10k of drill bits every month. We didn't sharpen them, ever: we replaced with new bits and trashed the used ones. (Drone Fragger you seem to know. We were a CNC Swiss department so we used Jobber/Swiss length bits and you probably know how loving expensive those shorties are)

I blew through several thousands of dollars of carbide slitting saws in a few weeks because one of my machines had the slitting saw control box wired incorrectly (neutral/hot power lead swap IIRC) and heard nothing about the cost. If anything they were happy that the lowest level of employee called in a tech to figure out the problem with the machine's wiring.

One of the things with running brass in brass dedicated machines is that you're flooding it with 100% oil instead of running it dry, spritzing some home-shop aluminum with WD-40, running a mist cooler, or that NASTY oil-water emulsion stinky poo poo they use in non Swiss-style machines.

This actually made me wonder: Are Geiger counters still built in a way where detecting radiation directly leads to them making that particular sound? Or are they just fully digital now and there's just a sound chip inside translating the readings into the familiar sound?

If they can make whatever sound they want it should be scary, like a horror sound effect, or a gradually raising scream:
