In the middle of this when he talks about the level of radiation I would have preferred it if he had talked about actual health limits rather than comparing to radiation levels he had measured elsewhere. I had to go look up this https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2011/mar/15/radiation-exposure-levels-guide to find out what the radiation levels actually were in relation to

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, which is done by heating up wolfram until it gives off electrons and accelerating them then shaping them into a beam, is used for cancer therapies and is supposedly around 2000mSv.
It's typically always listed as 2Gy/day, because the entire point of IMRT is that you can control the dose via beam forming and things like Bragg''s peak to only be maximized in the area where it'll do the most good.

In total, 30 days of IMRT will be 60Gy, which if received in the entire body in an instant, would be fatal within 24 hours.

2000mSv as in milli not micro? as in 2 whole Sievert? :pwn:

Yup.

The way it works is that they have a beam-forming mesh on the end of the accelerator which is then spun around the patient, so that only the place where all the beams cross gets the full dose.
This area is calculated using a mix of PET-CT and MR scans, and are done by a medical professional with a specialty in particle physics using a computer.

During their break, I got to talk a bit with the person who does the work at Aarhus University while I was in cancer therapy. It was absolutely fascinating.

I mean yeah. You have to literally kill the cells in the tumor. They need to get a demon core level of irradiation.

The placement and targeting of the beam makes all the difference

The idea is to kill the tumor, before it kills you.

For a lot of cancers, the best you can hope for is remission, that stays that way.

Data caps are such a foreign concept to me tbh. Never had one on my home connections, but sometimes my mobile provider sends me a text like "you've used up 50% of your data this month!!" and I think "yeah? that's what it's there for?"

did the cymbals video have captions? i watched through awful.app and had no option. i just want to know the material used. i assuming steel because of the 800 degree furnace. i always thought cymbals were made from brass or bronze.

the temporary accomodation uses mobile internet, as in she doesn’t have fibre like everyone else in the nation, but has some wifi router that has a sim card and runs off mobile. it’s stupid as gently caress
