Luckily there isn't really a market for scrap decaying kid corpses (I hope). The coffin might get scavenged, and the body tossed in a pile/pit if society decays to the point where looting graves for scrap makes sense.

Shouldn't things with a high enough decay rate to put out dangerous amounts of radiation have a short enough half life to burn themselves out relatively quickly?

I think the alcohol vapor is going to boil off first, increasing pressure in the bottle and eventually causing a BLEVE. At which point the hot alcohol vapor ignites in the air.

The bottle bursting from being heated, sure. The ~100ml of alcohol boiling off, igniting and making a flare through the ~650ml of water, maybe, ok.

That ~4oz of alcohol making a fireball, causing all the vapor spray to ignite, and leaving sticky flames burning with black smoke on the magnetron and box? nah.

I'm trying to figure out how much exposure she's getting and how much it's likely to gently caress her. So just in that video, the hunk of radioactive graphite she dug out of a radioactive ant hill () reads over 100 mSeivert/hour. One seivert seems to be associated with a 5.5% chance of eventually developing cancer, so every hour she handles that part of an exploded nuclear reactor () she increases her risk of developing cancer by .5%, and receives more radiation than an astronaut on the ISS does in 6 months. And that's just the exposure from that pebble.

To mitigate that, it looks like calculating radiation exposure considers whole-body vs. partial exposures, but this being gamma radiation, isn't she basically getting a full body dose just having that so close to her? I can't imagine those gloves or even the tissues of her hands are stopping anything from whipping right through the rest of her, but I have no idea.

The source is 100mSievert/hr at no distance, that energy drops off as an inverse square in relation to distance from the source. She's definitely not using the best of practices, especially in some of the photo-ops, but she's not getting a fully body dose at anything close to 100mS.

Let me tell you about all the possible ways to die just by sitting idle in front of your PC, however remote they could be.
There's cautiousness, and there's blind fear, which is just as bad as what she's doing.

People engage in dangerous activities all the time. Usually the justification is either "it's worth it" or "the bad part won't happen to me". She under stands the risks, and seems to really enjoy hunting down bits of reactor core that max out every meter her team carries. I wouldn't be surprised if part of her justification was along the lines of "doing this for x years increases my chances of getting cancer from 65% to 73%" and she's ok with that.

It's not like she's doing something as dangerous as smoking, riding a motorcycle, or roofing work.

chitoryu12 posted:

The boiling point of gasoline is between 100 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the exact fuel; this is why gasoline evaporates over time (creating dangerously flammable fumes that are much easier to ignite than the liquid itself). The actual ignition temperature is about 495 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can safely boil it as long as there's no open flames around to risk igniting fumes. This is also why dropping a match or lighter in a puddle or tank of gasoline is more likely to extinguish the flame than ignite it, but dropping in a road flare or something means you better run.

I actually mixed gasoline into a citronella bucket candle by pouring gas on top of the wax, and lighting it on fire to melt the contents, then covering the bucket to snuff out the fire and let the mixture cool. I didn't have any electric hot plates, so trying to boil gas would have involved an open flame under the container. Leading to the expected fire ball or column of flame. Or just accept that everything is going to be on fire and work from there.

This sounds like something from the FOOF thread, not very work related!

I would guess that the correct way to do this is to have two hooks and have at least one connected at all times. Connect hook above you, climb a few steps, connect 2nd hook above you, remove the hook that's now below you, and so on.

Or something like an ascender on a fixed wire ripe.

Aside from the general insanity of being on 1700ft tower, not clipping in for the transition points where he has to haul himself around around a big flanged plate were the insane parts to me. Not clipping in every 3 feet while going up a ladder or truss? Sure. You're well supported and are making the same motions to repeating holds over and over. Not clipping in when you're searching for new grips and don't have your center of gravity close to the tower? No. Bad.
