Yes, except "supposed to be" was actually "was projected to be as high as, possibly, depending heavily on track" but everyone interprets "there's a chance it could be this bad" as "it will definitely be this bad," constantly, because people are stupid.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Well I can tell you the weather channel had me making GBS threads my pants the day before it hit us. Shoulda known after all the storms I've been through here that it never goes as planned but the doom and gloom got to be a bit much. It's kind of hard to explain to people that haven't been through it, but basically you can't loving predict an unpredictable storm so you just prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Yeah the problem is tons of people just flat out ignore reasonable, balanced warnings, so you have to scare people into action. And then when the less-likely-but-still-possible worst case scenario doesn't play out, people call it a nothing burger and next time there's a dangerous storm coming even more people refuse to act. Applebees Appetizer posted:Who said anything about it being a threat to Valentine lol. These two sentences were taken as being directly related even though actually you were just idly noting your own hurricane doom, and then wondering aside from this specific hurricane whether or not the pop-up was hurricane related, but you see, someone could read this and think you thought the hurricane was going to Valentine: Applebees Appetizer posted:Speaking of..... there's another hurricane coming, into the Gulf this time, should be here by Sat ANYWAY DICK DICER posted:THE CAMPER HAS A WORKING THERMOSTAT AND FURNACE Does this mean running hot water in the sink, too?

Oh man, that's super generous! Have you ever taken a hot shower outdoors in freezing weather? It's amazing! Until you have to turn off the water and you are standing naked in the freezing cold, soaking wet.

Gamma radiation is ionizing. It interacts with atoms as it passes through a material. It's far less interactive than beta or alpha rays, meaning, it readily passes through stuff like lead, whereas beta doesn't, and alpha can be blocked even by skin. The total absorption of gamma rays by air, then, is similar to any other material, in that intensity of the gamma rays falls off exponentially with distance from the source. In this sense, then, "range" needs some specified minimum level, because that exponential fall-off curve would not (I think) have any limit. E.g., you could be a billion light years away and there's still some chance that eventually one photon of radiation from that source will arrive. I'm probably technically wrong about that, but the point is still basically valid: you'd have to say something like "what is the range at which a gamma radiation source is no longer potentially harmful to a human being" or perhaps "at what range would a source become practically undetectable" or something like that. And the answer to that question is dependent on three factors: the absorption coefficiency of air, the number of atoms per volume of the air (which itself depends on pressure and temperature), and the absorption cross-section (how large of a surface are you checking for the radiation to be hitting). But wait, there's more! It also matters how energetic the gamma radiation is. See, gamma particles can have hugely different energies, ranging from extremely low up to over 10TeV for some astronomical sources, and the mechanism by which the radiation interacts with matter and loses its energy affects the absorption coefficient curve (that first factor I mentioned). So for example, Wikipedia helpfully shows us the coefficient of absorption of aluminum:  The photoelectric effect dominates below 50 keV, Compton scattering is more important in the range of ~100 keV to 10 MeV, and Pair Production (in which an electron and positron are created by the gamma ray hitting matter, which is awsome) dominates at energies above 10 MeV. So the answer to the question 90s Cringe Rock posted:So what is the gamma radiation range in air? is, really, "it depends." For more reading, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_ray

How many miles a day are you riding? I mean you're burning mega calories and it's probably really good to be getting into shape and all, but I get the impression you're also kind of touring that part of the state in your free time, too. Also, is cooking meals from ingredients still not really an option? Like, buy some potatoes, maybe, or rice, or some high carb low cost low effort hot food...?

Ah yeah I didn't even think about refrigeration, or keeping bugs out of your potatoes or whatever although if you've got a cooler, it can probably at least keep food clean if not cold. You have a source of clean water on site, right? So, simple hot meals like instant oatmeal or instant rice could still work? It sounds like we only need to keep you in calories for a couple more weeks, should be do-able.

Deteriorata posted:Since you wanted to go to Canaveral, Monday might be a good day for it. Do you know if Koreasat5A will be a 1st stage return mission? Because that'd be the fuckin' ideal thing to get to see. If you do plan to see a launch, plan to spend the whole day at the space center. The launch may or may not happen, delays are common due to weather etc., but it's an amazing place to visit anyway. Get the full tour.
