I am sorry, what? They dropped that charges against him. Okay. HE WAS FUCKING SHOT?! How about actually putting THOSE behind bars? This is REALLY not the good news you make it out to be. The fuck do they care?

By your logic, every CRT is extremely radioactive? And instead of actually finally looking it up, you really double down.

1. Cs-137 decays by β⁻ emission to Ba-137m, which then emits a 662 keV gamma. source
2. Material activation requires practically always neutrons. source
3. Theoretically, very high-energy gamma rays can knock neurons/protons out of nuclei and thus also cause activation. Energies need are around 10 MeV for most materials, far higher than 0.7 MeV. source

Now quote a source or accept how utterly wrong you were and quite frankly, fuck off with confidently spreading FUD you made up with fake authority while talking down on others.

Cesium-137 (or should I also call it CS 137 like the expert?) activating Iron? How is that supposed to happen?

So much bullshit talking about how dumb I am, talking about your superb qualifications, and then you fuck up like that. Well deserved, really.

Let me just make sure this gold nugget stays out of your reach, user “givesomefucks”:

Because I gave a couple years of my life to the most stressful school in America so the US government could spend well over six figures teaching me about nuclear energy and radiation damage…

You could just read a textbook or even Wikipedia and have you’re questions answered tho.

But to answer you main question:

Something with a 30 year half life will make the steel itself radioactive overtime. If it is in low enough quantities and deep enough to initially read safe, that’s even worse cause it’s hard to find, but a decade from now not only will it still have most of the CS 137 in it, it will have made the steel itself radioactive. And by that point will likely read as radioactive, but who tests a decade old piece of metal to see if it’s now radioactive?

Like, just because you don’t understand why this is a big deal, doesn’t make it ok

I have the perfect quote for you:

this is what really sets leftists apart from liberals imo.

Obviously I am making a bit of a joke on TOs cost here. Should be no problem for TO after making such broad statements.

Why do you think a tiny bit of that is somehow relevant in steel? People usually should not eat steel. Ah the same time, it shields from the radiation, so the steel itself is safe, since only the surface fraction can radiate into the environment. And that not inside your body, unless you ignore part 1.

That either means the war just goes on a while as is and/or that Trump dies soon. Not sure I trust either one.

Ffs that guy is annoying. Did not even do the math, which should have told him that hypersonic does not even scratch the surface unless he has an extremely wide drop-off region.

High security? Without encryption?

We can expand on that a bit. A breaker does not simply open at its rated current. It should actually never open at the rated current. At 2x the current it takes some time. At 10x the rated current it still takes WAY too long. Traces, components, etc. everything are long vaporized at that point. And this makes sense too, they protect the wiring in the house, not devices with unknown power draw and current spikes.

Which was the last version of Windows where that was an issue?

Exactly. Most people have no idea that is even a thing.

There have been so many such articles in the past few weeks, who cares? Nobody knows what he is feeling or how well he is really doing, this is all make pretend to feel good on the consumer(!) side and money making headlines for the media.

All these “news” about him going down, any moment now, are super annoying. All just for the clicks and people, even here on Lemmy, gobble it up.

So little text and still wrong. Why not at least read about it in Wikipedia? Or ask GPT?
