I’m not even sure it would show up on film either. But for CCD cameras (aka phone cameras and basically all modern cameras), 350 americium buttons buttons from a smoke detector in a wide “stew” that far away would produce nowhere near enough ionizing radiation to do that. On top of it, americium-241 is an alpha emitter, meaning that even if alpha particles reached the lens, the lens itself would block a good amount an alpha. This video gives a demo of a CCD without protection over it with americium and other various emitters :)

I finished it, and my goodness, the music was perfect ! Any other composer would have made me mute the song as I failed the screen 100 times for hours, but somehow Lena’s music doesn’t get annoying after looping.
Oh I know, I just have a few hundred grams of it since I like collecting elements, so I recast it into something funny when I’m bored
Opening phones and heating burritos :)
And melting gallium when I 3D print moulds to make some silly metal objects (probably not so smart next to so much aluminium extrusion)
I fully agree with it being yellow. By far, the most common isotope of uranium is uranium-238, which is indeed radioactive, but not dangerously radioactive. In this list, lead is listed as a yellow because it can give you heavy metal poisoning. In this scenario, the uranium would cause more damage to your body by damaging it as lead would (heavy metal poisoning affecting brain, kidneys, liver, etc) before the radiation would ever have an impact on your body.
Two times actually! Like someone else has said, removing python wasn’t the best course of action :)
The second time was when I had a copy of the home directory of that laptop’s data on my server. The username of that laptop was the same as my server, and I no longer needed the folder containing my laptop data. Instead of doing “rm -rf ./home/username”, I somehow didn’t put a period before the directory and erased my servers home directory…
Exactly what I came here to say!
This is super true. I occasionally visit a TRIGA reactor that was built decades ago, and a good chunk of the computers critical in infrastructure run comically old versions of windows since software used to operate the faculty was a custom job.
165·1 year agoYouTube made some minor UI changes, which caused the current version of Return YouTube Dislike in the Mozilla Addons Store to not work. A fix has been submitted for review to Firefox and other browser stores, but that takes time and Mozilla has get to accept the new version. Adding the current version manually from their GitHub page does work just fine, if you don’t feel like waiting.

That’s great! I wish I spent more time playing it at the booth. I didn’t even consider that it could be used like that, that’s really smart! Thanks for telling me!
Of course I did! You might not have seen it, but I designed the tile that had the 3D scan of Zach’s head on it :)
Oh, whoops! No clue how I made that mistake. Thank you.
Nononono whyyyy is it emitting plutonium, the plutonium would be emitting radioactive particles D:
Also, it likely wouldn’t glow blue since there are no reflectors, so it wouldn’t reach criticality.
I love this one regardless :)

Like many others, I came from Reddit and was initially hesitant to try it out, but I love this place so much! It really feels like the “worse” parts of Reddit have been skimmed off, and that definitely shows with how nice people seem here! Thank you so much!
I have a few of these!
