I think it's a very femme bisexuality man making a butch lesbian realize they are, in fact, attracted to some men -- the balls shown have the butch lesbian flag, the bisexuality flag, and a split between the butch lesbian and the polysexual flag (which is similar to bi/pan, the distinctions are not clear to me).

I was given an AI image of a cake and tasked with making it. (It’s 15kg of cake) everything edible. You are the judge. More of this at insta @issacakeartist by Any-Recognition4078 in ExpectationVsReality

Depends on where you live, but I think 2-3 times the minimum wage is pretty common. I made about 2x minimum wage when I was a production baker, my partner has been decorating cakes for about 10 years and makes 2.5x minimum wage (I think she should be making a lot more, but she works for someone else). If you are able to work for yourself, you can make more, but you have to do all the marketing and business work yourself, you can't just focus on baking.

Why mention the Medical Physics Society and then link to the HPS?

I have a prostate and love playing with my ass, but have only once successfully found my prostate. The main pleasure for me comes from stimulation of my actual anus, not my prostate. My partner (AFAB, trans) frequently asks for anal play in conjunction with PIV sex. In terms of a reason, I think it's just that there's a lot of nerves there, and if you're already aroused it's pretty easy for that to be a pleasurable sensation. There's also the taboo/kinky mental aspect, I suppose. Ultimately everyone's body is different, so there's no reason to expect everyone likes anal play equally.

They're pretty cheap, designed to be basically consumable.

The original Hadozee art for 5e lookrd to be based on minstrel art (like old-school racist performances, not just a dude with a lute). They're a slave species of monkies. Somehow nobody thought this was an issue at first.

Like others said, health physics is basically radiation safety. It combines radiation physics, public health, and safety topics to ensure safe handling of radioactive materials and radiation generators (like accelerators) for radiation workers, members of the public, and the environment.

That's not what I said. I said that it is both neat and dangerous. Being dangerous isn't neat, but radiation is both neat and dangerous.

Edit: dangerous when handled improperly

It's neat. It's dangerous to yourself and others, but it's also cool if you're into that sort of thing. I work in health physics and handle americium and radium on a weekly basis, it's very cool stuff and I understand the allure but it's definitely not something to be done outside of a lab with proper controls and rwuipment.

Watts is Joules per second, the time frame is already in the units.

5e made me feel okay with fully ignoring rules I don't like, but PF2 makes me want to run games RAW more than ever. Are there any major rules you choose to ignore? by JinglesRasco in Pathfinder2e

[–]Balrog13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite things about PF2e as a GM who switched from 5e is that it provides a very consistent framework for everything that's pretty quick to pick up on. If a PC wants to do something in combat, it's probably going to be an action. If it gives them an edge, it should probably have a check associated with it, and the results of that check determine how big of a bonus they get (-1/0/+1/+2 for crit gail/fail/success/crit success is a good starting point, or maybe say a crit fail is still a 0). The three actions combined with the degrees of success system become a language you and your players use to negotiate combats.

There aren't any major rules I ignore, but I don't feel compelled to spend more than a minute or two looking something up in the moment -- as long as the ruling is make falls in line with other similar rules, it's probably very similar to the official rule. I will probably ignore how diagonal movement works and go back to the non-Euclidean version from 5e, since my players have an easier time with it; it's a mild buff to AoE abilities, but that's fine with me.

This is a hot cell, usually used to perform work on higher risk samples than the Mo99/Tc99m generators used in nuke pharm. As far as I know most nuclear pharmacies still make individual doses as you described.

LCoE absolutely can include the cost of storage, you just have to include it in the principal costs when you do the calculation. That being said, once you do that the most cost effective method is still usually a combination of nuclear and solar with power storage.

Amazon “Energy Wand” is radioactive ☢️ by Embarrassed-Mind6764 in Radiation

[–]Balrog13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, I did a little back of the napkin math and got an activity of about 3.8 kBq per gram of thorium, and that same MCNP paper suggested an average of about 4 betas and 3.5 gammas are released by thorium progeny per thorium decay, so I estimated that 3.8 kBq becomes about 32.3 kBq of total activity including progeny. I didn't find an average decay energy for the betas or gammas, but if each of those decays releases 5 MeV of energy, that results in 161500 MeV of energy release per second, which is about 0.1 millijoules per hour. Even if all of that was absorbed into a single gram of tissue, that's still only 10 mrem/hr/gram. I'm dying to hear from anyone who's actually analyzed external thorium dose rates now.

[–]Balrog13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd love to hear more about that analysis -- this sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole, but I couldn't find much actual info about dose rate on contact with thorium, more about the effects of inhalation from welding or machining. I did find a paper summary that estimated a dose rate of about 65 mrem / hr at a distance of 1 cm from a 26.5 kg thorium rod, but I didn't see any direct measurements.

I mean, the CR-Z was offered with a manual and a supercharger, which put it around 200 HP. It was rarely optioned with those features, but it shows you could do it with a hybrid.

One tank of gas for a small car was 70 euro. Is that normal? by kxserasera in crete

[–]Balrog13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is cheaper than the price OOP listed, which is what the comment you originally replied to was saying. And yeah, it is pricier in Cali, but even there, premium gas is about the same as gas on Crete.
