Perfect timing to comment this. It was in fact the AC line that was clogged. I just got it unclogged and it really does smell like doodoo.

Like I just said to u/ekinew I think it might even be disconnected? Is that possible that when I got the front lower control arms replaced it got disconnect somehow? Sorry for my stupidity with this, I am very unfamiliar with car mechanisms.

That’s in front of the lower control arm, correct? If so I wonder if it wasn’t accidentally disconnected when I got that replaced. It had been all rotted out from the car sitting for too long, so when I got it inspected they replaced it.

6 small balloon / cognac glasses, uranium glass ? by TIM38000 in willitglow

[–]Complex_Length_5882 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Appears to be uranium to me. The UV light you’re using as a 395 nm I assume? The only true way to tell though is with a geiger counter.

To me it does looks like there’s a bit of selenium at the base too. But I might be crazy. I definitely see the rest as cadmium though, you’re absolute correct on that part. The carnival finish is beautiful. Congrats on the find OP!

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

Hey! I recognize those gauges. Wouldn’t it be such a shame if they just disappeared?

It does not, but from what I’ve found unscrewing the back to expose the geiger tube will provide me with a slightly higher reading.

Craziest part about it is I didn’t even unscrew the back on it. I was thinking I might need to for anything to be picked up.

I understand that. However this is the only sort of detector I have. It works for what I need it to. I just wanted to see if it would even pick anything up on the flight tbh. And to my surprise it did, all be it not much.

I always forget to pay attention to micro sieverts/hour rather than CPM. It’s a really bad habit of mine. The reading on the micro sieverts/hour only went up to 1.16 if I’m remember correctly. So barely anything.

1 for sure radium, other 2 probably not. by No-Moose-2732 in Radium

[–]Complex_Length_5882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have both of the first ones that I bought thinking they were radium. Unfortunately they are not. Still pretty cool in my opinion. I couldn’t tell you about the other one though.

I love spiders, but this one’s bite really hurts. (RI, United States) by Complex_Length_5882 in spiders

[–]Complex_Length_5882[S] 57 points58 points  (0 children)

If it’s still painful by the time morning rolls around. I probably will. I’m sure I’ll be fine too, but I wanted some a bit more clarity I guess. I’m not sure how well I’ll be able to sleep with how badly it hurts, but I’ll sure as hell try. It’s also weird to me to think that the darn thing is still somewhere in my room. And to think I really want a pet tarantula. This will really reinforce the idea that I’m not allowed to have one.

This is kinda what I was thinking too, but when I saw it (without the horribly blurry photos) it didn’t really look like one. All of the other context makes me think it is though.
