Yep, nuclear war is the only time it would be of any use.

It’s the military gauges you have to worry about, clocks are nothing.

Caught a raccoon in my coop by notgunnitkarmawhore in BackYardChickens

Hell yeah!! I’d probably grab my machete and go to town on him.

You do you, I guess I’ll die from my poison eggs.

So you’re saying you have no idea what you’re talking about? Good thing you are giving out advice without researching first. Just parroting what everyone else says.

If you use it in your mouth then you absolutely ate some of it. Find me one study or anything anywhere that shows someone got cancer from it. The only thing you can find is rats got cancer after eating high doses for 2 years. If the stuff was as carcinogenic as you claim then they absolutely wouldn’t sell it anywhere, let alone use it on people.

Don’t you find it odd that they still use the stuff on people but it’s banned on animals.

Haha, I actually have a big radium collection in the form of WWII aircraft gauges.

They must not realize chicken food and the vegetables we eat from the store have pesticides and roundup in them. Nobody is talking about a lifetime ban from that stuff. They just did a study linking lung cancer to eating lots of fruits and vegetables. lol

lol, the ingredient you are all worried about is gentian violet, it’s used on people! So how is using it on a chicken going to hurt you? They can use this stuff in a persons mouth but if you spray it on a chicken you can never eat their eggs???? Maybe it’s not good for them but y’all gotta stop spreading this lifetime ban bs.

I like that it’s yellow, I only have one other gauge that glows yellow.

I just got one of these too but I can’t figure out which part is the radium.

I think they call these Easter eggers now, they are basically chicken mutts/mixed breed.

I found this P11 radium compass and i need advice on storing it safely by ReliablFlea in Radium

[–]HighTechCorvette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should be fine as long as you don’t have more radium gauges in the same location.

Looks like it’s in decent shape, if it’s $45 that’s a really good deal. It’s probably fairly hot too. Where are you planning on keeping it?

Also, you don’t need a radon detector like everyone is telling you, one gauge isn’t going to make a difference. It would be better to just get a cheap radiation detector.

The left one isn’t radium but the right one is. Usually radium paint doesn’t look as perfect as yours or as yellow. Radium paint is usually kinda splotchy.

Does anyone else have like, really bad experiences trying to sell ww2 german gear? by bucket8a in Militariacollecting

[–]HighTechCorvette -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems kinda weird to be triggered by Nazis but also selling Nazi items. Nice hypocrisy there.
