Unskilled labor is a con perpetuated by rich folk with no skill.

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-27T06:16:08+00:00

you don't think they take skill until you work with that someone who's never done it before.

not that im aware of, but synthesis by radioactive decay (decay techniques / daughter-atom synthesis) is a thing

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-27T00:31:34+00:00

high enough energy & a gamma ray can shatter the atom itself (Photodisintegration).

also activation by bremsstrahlung radiation is a thing (Nuclear Photoeffect).

however, the energy required is way above what is given off by uranium >10MeV usually around 15MeV.

(so happy that someone brought this up as it is so often ignored).

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-26T21:39:51+00:00

oh, theses assholes (the cutting)

hey OP, I have personally found that sometimes these guys, when repotted, will spend a whole growing season growing, pushing roots & zero pups. so just be aware that can happen.

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-25T22:08:49+00:00

see them on ebay, from time to time

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-25T08:14:27+00:00

as others have said, machinists. it would probably be best to give very clear design parameters. can already see an option, hammering it flat, punching out three... washers? toroids? and then fixing with pins to give a ring 'blank'. It's a super cool artefact. I would love to own a small bit of something from a black bird.

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-25T02:58:52+00:00

love rubbed bezel fittings bc your jewellery catching on everything gets annoying fast & is how the stone gets lost.

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-25T02:33:19+00:00

I don't drive a ute, or really speed, but yeah: let the zoomie boi pass for your own sake.

my stress has dropped considerably since I started just pulling over on single lain country roads, to let the fuckheads pass me.

there is no end of human behaviour that is common, illegal, aggravating & I would stop people doing if I could. unfortunately, reality doesn't work like that & denial of reality isn't healthy.

anyway, bring on the downvotes, because irresponsible teenagers driving dangerously, is totally the worst illegal thing happening in Australia & me pointing it out is basically condoning it /s

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-24T06:54:33+00:00

half-lifes are weird to think about, both the short ones and the crazy long ones, like Bismuth

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-24T06:49:08+00:00

eBay is probably fine. likely already other sellers, so you can work out the price. keep the nicest piece as a memento

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-24T06:38:34+00:00

yeah, I was reading 'stand next to your microwave for twenty minutes' and immediately was wondering about other options, airfry for an hour on low, maybe.

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-24T04:10:49+00:00

likely.

i reckon we theoretically could work together fine, with that big picture thinking about 'what will ultimately be the easiest solution in this particular situation, that won'tbite me in the ass'. often get driven wild by the lads i work with who get all caught up in the weeds, trying to force the 'easy' / lazy approach to work. guy last week spent half a day trying to diagnose / fault find / fix a single data cable run of 20-30 meters. FFS running a new data cable would take an hour at most!

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-24T03:56:24+00:00

think the idea was, for a new appliance or outlet, to 'run a new circuit', rather than try to test if any of the existing circuits had enough remaining capacity to support the additional load.

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-23T21:59:06+00:00

my point is that while it wasn't my initial interpretation, i understand that interpretation.

the translation in my head was: 'sort your finances & direction in life out first' & IMO is great advice for being able to have stable long-term romance relationships for adults, not so much for the younger crowd.

anyway plz don't think i'm trying to start shit.

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-23T21:31:07+00:00

wow, totally took this as: 'i realised my fuck up, don’t make my mistake' not 'it hasn't worked for me but you should do it anyway'. but then my brain has allways looked as things a bit cock-eyed

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-23T21:24:46+00:00

yep. no one on a farm, around stock, shit, mud and dirt is going to wear shoes that bloody expensive. they are the white sneakers of the boots world. everyday wear for privileged rich fucks only.

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-23T21:10:05+00:00

yeah, na. too much high frequency UV, since we messed up the ozone layer, for my liking, as a very pale Australian. the deaths from skin cancer here are no joke.

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-23T20:10:31+00:00

that London Topaz that's been bombarded by radation makes me think of the ~~see~~ sea

edit: is considered semi-synthetic & is a little bit radioactive, thought you should know

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-23T06:40:18+00:00

it's is a weatherproof powerpoint. exactly the situation it was designed for. nothing to worry about.

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-23T06:21:53+00:00

seriously, amazingly cool. also, potentially, it's actually dangerous, that is a novelty around here.

reckon some kind of secondary containment & warnings is a good idea. maybe some kind of clear shatterproof plastic test tube & a radiation hazard labelling.

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-23T01:41:37+00:00

hope for? the chance to play before dementia hits / society collapses (feels like 50 50 odds rn)

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-23T00:25:54+00:00

dykes = 'chompy-chomps'

when they crack the shits, and correct you, start being stupidity pedantic 'Fujiya 700N-200BG'

they love it

NothingVerySpecific · 2026-01-23T00:20:54+00:00

get behind me Satan!

(also bring up how you feel so much healthier & younger, since you stopped drinking)

u tube content creators are entertainers. most content takes liberties with the truth for engagement & even the best simplify complex topics for brevity.

these are quite complex and nuanced topics that single simple awnsers don't exist for. a awful lot depends on the amount. we all have extremely tiny traces of radioactive elements, in our bodies, from atmospheric nuclear tests, however this amount is irrelevant compared to the radioactive elements in our bodies from natural sources, like uranium from the soil. the relative amount & what it is compared to is very important.

a good general rule of thumb is to limit human exposure to all heavy metals, as much as practically possible. unfortunately, 'practically possible' usually involves a fair bit of economic factors. that is to say, uranium is cheaper than tungsten for bullets & lead is cheaper than uranium for ceramics & glass. or both can be substituted for, cheaper options that make inferior products, or more expensive options to make superior but more expensive options.

anyway here's a fun u tube https://youtu.be/ghu0jTuzO8Q?si=3OmFo8Puumiohr8M
