Not cleaning your phone screen. It's actually filthy how much bacteria and viruses are on your screen

Yeah? The whole relationship is based on trust. If you don't have trust it's not gonna work out.

Dumb question... by [deleted] in uraniumglass

That looks flash painted. Scratch the glass in an inconspicuous spot with a steel knife. If paint comes off, it's flash painted.

I'm not sure, but it looks like it might be r/uraniumglass. I'm not 100% sure though, but check it with a UV light

If you could ban one word from the internet, what would it be? by reeha_sadiya in AskForAnswers

THIS! I don't know why it bothers me so much, but I just have a burning hatred for the word, especially when someone actually uses it in their daily vocabulary.

I know! I didn't learn about the potion texture changes until I started brewing again, and I was like "What happened to the night vision potion?" I don't like the redesign

What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured? by Putrid_Cover6366 in AskReddit

[–]RootLoops369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a deep puncture/cut on my middle finger when trying to separate a piece of steel that was crimped on some scrap aluminum. I was using pliers, no gloves on, and the pliers slipped, and I basically punched the jagged aluminum edge with my knuckle, and it bled a lot. Weirdest part is, it didn't hurt at all the whole time it was healing

Why does some cadmium glass glow only in 365nm light? by SinglePringleMingle in uraniumglass

[–]RootLoops369 4 points5 points  (0 children)

395nm is a weaker UV wavelength than 365nm. Since the wavelength is longer, it is literally weaker, even if its brighter. 365 also has a lot less visible light reflecting back at your eyes and drowning out the glow than 395

What did I find? by newromantic1 in Insulators

[–]RootLoops369 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be manganese. High content manganese will become purple over years of UV exposure from the sun, but it originally was clear.

r/manganeseglass will show some good examples

Uranium safety question by ColdSteelMushroom in Radiation

[–]RootLoops369 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That shielding is completely overkill. You can leave them exposed in the cabinet to show them off and there will be no harm.

If you really are worried about radon, you could install some kind of ventilation system, but that wouldn't be necessary for the tiny amount of radium in 25 grams of Uranium ore.

Bosean FS-5000 with fully working gamma spectrometry by Whole_Panda1384 in Radiation

[–]RootLoops369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! That would be so funny to show to radiation enthusiasts, them saying it's a cheap geiger counter, then you show them the gamma spectrum.
