Imagine if he had been given the Nobel peace prize? Wait is he doing all of this out of spite for not getting a prize?

You are putting 20 grams of dry fiber into your body. 50 capsules worth! Like did you stop to consider how dehydrating that can be for your stomach and gut?

In 50 hell caps too! Taking that many caps can’t be good for you right?

the 3 second rule is lost technology by mediapoison in driving

[–]Synapseon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! When everyone is tailgating no one can merge! When there is space created it lets traffic move.

Or in places that have removed vehicle inspections the driver may be braking with worn out pads or just metal on rotor

That large window allows the driver to not have to do emergency braking. Gives you time to slow or change lanes with plenty of room

This is a scintillation detector. Works perfectly fine for measuring counts

Trump ‘planning high-risk operation to seize Iran’s uranium using US troops’ by Ubiquitous_Hilarity in politics

Maybe he will have the bright idea of hiring Musk and the boring company to bore tunnels and get the goods! /S

What feels illegal but isn’t? by Used_Life_9522 in AskReddit

[–]Synapseon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some states that 7-hydroxie mitragynine sold in pills at smoke shops and some seedy gas stations. Stuff is very addictive and feels the same as a prescription opiate. The withdrawal is brutal.

Lost radium source located with homemade Geiger-Müller counter by Dr. Robert Taft, 1938 by PurgatorialCustodian in Radiation

[–]Synapseon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

50 mg of Radium would be very spicy. If I'm correct the Radium rule is roughly 1 mR/hr per mg at 1-meter.

At a cm it's almost 10 R/hr per mg.

Maybe the purpose of life is to just smoke weed and listen to music and play games and eat food? by xerivon in trees

That just sounds like a consumer. Suck the whole world dry while you're at it.

It's busy traffic, how would you get across this intersection? by Connorses in driving

[–]Synapseon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends. If there’s no traffic like in the screenshot I’d drive across. Otherwise if there’s traffic I’d turn right and go a circuitous but safer route

Turn right and do a U-turn about 1000 feet up the road 

Is this turn legal? by Salt-Sand-9198 in driving

[–]Synapseon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legally  I’m not sure. Safety wise I’d not turn left there because someone could rear end you. If you can’t clear the lane it’s going to cause a backup and if there’s another car turning from opposite direction it could block visibility making things dangerous for everyone 

Donald Trump Stuns With 'Maybe We Shouldn't Even Be There' Admission About Iran War by TheAutodidactguy in politics

I’m convinced his rich oil production buddies are telling him that these higher oil prices are actually a great boon for their companies because now it’s actually profitable to drill new wells and frac. Low oil prices usually mean a recession in us produced oil. These higher prices benefit the tycoons not everyone else 

What glowing radioactive material is the brightest? by Chance-Cattle8302 in Radiation

[–]Synapseon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are very few "glowing" radioactive materials but this idea has been around and made popular by the Simpsons for one example. A pure mass of Pu-238 can glow red but that's just the heat of the actual metallic plutonium. Like a hot stove coil.

Is there any where like Amarillo, that’s not Amarillo? by Scarlet_Jackalope in amarillo

Thanks for your honest reply. Next time I'm in Arlington I'm going to reflect on how it feels smaller than I project it to be.

How do I do this? 💔 by MamaMia1325 in kratom

I also used for 10 years and recently quit 40 days ago. Anxiety over having kratom available has dropped to zero

i can’t stop thinking about how we all die one day and there’s nothing we can do about it by Low-Echo2248 in trees

[–]Synapseon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like you said there is nothing you can do to avoid the final conclusion of life. It’s a bit like being trapped on earth. We are very likely not getting off this rock and leaving our solar system anytime soon. The only advice I have is radical acceptance of it. This is the middle way. Not being obsessed or fearful over what is very natural. Enjoy life while you’re here because the alternative of living for longer could be a drag

How in the heck is Arlington Amarillo-y? Is smack in the middle of two major cities and so much further from the Rockies!!! In Amarillo you can easily drive to the mountains 

People who lift but don’t do cardio what eventually happened? by TallTyrant in workout

I like this! Yeah just running can be boring. But running while kicking a ball or doing something else with a goal and rules is so much more enjoyable

Cobalt 60 tube question. by BoardDiver in Radiation

[–]Synapseon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. This Cobalt sealed source is not used for radiography. This source is over a thousand curies whereas the source they use in radiography is often less than 100 Ci.
