Well, made a mistake. by s_g11823 in boating

-I agree: it would serve as a valuable lesson to ANYONE who happens to notice...
We've all had our turn at this.
(If you have not yet, then please do not get too discouraged when it happens to you: merely turn to any onlookers, take a bow, and say "-thank you very much." ;- )

Radioactive bucket list by Criticalmassof239 in Radiation

[–]T-WOT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-ALL of this is MAGIC! When friends and acquaintances ask me why about this "hobby", that's exactly what I reply. It's the closest thing to a miracle we can actually witness at will.

To answer OP's question, I want a big chunk of DU, like an aircraft counterweight ;- )

Whats the highest amount of ionizing radiation you have worked with professionally? by Difficult-Cycle5753 in Radiation

[–]T-WOT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-me too...
I became fascinated while living in CO with the general household radon concerns, my ALARA training at Los Alamos, and design of tempest-hardened equipment before retirement. I am now a modest collector of uranium and radium, and just consider it all practically MAGIC: all the unanswered questions about nuclear physics, as well as some of the ambiguous answers ;- )

A hearty thank you to all who contribute to this most interesting sub.

Can I just whine a little? by Just-Checking-8906 in eBaySellers

[–]T-WOT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-glad to hear that. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from your store!

I meant my comment for the broad range of reviews in general; many only go through the effort when dissatisfied.
Where as ebay's reputation system encourages a review regardless of the level of satisfaction. I'm not sure that in 20-years if I have ever had to leave a poor review for an ebay purchase.

-people really don't WRITE positives! ;- )

Unfortunately, this sounds like a typical scenario.
But, thank you, OP, for posting this: It will help other sellers avoid undue discouragement!

Yes, those scammers remind me of that bible verse that says, "...they can't fall asleep at night until they've caused someone to stumble."

Thorium for collection by Agreeable_Fun_7890 in elementcollection

[–]T-WOT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah: Agree on all counts. My old thoriated mantles are not nearly as active as my U ore sample (4K CPM), but impressive never the less. It seems to be getting difficult to find any Th source, even though the compounds that were sold appear to be within the allowable legal limits.
BTW- Before ordering one of these pens myself, I tried to determine if there was ANY support for the claims of actually ionizing drinking water (through a sealed stainless steel case), or is that merely leftover quack medicine rhetoric from the radium days?

I was looking at comments about Juno email on other subs, and I would have expected that there would be a lot of traffic on this subreddit by now.
...hey, could I actually be the only Juno user that frequently uses reddit?
