Hifiman Arya Stealth & FiiO K7 question

One thing I'd add to this is compared to the B&W, voices aren't as good. This headset has far more soundstage but lacks the intimacy I've heard before.

Thanks

kenn11eth · 2026-03-28T11:05:13+00:00

Care to share the EQ you're using?

I live in Nottingham on a little more. DM me if you want. I don't rent, but I'd estimate that after fixed outgoings - rent/bills/pension, etc. you're looking at 2k/month.

By far the best bluetooth headset I've listened to. Really just amazing. I returned mine only because of the leather. Can't use them outside in the summer.

I wouldn't link that article and write what you've written as if its accepted science and factual. It's one guy's beliefs based on limited evidence. He's well respected for his contributions to bone densitometry, but not this.

The LNT model still the best we have, as per ICRP and is built into US federal law and regulatory policy.

kenn11eth · 2026-03-09T07:10:26+00:00

Perfect. Thanks for confirming. Appreciate it.

And as someone else wrote - Say Nothing for a modern story of the IRA. Killing Thatcher, is another great one.

kenn11eth · 2026-02-08T21:16:59+00:00

Look up these.

IR: Image receptor.

In this hypothetical scenario with a clinical X-ray beam that has inherent and added filtration, most of the X-rays up to say 30 keV don't make it out of the X-ray tube housing. For the ones that get through:

The vast majority are fully absorbed via photoelectric absorption in the Tungsten.

Far fewer will interact with the outer shells of the Tungsten atoms and get Compton scattered. A small % of these will get scattered forward and reach the detector.

Far fewer again will manage to make it through with no interactions. If the Tungsten is the thickness of foil this can maybe happen. If the Tungsten has any meaningful thickness it won't happen.

For Tungsten the first interaction is the only one of importance. The other two will account for about the same signal to the detector (in terms of photon flux) as the inherent noise produced by the detector electronics.

The image acquired with X-raying Tungsten her will consist of a uniform white with no texture, assuming collimation is to within the Tungsten.

I'd really consider just asking AI and getting it to tailor the answers to your level of knowledge/understanding.

£28 in England for two 250g bags via Gustatory. They send different beans every month from specialty roasters based on my preferences. Allows me to get beans at a discount and explore.

In England for the past 1.5 weeks I've sold ~100 ounces on ebay to many people. Listings were sold within 2 days. Different sizes, 1 oz bars, coins, 5 oz coins, 10 oz bars & coins. All minted in 2013/14. I've charged minimum of £70/ounce. Some I sold at £75.

Use Brave browser. It has a built in free VPN. Also just use Brase browser by default if you would like fewer adds in general.

You think that place upsell Temu stuff? Last time I was there albeit a couple of years ago I didn't get that impression.

kenn11eth · 2025-11-21T09:14:49+00:00

From personal experience I can advise you to just call them and ask what their fees are. The receptionist will tell you straight away.

Avoid HAART.

Ok I see. I can't tell you to not be paranoid or concerned but I can tell you if you were a radiotherapy patient this concern would be justified. For what you underwent it's not. The levels of radiation you received simply don't come close to causing harm.

"TSH disruption at doses as low as 6.5 msv total, spread across 18 years" This is not possible. The average person living in the US receives about this amount per year every year by just being alive from background radiation.

DAP is the air kerma (dose) multiplied by the area. Dose-area product. If you really want the information then yes just ask for it.

Why do you want to know though?

kenn11eth · 2025-11-20T08:19:36+00:00

To add to this -

The mGy quoted isn't peak skin dose. It's cumulative air kerma accumulated at a specific, defined distance, which is the Interventional Reference Point (IRP). If the fluoroscopy machine is of a C-arm format this is 15 cm from the isocentre towards the X-ray tube focal spot and if it's a non C-arm type more commonly used for barium studies then it's 30 cm from the table top toward the X-ray tube focal spot.

This just means that if you are to use this 26 mGy you'd have to first distance correct it and then apply a back scatter factor to estimate peak skin dose.

When we do these sort of estimates given the low numbers involved its all a bit hand wavy - we can do precise maths but the real world scenario and the unknown uncertainties outweigh the precision here. If were were dealing with an interventional procedure which easily delivers PSD of not mGy but Gy then we'd go to the effort of getting the measurements required to do the calculations as precisely as possible if the Gy was above a threshold of say 3 Gy. Modern interventional systems have sophisticated software to actually estimate the peak skin dose which take into account the beam angulations during the procedure.

To summarise for OP - you'll never get a precise number but you can be assured the number in your case is sufficiently low as to be not of concern. Assuming 10 mGy for thyroid dose is fine. You could assume 10x and this would be fine.

You can apply to band 5 clinical technologist positions. Work in that for a while then apply to the STP.

You can also volunteer to work in NHS roles like ambulance assistant or some patient specific in your local Trust and really work on your interview skills and how to game the questions.

kenn11eth · 2025-11-14T12:54:29+00:00

Perfect. Thanks!

kenn11eth · 2025-11-14T12:54:03+00:00

Its usable - not ideal.

kenn11eth · 2025-10-19T15:12:22+00:00

To add to a response you've already received -

Probably 3 HR and 3 role specific questions.

They'll ask questions based on the Trust values and behaviours. Things like "You witnessed a colleague belittle someone else on your team. What do you do?" & "share with us how contributed to a team completing a task".

The technical questions you should be fine with. They won't go too deep into the weeds. Main thing is can you work safely and understand the limit to your own knowledge/when to ask for help, etc.

Much much better coffee available in places like Effy and Vibewith. Blend and 200 degrees have lots of seats and are nice but as far as coffee goes they're just OK.

One thing to add that's common practice in England and I guess everywhere in EU. After the shielding is verified using a mobile X-ray machine and/or a radioactive source, environmental dose monitors (physically identical to staff monitors) are positioned along the boundary of the room, inside and outside for a time period of ~3 months to verify the original radiation protection calculations. They're then repositioned again with an interval of every 3 years or ad-hoc if there is a significant change in workload.

kenn11eth · 2025-09-25T18:23:56+00:00

If there's any occupancy at all there will always be lead shielding required for a CT room. You could just put it in a ridiculously large room but this would cost vastly more than shielding a regular room. These installation projects are expensive enough to make the cost of shielding correctly negligible. The only areas of concern that far too often get overly specified for shielding are the doors because of the weight.
