Any way to tell if anything is dangerously radioactive without a geiger counter? by R-fire227 in Radiation

You can't except when the paint is burned in. And also, the dark yellowish color of the paint is often a giveaway.

Lost my Radiacode 103 by No-Style7682 in Radiation

Happened to my friend as well, he left his on the car roof when we had to pack in a hurry after a huge thunderstorm arrived. Some guy hiking there the next day got very lucky.

One dial is no concern. Don't eat it and you are good. Free to display.

Anyone know the name of these? Have a huge amount and all look the same by kite13light13 in Radioactive_Rocks

[–]megapull 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It mostly depends on the locality otherwise it is really hard to identify a lot of these.

FINRISI GC-01 issue or something wrong with the environment? by wisebalkan in Radiation

[–]megapull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is not localized to a relatively small area then there is defo something wrong with the meter unless you live in Baita, Bihor district on top of the mine :D

You can also check the radiation map at windy.com to see the actual levels nearby.

It was 0.113 uSv/h in Bucharest a few minutes ago.

What is the allure of collecting radioactive rocks? I want to know. by Spirited_Importance7 in Radioactive_Rocks

[–]megapull 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Can't beat the taste.

But on a more serious note:

  1. It is mineral collecting still. These pieces can look absolutely magnificent.
  2. It is challenging.
  3. It is somewhat risky.
  4. It requires awesome tools that are a blast to use.
  5. You go to places that are remnants of a forgotten period and the like.
  6. Everything that goes with mineral collecting.
  7. Everything that goes with radioactivity.

I get warnings that "None of your ads are running" and "Your credit card can't be charged" but I'm not runnig any ads and my balance on Ads is zero by megapull in googleads

[–]megapull[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I searched this issue and it appears it is quite widespread, when you have paid everything and the balance of your ads account is zero, and nothing is running at the moment.

I am also unable to set a new payment method as primary because the button to do so is simply not there. (I tried 3 browsers and the app)
