     @ai6yr When you have it working, we will pepper you with ideas. Mostly, things we'd like tested.

     I'm guessing a large jar of Adams peanut butter is the radioactive equivalent of depleted uranium. I think I might be eating too much of it. I've begun glowing in the dark. 🤪

     @paul_ipv6 @ai6yr That's Adams peanut butter if it sits too long. I bent silverware getting one jar to mix. It took more effort than the calories I got from eating the stuff.

     On the plus side, I've been really good at arm wrestling since then.

     @steter @ai6yr

     at summer camp, we used to have what we called "chemical peanut butter". it came in a no10 metal can. you knew it was good stuff because peanuts were the *2nd* ingredient in the list (which must be in volume order from largest to smallest).

     it not only never separated, you could probably use it to fix dents in your car, like Bondo.

     i'm betting that it was probably radioactive too.

     @ai6yr "The MightyOhm Geiger Counter is a device for detecting beta and gamma radiation. This kind of radiation is emitted by caesium-134 (134Cs) and caesium-137 (137Cs), i.e. radioactive isotopes of caesium released into the environment by nuclear weapon tests and nuclear accidents, most notably the Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi disasters."

     LOL. Or shrimp from your grocery store. 😃
