@mischievoustomato @pry I'd just sell it, I'd rather have 1k than a macbook -

I've been fairly consistently having nightmares about radiation for quite a few months now
In this case there was a thunderstorm where the rain contained fallout for some reason and I spent the whole time being incredibly paranoid to not let any of it touch my body
Uncle Freud, what's the symbolism here -

@pry I learned to code on a Jetbrains ide (IntelliJ) -

@pry Do you think they'd give me a free laptop if I made a video about how I jumped ship to Emacs like six months in and haven't touched their software since -

@navi @lanodan If you prefer shell and want something lisp-ish check out tcl -

S&W's quality control on revolvers has declined so much I'm starting to seriously wonder if buying a Taurus would be the smarter move -

Practical fitness is cool and all but I need to get back into lifting (saw someone with a nice ass and am really jealous) -

@snacks Oh wait sorry I'm stupid, yeah it would be ionizing
Whether or not you're irradiated would depend on the amount of it -

@snacks As a side note, a useful rule of thumb in radiation safety is that the more penetrative a type of radiation is the less damage it does, and vice versa
Ionizing radiation penetrates very deeply (hence why X-rays work) which in physical terms means it doesn't interact with atoms very much, so there needs to be quite a lot of it to have an impact
On the other hand, alpha and beta particles are EXTREMELY damaging but are so big and cumbersome that they can be stopped by pretty much anything -

@snacks Mmm in classical terms, yes, I wonder if the difference here comes down more to charge than mass -

@snacks The light coming towards you would be blue-shifted but that doesn't mean it's ionizing
Ill effects from EM radiation have less to do with the wavelength and more to do with intensity -

@snacks EV is a measure of the kinetic energy a particle gains when accelerating through a potential difference of one volt
Lead nuclei are much heavier than protons, so a given voltage won't accelerate it as much
It's like if you kick a football vs a rock with the same amount of force, rock won't move as much -

@snacks Why would they become ionizing? -

@snacks You experience the Doppler effect every single day with sound waves, eg when a car passes you. There's no increase or decrease in the amount of sound produced, rather as the car gets closer to you the sound waves compress in wavelength and as it gets further away the sound waves extend in wavelength; it's purely a matter of where you are physically relative to the thing producing the noise
Exactly the same deal with red and blue shift -
