The grain on the image is a nice touch.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago

I was just about to post the same thing. The continuity on the radiation photography is great.

So this is what tweets from the fallout universe would look like pre-bomb

Nah thats just the San Bernardino part of the Mojave, they dont need an apocalypse to go full wastelander.

How does one acquire 350 smoke detectors?

Hahn attained Eagle Scout rank shortly after his lab was dismantled

Is one of my favorite sentences ever 😂

[–] vaultdweller013 4 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I feel like he earned eagle the second he got the reactor running. Like all crimes aside he pulled off a rather impressive feat.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

I couldn't agree more tbh. Dude's impressive as fuck!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Eagle projects are supposed to like, help the community. He tried to irradiate it.

Work for a contractor who replaces them in condos or something. They need to be replaced every 10 years, and with semi modern codes a 2-3 bedroom unit will have 3-5. A 20 unit condo with 4 stories would be 240-400 smoke alarms to replace every decade.

Oh man one time my apt building was being remodeled and they threw everything into a dumpster out back and left for a week. The smoke detectors in the pile were going off randomly all the damn time. I must have smashed 30 of those fuckers against the wall to shut them up.

I hate it when people do shit like that.

I lived in an apartment complex once where someone got a new (used) car with one of those old style car alarms that doesn’t turn off. They parked it in the parking garage and then left for the day. That shit was going off for like 6 hours. The cops were called and wouldn’t do shit. Cops looked at the car and were like “Doesn’t appear anyone tried to break in.” I’m like no shit dickhead, that’s not why we’re calling. Can you tow it out of here? But they wouldn’t tow it because it was on private property. I thought about breaking their windows but didn’t do it. I should have done something somewhat less destructive and egged it or something. Assholes.

Dunno, then feds usually show up when I hit triple digits.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Probably from demo'ing an old building. Or 20.

By getting on a very select list.

You could win the Contractor’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes! A lifetime supply of smoke detectors!

Would the grain show up in digital pictures as well or only on film? I know why it appears on film but the gnomes that work my cell phone camera won't give me a straight answer.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

I don't think it would look the same, if it was a CMOS sensor, I think you'd see lots of bright white pixels

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I’m not even sure it would show up on film either. But for CCD cameras (aka phone cameras and basically all modern cameras), 350 americium buttons buttons from a smoke detector in a wide “stew” that far away would produce nowhere near enough ionizing radiation to do that. On top of it, americium-241 is an alpha emitter, meaning that even if alpha particles reached the lens, the lens itself would block a good amount an alpha. This video gives a demo of a CCD without protection over it with americium and other various emitters :)

Way to bust that with reality! Kept the fact checks coming!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Aren't CCDs going the way of the dinosaur even in phones now? I thought the whole industry had more or less shifted to CMOS sensors now?

Very cool video regardless though

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

IIRC radiation would cause grain on a cell phone camers.

Pretty much, but highly dependent on the energy of the ionizing radiation. Lower would come out as a dull grain, higher would show up as bright spots. Neither would look like this post though lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Not exactly the same, but an electron beam puts a lot of noise in the image: https://youtu.be/Uf4Ux4SlyT4

Also I've heard the international space station gets a lot of dead pixels on their cameras from cosmic radiation.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 month ago

I love the radiation effect, really a great detail

I remember this story, and boy did.. it go poorly from there. Sounds like he had some issues. Sucks.

It's for an arcane ritual that, once completed, will summon the EPA.

I encourage more people to create their own bawgs. But not up against the actual house. Like it should be at least a short walk away.

That being said I assume for some reason they own. If ya rent fuck it. Bawg at will.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

it should be at least a short walk away.

Instruction unclear. Neighbour called cops for trespassing. Please venmo me bail money.
