      I honestly would not be shocked if he is autistic (like me) he seems pretty normal to me and the others are kinda weird. But then most humans are weird to me! So that’s what makes me suspect… doesn’t make any difference except brain is slightly differently operating system.

    When I was 18 I also drank extreme amounts of ice tea. It was "sugarless peach ice tea" and there was a discount warehouse near me that sold 5x1.25 ltr bottles for a dollar. So my entire diet consisted of
    -boxes of nearly expired spinach from work
    -ultra monster energy drink
    -ice tea.
    Ended up getting really sick and called an ambulance, legit felt like I was dying and projectile vomited pure neon orange over my bed. Turned out I had a cluster of kidney stones that nearly killed me.

    I got lost in Tokyo once! I was wandering the city when my phone died and then it started raining like crazy. I pulled out a paper map in a panic and realized I was more than two miles from my hotel. Then the shitty paper map started dissolving.
    I knew roughly which direction to go, but after about a mile and a half of walking, my map was in shambles and barely readable. I knew I was close to my hotel, but had no clue which way to go. It was pouring, so no one was on the street to ask for directions.
    In the end, I had to go store to store looking for someone who spoke good enough English to give directions to a soaking wet confused white dude.
    That’s how I know I wouldn’t ever give up my ability to read for any amount of money. Imagine that being your daily experience if you go for a walk.

    A serious question
    I am a volunteer with Camp Quest Kansas City. We are discussing themes for next year, and having a robotics activity has been one of the ideas.
    Camp Quest is a gender inclusive secular STEM summer camp for kids 7-17 with an emphasis on humanist values. The kids there are like no other, it is an incredible experiance to be able to run a camp for them, and if anyone has an interest in it I highley reccomend you check it out, there are camps all over the country (and some international!).
    Would there be any way I could convince you guys to donate some stuff to us? It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive, just some basic parts so that the kids can build a robot would be awesome.
    I know its a long shot to ask, but I figured there was no harm in giving it a shot!

    Fun oyster fact - oysters don't have a complex enough nervous system to feel pain, so they probably wouldn't be screaming even if they could! They have something called nociception (like plants have) so they can detect negative stimuli, but they likely don't suffer any more than a tomato does.

      There's no way to prove that they don't feel pain, we're not an oyster or a plant. They just don't have a nervous system capable of feeling pain as us humans perceive it

    When I was 17 I accidentally GOMADed. I just really liked milk and would drink 4-5 gallons a week (so not technically GOMAD). I went from low 140’s to mid 180’s. I didn’t realize that I was fat until a friend took a picture of me on ladder from below and I saw how fat my face was. I didn’t stop though. I just switched to 2% and the weight gradually went away.
    A couple years later I went on a week long vacation and didn’t drink any milk on it. When I got back I was lactose intolerant. I still drink milk though, because it just made me gassy and I didn’t care if I stunk up my room. Today milk doesn’t effect me but cream cheese and sour cream and yogurt do.

    I’ve got some experience/expertise:
    An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. You do not want to eat an alpha-emitter, but an alpha particle can be stopped by the layers of dead skin (Poorly penetrating.)
    Beta particles are electrons (or positrons), and take a bit more to stop.
    You’ve also got neutron radiation, which isn’t terribly hard to shield, as a neutron’s mean free path isn’t all that long, so they lose energy quickly.
    The higher end of the UV, X-rays, and gamma-rays are high energy photons. This is ionizing radiation, and will break chemical bonds in things like, say, your DNA. Various shielding materials exist, rated by tenth-thickness (The amount of material required to drop the rad flux to one-tenth of its unshielded value. This varies with the energy of the radiation.)

    57:23 zinc sulfide on silver is actually one of the most efficient materials at converting x-rays to visible light out there. It has quite a few big disadvantages compared to solid state scintillators like LYSO or CsI though. The effective atomic number is really low, so you need tons of the materials to actually absorb the x-ray you want to convert. And it's not very transparent to the light it emits, so you are very limited in the maximum thickness of the material (clashing hard with the last issue).
    Beyond solid state scintillators people are starting to use semi conductor detectors like cadmium telluride which don't need any conversion at all.
    X-ray detectors are a really cool field, at my university there are at least 2 groups working on them. It also has a very strong overlap with detectors for particle accelerators, so you constantly read the same names on CMS papers (part of the large hadron collider) as you do on papers regarding new detectors for PET scanners :)
    Maybe you should do a collab, NileRed makes some lyso, BackyardScientists melts the bulk and pulls a nice crystal and William Osman uses it to detect x-rays out of his tube :P I bet you folks are up to the task and you'd definitely do something no one on youtube has done before. The top two "LYSO" results on here are literally just spinning crystals probably linked on a shop somewhere...
    Oh and if that's too much effort, PMMA (plexi glass) is also a scintillator (though slightly shitty at it) with the upshot that it's "tissue equivalent" so if you use it to measure the dose rate in a place it converts super well to the dose a human would actually get there (hence why it's used a lot in radiotherapy for validation)
