Capricorn Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 piston ZA: please note what is not transferable: radiation vs radiation sickness. One is cause, the other is effect. I think your initial statement highlighted by Marko unintentionally created the impression that you do not understand the difference. I don't disagree with the article, except to caution that simply washing skin or clothing doesn't get rid of radioactive particles: the cleaning must be to the point of removing it completely, or reducing the dose levels to acceptable levels. But up until that point, hot particle transfer can happen. The sickness induced cannot. The industry refers to these transferable hot particles as 'nuclear fleas'. Depending on radiation is emitted, viz alpha and beta radiation, if it stays on the skin for instance, it might not have an immediate impact as skin 'blocks' those types of radiation. Ingested though, a whole different story irrespective of it's energy. Ingested ionizing radiation is bad news. What the article doesn't mention is activation products: these are any substances that become radiactive once sufficiently exposed to sources of radiation. You cannot simply wash the radiation away. Depending on the dose emitted by the activated substance, the stuff may need to be quarantined from the outside world. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Piston ZA 2
Stretch Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Mmmmm ...I like this..explains quite a bit..[emoji6] https://youtu.be/tYQXk-rzs_oI'm a massive Naiomi watts fan.. largely because of Mulholland drive and mother and child.....I'll definitely watch that. Edited July 9, 2019 by Stretch
Bonus Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Just started watching Ozark - which was listed on a video link on here as one of the top 10 TV shows that deserved better recognition and we're enjoying it :-)
bertusras Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Top Gear is back, and it's back in a great way. The two new presenters have taken to it like ducks to water, and I haven't laughed this much at this show in a long, long time. Definitely worth getting back into. Edited July 10, 2019 by bertusras
RocknRolla Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Too old to die young Not too sure what to make of it. But i'm on the 3rd episode, so I guess i may see it throught.It's from the same guy as Drive, which will put the style of this show into perspective.It's slow burn (as they say on the interwebs) real slow.........with....dramatic........pauses......constantly. The scenes are all masterfully portrayed, visually very pleasing. I think i may have read too many IMDB reviews. I'm starting to sound like those wannabe critics. Hairy 1
forkie Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 finished Stranger Things S3 last night. My girls cried like babies. Such a good season. cant wait fro S4
Cois Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 finished Stranger Things S3 last night. My girls cried like babies. Such a good season. cant wait fro S4We found it a bit lacking against the other seasons.And the bloody never ending song have been stuck in my head since this weekend. Oh and lets not forget Burger King and Coke being all over the place.

Didn't know this existed, but it seems interesting. The director in question's work is most definitely an acquired taste.

Stranger Things have always been very heavy handed with the product placement. Cois, Capricorn and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3
Stretch Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 We've just started season 3 of stranger things... Season 2 was about as memorable as my first Junior school kiss.. So I have no real expectations
Odinson Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 We've just started season 3 of stranger things... Season 2 was about as memorable as my first Junior school kiss.. So I have no real expectations I honestly also can't remember much of season 2. Season 3 is a tad better. The Russians add a little flavour to the story.

forkie Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 We've just started season 3 of stranger things... Season 2 was about as memorable as my first Junior school kiss.. So I have no real expectationsi watch with my 12 YO daughter who is a massive fan. I see it through her eyes and plus its bonding time, so I suppose that adds a lot to the experience

Finished this one last night. Ended up not enjoying it.went a bit weird for my liking, and perhaps I'm too simple minded to understand the deeper meaning of this if there was any. Perhaps if you are either side of the 'Murica-Mexico saga it would make sense? Anyhow, kinda feel robber of 10 hours of my life.

I've downloaded one episode, but I'll need to find the time to watch it alone. From what I've read, it's guaranteed not to be my wife's kind of show.
