Why would space travellers capable of interstellar travel be biologicals at all? Wouldn't androids make more sense? No food, no water, no life support required.

What was this used for back in the day?

Picked up!!! David is magic!

How do you deal with a person smarter than you?

The price of Sea Cans has crashed hard. I think I am buying one instead of building a shed. Question, do I need to vent it?

I say M&Ms

Whatever happened to checking the gold at Fort Knox? I thought DOGE was gonna take a trip there. Is it there or not 💀

What?

You get a call from an old farmer's widow. She tells you - I need you to haul something away, but it's big! You head to the site to scope out the job. She leads you to the back 40 and there sits this! How much to take this away? Your reaction? Do you charge her for removing it? And then - Do you scrap it, or attempt to restore it?

When you are not aware that your trucks frame is partially rusted away until its raised on a lift. Not a good day for truck owner or mechanic

Honestly, that’s kind of what led me to start collecting radioactive items, I saw lack of interest in something I found amazingly interesting. I didn’t really see many people trying to preserve atomic things on a large scale either, most collectors focused on categories just like glass, clocks or Civil Defense themed memorabilia only. When I first started, a lot of other antique dealers I knew also wanted nothing to do with anything labeled “radioactive” and would even throw items away if they discovered even a small amount of radioactivity. It really broke my heart, so I decided to step in. I feel like this is truly my place in the world…to care for and properly preserve these radioactive objects and minerals, even the damaged ones, less appealing ones and the rather spicy ones that peg a meter needle most don’t want to have to deal with long term. ☢️ When I talk to people about radioactive antiques and rocks, I try to approach it from a perspective of “Hey, it’s actually not a bad thing if handled properly, don’t get rid of it and these things are even interesting to learn about.” rather than a fear based one. My goal is that people become less quick to discard them and more open to understanding how much of this material is still out there, has been out there for decades and is generally safe when handled appropriately or just stored away with proper distance. I meet people all the time who have lived with radioactive objects for years without even knowing it until I pull out my Geiger counter out from my purse and show them, all of which had perfectly good health. For instance, a lot of people are scared of radium but to me I view radium paint as essentially a “deadstock” isotope, that will never be mass produced again so it’s important we keep what we have left around. While it absolutely deserves respect and careful handling, I also believe it deserves to be preserved and documented rather than lost forever or destroyed. At the end of the day, we will never have atomic themed generations like the ones we had before and all these things only exist once from those moments in time and then never again. I am going to continue to dedicate my entire life to helping extend these items half-life through preservation, as much as I can.

What legislation would you like to the U.S. Senate to consider next?

What would you do with it?

What plane is this?

Guys, you're not going to believe this...
