Photo 1 (widely shared 2023 version): Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao in a recovery/rehab setting. McConnell wears the red gingham shirt, smiles broadly while holding printed material, seated in the blue chair with white linens behind Photo 2 (the version associated with the July 12, 2026 update): Appears identical to Photo 1 in every visible detail — same clothing, exact same pose and expressions, same background, same blue chair, same item in McConnell’s hand, same lighting and composition. Side-by-side observation: These are the same photograph (originally from April 2023). No meaningful differences exist in subject positioning, clothing, facial expressions, background elements, or any other visual detail. Minor variations in cropping, resolution, or on-screen overlays (e.g., news logos or borders in different articles) may appear depending on the source, but the core image content is unchanged. This confirms the image being referenced in recent discussions is the older one being recirculated. If you have different specific versions/URLs in mind, share them for further comparison! Someone has some splaining to do!

#GVerse They lied there is no proof of life from Mitch McConnell team. The conclusion they are covering his likely demise especially with the news about Lindsey Graham. Now it seems 2 out 3 could be the assumption: Grok assumption: "The two images you’re referring to (the widely circulated 2023 photo and the one presented/re-released in connection with the July 12, 2026 health update) are visually identical. Here’s a side-by-side comparison based on direct viewing: Subject and pose: Both show Sen. Mitch McConnell seated in a medical/rehab-style chair (blue armrest visible), wearing the exact same red-and-white gingham/checkered button-down shirt. He is smiling broadly with his mouth open, glasses on, left hand resting on or holding a partially visible item (appears to be printed material/newspaper at bottom left), right hand on his lap. Elaine Chao sits to his right (viewer’s left in the frame) in a white collared blouse, smiling, with her arm positioned similarly near him. Background and setting: Identical beige wall, white sheets/pillows behind them, and the same blue-and-wood chair/armrest details. Lighting, shadows, and overall composition match precisely. Expressions and details: McConnell’s facial expression, head tilt, hand positions, and visible skin/hair details are the same. Chao’s expression, hair, and posture align exactly. No discernible differences in clothing wrinkles, object placement, or environmental elements. Conclusion: These are the same photograph originally released by McConnell’s team in April 2023 to document his recovery after an earlier fall and concussion. There are no visible differences in content, angle, lighting, or any other detail that would indicate a new or updated image. The reuse of this exact older photo in the current context explains the ongoing discussion about “proof of life” imagery. If you have specific pixel-level differences, crops, or alternate versions in mind (e.g., with added text overlays or different resolutions), provide the exact URLs or more details for further verification."

@SipeedIO @chrisgj198 That’s Fantastic! I’m also happy to help with what I can in the customer side of navigating the paperwork once I put in my order (assuming you guys don’t get it all sorted before I put my order in) 😎

Sipeed@SipeedIO·
Great research @chrisgj198! You've nailed the key references. Here's our understanding: Two possible paths under IAEA GSR Part 3 Schedule I (adopted by NDRP 2nd Ed.): 1. I.3(c) — Automatic exemption for "radiation generators of a type approved by the regulatory body" that meet ≤1 μSv/h at 0.1m OR ≤5 keV. This requires ARPANSA or state/territory type approval first. 2. I.2 — Exemption via safety assessment showing effective dose ≤10 μSv/year under all reasonably foreseeable circumstances. This may not require type approval but needs documentation. We agree the practical next step is to engage ARPANSA directly to clarify what test reports and documentation they would accept. We'll pursue this and share what we learn. @techdrgn For AU customers, we're committed to sorting the regulatory path before shipping. If we can't get a clear exemption pathway, we'll offer full refunds — no risk to you.

@chrisgj198 @SipeedIO I’m glad I’m not the only one familiar with the somewhat quirky nature of Australian regulatory issues like this… I’m hoping that they can reply with a suitable update… otherwise I’ll have to get an iron clad “we’ll refund you if they say no” promise before I order haha

@SipeedIO @techdrgn And failing that, it would be valuable to find out what documentation would be needed to demonstrate exemption under Schedule I, I.2.

As interesting as "How it's Made" is, sometimes I really want to know more about how the stuff that makes the stuff actually works! Like, who's the guy who thinks this up? Some autistic genius or a mechanical engineer? Or both?

Laptop suddenly screaming like a goat while I've been listening to the excellent @FiatCelebrity audiobooks of @mattdinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl series... and my brain immediately thinking of Prepotente was pretty funny.

@1llegalEngineer Might need to add the NIMBYs and the various flavours of corrupt/useless politicians… OH i almost forgot the firefighters insisting they get the American style trucks which forces your entire road network design to be worse…

@SipeedIO Oh damn… guess I’ve got a new item on the Wishlist… wonder if it will be any easier to explain an Xray machine or owning multiple server racks at home 🤣

@techdrgn Actually it might be easier than you think! Australia follows IAEA standards — fully shielded cabinet X-ray devices under 1 μSv/h at 10cm are exempt. NanoXray is designed to meet this from day one 🇦🇺✅
