The total satisfaction of a completed maximum size Buildcraft quarry.

I combined mine with the Dark Matter pedestal, Watch of flowing time and Industrialcraft2 Engine EU-MJ converter machine for maximum efficiency.

Macro Camera! I forgot I had one. Here are some high-def shots, the camera is focusing on an area less than half a centimetre.

Painted-in enamel. This blotchy painting is not visible to my eyes!

Textured detailing under the base of the reactor.

The cryptic maker's mark amongst overlapping circles stamped into the metal. This same mark is on another of my pins.

I love using my macro camera!

I am very happy to have found this tiny little gold pin badge which is an incredibly rare symbol of dedication to the cleanup and future protections around Chernobyl. It has painted-in red enamel and a highly glossy gold framing with a section of the reactor at the center. The back of this pin has the same stamping mark as seen on one of my other Chernobyl memorial pins. I am not certain of when this pin was distributed, or who got them.

I had a horrible dream that someone accidentally installed Windows 11 on my PC and everything was gone. I was even using google in my dream. It wouldn't say how to get rid of it. I think I ended up taking my whole PC apart and then crying and doing nothing.

when life sucks, fill your dark void with deadly radioactive uranium ores.

I made track #02 today! Another super heavy electro drum&bass song with some sad piano. It only took 4 hours of fighting with Audacity and Camtasia!

Two enamel pin badges I recently bought which shipped out of Ukraine.

Участнику ликвидации аварии- made for liquidators who helped to clean up the Chernobyl disaster which happened in 1986. This particular pin badge has a makers stamp on the back so is likely authentic.

АЗС (Атомная Электростанция) Чернобыльская- given to everyone involved in the creation of the Chernobyl power plant, including plant staff, engineers, builders and servicepeople. Would possibly have been given out late 1970's. I'm less certain of the authenticity of this pin badge, but the back is covered in a starburst pattern.

Spectrometry service needed!

Please contact me if you can help with my work. I'm trying to indentify the exact radioactive isotopes that are in each of my "Negative Ion" wristband and sticker products. I initially thought Thorium Dioxide but today I discovered a Chinese outlet selling radium powder in bulk and it made me rethink the manufacturing process. So, in short I'd like to know;

What element the wristbands (and stickers) contain

The amounts/purity in each one

Where exactly the element is contained in the product; baked-in or just layered on top?

I have about 11 items I'd like to have tested, you're welcome to just send me a quote estimation of cost.

An irony: A sticker with the purpose of blocking harmful radiation from 5G signals.

This sticker contains moderate amounts of radioactive thorium which my alpha geiger counter registers as 450CPM on average. Not particularly harmful, but this product still should not exist, both because it's scamming people and thorium is toxic.

Finalized the design, now to pay somebody to make it for me :) It will look so cute!

I have just spend $400 on 5 more pieces of uraninite. I have a bad addiction to rocks.

Etsy is punishing me for trying to spend money. I add 4 items to my basket; fine, but with a £70 shipping fee. I add 5 items to my basket; it's now cheaper than if you were to buy 4 items for absolutely no reason, oh and also...

do you know how expensive that would be? To buy all 5 items individually with Etsy's awful shipping calculation?! It's trying to charge me £26 shipping per item.

The background radiation level in my room is currently 62 counts per minute. It would normally be closer to 40 cpm but I have a particularly hot piece of uraninite sitting inside a container on my desk. Can you imagine if I took that rock out of its box? It's also about 40cm away from my geiger counter, which is always turned on and constantly counting the background radiation level. Uranium is an alpha emitter but its decay products emit both gamma and beta particles, and my distant geiger counter detecting this suggests this piece of uraninite is quite intensely decaying.

uranium is edible but it tastes spicy, not chilli pepper spicy but like tv static spicy, you should try it.

I'd really like if you could have a listen of a track I made after a few birthday drinks.

I wrote the lyrics and spewed it out on Suno but did 3 hours of mixing afterwards (fuck you Camtasia9) plus some percussion support from my own geiger counter. Let me know if you like it!
