I’m not even sure it would show up on film either. But for CCD cameras (aka phone cameras and basically all modern cameras), 350 americium buttons buttons from a smoke detector in a wide “stew” that far away would produce nowhere near enough ionizing radiation to do that. On top of it, americium-241 is an alpha emitter, meaning that even if alpha particles reached the lens, the lens itself would block a good amount an alpha. This video gives a demo of a CCD without protection over it with americium and other various emitters :)

Christopher Larkin moment

I finished it, and my goodness, the music was perfect ! Any other composer would have made me mute the song as I failed the screen 100 times for hours, but somehow Lena’s music doesn’t get annoying after looping.

Oh I know, I just have a few hundred grams of it since I like collecting elements, so I recast it into something funny when I’m bored

Opening phones and heating burritos :)

And melting gallium when I 3D print moulds to make some silly metal objects (probably not so smart next to so much aluminium extrusion)

I fully agree with it being yellow. By far, the most common isotope of uranium is uranium-238, which is indeed radioactive, but not dangerously radioactive. In this list, lead is listed as a yellow because it can give you heavy metal poisoning. In this scenario, the uranium would cause more damage to your body by damaging it as lead would (heavy metal poisoning affecting brain, kidneys, liver, etc) before the radiation would ever have an impact on your body.

Two times actually! Like someone else has said, removing python wasn’t the best course of action :)

The second time was when I had a copy of the home directory of that laptop’s data on my server. The username of that laptop was the same as my server, and I no longer needed the folder containing my laptop data. Instead of doing “rm -rf ./home/username”, I somehow didn’t put a period before the directory and erased my servers home directory…

Exactly what I came here to say!
