And modern AC’s can heat as well.

I see, but will that not make interest rate go up for the countries with lower debt/GDP ratio if the debt is pooled?

And they think the north/western countries are willing to pay for the massive debt of the south/eastern countries?

Europe is not a country, or a United States, it’s a continent made up of sovereign countries each with their own budget.

Wait a minute…. I see what’s going on here!

Elon’s mom is also in high demand, but he’s still selling her cheap

That isn’t true either. Hormesis is a hypothesis for which there is some evidence, but it’s far from settled and we absolutely can’t say it is completely safe. We simply don’t have the data to confirm or deny it either way.

You’re mostly right.

The issue is that the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle has been improperly applied and has quietly over time changed to leave out the “reasonably” part. So regulations and protective measures have gone for as low as achievable period.

This is in part driven by fear of nuclear radiation –stemming from the Chernobyl disaster, Fukushima and others– and the application of the LNT model (linear non-threshold).

That’s where we meet another issue: we actually have no idea what low levels of radiation exposure do to a human body. There very well might be threshold, after which the risk becomes linear. All we know about the effects is based on studies on high radiation dosages from the nuclear bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Yet we have applied the linear risk of cancer we found in those studies and simply drew the line in the graph from the lowest risk we observeren down to zero, which gives us the LNT model.

The article kind of makes it seem like this model is proven fact, but for the lower exposures, which is basically all we’re dealing with at nuclear facilities, it simply isn’t.

The entire article reads like AI slop. Like how they mention the numbers multiple times, as the part where they explain what invertebrates were found.

Doubtful. Climate change as well as its economic impact will affect most of these areas especially hard

Ahh well that’s just me. I don’t handle obtuse people who are confidently wrong very well, but I guess that makes me an obtuse idiot too. I have been doing that since before I ever heard of Reddit. I have seen 9GAG slide off into right wing extremism. You bet your ass I had some long-winded discussions there :)

Maybe you can check the current guidelines too and see that I’m not the one acting like he knows what’s up because “he has had a few X-rays in their time”…

LOL, why is it so hard to accept the fact that you’re wrong? Or that your information is outdated? Have you always been like that?

And I am “pushing for doctors of a fluoroscope”. WTF is this sentence?

Mate, a fluoroscopy is a type of X-ray-based exam where the doctor wears the garment. That is the indication for lead garments, to protect other people in the room from scatter radiation coming off the patient at the time of the exam.

The lead shielding is in the X-ray machine itself. Not on the patient. Your information is outdated.

So again for the umpteenth time, next time they give you an apron tell them to properly collimate instead. Because lead aprons can actually increase your dose.

Ahhh yes, you have “lived” a bunch of X-rays and your wife works at a hospital. Tell me, is she a technologist at the radiology department? Or a radiologist? I doubt it. But if she is, maybe you can ask her what the current practices are.

You really don’t handle being wrong very well, do you?

But chatGPT is a good idea, maybe start by asking it some stuff and work your way up from there :)

If they did it was totally unnecessary, as I’ve told you many times over now. And the few X rays you’ve had are hardly proof now is it? Nor does it tell us what the current standards of care are.

Maybe in the past, but not anymore.

Yes. The patient isn’t supposed to wear a garment in general is what I said. Again, read please.

And “modern” is anything that was built in the last 50 years or so. So no, it’s not common practice to put lead garments on the patient and it’s simply a matter of the technologist being too lazy to collimate properly.

Mate, you really need to read better LOL, like I said in my first comment, it’s for fluoroscopy or X-ray assisted surgery

And the lead garment was bullshit as I have been telling you for a bunch of times now. Read up about x-ray machines and collimation before you accuse someone of not knowing what they’re talking about because you had an X-ray a few times xD

Guess they will now learn the true meaning of FAFO

Like I said, collimation is what’s key: if you don’t put other body parts into the beam there is no need to put lead on a patient. Lead garments don’t work for the patient. It only helps to protect others around them from radiation that’s scattered in the patient and coming out at different angles.

So next time they hand you one, ask them to properly collimate instead.
