The true dose could be doubled or tripled by neutrons, a component of cosmic rays known to be especially good at delivering energy to human tissue. "
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we'll visit your gold bars tho.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> the one thing i would do if permitted to walk in a mega-vault of au is... bring a pocket geiger along (the kind that logs to flash rom, not the kind that 'clicks') << video camera inline with sensor axis too, yeah?
mircea_popescu: i don't share the power rangers' suspicions of Werner Koch.

JorgePasada: I hardly know what I'm doing tomorrow when I'm in the country I live in
mircea_popescu: anyway, i still don't know why anyone in his right mind would go to that stinky, crowded, desperate shitstain of an island.
JorgePasada: "Ok I'll let you in, even though I shouldn't. Don't come here again without a plan."
nubbins`: happened to me once: "so you flew to london for a day, spent a week in marrakech... then back to london for 12 hours, and now back to canada?" "ah... when you put it that way..."
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada me coming here, "where are you going to stay ?" "no idea" "you know i have to put something in the machine ?" "recomend a good hotel ?" "x" "wut ?" "X!" "write it down wouldja" guy gives me a postit. "ok, so that's where i'll be staying".
JorgePasada: "How do we know you won't stay here if you don't have a return ticket?" - 'For starters I can work from wherever I want and It's 3 times the cost of living here..."

mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 he wants to klnow if original gold

mats_cd03: 21:04:31 <+asciilifeform> the one thing i would do if permitted to walk in a mega-vault of au is... bring a pocket geiger along (the kind that logs to flash rom, not the kind that 'clicks') << what would be the purpose of this exercise?

mircea_popescu: and so they dig it out
mircea_popescu: the lulz of all time, of course, is if someone finds a ten or fifty cubic kilometer solid gold meteorite in the ice sheet, however deep
mircea_popescu: this for the obvious reason.
mircea_popescu: anyway, meteorites are mostly iron-nickel, much like the eart hand everying else in the solid range
decimation: the best place to find them is an ancient ice sheet
kakobrekla: find the meteorite
mircea_popescu: not so. one's improbable, the other's unlikely.
undata: I was too slow to bash :(
kakobrekla: a reasonably sized undiscovered gold meteorite would change this significantly ?
kakobrekla: anyway still the measurements are moot
mircea_popescu: maybe some trace li. yet all obseved ones have metals in them. so, must be end products of something else.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla not necessarily. here's the catch : they evolve slowly, and our models would require them to have no metals
JorgePasada: don't think about that stuff too often, but that's what kept us alive all these years
