In one hour, that's twice the maximum annual exposure an occupational worker in the US can receive to the whole body. 100mSv/hr is shit-flippingly high.

She might also want to have her thyroid checked out.

I'm at my brother's apartment in Holyoke right now. Part of me wants to find this yahoo and lowball him at 4k for this thing.

No love for Genesee?!

Wait, did you say open-wheeled cars? Does that mean we're going to see Atoms, Caterhams, X-Bows, and Caparos? Holy guacamole...I'm legitimately excited about this proposition.

I'm fairly sure ol' Leo didn't intend for anyone to be looking at his works underneath electric light of any sort.

APR, Unitronic, Revo, etc. can all get 300hp and 340+ ft-lb of torque out of this motor without touching internals. I want this car.

That documentary was narrated by David McCullough, whose book on the subject was incredible. Like most of his works, it's a weighty tome, but well worth the time invested.

One of the hospitals in my area started using a roving UV robot to sterilize its operating suites prior to surgery. Infection rates reportedly dropped by 40-50%. It's fair to say that it probably cost slightly more than $30 though.

I agree 100%, and your mural is a faithful recreation in the spirit of Watterson's work. My copyright comment was more an opaque reference to the ubiquitous 'Calvin urinating on X' bumper stickers than anything else. Your child is lucky to have such a thoughtful and imaginative parent!

I'm in my 30's and would happily welcome this mural in my bedroom. Time to go find a local artist who doesn't mind aping copyrighted images!

Thank you, sir.

You wouldn't leave someone an iPhone in your will, but a nice wristwatch is something that can be handed down for generations.

I have four bottles from four different batches of 1809 aging in my closet, as well as a bottle of Hottenroth, which is produced here in the states by The Bruery. One of the more respected brew-pubs in my area recently brewed a delicious Berliner Weisse that was on tap for about a month. My only regret was that they…

A tasty beer that is also "light" doesn't have to be a paradox. Mayflower Summer Rye (3.8%), The Bruery Berlinerweisse (3.1%), Porkslap Pale Ale (4.3%), Stone Levitation (4.4%), DuPont Avril (3.5%), or Brodie's Citra (~3%) are all excellent tasting (in my opinion) beers that you could drink all day. If someone would…

Using common parlance, upshifting is considered 'grabbing' a gear, which implies pulling it toward oneself, not pushing it away. 

This is immediately what came to mind. What is wrong with my mind?!

My wrists are so small I had to punch a new hole in the short (women's) OEM gator strap for it to fit. The 44mm looked ridiculous. For that reason I'll never own my dream watch — the IWC Big Pilot.

My PAM 159 loses about 2-3 minutes a day, but that's because I'm loooong overdue for an overhaul. My morning ritual is: wake up, wind the watch, reset the time, and put her on. One of these days I'll drop the $700 or so for service, but it's just fine for now.

I'm as fiscally conservative as they come, but even I've been arguing for years that this is what the government should be spending money on. A fast, efficient train system—especially along the eastern corridor—would open up job opportunities previously unavailable to those who live outside a reasonable commuting…
