    So a nation with Jewish, Muslim, and Christian elected leaders is all about repression and abuse. One that has mosques, synagogues, and churches all mixed together. Go 100 miles outside of Israel and see what it's like to start a synagogue or church. Tell us what it feels like as the sword cuts through the back of your neck...

    He fucking called the police during the shooting and claimed allegiance with ISIS. Whether he WAS a member of ISIS or not, he certainly was motivated by them (per his own fucking words) and used that as justification. But then, fuckwits like you choose to ignore what the facts are, what people actually say, and make shit up so you can continue your fucking SJW world-view.

  6. Re:Compared to bananas on Radiation From Fukushima Disaster Reaches Oregon Coast (nypost.com) · · Score: 1

    There are about 15 becquerels per banana - typically around 120 grams each. This study had 0.3 becquerels per cubic meter of seawater (about 1026 kg). So it would take 51,250 kg of seawater to get you to your banana dosage. A banana is 427,000 times more radioactive, by mass, than this seawater.

    Assume your sushi is dosed at the same density as this seawater. And assume the density of fish is about that of seawater (it's actually pretty close). To reach the dosage equivalent to a banana a day, you'd need to eat (and retain the cesium from) that 51,250 kg of sushi. Assume you consume 1000 grams per day (which is a lot of sushi), and 100% of the cesium in the fish is retained inside you, it would take you around 140 years to finally reach the level from a banana.

    I think your sushi is safe from radiation. I'd much more worry about heavy metals and chemicals fed into farmed fish from Asia than I would from Fukushima radiation in your Pacific Northwest sourced seafood. The level of radiation we're talking about here is absolutely miniscule. Assuming a typical American home of 600 cubic meters volume, a bunch of bananas on the kitchen counter puts you at the same radiation dosage as we're talking about here. Literally the produce department of the grocery store is orders of magnitude above this level. It is a non-issue.

    But I get it. Radiation. Scary.

    Just last week I had to explain to a landscape contractor reworking my backyard why my water level (20 feet of clear tube) was much more accurate for measuring the tilt in the water feature than his digital, 2' long level. His level showed "0 degrees" - flat. My water level showed a 1" slope over a 14' span, which is enough to cause the spillways to not flow evenly. He was shocked you could use a tube and WATER! to measure a level over such a distance...

  13. Compared to bananas on Radiation From Fukushima Disaster Reaches Oregon Coast (nypost.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's nothing. One cubic meter of seawater weighs about 1026 kg. The same mass of bananas would have about 133,400 bequerels of radiation. This is about 4.4 MILLION times higher than what is being discussed here. So - if you're worried about the Fukushima radiation in the water off Oregon's coast, you better steer clear of the banana pile at the local grocery because it will bathe you with orders of magnitude more radiation.

  17. About 80% of the US population lives in urban areas. About 27% of the US population is aged 21 or under. That means about 22% of the US population is 21 or younger, and lives in urban areas.

    Well, in the same way that the President and Secretary Clinton were sure that Donald Trump was undermining America by claiming (rightfully so, based upon the Wikileaks e-mails) that the nomination and election system was rigged.
