  • What stood out the most to you about Americans sexual hang-ups?

    The thing that stood out the most was some latent inherent shame to being naked. When my wife and I first got together, we’d rent some cheap hotel rooms and go there to hook up, she’d get there first and shower. I’d arrive and she’d answer the door naked and it was just wild to me. She was so comfortable in her own skin and fine just existing totally naked (in the appropriate circumstances). I had to quickly recalibrate what I thought was “normal” and my life was improved as a result.

















  • This costs “less than $70”.

    You can get a cheap Geiger counter for $50 today and it’s about the same size. I see some for $30-40. These are based on old, proven technology, not some new thing with new unknown problems and an app.

    Not that it isn’t neat, but it’s kind of a solved problem.

    To put this into perspective, a 10 Gray dose to the skin is high enough to cause permanent hair loss.

    A 10Gy exposure is well, well beyond hair loss range and into the fatal within days zone. The LD50 is 5Gy, LD99 is 9Gy IIRC. Methinks the author did not do their research on the topic.
