6 Strange but True X Rays We have all had to have them done at one time or another, but most of our x-rays showed were broken bones or dental problems.
Super Famicom, not Famicon.
It did have a multitap. Worked with over 100 games. Not Mario Kart though.
How can the token Nintendo fans of AH be so ill-informed?
Hey everybody this is 5 facts Rooster Teeth YouTube comments edition.
Fact #1: Absolutely everyone has something they like to bitch about.
Fact #2: A lot of commenters are afraid of change.
Fact #3: Only one person can be first, but every video has a large amount
of commenters thinking they were first.
Fact #4: If given the option, most commenters would rather watch someone
stomp on a puppy than have Lindsay in a video.
And finally Fact #5: Achievement Hunter, despite what some commenters
think, couldn't give a rats ass about a lot of the negative opinions
displayed here.
Thanks for tuning in to 5 facts, see you next week
Yeah that game had some insane rubber banding issues, the craziest I've ever seen xD You could never outrun those fucks no matter how perfectly you took every corner
Played the Double Dash demo at K-Mart, back when K-Mart had demos in the
game section. Played DS extensively and, while I wasn't great, I had fun
playing with friends. Absolutely sucked at Wii. I was as bad as Ryan in
that version, though I did only play using the WiiMote and the motion
controls were horrendous. I might have been better if I could have used a
GameCube controller but I didn't have that option. Never played the
original or 64 and don't know if I'll be playing 8. Maybe on that last one.
... Did you honestly just compare an alcoholic beverage to a weapon of mass destruction? Besides, Japan has some legit reasons too, seeing as how they're the only country in history to get hit by nuclear weapons. It's a bit sensitive, like if a game in America featured planes crashing into two towers.

@bionerd23 The worst X-ray emissions were from the early colour TVs which
still used valves (vacuum tubes) for rectifying and regulating the high
voltage. Most of the xrays came from the shunt regulator which drew a
variable current to pull the CRT anode down to a constant voltage
regardless of the screen brightness. You can get the rectifiers (GY501,
DY802, DY86, EY87) and shunt regulators (GP5) from Pollin dot de, (quite
cheap) though it is difficult to buy from them unless you're in Germany
I cannot figure your accent. I hear Hochdeutsch over the hospital's
PA-system, but you haven't a typical German accent. You lack [thank God]
the uvular-R & German's rhythmic cadence. @ 1st, I ruled out Slavic, as
you're English is grammatically superior, virtually native. Russians,
Poles, etc., have a hard time w/ articles "the/a/an", which virtually all
Slavonic dialects lack. You never accidentally omit the correct "a/an/the".
So I thought Swed/Norw. But now I hear tale-tell Slavic vowels?
@Serostern never dropped a CRT on my foot so far, nevermind making one
explode / implode; that's really hard to do unless you hit the tube
backside (cathode) with a hammer, lol. :P i love CRTs. still using them as
my computer monitor and TV. i just like the image quality on them much
better (if the refresh rate is sufficient and it's in general a good
device; otherwise, they're horrible!). i like lead, too. i easily have the
weight of two adult men in lead here, it makes me feel safer... :D
@Phacias oh i was just WAITING for that comment! i should've known it'd be
mentioned in the first comment already, haha. anyway, FAG stands for
Fischers AktienGesellschaft, while "Fischers" is a name, and the latter
word means "corporation". happy now? ^_^ oh, and... in my country, i am
fine doing such experiments, as long as i do NOT do them on a mammal (and
that includes humans, of course) and make 100% sure no human can walk in
and accidentally get the slightest exposure. and so i did.
@Serostern I don't think CRT phosphors have any phosphorus compounds in
them, but matches and soft drinks do! if you google
"crt_phosphor_research_20090315" that file says that P22 phosphors contain:
Blue: ZnS:Ag+Co-on-Al2O3 or ZnS:Ag+Pigment Green: ZnS:Cu,Al or ZnS:Cu,Au,Al
Red: Y2O2S:Eu+Fe2O3 or Y2O2S:Eu+Pigment The lead is pretty well trapped in
the glass so I wouldn't worry about that too much, after all you can buy
expensive decorative glass ornaments made of leaded "crystal" glass.
@yvesgomez an x-ray tube. that's basically a highly evacuated glass
cylinder that contains a heating filament (much like an old-fashioned light
bulb; will release electrons and "glow" / get hot when a current runs
through it). however, as vitally opposed to a light bulb, you'll have an
anode connected to an extremely high voltage - 40,000 to 150,000 volts
(30kV - 150kV), usually made from tungsten. this will accelerate the
electrons, and as they strike the anode, x-rays are generated.
With such a source of intense x-rays it might be interesting to measure the
sensitivity of some semiconductor detectors. If you google
"beamstop_reprint" the first hit is about using a BAP64 diode as a sensor.
I think people also use the much larger BPW34 photodiode to sense xrays (in
a lightproof enclosure) I think you would need to reverse bias the diode
and have a meter that can read currents down to nanoamps. With the same
setup an (air) ionization chamber could also be tested.
@cortexedge well, alpha radiation has a very high linear energy transfer
(LET), meaning they cause a lot of damage in their "range". they're
shielded by the human skin, but when ingested, has a weighting factor of
20, which means it causes 20 times more damage (dose) than a conventional
x-ray or gamma ray (weighting factor 1). beta radiation also has a
weighting factor of 1, and for neutron radiation, it varies on the speed of
the neutron, can be 1-20 (20 for thermal neutrons).
109kV 40mA that's 4360W, most of which ends up as heat on the anode. Yeah,
definitely can't do that for very long, at least not without a substantial
cooling system and a tube that can safely dissipate this much heat for a
long period of time. Tubes used in large xray scanning equipment such as
those used to scan shipping containers are quite heavy due to the large
amount of copper in the anode required to conduct the heat out of the tube
and exchange it with the cooling oil.
@AntiProtonBoy lead is more dense than bismuth, so i suppose lead would
still be superior even if they used the same material thickness for both
gloves. however, bismuth is not much worse and MUCH less (actually
non-)toxic , so it's probably a better option; depends on the application,
i suppose. surgical gloves that end up in wounds, with probably bits being
abraded, are probably better made with bismuth.
It would be interesting to see if there were a measurable dose from stray
rays behind the leaded glass hideout during one of those crazy 8mSv doses.
Also, I TOTALLY need one of those stylin' FAG dosimeters!! I love that it's
all capitalized too, tehee. I could point to it and be all like "let's see,
how faggy am I feeling today? hm, 379.3 millifags, well that's not too
bad!". lol, I'm like 10 years old.
@Serostern Well I'm not afraid of implosion except when I have disassembled
the case and I am behind it then I wear goggles, and I'm not really afraid
of using them either having been unable to measure any x-rays from mine,
though when I used one all day every day for a decade I did set the desktop
background to a dark colour since that cost me nothing and reduced the
average beam current quite a lot.
@bionerd23 No, it is not the point. The mentality difference is SO clear
between our nations :( Here the thing to make a song and dance about it
would be the only fact You used PUBLIC equipment for an OWN purpose.
Therefore the charge would be 'costs of wear'. Irradiating people is a
secondary issue to say nothing of the animals... And You should have known
that I was gonna post the FAG comment ;)
@10mintwo stray rays are not measurable behind the lead glass; there sure
are some getting through, but it'd probably require the tube to be run for
30 minutes or something to make the dosimeter even pick up 1 uSv (i cannot
determine that, as the tube would auto-shutoff due to being too hot if i'd
try that). ...also, the problem with this dosimeter is... it only picks up
radiation @ ~75kV+. :/
@bionerd23 Well, I have no idea how much actual lead there is in the
screen, but that grey stuff peels off pretty easy. Anyhow, CRTs are narly
things. Either you drop them on your foot, or they explode, or you'll cut
yourself on them. And they contain stuff that is anything but good for you,
lead and phosporus... Generally, stay away from them if you don't HAVE to
mess with them =P
@bionerd23 The grey coating on the back of the tube is "aquadag" which is
electrically conductive and I think it's made with oolloidal graphite. I
found that I could dissolve it from one tube with a solvent like alcohol. I
think they put it there to make conductive layers inside and outside the
glass tube to form a capacitor, like a Leyden jar, to smooth the high
voltage.

@chrisgj198 yep, having a dark background (and setting the monitor to go
"dark" after e.g. 10 minutes of not using the computer) can save you quite
a LOT of money, power-wise. =) thus, i really liked the earth day "switch"
here on youtube that let you turn youtube's background to black, lol.
believe it or not, that indeed DID save quite a bit of energy!
@Serostern yeah, a tv uses shielding - not sure about 40 pounds of lead ;P,
but yes. you can still measure the x-rays from it with a very sensitive
device, e.g. a contamination monitor. also, keep in mind that a TV uses
much, much lower voltages... just up to 35kV acceleration voltage - so the
x-rays are much less penetrating. :)
@10mintwo oops. yeah, photons, of course. meant to say "x-radiation" for
this case. anyway, the dosimeter was designed for nuclear industry
incidents such as in fukushima now, for gamma radiation; usually, being
sensitive to >100 keV photons is sufficient in that case. it's civil
defense equipment, not medical equipment.
@Serostern ah, okay. i thought just the front used lead, as it has to be
see-through, and the shielding in the other part of the tube is archived
with that grey coating material. never really looked into what that is
though, to be honest. i'll queue it as the 158274th thing to look up.
Hi, bionerd! Sorry for calling you on your nickname, but I don't know your
real name. :D Anyway, I have a question for you... what type of x-rays are
the most dangerous? I've heard that alpha rays, if the radioactive material
is ingested... or somehow introduced into the body...
good demo about the protection provided by lead gloves. However, being in a
5 Sv/h radiation field for half an hour will make you sick, but you'll
eventually recover. Staying in such a high field for 2 hours will
definitely kill you, but only if it's a whole body exposure.
I am disturbed by the writing above the LCD on the appliance :p But Your
experiments are superior as always! In my country You would be fired in
like 50 seconds after doing such thing - using X-ray for non medical
purpose. Or charged a lot for doing it :)
The Last of Us Remastered - Five Facts
Franco brings you five facts over The Last of Gus...err I mean The Last of Us Remastered. FREE EDGAR: //bit.ly/13y3Gum || Join in on the conversation at: ...
Last Of Us did a good job on making you feel a strong sense of
guardianship? Sure, but I know one that did better. The Walking Dead season
1, the Telltale game.
Personally, I think both games did a fantastic job of really putting a sense of responsibility and guardianship on your shoulders. Both games are a masterpiece and have such good writing. Both games have you watching over a young girl that isn't yours, and it's impressive how attached you get to that character. Both games shine in their own ways imho.
they could make another last of us game called something like "the first 20
years" or something, where you play as Joel right after ***SPOILER ALERT***
his daughter dies and then live through the 20 years the game skipped out
on and have Joel learning about everything as it happens... idk i think
that sounds pretty fun, not sure if it could be a full released game or
like another addon to it but standalone from the game (kind of like saints
row 4 gat out of hell where its a shorter $20 game)
im pretty sure that if they would make a game set in the first 20 years you will get a full game not a standalone
