    Also for Darri, since he just asked a few mins ago: (and we're still ALL GONNA DIE!)

    Commercial pilots exposures are tracked too. It's not uncommon for the really long-haul guys to screw-up and get grounded. The funny thing is that they go in for a comprehensive and their CT's don't get tracked either. But, yeah, you should be able to carry your dosimeter up on a vacation or...

    For the smart people

    In theory, there's a spark every time you hit the button on a manual or inhale/activate an auto battery. In practice, it's contained and enclosed. In reality you're going to have trouble convincing them it's IECEx compliant. And it's for certain your car in the parking lot isn't either! I...

    For CatMommy: Average is 26.75. Trended down. And off the one year average by a fair bit, but not statistically significant. I'll try to scale it to exposure levels, probably μSv. Need to read up on this tube's datasheet and figure out the scale factor. For Darri and everyone else...

    Maybe it took a wrong turn in Hawaii? We'll keep an eye on it for a couple days. :) I'll post today's results in 15mins at midnight-ish PDT.

    I'm afraid it'd be used to psychoanalyze me, so I'm sticking with "The Clue Bringer"

    Exactly. The majority of the unwashed hear "radiation" and freak out, not realizing that it's required for life, without it we'd have none. They also don't realize that just having a 25lb dog sleeping next to you every night is going to expose you to more increase in radiation exposure than...

    >> and without going postal on someone's .... So you're saying your superpower is boring? :D See, I guess that's why there are super heros and super villians.

    You know me - I just take everything seriously and tongue-in-cheek simultaneously. :) We've flown radiation monitors up to 120,000ft a couple times aboard sounding balloons. The problem right now is that we need dispensation from the FAA to launch in greater than 5/10 coverage, ie "broken...

    I want a giant hammer, named "Bringeren Anelse". (Closest I could get in Norwegian dictionaries. If anyone speaks Norwegian, please correct. It'd be awesome to have a giant hammer named "Clue Bringer" )

    In answer to your original question: It looks like my 1yr average is 31cpm. I'm at 34cpm and trending down right now. Aboard SpaceBalloon, we read around 370cpm average at 27,000-45,000ft, about the flight level of a commercial airliner. Rough back-of-the-napkin numbers, I'm looking at the...

    Oh, you mean the fossil fuels and carbon that we get from our biosphere and emit back into our biosphere? One of the statements that has made me want to stab people in the throat since infancy is "non-biodegradable". If it came out of our biosphere, it'll degrade back into our biosphere. Duh...

    Just got done running some sims with local data that I had for Half Moon Bay. I expect Peregian Spring Tides of +60mm (about 2.3 inches higher than one would expect). Other locals will be different. I can't imagine what local influences it'd take to get to even 150mm (six inches), which would...
