    And somehow, that footage is more informative than some news anchor running around, freaking out and ducking at the sound of a couple gunshots a long ways off.

    They’re supposed to be reporting the news, not vying for an Oscar.

    Background levels of radiation way up around Chernobyl. According to NBC news.

    If an army of tanks is coming through there, it's going to kick up a ton of shit that would register as background radiation. Probably a result of them driving through, not because they're doing anything nefarious. (Other than invading a country, that is).

    Pretty sure with the amount of MRI’s I’ve had that I’m low level radioactive at this point

    The only report I saw was that it was roughly equivalent to taking a 6-hour commercial flight, so you’re not far off.

    You do know that MRI’s don’t actually use radiation at all, right?

    I think he just meant he puts his head in the microwave after heating them up.

    Okay, so CT scans are the big xray emitters. Same radiation as getting a regular xray but in much higher doses. Nuclear medicine is the highest and your body becomes radioactive(briefly) and emits gamma rays into a “camera”. MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to obtain images through interaction with hydrogen atoms in your body.

    oh yeah, had plenty of CT scans too. Close to as many as MRIs, if not more. I don't know for sure -- I've had a lot of both. I'm not terribly concerned either way, as fortunately I haven't had any recently. Though I keep getting these spam calls from russia asking to donate my body "to the cause." Weird

    I seriously thought that for a few minutes. I'll blame it on old age.

    Am I just not looking in the correct places, but does there seem to be little video coverage on the invasion? It's on the news channels non-stop but just showing the same clips over and over.

    So what’s this bullshit now? Did these morons not see how this story just ended for the convoy idiots up here? Bail denied. Vehicle registration expelled and impounded. Sitting in jail awaiting trial to go to prison.

    And your authorities are going to be nicer than Canada’s were after what happened last January in Washington? I guess we’ll find out.
