    The grain on the image is a nice touch.

    How does one acquire 350 smoke detectors?

          I feel like he earned eagle the second he got the reactor running. Like all crimes aside he pulled off a rather impressive feat.

      Work for a contractor who replaces them in condos or something. They need to be replaced every 10 years, and with semi modern codes a 2-3 bedroom unit will have 3-5. A 20 unit condo with 4 stories would be 240-400 smoke alarms to replace every decade.

        Oh man one time my apt building was being remodeled and they threw everything into a dumpster out back and left for a week. The smoke detectors in the pile were going off randomly all the damn time. I must have smashed 30 of those fuckers against the wall to shut them up.

          I hate it when people do shit like that.

          I lived in an apartment complex once where someone got a new (used) car with one of those old style car alarms that doesn’t turn off. They parked it in the parking garage and then left for the day. That shit was going off for like 6 hours. The cops were called and wouldn’t do shit. Cops looked at the car and were like “Doesn’t appear anyone tried to break in.” I’m like no shit dickhead, that’s not why we’re calling. Can you tow it out of here? But they wouldn’t tow it because it was on private property. I thought about breaking their windows but didn’t do it. I should have done something somewhat less destructive and egged it or something. Assholes.

        You could win the Contractor’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes! A lifetime supply of smoke detectors!

    Would the grain show up in digital pictures as well or only on film? I know why it appears on film but the gnomes that work my cell phone camera won’t give me a straight answer.

      I don’t think it would look the same, if it was a CMOS sensor, I think you’d see lots of bright white pixels

      I’m not even sure it would show up on film either. But for CCD cameras (aka phone cameras and basically all modern cameras), 350 americium buttons buttons from a smoke detector in a wide “stew” that far away would produce nowhere near enough ionizing radiation to do that. On top of it, americium-241 is an alpha emitter, meaning that even if alpha particles reached the lens, the lens itself would block a good amount an alpha. This video gives a demo of a CCD without protection over it with americium and other various emitters :)

        Aren’t CCDs going the way of the dinosaur even in phones now? I thought the whole industry had more or less shifted to CMOS sensors now?

        Very cool video regardless though

      IIRC radiation would cause grain on a cell phone camers.

    I encourage more people to create their own bawgs. But not up against the actual house. Like it should be at least a short walk away.

    That being said I assume for some reason they own. If ya rent fuck it. Bawg at will.
