      Radium is just but one element on the periodic table, all isotopes of which being highly unstable. There's noting evil nor good about it.

      The things the tech bros name their "creations" after are deliberately constructed as such evils.

      @datenwolf @ZenHeathen @cammerman Not sure if you say it for Palantir but these objects are not inherently evil in the silmarillion and are in fact created by an elf

        @cammerman Did we learn our lesson? I did research on dental radiography (a.o. panoramic images) There is still an enormous misuse of radiation in medical and dental practice. It’s an easy way of making money and therefore a triggering factor. The radiology rate should be $ZERO and included in diagnostics.

        Panoramic dental x-rays are equal to about 4-hours in an aircraft at 30,000’. Radiation treatment after a mastectomy is a rust colored burn that goes through the ribs to the edge of the lungs.

          @cammerman I once had a wrist watch with dials and numbers that glowed in the dark. And that was only 50 years ago.

                      @cammerman I always remember the old copies of "science" magazines from early 1900, with ads selling radioactive elements to eat and feel "healthier"! 😱
                      Still isn't enough, as I heard some years ago of people drinking colloidal gold and silver, for a presumed "healthy" effect 😱

                        @1000millimeter @artnacrea @cammerman Yeah - they were around for longer than people seem to think. Or, perhaps my little backwater town didn't get the memo about them being a terrible idea.

                                @ZenHeathen fair point, but it's kind of the AI jerks that did the brushing up against. You're just admitting to getting the reference.

                                  @sillyCoelophysis As I called out the trend of such references, though, it was like putting out bait to attract "well, actually"s. Nobody needs that kind of reply guy.

                                    Yeah it cures everything....

                                    Way before that it was fire. Burning solves everything ... #heresy, #eternalDamnation, #witches..

                                    #humankind is basically a six year old with a hammer.. every new thing is a nail for a minute....

                                          Remember 100 years ago when radiation was new and exciting and poorly understood, and companies were putting radiation into everything?

                                          Thankfully we learned our lesson and will never make that mistake again.
