Yep, exactly.

I found this article that explains it well.

Radon gas can be found throughout the United States – literally from coast to coast. In fact, there is radon in every single state, although at different levels and not all amounts are considered dangerous.

Not to get too complicated, but radon gas is a byproduct of the element radium which ultimately comes from uranium. According to a report by the U.S. Geological Survey, uranium is the parent element and is found deep within the earth’s crust. It’s billions of years old. As time passes, it breaks down forming radium, the daughter element. When solid radium decays, it releases radon gas. All three are radioactive substances.

The reason radon gas is found everywhere is because uranium is everywhere – all rocks are composed of at least a trace amount of it. Over time, the rocks beneath the earth’s surface break down and turn into soil. So, if the deep rocks in the area contain uranium, it stands to reason that the soil at the surface will too.

The U.S. Geological Survey explains that radon moves easily and quickly through porous soils, like sand and gravel, and slower through more solid soils, clay being one such example. Moisture has a lot to do with this. In wet soil, like clay, it’s harder for the radon to permeate it, so the radon often becomes trapped and deteriorates before it reaches the surface. In dry, porous soils, radon gas is able to quickly escape into the air.

These are the assholes who make it shameful.

I don't think so. Murder is minimum 25 years.

It seems like the law was written too broadly to have a minimum sentence of a year.

Yeah. I wondered about that, too. I don't spend much time down there... but that's where my exercise bike is - when I'm breathing the most.

Praise be.

I think it would be devastating to news in all of Canada.

Hey, it worked for Amazon.

Why is it malicious? If you get verified and then change your profile then you're not necessarily who you were verified as. It's designed to prevent malicious actors from deceiving people.

It's not the first time I've seen a similar story where there was outrage when a blue check was removed, but the user had changed their picture or description, so it's probably what happened.

This isn't what capitalism promised me.

Rumour has it that she called him by his full name -- middle name and all.

Nothing to suggest that yet.

Thank God.

Yep, that's exactly what I do. Just started, so not sure if it will work. I plan to throw in a bit of exercise, too. I've been very sedentary since covid.

He's decimating it so that he can justify privatizing it.

I am, but I think this story is actually a somewhat noteworthy.

He was hard on for some cash.

Now that would be interesting!

Don't they read the news? ‘The Onion’ Stands With Israel Because It Seems Like You Get In Less Trouble For That.
