I’ve never understood this trend of having a bedroom boulder. My wife had to have a granite one too 😭
What about radon and radioactivity in granite countertops?
Recently I came to know about this.
Edit: I should have added an explanation. It is only an issue when the ventilation is very low. Accumulation of Radon gas is the only thing to be worried about.
what about this I woke up at 3 this morning and it’s my day off and don’t want to think enough to parse it. my brain is fucking tired. radiation is not my field.
I just got the conclusion:
This concentration is approximately one‐eighth the average radon gas concentration in U.S. homes (37 Bq m -3) and is well below the EPA guideline of 4 pCi L-1 (150 Bq m -3). This calculation is very conservative in that it assumes that there is no mixing of air between the kitchen and other rooms in the home. If air in the kitchen of the house flows easily into other rooms, then the radon‐222 concentration would likely be lower than the above calculation indicates. The kitchen area is assumed to be relatively large, as is the countertop area. In addition, the true emanation fraction for a solid granite slab is likely to be lower than the value of 0.1 used in the equation.
which seems to say it’s generally a nonissue, just get a radon detector if you’re worried.
Aah I should have clarified more. My bad.
This is only an issue when the ventilation is very low, means when accumulation of Radon gas happens in some form. In spaces with ventilation it should not be a problem.
But Radon is “one of the leading causes of lung cancer, in non-smokers” . So not critical, but caution must be there is what I understood.
i guess don’t put it in your basement
People that get into rock climbing get REALLY into rock climbing
Sisyphus? … is that you?
yeah well he got lazy. no hill in sight
Oh he’s still pushing up the hill, though it’s more of a relationship treadmill now
Do you think Prometheus ever got jealous of Sisyphus or vice-versa?
“Man, I’d love to be chained to a rock for once… even if a bird did eat my liver…”
I guess punishment from the gods is always greener…
Climate Change Any% (Cheats Enabled) Speedrun [WR]
Well “One must imagine Sisyphus happy” and I don’t imagine Prometheus to be very happy. We could think that Prometheus might be a bit jealous
How did they get it in the door?
Look at the floor. I think this place was built around the rock.
That could also be mache. Otherwise my idea is that they discovered this during basement excavation and decided it was too expensive/difficult to move
It’s likely you won’t find a rock this big when digging a basement, but as we can see here, it’s not something you can safely take for granite.
When his wife walked in and saw this, it must have boulder over.
It’s likely an art project. Paper mache sort of thing.
If I had to guess.
If you look at the floor, you can see that the house was built around the rock. My bet is that they found the rock while digging out the basement. Options were $15,000+ to remove it, or $0 to just dig around it.
There’s a fully painted wall behind it though. I see what you’re saying about the floor, but the wall behind it doesn’t really make sense either.
It looks like it’s sitting in top of dirt on top of the tile. The wall to the right looks like it could be moveable
Considering a rock that size weighs 5,400 kg roughly, I’m on board
It’s an AI image. There’s a lot of impossible patterns and geometry here. Look at the floor under the rock and the pattern on the bedsheets lol. Also the ceiling is curving and the rock would be clipping into the wall from this perspective.
“the rock STAYS”
Probably easier to move the bedroom.
Bouldy? Is that you?
sisyphus intensifies
That box of tissues is mighty suspicious
What do you expect? It’s rock hard
Nevermind the bolder, what is going on with random boxes on the ceiling? Did the architect forget to include the ductwork in their design or something?
Probably a converted basement. So not enough head room to hide the existing ductwork inside the ceiling
Tasteful tissues.
stoners arent as open to relationships with nonchemical enhancers i guess
We get it, you boulder. 🧗♂️
Look out - here comes Tom!
They should have split it so both of them can enjoy at least 50% of it.
