god i inhaled SO much bullet smoke today
sincerely hope it's not too poisonous

@doskel@masto.doskel.net you are dead

this raging headache is
uh
Probably Fine, right?
right?

@doskel well there's a bit of lead vapor in that smoke unless you're firing TMJ.

Besides that...

@tek_dmn it's fiiiine i've inhaled plenty of lead smoke already from my soldering so a little more can't help

@shroomie @doskel nah it's fine. At one point I actually went to my doctor to get blood work done for a lead exposure test and the answer was "off the charts (below range)" and I'm pretty regularly holding either a firearm or a soldering iron (and I'd bet buckshot is worse for airborne lead than most cartridges larger than .22.. even then our .22 is JHP so like)

So if I can be doing this stuff regularly for years... You're fine

@tek_dmn @shroomie i should see if i can get tested for it
when i was like 8 or so i would solder while eating without gloves or a fumehood so that might've fucked me over
or not! guess i'll find out

@shroomie @doskel little health fact though, lead's soft-tissue half-life is like, 2 months. Most of what you inhale can be immediately filtered out through the kidneys.

Any that does make it into your [[Imagine Dragons - Bones]] has a half life of ~30 years.

So it's not entirely cumulative.

@tek_dmn @shroomie oh shit i didn't realize
i was under the impression it was one of those things that just bioaccumulated forever
good to know!

@shroomie @doskel yeah, I did something similar.

(I also taught myself Visual Basic .NET at 12, so like)

@doskel @shroomie no, the body can purge it. The "problem" is that children are FAR more susceptible. Something like 5x more uptake and only about half the excretion efficiency.

@shroomie @doskel okay, okay, let me get a link. Hold on

@tek_dmn @shroomie oh cool!
yeah i should
probably get tested
or just deal with the memory issues x3

@shroomie @doskel I'm in my twenties now. Anybody remember this picture?

I literally got so fed up soldering this thing together that I tried to choke up my grip on a soldering iron, just like that. Half a second later I very quickly undid my mistake.

@shroomie @doskel before you get too jealous, realize this is still my level of intelligence

@doskel @shroomie just get some ECC you'll be fine.

@doskel @shroomie (literally forgot you were a child)

@tek_dmn lmaooo
am
honored?

@tek_dmn human brain damage due to cosmic rays

@doskel nah, ctx.CONV_ACTOR[] just generally doesn't include the Age field. Memory constraints. I have to go manually digging for it instead of it just being passed around as part of the conversation context object.

@tek_dmn just told you i have severe lead poisoning and probably brain damage and you hit me with this
