Bit late to the expensive textbooks discussion, but I'm really grateful that all our reading materials are available for free from the Uni library.

Speaking of textbooks, just got word from one of my professors that, "This course has no textbook. The program has listed a required textbook for this course, but that is wrong." :))

I've found a lot of my liberal arts professors (double major here) do this a lot. "I'm required to use this textbook by the department but eff that," they say.

The science college, however, is never so kind. I had to buy five books, two of which were quite pricey, for one class...that I dropped the first day because it was one of those "I believe in failing all of you" courses.

Maaaan, I have things I need to complain about but I don't even know how to begin complaining about them, nor which thread to do said complaining in. This is both weird and unideal.

Clearly.  ;)

Of course, the human body is evolved to deal with some level of radiation.

I'm not sure it's evolution so much as it just isn't likely to have much of an effect.

I'm always mind blown by the cycle speed of the FGRP section.

You're already complaining about complaining,
Better get if off your chest before we all go down the rabbithole.

Hell, the kinds of radiation that aren't light (alpha and beta) are basically harmless in most circumstances anyway.
They cause mutations and cancer, so they're hardly harmless. Good news: they're so easily blocked, one is really only in trouble if alpha- or beta-active matter ends up inside one's body. Bad news: the air of most houses contains alpha-active Radon-222, which goes inside your lungs when you breathe. Ergo, breathing air causes cancer. The obvious solution is to stop breathing. :P

100% percent of people who breathe die. COINCIDENCE?

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Well, actually, it is evolution, in the sense that background radiation is responsible for many of the small, meaningless mutations that add up to evolution over a very long time, but yes.

And radiation does cause damage in ways that would be quite hard to deal with, if our bodies didn't know how.

There was a radiation riddle with cookies, but I forget how it goes.

EDIT: here it is.

Woah. Slow down. We currently know that 100% of people who breathe Nitrogen/Oxygen die.
Clearly there must be a "not die" gas.
