Studies suggest this supplement could reduce hangover symptoms
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/22/rese...-symptoms.htmlBut new research out of Finland points to a potential hangover cure: L-Cysteine supplements. People who took an L-Cysteine supplement after three hours of drinking alcohol reported lower levels of nausea, headaches and anxiety the next morning than those who took a placebo, according to the study, which was published in the Oxford Academic journal of Alcohol and Alcoholism.
We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.
Scientists turn nuclear waste into diamond batteries
"Geochemist Tom Scott and colleagues have invented a method to encapsulate nuclear waste within diamonds, which as a battery, can provide a clean energy supply lasting in some cases, thousands of years."
" Older nuclear reactors, in service between the 1950s and the 1970's, used graphite blocks to cool the uranium rods. But after years of service these blocks become covered in a layer of carbon-14, a radioactive isotope with a half-life of around 5,730 years. Once a power plant is decommissioned, those blocks must be stored as well.
By heating the blocks, scientists can turn carbon-14 into a gas, which would be gathered and compressed into a diamond—since diamonds are just another form of carbon, anyway. Each gemstone emits short-range radiation, which is easily contained by just about any solid material. Since diamond is the strongest substance on Earth, it can be safely stored inside. "
"The diamond batteries only put out a small amount of current. They can't replace contemporary ones quite yet. Scott told Digital Trends, "An alkaline AA battery weighs about 20 grams, has an energy density storage rating of 700 Joules/gram, and [uses] up this energy if operated continuously for about 24 hours." Meanwhile, "A diamond beta-battery containing 1 gram of C14 will deliver 15 Joules per day, and will continue to produce this level of output for 5,730 years — so its total energy storage rating is 2.7 TeraJ." Another stumbling block is cost, as anyone who has ever saved up for an engagement ring can attest."

Sounds like a great candidate for running pistol optics. No need for an "Off" switch, durable, shock resistant, and compact. The beta radiation, in the form of an electron and an electron neutrino, emitted is capable of penetrating only .25mm of soft tissue, so should not be a problem.

So variable power optics with a short eye relief and illuminated reticles would not be ... a healthy application? ;-)
