 @d4b81373 Some of the engineers I used to work with were very proud of their U238. They had lumps of the stuff left over from the British atomic bomb project that they were using as doorstops. A favoured prank was to toss one to an apprentice or graduate.

 @ec36a502 I'd catch it, say thanks, and use it as a paperweight. Or throw it at some of my associates that think it means immediate death unless they quickly cleanse themselves with rose quartz and a sage stick.

 @d4b81373 Just generate some EMF in their vicinity

 @ec36a502 Teh evil 5G is upon them!

Funny, they had the same problem about 4G and don't mention it on FB now while they're using their iPhone.

 @d4b81373 5G, 4G, smart meters, Wi-Fi... 

Tests done exposing "sensitive" people to EMF from a mobile base station indicated no correlation between exposure and symptoms. They did the test four times: 

BTS off, told it was off
BTS on, told it was off
BTS off, told it was on
BTS on, told it was on

I'll give no prizes for guessing which factor had the highest correlation with symptoms.

 @ec36a502 Aye.

That said, it wouldn't actually surprise me if there were a *very* *very* tiny amount of people with some odd unknown genetic thing that may be sensitive to it. We're probably talking about less than one in ten million here.

But that lass that wears tie-die clothing and is proudly anti-chemical probably isn't one of them.

(Disclaimer: my missus wears tie dye clothing)

 @ec36a502 And oddly the friend I'm thinking about doesn't mind coming round our house and has never asked what all the antennas I have up are for.

Maybe I'm just not "the man". Or she's never heard about me in whatever fucking stupid conspiracy theories she's read about on the internet this week.

 @ec36a502 Although if I said "It's for trying to decoding all the weird EMF signals that people use to control and manipulate us" then I wouldn't actually be far off the truth 😂

 @d4b81373 That sounds more like a video essay on Fox and GB News

 @ec36a502 I'm glad all of the ones I know would never watch either of those channels.

Sadly the left has just as many fucking idiots.

 @ec36a502 I'm lying actually. I can barely catch a cold let alone anything thrown at me.

I'd pick it up off the floor after it flew past me and keep it.
