This seems so obvious, that I don't know why it hasn't been done yet:

I love AI, but calling it the biggest job creator since the highway seems like BS. AI currently allows me to do the job of a whole team of devs. I've worked in data centers and know that the amount of staff for square foot doesn't scream job creation. I dislike Sanders and AOC, but in all honesty, jobs are a real problem, the number of jobs available is going to fall off a cliff. This is what Andrew Yang used to talk about before TDS.

@AbdiGele1 @Breaking911 What evidence?

@ThrillaRilla369 Im guessing 1988, I am guessing because I see a car that looks like a 87 Honda Civic and it's dirty as hell.

@ThingsCrime @tanomuzeA Fent zombie is not a tweaker. Tweaker is the power walking homeless, not the zombie homeless.

@Keir_Starmer I was expecting the summit to be about Venezuela and not Iran because you react so slow to everything.

@DAGToddBlanche I saw you endorsed this but there is still no application available online. Can you speak on this executive order status please: https://t.co/UR9jJfmmJL

@Jabz_CFC Something is afoot with these choices.

@esaagar Yeah because SLS is a monument to over priced government projects that was made to do one thing, and many years later adapted to do another thing. If you want to have a chuckle, compare the costs between Starship and SLS.

@esaagar As much as I love the South Korean people. Their government is the most corrupt that I know of in any modern civilization. Do a quick search of how many of their leaders have been arrested since their formation at the end of the Korean War.

@universal_sci Surprised it doesn't flip around like screws do in space.

@wholemars @hamids Just want to point out that due to the woke mind virus. Jaguar is no longer mass producing the Waymo. They took a sledgehammer to it.

@esaagar Well I thought we had N Korea scheduled for April. January was Venezuela, February was Iran, and March was Cuba.

Well this is new. Here is the answer asked in browser instead:

Flying exposes you to way more radiation than a TSA body scanner.Current TSA scanners (as of 2025–2026) use millimeter-wave technology — non-ionizing radio waves (like super-weak cell signals, thousands of times less energy than your phone). They add zero ionizing radiation dose. (Backscatter X-ray types were phased out in the US around 2013.)Even for the old backscatter scanners: one scan gave 0.03–0.1 μSv (microsieverts), roughly equal to 1–3 minutes of natural background radiation or **10–30 seconds** of flight-time cosmic radiation.Flying itself? Cosmic radiation at altitude hits ~0.003–0.008 μSv per minute (avg ~0.004–0.005 μSv/min). 2-hour flight: ~0.5–1 μSv
6-hour flight: ~10–20 μSv
Long-haul 10+ hours: 30–50+ μSv

One flight usually delivers 100–1,000× more ionizing radiation than any old scanner scan — or infinitely more than today's millimeter-wave ones.Bottom line: The plane ride is the real radiation source when traveling. The scanner? Negligible (or nonexistent now). Frequent flyers/crew get extra dose from flights, not security lines.(Refs: CDC, EPA, NCRP, AAPM reports — doses haven't changed meaningfully in recent years.)

@VigilantFox Hard to believe because this:
@grok what exposes someone to more radiation? The TSA X-Ray scanner or flying in the airplane.
