And I guess it wasn't profitable enough for them to keep it up because HBO stopped having this available on their streaming platform ages ago. Now you have to buy it from Amazon or Apple.
Not great, not terrible
why 3.6?
The general dosimeters available at Chernobyl could only read up to 3.6 Roentgen, so they took that value and said "hey, that's not a too bad a level of radiation" without realizing (or putting in their due diligence) that the true reading was over 15,000. And the head operator and architect of the disaster (dyatlov) kept using 3.6 as the proof that everything is alright and just a minor setback even though the only higher range dosimeter that was available immediately fried itself
I thought this was a machine from that timeline control centre thingie from Loki. That makes more sense.
Watch the show Chernobyl, it's worth it
Historical fiction
He's delusional, take him to the Infirmary
I was curious too. This is my best guess,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster
The reactor crew could ascertain only that the radiation levels were somewhere above 0.001 R/s (3.6 R/h), while the true levels were vastly higher in some areas.
Because of inaccurate low readings, reactor crew chief Aleksandr Akimov assumed that the reactor was intact. The evidence of pieces of graphite and reactor fuel lying around the building was ignored, and the readings of another dosimeter brought in by 04:30 were dismissed under the assumption that the new dosimeter must have been defective.
Note the name Akimov in the post.
That looks like it can run the latest AAA games at 1000 fps (high settings)
Nice. Have you tried pressing AZ-5 for a boost? Its a blast.

How about a nice game of chess
Chess is a strange game. For me, the only winning move, is not to play at all.
That's a very Cheery and noble setup.
How do you get the air to sparkle like that
You should run a test were you temporarily disable the 4th processor core, stimulating a emergency
If I rate it too high, there may be some fallout
Is the rating on the Richter scale?
I wouldn't say it's on the scale anymore no
