And like you said, that runs counter to the belief that being SOF-adjacent means you're SOF (see also: literally everything at Hurby having the naming modifier of "Special Operations", like the Special Operations Security Forces Squadron).

How dare you disparage my heroic service with the 1st Special Operations Communications Squadron.

Radiation level checks were conducted on the man and nothing was found, Martin said. Hazmat crews were checking the garage for any levels before bomb and arson investigators entered.

UPDATE 2: Haley Nelson of WSYX-TV reports that a resident was working on a “quantum physics generator” at the home and was burned. The type of burns caused confusion among first responders, prompting a precautionary evacuation of about 40 homes.

Teams have not picked up any radiation at this time, but are continuing their investigation.

It's been posted in other threads that it is probably a Farnsworth Fusor,

which, while technically a Nuclear Reactor, is about as hazardous as an arc welding setup (re: don't be an idiot and you will be fine).

EDIT: apparently the operator was an idiot.

I lived in that Columbus neighborhood until I moved back to Colorado this summer and I can guarantee that was the most exciting thing to happen.

Decent working/middle class white neighborhood just on the Columbus side of the line between them and the old money township Upper Arlington. Almost makes me want to check the Facebook groups because UA is basically Karen Mecca.

That engineer that was in 'Purple Hearts', the one who was moving cluster bomblets with a shovel and lost his limbs?
I was in that village when it happened. It was terrible, and terrifying. We had a local bring us a basket filled with bomblets. I don't know what the fail rate is, but there were hundreds laying around. I remember looking in a small stream, and seeing a whole lot of little round rocks with tails just chilling in the cut.

They gathered the bomblets by hand and put them in a pile and that's where the knowledge stops because they're all dead

It's super dumb, but I can't stop myself. This is just kind of how I do things.
I remember flying to an area at least a mile outside of an impact area on the range up here one day years ago and landing to drop the PJs off. On the approach I saw all these little round things piled up on the ground and thought "I wonder what the gently caress those are". We take off and the PJs make one radio call - "get us the gently caress out of here there are bomblets everywhere we'll meet you at the road south no more radio transmissions". Ended up hoisting them back up at a road about 500 feet south of where we dropped them off.

I had never seen bomblets before so I didn't know what they were, and our EOD had apparently decided to gather them up from the impact area and take them away from it for *reasons*

Welp that's my story thanks for reading
