4 minute warning?

[2hats]

Unlikely. Iodine is an element and elements don't go off.

[Well manufactured] KI tablets are probably usable for ten or twenty years if stored properly.

I'd bring the washing in from the garden.

Now don't be hasty here. That extra heat should dry them out a treat

 

[friedaweed]

Imagine being in a crowded public place when this goes off?

I might sue the government for acoustic shock

Imagine being unfortunate to being in a Crowded House gig when this goes off.

That's a good one , forgot about that song

It's been a few years so it's only natural...

What are they going to go off to?

 

[WouldBe]

Your phone will explode

What if you take the battery off/out?

Ah now not thought of that one,I get back to you on that

I'll probably turn if off in my phone settings before the test then turn it back on afterwards - due to ASD I find loud sudden noises distressing, even down to stuff like my door buzzer.
I'm OK with having my phone make loud siren noises if there is something actually going on that I need to be warned about, but having it happen for a test will be upsetting and not strictly necessary, if I can opt out just for the test and turn it back on afterwards, I'll do that.

I work in a school where most of the kids have ASD. They're not allowed to have phones with them so the tutor rooms have a box of everyone's phones shut away in a drawer somewhere. At some point we're probably gonna get ten phones going off at once in every classroom, and probably panic and meltdowns all over the place. Joy of joys.

I have pure KI powder at work. What's the recommended dose? Two, three spoonfuls?

Oh, and iodine solution (which is actually solid iodine dissolved in a saturated solution of potassium iodide) very much does go off. Lasts six months at best.

Always pissed me off that culture shock's sing '4 minutes' was in fact 3'28"

Wait…..

Is your school opened on a Sunday?
This test is scheduled for 23rd April in the evening….

Well then. I'm glad they read my post and changed it to a more apposite time.

There’s a really loud warning siren going off near the park where I am at the moment, I know some of the old chemical works around here had sirens like this to warn of leaks etc. but pretty sure they’ve all shut down. Nobody seems arsed though, so probably a weekly test or something. I’ll let the kids carry on digging in the sandpit, if this is Armageddon then so be it.

I couldn't find any of these Russian partition maps but this comparison of population density was interesting.

A few Montanas there. is that why Russian SLBM submarine executive officers want to go there in an RV?...

I'd duck and cover. I mean a 1950s American Goverment cartoon turtle wouldn't lie to us would he?

Not sure hiding in a shell suit would help.

I wonder how many car crashes it causes?

Depends what time they do it?

There's still a WWII air raid siren somewhere near me and a few years ago the council decided to test it out. Did NOT go down well with the local oldies, refugees, and well, anyone really.

Some one during 2020 covid lockdown decided to sound an air raid siren while we clapped for the NHS
