“she seems to be pretty callous with that hot particle.”
Genuine question from someone that doesn't understand. Is she exposing herself to more radiation than is safe? Is there a very high likelihood she's going to make herself sick? I watched this one this video and she seems to be pretty callous with that hot particle.
