this is doing almost no numbers whatsoever so I should probably provide some context

if you've ever been in the radiology area in a hospital, they have all manner of Ominous Signs. There'll be like a big X-RAY IN USE sign that lights up when an xray machine is active. The MRI doesn't have an "in use" sign because it can't be turned off, so instead there's a glowing MAGNET ALWAYS ON sign which is itself Always On

I find this extremely funny. Also my job is building simulators for various medical imaging technologies so despite no actual medical background I've ended up becoming The Gamedev Radiology Guy

at some point I was like "I wish I had a MAGNET ALWAYS ON sign in my apartment" and then I discovered that they're not hard to obtain lol

I've got some of the warning signs from the room the 7-tesla superconducting magnet for the Fourier-Transform Ion-Cyclotron-Resonance mass spectrometer used to be in. I've got one up next to my "Danger: Argon / be back later" sign in my home office room.

My dad has an X-RAY IN USE sign that used to be in the hospital where he worked. He currently has it hooked up behind his desk, in view of the camera for Zoom calls. Occasionally, when a call is coming to an end he'll turn it on with a remote and claim he has to leave because of the radiation.
