No head?
Faintly glowing?
Mr. Ballen featured this story a few years ago if you want to hear a dramatized version: https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=403&v=8MpR4k3-edc&feature=youtu.be

yesman: please write a short response to this article in the voice of a libertarian
GPT: sure, I'll be happy to do that:
Just another case of power hungry government trying to tell citizens what they're allowed to do with their own body. They killed a whole industry just because one guy had a side-effect.
With this new tech, we can have annoying libertarians in our pocket at all times.

If only it was just that 1 dude
I cannot imagine the pain of your fucking skull disintegrating.
Wonder if it destroyed his nerve ending at the same rate. One can only hope.
"His head was swathed in bandages. He had undergone two successive operations in which his whole upper jaw, excepting two front teeth, and most of his lower jaw had been removed. All the remaining bone tissue of his body was slowly disintegrating, and holes were actually forming in his skull.".
Not just his skull, too. That's horrifying.

The jaw is part of the skull, still horrifying though, hard agreement there.
Thank you for the agreement. But next time read the entire reply before trying to correct someone.
People out here skimming
Motherfuckers trying to skim uphill.
Jaws are part of the skull
All the remaining bone tissue of his body was slowly disintegrating
My high school drama group did Radium Girls last year. Really good play, the movie is mediocre though. Check out a production if you get a chance.
I read about it several years ago. It's fascinating and sad
This is some Fallout Nuka-Cola shit.
These kinds of stories are exactly where Fallout themes came from.
That story is a wild ride.
If by that you mean, "wtf?!" I agree.
Radium stands for radically yummy
I always buy Ray-D-YUM brand radium!
Makes one wonder about the content of that "Radium Girls" book.
It is based on real people. Those girls are why many of the labor laws we have in the US exist.
And their jaws literally desintegrated. And they still had to fight for their bosses to change anything. Also, the non-toxic alternative was only slightly more expensive.
