They arrested this century’s Oppenheimer but they won’t arrest the CEOs of oil companies? The hypocrisy on display!
Too bad it’s not 1985. I heard in 1985 it would be available in every corner drugstore.
Nope. In 1985, your best bet for plutonium was connections from Libya. A guy named Doc Brown was my hookup, had a really nice DeLorean he was working on for a project of his…
#THE LIBYANS
How was he planning to get Oganesson?
Maybe he was oganessing a solution
Going down a Wikipedia Plutonium rabbit hole, I just realized that the Metropolis algorithm was named after a real person.
Dr. Metropolis sounds like a superhero
Spoliers: Dr. Metropolis is revealed to be a villain that was working against the heroes the whole time.
It’s Dr Manhattan at home
This nerd did nothing wrong, now they’re training him to be a hardened criminal
Here is how you get your hands on plutonium legally.
In both cases it may still be illegal to smuggle into the country and therefor you will need a local supplier after obtaining the proper license. The permit process asks you what amounts you will obtain and who the supplier will be even before permission is issued. The easiest and least harmful would likely be an ore containing trace amounts of a safer isotope. For higher purity you would need a refined product likely only available at government facilities and contractors.
Ever since the Nuclear Boyscout incident it’s been a lot harder to obtain radioactive elements without tons of paperwork and red tape, and for good reasons.
In Australia:
Permit to Possess Nuclear Material LINK HERE
in the USA:
Get a certificate to use depleted uranium under a general license LINK HERE
EDIT: You WILL have a surprise inspection and tbey WILL confiscate harmful materials if you don’t have a license and specific need for them, eg polonium.
It’s Discontinued. Dang.
This is the metal region, the non metal region, the metalloids are here and over here are the felonies.
They call them noble gasses, but I’ve never seen them owning land or anything that is typical of nobility.
It’s because they don’t do any fucking work
It’s not their fault. They are full and content!
I have to assume he’s working backwards, because if he’d gotten to Astatine we’d know.
I doubt he’s working backwards. Those heavier elements decay before you get halfway through blinking. And most of them kill while doing it.
most don’t, most will just give you poisoning from ingestion (or plain old indigestion), or in off case cancers, but that is not “kill” enough
The problem is that there are also lighter elements (like astatine) that decay so fast we can’t make enough at one time to even know what it looks like. Randall Munroe of XKCD gave a google talk where he covered the problems you would have if you tried to assemble all of the elements, and the problems really maximize around the time of astatine, which he described as the element which maximizes the amount of paperwork you’d have to do. The explosion of heat and radiation from a chunk of astatine would be too large to sweep under the rug as a little woopsie, but not large enough to wipe out your whole neighborhood or city so that there would be no one left to submit paperwork to.
(that was the joke, I think)
Well that’s stupid. In a couple of billion years he’ll have to get more!
if he had astatine, more like 20 mins
Wake me up when he has his vial of Francium ready.
Oh don’t worry, it will wake up the whole neighborhood.
Oh shit, this guy is trying to summon captain planet. He can’t be allowed to succeed.
God forbid men have hobbies smdh
Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest.
But what is the charge? Collecting the elements of a succulent periodic table?
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PLUTONIUM!
I was importing plutonium for a friend I promise!
IMO if you are willing to go/risk going to jail for some time best reasons are either stealing millions of dollars or murder. Nothing else is quite worth it
I guess the situation truly worthy considering for me would be getting paid millions of dollars for killing someone really and I mean really insufferable. Then I would seriously think about it
A friend of a friend is dating a dude in prison for being a hitman (needless to say she has terrible taste in men and we’ve told her that many times). He apparently accepted $7k to travel across the country to kill someone then travel again to Mexico to collect the payout, meaning probably like $6k all said and done, and all I can think is that’s way less than I ever would have thought one would accept for such a service, especially when I can’t even get a second car key included when buying a car for 2-3x that!
You think it’s too little because you’re not keen on the idea of killing someone in the first place. Would you take the money if instead of murder you just had to go attend a work meeting? Some people treat crimes just as casually as that.
They all think they are so smart and no one will ever find out while leaving traces all over. morons
Why does she date a loser that allowed himself to be catched for years for 6k, ask her. Terrible taste
You don’t date incels of crime but CEOs of crime
Tell her she can date me. I’ll commit a sex crime for her …:)
The fuck makes you think that’s an okay thing to say?
