Facepalm

The vibes I’m getting is that he is probably autistic and had no idea what he was doing. It comes across as more sad than anything.

I think I figured out the website he bought it from - I was trying to figure out how an American science website would have the stuff. It looks like you can get parts from Soviet smoke detectors with 239 that were smuggled out of the Soviet Union and that might be legal in the US? Sorta like how we used Americium over here (that’s how the nuclear Boy Scout slowly and sadly killed himself.)

My “plutonium” sample is a piece of “trinitite” - a piece of fused material from underneath the Trinity bomb tests. That would have been a smarter option.
