Also, the fissile material has been radioactively decaying for decades and should no longer be refined enough to go critical.

Goodwill is particularly bad about this. You can almost never find cool stuff in the stores anymore. It's all siphoned off for ShopGoodwill.

It was definitely one of my luckiest finds, but I think another part of it was that it was a pay by weight bin outlet. A St. Vincent De Paul in my case. Stuff isn't individually priced and you weigh your items on a scale when you check out and pay by the pound. It's usually very cheap because mine has a maximum of $5.00 per item so even heavy things like typewriters have been cheap.

I much prefer bin outlets because of this.

I got a green one too from the 60s. This red one is from the 50s.

I rebuilt the red one and did the exhaust putty mod on the fuel/air mix tube so it wouldn't smell during use.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten the new valve stem to stop leaking yet.

Coleman fuel is closer to naptha or gasoline without additives. Kerosene isn't voltatile enough so it would be hard to start. They did make models that ran on kerosene, but they had a preheater cup at the bottom of the generator tube that you'd fill with alcohol and light to preheat the generator to help the kerosene evaporate.

You could build one yourself for a fraction of the price with a trip to your local home improvement store. Even starting without tools, it would be cheaper.

Exactly, 10% of a billion dollars is one hundred million. That's more than enough to live a cushy stress free life without ever working again if you're not an idiot blowing it all on dumb shit.

That puts you in the same net worth bracket as a lot of celebrity actors and musicians.

GIMP supports WebP now.

Your car can last 20 years or longer if you take care of it. I scrapped my 04 Honda Pilot this year after the rust got to be too much trouble.

Is it possible to mod Bethesda games on Linux?

Yes, it's been known for a while how useless they are. The FBI had undercover agents smuggle explosives through TSA checkpoints and they succeeded most of the time.

2G is dead in most places

Battery technology will be improved. Look at how much better today's lithium ion batteries are than the NiCad batteries of the 90s.

At some point, we'll develop something that doesn't wear out for tens of thousands of charge cycles.

This one in particular is one of the later 50s models that does direct subtraction. The earlier ones don't have the updated mechanism and you have to clear the unit to switch between subtraction and addition which makes them less useful for this.
