minus-squareonyxjet@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·14 days agoSir why do you have 5.35kg of liquid mercury?
minus-squareLostXOR@fedia.ioOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·14 days agoI’ve always wanted some, and an opportunity to purchase it arose. Set me back almost $500 but it’s a pretty good deal considering how hard it is to get ahold of.
minus-squareinfeeeee@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·14 days agoWhat will you do with it? Or is it just a trophy to brag about to your geek friends on the internet?
minus-squareLostXOR@fedia.ioOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·14 days agoI’m planning to make small ampules of mercury and sell them to recoup some of the cost. But yes, the cool factor was a big part of it. :P
