I'm assuming they'll be clear plastic filled with the appropriate gas, which they totally won't fake. But, getting the letters and atomic weight stamped on the side of a mercury cube is a bitch!
Would be cool if they come some depleted stuff. But what you see there is what they have done so far.
Francium is super radioactive, explosive to a degree even scientists don’t know and has a half life spanning minutes. There in lies your challenge.
37 of the elements are considered radioactive and some are quite leathal after very short exposure to trace amounts. Additionally many of the synthetics exist in trace amounts. For example only about a gram of Berkelium existences.
I'd say that it's pretty obvious why the started in the middle. The halogen and alkali groups should be fun. Hell, even some of the ones you already have are kind of dangerous.
One thing i find really interesting is the densities. You know lead is dense and heavy. But since they are all the same size it really puts it into perspective when you pick them up.
Well, until you find out a lot of the core AWS infrastructure is in US-East-1… I think that’s why Disney+ is fucked up.
My last company used us-east-1. Then a hurricane (Sandy maybe?) knocked out the Virginia datacenter and we had users angrily complaining that our game wasn't working. Motherfucker, have you not noticed that half the internet isn't working? Why are you giving us, of all people, shit?
Still sitting on a bridge trying to get all of our services up and running. Since I'm WFH, it's now a race to see what happens first; AWS comes back up or I get shitfaced and pass out.
I can’t remember if it was Sandy or another one, but one of those major storms knocked out Level 3/CenturyLink and even AWS was all like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
::gloats in the superiority of "not my problem any more" as I sit here with my on-prem 128 thread, 64-core ThreadRipper, quad 3060 server in the other room as I work on non-production Skunkworks shit that has no need to rely on other people's shit. And if it does, it just means we get to take off early for the day. I had no idea not dealing with customers or Prod issues could be this liberating. The closest I get now is telling up-and-comers how wrong they are with their designs and their technical architecture process. And yes, while they're at it, they can get the fuck off my lawn.
Well sure, everything in life is better when you're not in prod. Prod is basically adulthood for computers; nothing but bills, responsibilities, and whiny children.
Prod is more like grandchildren… you get to play with it when it’s fun but can hand it back to the parents when they start whining.
