How hard is it to get a 1kg block of uranium?

>Ferro Tungsten Price 23.12 USD/kg (20.49 EUR/kg) 31 Mar 2016

CAP'N, SET JEWING MODE TO "OVERDRIVE"!

Warning: This cube may induce astonishment, endless questions or envy among your friends.

>work at forgesolid

Tungsten is actually quite expensive. Not $300 expensive, but expensive.

Why would you want something like this

...

etsy.com/listing/242031863/tungsten-cube

You know you're a sack of shit when etsy has better prices than you.

Personally I find perfect geometrical figures with a nice heavy feel rather soothing. Of course I wouldn't pay $300 for a fucking cube, but I enjoy a nice, sturdy cubic box for example.

>Ferro tungsten

It's not perfect.

Tfw a nice dodecahedric mass of sodium

get yourself a zippo lighter or something

my wedding ring is tungsten

>insert wife's son joke here

You are now on every list

I want one.

amazon.com/Images-SI-Uranium-Ore/dp/B000796XXM

not that hard.

it'll cost more than $300, at least.

I would definitely get a Zippo over a cube. But realistically I wouldn't get either.

If it really is extremely accurately measured it would be lab-usable. That would explain the cost.

To be used in a lab, it would need a certificate of quality and at the very least 0.01 microgram precision, which I am fucking sure it is not.

i'd probably pay 50 dollars for that cube and keep it on my desk because there is something really soothing about having a heavy piece of machined metal to fondle.

I kinda want one....
It looks so...cuby...

This is why we need socialism

>$487,000 funding on kickstarter to go buy some tungsten cubes off alibaba.

What a time to be alive!

Socialism will just drive the price of tungsten cubes up.

This is why we need heavily regulated capitalism.

It will only drive the quality of cubes down.
That's why we need anarcho-syndicalism.

I'm jealous. I wish I thought of it first.

You have to order at least 150 for that price

They got half a million in backing. That's not a problem at all.

*incredible conversation starter*

buy now

>worth a fraction of the cost
>b-but it's still an expensive metal

>incredible conversation starter

How does alibaba even exist?

Are there really that many people who want to buy counterfeit shit and die in a house fire they started because they wanted to save $0.02?

"Tungsten is one of the densest metals on earth, but also one of the most fickle and unruly. By taming such a stubborn element into the perfect cube, we created a product so unusual, so remarkable and so astonishing that merely holding that it sparked a sudden outpouring of demand amongst our friends. They weren't always sure why, but they wanted one those damn tungsten cubes."

I WANT ONE OF THOSE DAMN TUNGSTEN CUBES!

Alibaba is mainly for buying bulk raw goods and other shit.
Aliexpress is for the people you mentioned.

This is the type of bullshit guys in marketing departments jack off to.

You need to understand that the minimum wage worker only has a small share in the net total effort required to manufacture the cube.

retards gonna retard

>but also one of the most fickle and unruly

That's not how fucking metal cubes work you capitalist whores

>Hey, Bob bought a cube for 300 bucks!
>Bob sure is fucking stupid, huh
>Yup
>Yup
>Yup

Someone tell the chinks on aliexpress to make one for $12.

For lab use, try something more along the lines of ONE MIlLION EUROS:
youtu.be/ZMByI4s-D-Y
TL;DW: a sphere with a specific number of atoms of silicon 28, since the density of atoms is exact throughout and it's an absolute sphere, you can tell its weight and volume just by measuring the diameter.

The fundamental problem in the US is that while productivity has increased the workers share of earnings has not gone up proportionally and in fact stagnated.

Lower minimum wage than cost of living is just a handout to corporations. Tax payer programs subsidize what those people need to live for their employer.

You don't use that in a lab.

the fundamental problem is that demand for labor, especially unskilled labor, has crashed through the floor in the past several decades, while the supply of it has continued to build.

This. People need to understand that the era of unskilled labor is slowly coming to an end and adjust themselves accordingly.
This is why free university is such a good idea.

For destroying tanks

>$130

So what is someone like me who is incapable of learning a skill supposed to do?

Get over yourself and do it anyway. Or starve, one of the two.

Do they have one made with 100% sodium or potassium?

*free tradeschool
The vast majority of people in university should not be there. There's tons of demand for vocational jobs like electricians, plumbers, radiology technicians, etc. but nobody to fill them because NO I WANNA BE AN ENGINEER! AND AN ENGLISH MAJOR! I WANNA BE THE BIG DOCTOR!

>get over yourself

You act like I haven't even tried to learn a skill its just not possible for me ans I'm 29 so I'm too old for college and fuck the military I can't go almost a year with little to no computer access

Stop psyching yourself out and put effort in. Some people need to put in more effort than others to get the same result. That's life. I have Type 1 Diabetes; I have to check my blood sugar 7-8 times a day and give myself shots, otherwise I fucking go blind. but I deal with it, many people do, and you need to stop being such a retard and deal with your shit too. Some have it harder than others, that's life

I would be bad at every single one of those things

How do you know? Everybody since the mid 80's has been conditioned to think that they're all amazing and great and absolutely have to go to university.
I bet you'd be just as good at vocational school as you are in university.

>not a tankie or an ancap

You have no idea how much of a breath of fresh air you are.

I have not been to university at all cause I would be bad at that as well I am this person I am just not good at anything and would rather just keep working my min wage jobs till I die at around 45 anyway

>>fickle and unruly
A metal that if you melted and poured on lava, the metal would freeze. This is used in the plating of tanks that they want to survive depleted uranium rounds. if there is a substance that gives no fucks, it's tungsten. It just takes a bit to melt and machine, but it is not glass. Holy god I want to strangle me an office of scam artist.

Bump

You're both a bunch of wimps is what you are, unless you're a mentally damaged retard you can learn basic skills to put you above minimum wage.

>Warning: This cube may induce astonishment, endless questions or envy among your friends

Those are both me and I don't want to be over min wage I want to stay low risk high time off with enough money to keep the bills of a single man under control why is this wrong?

No really, do you have a condition?

>Envy
Imagine all those people out there who aren't your friends, I wish I could be any one of them

Lawn maintenance and horticulture are skills.

You shouldn't believe everything they show you in your American movies about the Chinese, you know.

I copied that sentence from their website

He was posting the reactions people would have calm down

I know, just imagining the friends of the guy who actually buys this, shoulda used more meme arrows

>not a cube

>free university

More like free bullshit. People already have access to endless knowledge in the form of the internet. Buying a couple of pdf textbooks and following the set univercity curriculum is not an endeavour it is. Not to mention universities like Berkley who put out all their lectures online. You lazy pieces of shit do not deserve free university because you have no drive or will to learn and would rather spend your days masturbating and playing angry birds.

For a huge chunk of university coarses the internet has made physical universities and colleges a fucking joke. I understand chemistry where you actually need the lab and chemicals to be present. But everything else is pretty much an exercise in burrying yourself in dept.

they also sell kilo copper spheres for $100 that you hold in your hand to become healthy

kickstarter.com/projects/trancemetals/trance-sphere-oligodynamic-copper

to be fair I would pay $300 for a cube of electrum

Skilled labour doesn't fare any better. There's already enough engineers out of work. There is simply no demand.

Those product reviews are gold

>I got a free cat in the box with this purchase but I'm not sure if I should open it to see if the cat is ok.


>I left this product next to my pet lizard, unfortunately now he's 350ft tall now and is currently destroying Tokyo, Japan.


>I thought I was ordering Uranium 235. This stuff is not fissionable and not at all appropriate for building a death ray or small nuclear reactor.


>I purchased this product 4.47 Billion Years ago and when I opened it today, it was half empty.
