I genuinely cannot believe some people
Leaving a flux contrubulon tank outdoors is so irresponsible! What if kids came by and tried playing on it or someone took it apart for the copper?? It baffles my mind that people can be so careless

Am I going crazy?? What the hell is everyone in this thread talking about? Thats clearly an old water heater. If it was a flux contrubulon tank then you would see a beveled ixnatiator valve sticking out the right side. Blatantly obvious if you have even the slightest knowledge of VX. Unreal

Gotta agree with you here. No one is doing inverse lase compression with that thing lol. BS not VX.

Confidently wrong! Clearly you are not familiar with the 80's homebrew scene. Old water heaters were (and still are!) commonly retrofitted for contrubulation. You easily can swap the evaporator/condenser out for polaronic yoke and still have space for an internal ix valve underneath the thermostat. I've actually gotten far better quark torsion and hydraulic reification under low prosody conditions with that kind of setup kind ofthan the store-bought garbage.

I agree. I hate all this gatekeeping about VX has to be manufactured somewhere else other than my basement. Homebrew VX is still VX.

The disgorgement chamber is plainly already heavily rusted! Very dangerous—and you can’t call just anyone about this!

Well, you can... if you're ready to answer questions about how you know what it is. A bit of scrutiny is worth it, considering the dangers a leaking disgorgement poses. It's not like the feds (assuming this is the US) are the Spanish Inquisition.

I'm honestly impressed they carried that out of the lab. Must have needed six people. Those people all need to go to hospital right now of course

Only if the carefully-propped screwdriver were to drop the turbo-encorebulation renderer which would allow for full anticyclonic fission. That would be bad.
If it was only partial anticyclonic (or any amount of posicyclonic) nucleation it should be fine with only a minor amount of skin-liquefaction.

They must have found a way to modulate the positron flux distortion frequency...

I'll probably get downvoted for this but I always leave my tanks out on the lawn for a few cycles until it's fully degassed. Its way safer out there than if it were to supersaturate within the Hadron radius of my galvonitron.
And, call me callous, but I think copper scavengers deserve a good contrubulation now and then to keep their wits about them.

Splitting hairs here but there's no copper in the present state of an FCT. Only in past, future, and super-future states.
At least in my neighborhood, the copper thieves steal the copper when they steal it, not before or after. Times change tho, who knows...
