Can I get some vintage radium, plutonium, graphite, boron, and a 50's energy research grant?

I'd personally prefer the 50's government-supplied housing for scientists, but sure, the grant would be nice too.

If you get them from OnlyFans, there is a non-zero chance they may come with STDs, too.

I was made to work on vintage oscilloscopes as an undergrad and trust me, you don't want that

I bought a '60s VTVM recently. It needs mains voltage, uses two vaccuum tubes, and does less than my $15 Aliexpress digital meter while taking 48 times the space, but golly it's nifty.
