I have reached the point in the exploration of Eurorack modules that this link to a uranium-based CV generator seems like a good idea.

The cost is more than I can justify, but my searches indicate that it takes a lot more uranium to make you sick than I would have guessed.

@icecreamjonsey Uranium is only slightly more radioactive than dirt, go for it!

@icecreamjonsey Overhyped for billions of years. Get over yourself uranium. Oklo was a long time ago and those days are never coming back.

@mcmartin uranium is so lame that its stable decay product is at least as toxic. it's so lame that when Marie Curie chemically removed it from uranium ore, it got _more_ radioactive.

@mcmartin Yeah, the storefront page advises potential customers to not open the glued-shut container for presumably that reason. Honestly, my goal if I do this will to become the "Geoff Downes of Not Tongue-Bathing His Synth Before the Show" which, upon reflection, might just already be Geoff Downes.

The only thing stopping me from making a uranotype print is the idea of handling powdered uranium / uranyl nitrate
