At least leave your windows open. Firemen will break them if need be, and you have the added inconvenience of not being able to move the vehicle until the hoses are rolled up after the fire.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I wonder what a cube of Radon would look like?  Or Clorine?

If they were frozen, then a cube could be manufactured - so long as the temperature was kept cold enough.  I, for one, would not want to be the one to let the freezer fail on the chlorine cube!

I'll bet they don't have a U-235 cube available!

The Osmium cube would weigh 1.57 lbs.

Where is that bus stop?  Some liquid nitrogen and a hammer, and that money is as good as mine.

I'd take an acetylene torch and cut it off at the supporting flange.  Then I can take it home and perform anything I want to in a shop.  Diamond saws work for this.

Here's more info.  It isn't the glass, but a film applied to the glass.

Liquid nitrogen would have worked.  So would an acetylene torch directly on the glass surface.

My personal favorite is thermite, but that would have burnt up the money too.

Actually, I would have heated it with the torch, then the liquid N2, then the hammer, but GMTA...
