Although bismuth-209 is now known to be radioactive, it has classically been considered to be a stable isotope because it has a half-life of approximately 2.01×1019 years, which is more than a billion times the age of the universe. Besides 209Bi, the most stable bismuth radioisotopes are 210mBi with a half-life of 3.04 million years, 208Bi with a half-life of 368,000 years and 207Bi, with a half-life of 32.9 years, none of which occurs in nature
God damn.

Insane.

Meanwhile, very few people are left who know how Linux actually works, which is why they had that massive outage last year; turns out adding over 100k iptables rules to every server in the data center is a bad idea.
