if that task is offloaded to spicy autocomplete, all and any learning of this skill is avoided, so it's not mega useful

sounds expensive, and also sounds like it would affect LNG exports. liquefying methane is a bottleneck in this business

ukrainian drones already washed out on shore once when musk shut off starlink during one of first crimea raids, i'm sure they account for loss of signal now

rolls over, gets taken out of the water, loses connection for some long time, gps indicates that it's on land, all of these suggest future reverse engineering and can be prevented easily

Maybe it has a sort of antihandling device just for this purpose

CsCl is also much less active per gram because about half of fission product cesium is stable (on top of longer halflife)

the source getting damaged or corroded somehow is the simplest explanation i can think of now, cesium is likely in form of chloride which is very easily soluble in water

or maybe it was intentional sabotage by competitor, who the fuck knows

The best known Chinese rodenticide, containing about 6–20% TETS, is Dushuqiang, "very strong rat poison". It has been used for mass poisonings in China: in April 2004, there were 74 casualties after eating scallion-flavored pancakes tainted by their vendor's competitor; and in September 2002, 400 people were poisoned and 38 died from contaminated food.[11][12] In 2002, there was one documented case of accidental poisoning in the US.[6]

some foods (and other things, like blood and some other medical products) are irradiated in order to sterilize them and make them last longer, 137Cs sources are used for this purpose because this material is easily available but can't be used for other purposes (like radiography)
