You can just buy it at the appropriate gas supplier, my local university used to sell it. If your parent was a nerd or a welder it would be fairly easy, it can just be expensive getting an appropriately sized dewar if a thermos isn’t big enough for your usage (or if you can’t find someone willing to sell you only a thermosful, which is admittedly a little dangerous)

My physics department had a spigot coming out the wall and sheet with the number of liters you poured yourself. It was about the price of milk.

This is exactly correct. The nerd/hacker acorn doesn’t fall far from the nerd/hacker tree.

Same reason I had a spare 286 lying around

My university was the only place in my city that had a plant for liquid nitrogen so they supplied all the hospitals. They also were pretty cool about giving it out, so you could do diy ice cream or minor cosmetic procedures.
