I don’t understand. A 5.56mm round has a .223 bullet. .223 is the caliber and is in inches already, no math required. .223 / 100 =0.00223 which isn’t particularly useful.

Having worked for the government, I assure you there is absolutely waste happening on a huge level. One time I threw out about $50k of lab equipment calibrators that someone clearly bought a ton of at the end of the year to use their whole budget so they didn’t lose it the following year.

Nobody suggested reworking how budgets work though, so clearly the mission was not to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse.

government programs are usually forced to operate with absolutely minimal funding

Not the military, that’s a massive source of expenditure. That’s where I saw the waste happening.

To be clear - I do not disagree. OneDrive sucks and Microsoft is a greedy piece of shit company.

However, do you think he would be better off with Linux? Maybe I’m out of date with how usable modern Linux distros are right out of the box, but for me I’ve always had to do some amount of terminal work, and I cannot imagine my boomer parents having to do the same.

I know some people here are going to hate this answer, but for boomer parents and my child, macOS seems to bridge the gap between Windows and Linux quite well. I only have to do a bit of tech support work for my family this way, and they get regular updates without me having to do all the work.

Who has actually encountered this? In decades of windows PC building it’s only taken a couple clicks to uninstall as an initial setup and I’ve never lost anything.

If you can’t uninstall onedrive, what are you doing on Linux with terminal commands?

Citation needed. The junctions in cardiac cells make electrical signals propagate through them all, so acting independently isn’t something that’s normal. There’s two loops, but one pump. It’s a single system.

all the "positive effects" disappeared over time and i was just left with those meh ones

This is the case for every single drug I’ve tried over a long period of time, and one of my hobbies is treating Erowid like a Pokédex.

Bingo, he’s the fall man for the White House right now. If you view American politics under the lens of professional wrestling it makes a lot of sense. Musk is doing a heel turn so he attracts more flak on his way out.

a societal acceptance of the absence of free will removes the burden of guilt

Those cops, judges, lawyers, jail guards etc also don’t have free will, so while maybe the burden of guilt is gone, the legal repercussions still would exist all the same.

Yeah, this literally is how it works, like to a T.

I do appreciate how strong the magnets are. The force between a two 1cm square steel plates in a 2T field is about 159N or 36 lbs of force.

I do not think the contact area between parts of the trigger / sear etc and striker / whatever else are more than 1cm square, they’re also lubricated. Given the orientation of the pistol could also change, making the friction force less effective, I think it’s possible that a pistol is able to fire after being sucked into the MRI.

Most modern pistols are striker fired not hammer fired.

I’d venture a guess nothing out of the ordinary happens thanks to lube and springs. Gun fires.
