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.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from my weed growing hobby, it’s that nobody cares unless you’re doing it on a near industrial scale, like converting an entire floor or house to a grow.

A hot tub requires way more power than your average hobbyist grow op these days. I can’t imagine a reptile setup is requiring 10+ kWh/day (what a fucked unit that is btw)

Bet it has more to do with salt caking up and getting nasty appearing than anything else other than just a legal requirement. Also I think that’s a “best by” date not an expiration.

I have a single alarm set. I came to this after years of pointless snoozing.

If you need to get up at a certain time, get up at that time. If you don’t need to get up at a certain time, just turn off the alarm. Snooze is bullshit, fuck snooze. You gain nothing from snooze. If you really must lay around half conscious in bed, just set an alarm like an hour before the real alarm. I just don’t understand the multiple alarm people. Do you really gain all that much from turning off your alarm 6 times before you actually get up versus an entire hour to chill before the actual alarm?

I hate the sound of the alarm and I absolutely don’t want to hear it, or lay there anticipating it. One annoying ring of the alarm is all it takes, more annoying rings just make a shittier start to the day IMO.

Just about all fat gets digested and converted into sugar

This is not how lipids are metabolized. They are not converted to glucose right off the bat. Fats are broken down to monoglycerides to be absorbed, recombined to triglycerides and eventually chylomicrons, and transported to adipose tissue.

What’s the point of a garbage disposal if you can’t put food in there? You don’t need that to make liquids go down the drain.

Closing the flapper stops the water in the tank from going into the bowl.

This is completely unnecessary IMO. You stop the water in the tank from going into the bowl by not continuing to flush a clearly clogged toilet. There’s no issue with the flapper in this scenario and it will automatically seal in a few seconds from water pressure.

Just shut the water off.

Right, I am aware of all this. Just shut the water off and go to the plunger steps.
