  • If I’m standing next to a vampire and give them the shirt off my back, does my shirt turn invisible in the mirror when they put it on?

    If a vampire gives me their shirt, at what point does it become visible in the mirror?

    What if the vampire is wearing a rope- can they spool out a hundred feet of mirror-invisible rope as long as some is on their body?

    I feel there’s a ton of applications for vampires- optics use mirrors a lot, can they wear a vehicle/tank/ship/etc and make it invisible to optics that utilize mirrors?






  • 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 Maybe I’m out of date with how usable modern Linux distros are right out of the box, but for me I’ve always had to do some amount of terminal work, and I cannot imagine my boomer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.







  • 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.



  • 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)



  • 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.
