For decent folks that’s a distinction without a difference. Or at least it can be treated as one. I don’t give a fuck if someone is genuinely a holocaust denier, or if they’re just being “edgy,” either way they’re a piece of shit.

MRIs work because strong enough magnetic fields will interact with any material, not just ferrous metals. This can be impacted by the structure said materials form (stents are a weave like a finger trap and therefore more prone to interaction with magnetic fields than say a solid cylinder) but I’d be inclined to say your friend was lucky. Ball bearings like in the OP are nearly always steel outside of specific high end applications and therefore would behave like they were coming out of a shotgun shell.

I was told that because I have stents (plastic coated with platinum) I can never get an MRI again by my cardiologist.

A friend who makes knives felt the little bits of metal that he’s picked up in his skin over years of grinding blades getting pulled out of him during an MRI.

Maybe aluminum foil in your pocket would only “interfere with the scan,” but those magnets are powerful enough to make any metal in your body come out, violently.

Family of Secrets is such a goddamned mindfuck. That plus Chaos (about the ties between MKULTRA and Charles Manson) made my summer a few years back real freaky.

I think it’s more about group density. 1,000 people in an auditorium is “hey y’all,” 100 people at a park is “hey all y’all”

“Hey y’all!”

Texas may have more (far, far more) than it’s fair share of problems, but y’all is gender neutral and works both as singular and plural.

Okay, I admit it. I don’t have friends.

I know it’s a shitpost, but…

As cool as they might look, imagine trying to keep those things clean. Just constant vacuuming.

It’s the name of the stadium ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Oh man, what would I ever do if I met someone who I enjoyed spending time with so much that 25 years in I still wanted them living in the same house I do and going to special events with me? I might fuck around and find out I’ve become happy.

Yeah, the guy had a real fetish for surrounding himself with smart people, especially considering he was (based on the evidence in the files that have been released so far) a remarkably dumb person.

I was being like 99% facetious and the 1% serious has more to do with how eMacs updates are distributed as compared to Notepad++. To your point, any non-vetted packages would be a huge source of risk, and even vetted packages should be monitored.

eMacs wasn’t compromised!

It looks like there was some weird drama around her but I couldn’t find any details other than some vague claims about death threats.

One of the many calls of the void I experience frequently.

Frankly, no one should forgive variety for this. Their coverage of Sinners has been racist drivel from jump.
