This is why the Egyptians had stone walls and ceilings, and ran the water pipes far away… 🤷

This guy maths the math…

Meh, I was playing with magnets in kindergarten. Supervised of course though, both at home and in school, but even if I wasn’t supervised, I never felt the urge to eat them (or eat Lego or other random non-edible stuff for that matter).

Magnets are a strange wonder that tends to perk our natural human curiosity. While I totally agree that kids shouldn’t handle magnets unsupervised, still the kid was 13?! I’ll never understand it, but there is the condition called Pica, basically the urge to eat random non-food items…

I have no idea really, but bigger questions come to mind, like does the kid already have a history of eating stupid things, why did they eat so many, how did the kid order them from Temu, did the parent(s) approve the order, how did they get into New Zealand where they’re apparently banned…?

🤷

At least the kid is still alive. 👍

Ah, yeah I get what you mean by toys, yeah they can definitely be fun to play with, responsibly though!

The kid is lucky to be alive, but they just had to learn an obvious lesson the hard way huh? 🤦

The 5mm x 2mm magnets had attached and aligned in 4 distinct rows, in different areas of the intestines, and the rows had attached to each other between the different areas of the intestines, causing some intestinal necrosis which had to be removed as well.

I’m pretty sure they weren’t magnets within toys, but rather just the plain magnets by themselves. Neodymium magnets no less, the powerful modern ones.

Kinda helps to read the article yo, but yeah the kid did a real dumdum there, almost like they were looking for the most excruciating Darwin Award.

And he’ll forever be known as the magniot, aka magnetic idiot. 🤦

You’re right, let me go mark the calendar…

Are they sure the opossum was dead? I’ve literally seen one play dead for over a week on the side of the road before…

With that said, I have never felt the urge to defecate on roadkill…

Ya know, I think human brain cells work best in their own human heads. Maybe that’s just me though…

Don’t worry about magnetic screwdrivers, the drives themselves have way stronger magnets for the head arm actuators.

Glad you found the failing drive though 👍

Interesting approach, makes sense.

Coming from automotive repair and using a section of hose to narrow down sounds.

Too bad she didn’t shit in his bed… 💩

Hell with donating, I wanna get paid!

Tapes can have long term issues in storage, as the tape reel winds will eventually start to bleed over magnetic signals from one wind to the next.

In analog world, they call it tape hiss. In digital world, with good error correction, it can last a long time, but is still ultimately prone to data corruption, eventually…

I recommend a video surveillance rated multi terabyte hard drive, they’re designed to run 24/7. I have two 4TB Seagate Skyhawks.

Save the machine state after you get it booted up and configured. Host+T

Don’t feed the trolls. OP’s account is apparently just barely over an hour old, and all their posts are hateful.

Report them and move on, I already have. When the mods check, I’m sure they’ll deal with it quickly.

In B4 the mods delete and ban OP…

Ah, gotcha.

I searched the text of the article for 117, zero results found.

Okay, can we get the facts straight OP?

Is it $17 billion or $117 billion?

The article says $17 billion, but you typed $117 billion in the post body…
