@BrentToderian Then what do we do if we want both?

> If a bullet is made of a conductive metal and the barrel is magnetic, the bullet will become an electromagnet as it moves down the barrel.
No, but your hinting at a truth...
When non-ferromagnetic material that is conductive moves through a field it is true eddy currents for and opposing magnetic fields form... However these fields would never cause the bullet to change its course, it would only cause the bullet to slow down. So it will not behave as you'd exect a magnetic material to behave.
In fact you can slow something down to such an exctent it will levitate freely above the magnet (if the magnet is the thing moving, such as a spinning magnet). Which further demonstrates it is not attracted tot he magnetic field but rather opposes it (in this case pushing away from the field.).
In other words the attractions and repulsion will only be enough to counter another force, and not enough to "move" the metal on its own in a direction contrary to its trajectory.
So yea, while seems you get the basic idea already its important to note the only real effect would be to slow down the bullet a bit and hit it up.
And yea the heating of the barrel would demagnatize it but I doubt my barrel is going to get anywhere near steels curie point.
@admitsWrongIfProven Great paper.. in fact it is theorized that neutrinos from a supernova may have caused some mass extinctions on earth.
@freemo I loved this one: https://what-if.xkcd.com/73/
Neutrinos are not something i can interact with in real life, but fascinating.
Daniel: You can see me?
Nick: Yes daniel, I can see you.
Daniel: Why didnt you say something?
Nick: You're not real, so it doesnt mean anything.
Daniel: No no no, Nick, Nick, I'm real, you're not hallucinating
Nick: Hallucinations always say that.

Woe to him who amasses what is not his and makes himself rich with many loans!
How long will this go on?’
Will not your creditors suddenly arise and those who disturb you awaken?
Then you will become their prey.

God no, the Nazis were as human as you get, thats the problem... be less human.
The human is the last thing I want to see in them.. I want to see the chimpanzee, thats where the real wealth lies.
Be more like your chimpanzee ancestors and less like humans!
It uses a EWMA type method and early estimations can be made from the larger more dominant spikes to allow for an early abort :)
Right the SNR needs to pretty much max out... some nasty slurs and racist shit ill block no matter how much signal though. Nothing pleasant will come of them anyway.
I block when
1) they often pop in out of nowhere
2) their SNR is very high.
Reminds me of the time @\p@shitposter.club started blocking people on his server after I jokingly said I had alts "somewhere"... he even made this huge scene accusing one of them publicly of being me and going "GOTCHA"... everyone laughed at the dude for months because it was so obviously not me.
I think its weird to join one of the least-blocking instances in the fedi with the intent to block as many people as he can find... but, hey, whatever makes him happy. Blocking isnt a crime either.
Work is when someone tells me to make him stuff, and if i do it they give me little IOU's that I am then allowed to use to buy back a portion of the things I just made for him. Those IOUs are even interchangable with other workers from other companies who get the same deal.
