@unabomber Then you are clueless.. that is not an "ongoing civil war since 2014"... that was a nationwide protest that lasted 2 months in 2014 (february to be exact) that ended with having the result of kicking out the president of the time and a reenactment of the 2004 constitution...

Not remotely the description you provided suggesting an ongoing civil war, not even close. Even the protests over those 2 months were unarmed, so even then you cant call that brief time of conflict a civil war. It is more closely described as protestors being attacked since they didnt even take up arms.

@dmacphee

Vaccines work, not all vaccines work nearly as well as these.

Take flu vaccines (which are less effective, similar to covid vaccines).. they do work, they do reduce cases... But they can not and never will eliminate the disease or reach the 99% numbers we see from other vaccines.

This is important because we dont want people to have unrealistic expectations when it comes to the potential of vaccines. They should know that not all vaccines, in fact probably the majority, wont get you numbers like these.

Remember folks, anything that he disagrees with is trolling... lawl.

@TruthSandwich

@TruthSandwich If you want to claim everytime someone calls you out they are a troll so you dont have to admit your wrong (which you often are) ... go for it... You do like your ideological bubbles so im sure that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. Anything you gotta do to address reality I guess.

@TruthSandwich I think you mean winner-take all systems. I tend to agree they are better, but the idea that they are two-party systems is highly dishonest as we have countless examples of more than two-parties operating in winner-take all systems (including 8 such examples throughout US history).

calling it a two-party system is just a conspiracy theory attempting to oversimplify the reality in an attempt to control how people vote through propaganda.

@unabomber Funny, I have like 30 friends from all over ukraine and not one them know anything about a civil war... funny how facts can just be made up like that.

@robryk

No but sorta... If you raise the temperute to a certain point below the curie point but near it, then the magnetic susceptibility will go down. Near the curie point it starts going down abruptly, its a non-linear response.

So what does that really mean. It means if you have a strong magnet it will partially loose its magnetic field near, but blow the curie point, but will retain some magnetization. By repeatidly cooling and heating the material to the same temperature it shouldnt do any further damage... this all assumes there is no external magnetic field.

@Pat

The force due to the magnetic field developed is **always** opposite the direction the metal is moving and perportional to the velocity of the metal (assuming a fixed magnetic field). So it will always have the effect of slowing down the metal, it will never cause the metal to move backwards.

I am not sure what sort of ingredients are in this Ghost energy drink, but I am picking up subtle notes of plutonium in the flavor profile.

> 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.

@freemo

>"Thankfully copper and lead is not magnetic... If i am using iron bullets I deserve to get shot int he face :)"

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. The conductive bullet moving through the magnetic field of the barrel will induce currents in the bullet that in turn will create a magnetic field which will attract (or repel) the bullet to the barrel.

But it won't cause the bullet to turn around and come back though, obviously. If fact, lead is a diamagnetic material so when it is near a magnetic field, the induced magnetic field in the lead is reversed so it would repel from the barrel. (I think)

Also, after a few rounds, once the barrel heats up it should wipe out the magnetization in the barrel. However, the bullets could maintain some permanent magnetization after firing because they would be in a magnetic field while they were hot and quickly cooled. (Not sure about that, though.)

@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: 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.

-- Stargate SG-1

Interesting fact of the day:

During a supernova 99% of the gravitational energy (the energy binding the dying star together) is lost in the form of weakly interacting neutrinos.
