I remember this. I was once told that the gas alone probably cost $20,000 or more. If the magnet was damaged from warming up its far far more.

My initial reaction was that this wouldnt really happen unless it was a big chain. You shouldnt wear them in but a neclace or belt buckle is too small for that much force to be exerted. It would pull on it, but you can still pull it back if its small enough. Then I read the article, "a 20 pound chain" - holy shit! That could definitely yank you around. What a tragedy.

Also, "turn that damn thing off!" They literally cant. There is an emergency stop but it takes several hours for the energy to dissipate and it wont release in the time needed. MRIs are known to lift 500 pound hospital beds and crush people between them. The force is incredible. Normally for this reason there is safety protocols and the doors to the room are locked by passcode or badge access to prevent entries like this.

Sounds like the american way. Hide the problem in the name of profits rather than finding a real solution.

Note: am american, and hate this mindset

I live there and basically... Yeah. I mean, it feels like we are on a direct course for implosion.

Sorry the rest of you have to deal with our bullshit.

He was saying some agreeable things and got a lot of attention for it at the time. I'm not sure if he was hiding his real opinions back then or if they just got ignored. Ever since he got brain damage he's been acting like a guy with, well, brain damage... It's been obvious for a lot longer than his Mar a lago visit a month ago

There are a lot of people living in the united states who don't deserve to deal with this racist bullshit.

I just installed Linux and holy shit it is so much easier and more straight forward than a windows install. Really wish I would have done it sooner.

So my general understanding is that you can use a magnet to create an electrical current. Its like it pushes the electrons, like a paddle pushing water. So they coil a bunch of wire around a magnet and rotate the magnet, which moves the electrons in the wire and that gets you electrical power. But you need something to push that magnet around, so you attach that to a big ass fan and use steam to push the fan. That's your turbine. Nuclear power is just using a hot rock to make the steam. Hydroelectric power uses a river to push the turbine. Wind power is doing the same thing, just uhhh, with wind.
