Citation needed. The junctions in cardiac cells make electrical signals propagate through them all, so acting independently isn’t something that’s normal. There’s two loops, but one pump. It’s a single system.

all the "positive effects" disappeared over time and i was just left with those meh ones

This is the case for every single drug I’ve tried over a long period of time, and one of my hobbies is treating Erowid like a Pokédex.

Bingo, he’s the fall man for the White House right now. If you view American politics under the lens of professional wrestling it makes a lot of sense. Musk is doing a heel turn so he attracts more flak on his way out.

a societal acceptance of the absence of free will removes the burden of guilt

Those cops, judges, lawyers, jail guards etc also don’t have free will, so while maybe the burden of guilt is gone, the legal repercussions still would exist all the same.

Yeah, this literally is how it works, like to a T.

I do appreciate how strong the magnets are. The force between a two 1cm square steel plates in a 2T field is about 159N or 36 lbs of force.

I do not think the contact area between parts of the trigger / sear etc and striker / whatever else are more than 1cm square, they’re also lubricated. Given the orientation of the pistol could also change, making the friction force less effective, I think it’s possible that a pistol is able to fire after being sucked into the MRI.

Most modern pistols are striker fired not hammer fired.

I’d venture a guess nothing out of the ordinary happens thanks to lube and springs. Gun fires.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from my weed growing hobby, it’s that nobody cares unless you’re doing it on a near industrial scale, like converting an entire floor or house to a grow.

A hot tub requires way more power than your average hobbyist grow op these days. I can’t imagine a reptile setup is requiring 10+ kWh/day (what a fucked unit that is btw)

Bet it has more to do with salt caking up and getting nasty appearing than anything else other than just a legal requirement. Also I think that’s a “best by” date not an expiration.

I have a single alarm set. I came to this after years of pointless snoozing.

If you need to get up at a certain time, get up at that time. If you don’t need to get up at a certain time, just turn off the alarm. Snooze is bullshit, fuck snooze. You gain nothing from snooze. If you really must lay around half conscious in bed, just set an alarm like an hour before the real alarm. I just don’t understand the multiple alarm people. Do you really gain all that much from turning off your alarm 6 times before you actually get up versus an entire hour to chill before the actual alarm?

I hate the sound of the alarm and I absolutely don’t want to hear it, or lay there anticipating it. One annoying ring of the alarm is all it takes, more annoying rings just make a shittier start to the day IMO.

Just about all fat gets digested and converted into sugar

This is not how lipids are metabolized. They are not converted to glucose right off the bat. Fats are broken down to monoglycerides to be absorbed, recombined to triglycerides and eventually chylomicrons, and transported to adipose tissue.

Whenever I try to Select Text, it only pops up a few millimeters at the bottom of the screen. I can pull it up a few more and copy the whole text and work with that, but this isn’t how it used to function. I can no longer see the text and select snippets from there to copy.

Is it possible to transfer favorite communities from an account on one server to another? Say for example I'd like to have an alt with the same favorites on another server for a backup. Is this possible with wefwef or other means?

Looking to get my main off lemmy.world to help load balance, but I don't want to refavorite everything; if I could somehow keep them in sync that would be ideal.
