oh fuk
Isn't science grand?
Yikes, the magnets...
So much for a tax return.
Thanks!
The supermagnets are really attractive, no?
A relation of mine has one for recharging their pacemaker.
You need some care with them, as you can get them stuck to cars or metal door frames without too much trouble. Oh yes, and that magnetic disk hard drive you had...... (just sayin')
Oh yeah, and the magnetic fluid for super - efficient bearings.
I've really got my eye on that, too.
Also, I'm considering getting one of those magnet rings. Just because I like magnets, and I could use it for cool tricks.
Why is the Uranium all sold out? I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the potential answers....
I admit it would be cool, but aside from the high density (don't temp fate, buy depleted uranium), I don't think I'd want any...
An yeah, I see why you're alarmed, was it isotope 238 they had?

PROTIP for everyone who hangs with the good Dr.: Only wear NON MAGNETIC body jewelery.
Several great target throwing tricks can be done with those, what did you have in mind?
Prestidigitation, mainly.
Magnify?
You know, like dexterity-based magic tricks, like pulling people's earrings out at a distance if they test me.
I follow. The magnet could be very useful for making things "disapear" to a reliable location.
Nothing shoots down the "Quarter snorting" trick I do now and again like acidentally droping one of the quarters.
I don't think quarters are magnetic, but you could easily glue a small magnet to any object you wanted to play with.
They aren't. Same idea could be done with other small objects of magnetic nature thou. I've already got about ten 1" steel ball bearings that would work, depends how bored I get.
Think ouija.
during elementary school we used to entertain the girls by moving a magnet on top of a desk by way of another magnet underneath the desk. then they got smart...and grew boobies.

Bad timing, eh?
not all bad..a few didn't get smarter.
well that was a dumb impulse buy.
I am now the proud owner of an 800 pound pull force magnet.
you should take one into a cheap jewelry store and warn the retail personel about your terribly strong cleptomania.

AWESOME!!! Let me know if it tries to kill you.
Browsing the chemical supply.
They have tungsten rods for those of the gauss rifle persuasion.
Sweet.
Say, any word on Faust's neodymium magnet?

Nice :wink:
But, for some reason, I'm more interesting in the Potassium chunks. :evil:
Get Cessium instead.

I looked, they don't have any. Potassium is their most reactive alkali metal.

yeah, i got a message saying there was no way to bring it here :( probably better off, what with this being a student house packed with technology.
Damn. That's just amazing how dangerous it must be.
I might ask in the college and see have they anything like it, because I would like to see how effective it is. they were probably just worried it would get stuck to the side of the ups van and never get here.

Not quite a pocket EMP, but it's be hell on ANYTHING with magnetic storage (possibly some without?) or an old fashioned monitor / projection tube.
Makes me glad the next Expandable / Expendible / Experimental computer I'm getting is all solid state drives.
I can just imagine the damage done by someone leaving one of those on a subway doorpost.
