Isn’t it the alignment of molecules in a material so that their electrical charges are all oriented in the same direction, thus attracting the opposite charged ions of other molecules in other objects towards the corresponding side of the magnet material? That’s why magnetism only affects materials like iron where the molecules naturally form in a uniform orientation during it’s transition from solid to liquid, and not other material that has a more random orientation.
I mean, I guess when you really boil it down, there may still be some question as to why positively charged ions are attracted to negatively charged ions in the first place. But then we’re getting into quantum mechanics which is way deeper of an answer than a grade schooler would be looking for and so far down the rabbit hole that making a claim like “we dont know how magnets work” is only true in the technical sense. And by that, I mean it holds as much truth as “we don’t know how anything works”.
I feel like there’s a lot of variables here. I am making some assumptions here, but as an example, I don’t think the hospitals in Gaza would have things like multiple MRI’s or CT Scanners that you would find in more developed areas. Those things require a pretty large amount of power. I know a lot of hospitals in undeveloped regions often only have one, sometimes none at all.
I think the only thing that can give some perspective is how big the diesel tanks are at the hospital. How much does 300L fill them? If that’s like a quarter or less of their total capacity, then yea, that’s not enough. But if that fills them by over half, then I kind of get it. You can only deliver so much at a time if you don’t want trucks of fuel parked outside the hospital, which just seems like a bad idea for many reasons.
Says he stepped away in 2018. Interesting to note that’s about when conspiracy forums took a hard turn right and went from “everyone is secretly out to get you” to “liberals are evil and the only uncorrupt bright spot in this world is conservatism and our lord, Donald J Trump.”
I guess the party just wasn’t as fun anymore after everyone stopped talking about aliens and started talking about things like The Storm™️. This isn’t a story of someone breaking free from Qanon or the Cult of Donald. This is an OG conspiracy theorist who saw his spaces get taken over by this new wave of partisan conspiracies and went “yikes, you guys are crazy! I’m getting out of here!”
“And now on the Democrat line, we have Bubba from Florida”
“Yea I’m one of them woke liberals and I think all us woke liberals need to get good with Jesus and start worshiping the one true savior, Donald Trump. Also, fuck them illegal immigrants that Sleepy Joe is letting im!!”
Let’s say 40% of people in the US will use a q-tip at some point during the course of a year. That’s 136 million people. 12.5K injuries would be .009%.
So again, rules written for a tiny percentage of people too fucking stupid to know not to jam them in as far as they can. And yea, kids are included in that. A lot of kids are fucking stupid.
None of this means that q-tips are remotely dangerous for anyone with even a small amount of common sense.
I think that’s why I could never fully latch on to atheism. To believe there is no power behind the universe is madness. Of course there’s a higher power! One whose power not only created the universe, but has determined it’s every action and outcome since creation. It is an absolute power, there is not a single atom in this universe that can go against it. It is omnipotent, it has already determined the future and it’s path can not be changed. It controls the thoughts, actions, dreams, and beliefs of every living being.
The funny thing is, for all the arguments and wars about religion, humanity has known about this God for over a millennia; and over the years our understanding of it has only grown. We even gave it an agreed upon name.
The only reason Solo flopped is because it came on the heels of The Last Jedi, which left a very bad taste in a lot of fans mouths. TLJ nearly brought the entire franchise to its knees. If it weren’t for the success of The Mandalorian shortly after, I think a lot of fans would have abandoned Star Wars entirely. If they had waited just 1 more year to release it, Solo would have been a much bigger hit.
Probability is a big one for me that I can’t wrap my head around because the rules just don’t seem to line up with reality. Like, if I roll a die 10 times and get 6 all 10 times, what is the probability of me rolling 6 again the next roll? It’s 1 in 6. But that’s insane. I just rolled 6 10 times in a row. That’s so wildly unlikely, it feels wrong that the odds I’d roll 6 again are only 1 in 6.
