Police officer's gun sucked away by powerful magnets in lab raid in c/nottheonion

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (7 children)

If you fired a gun past an MRI machine, could it conceivably catch the bullets? I am currently assuming that significant deflection is absolutely possible with such a powerful magnet.

Yes, that's exactly what I thought I had implied.

"It's not rocket surgery."

This one irks me. Combination of "rocket scientist" and "brain surgery".

I remember this thread! Before I saw this comment, I had already gone to look it up again:

I abhor those Temu YouTube ads.

Good point. She commutes a few days per week, but I'm 100/% work from home. Can't say I miss commuting.

Removing "Season Unknown" with no episodes (lemmy.ca)

submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I recently added some files to my Jellyfin instance, and some of them had their metadata scraped incorrectly. This was no big deal, they weren't named very well. These files ended up being displayed in a "Season Unknown" season of the show. So I fixed the names, and the files' metadata was corrected automatically. However, the "Season Unknown" remained, with no media displaying in it. I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Anyone have any ideas?

Massive spam account wave? (geddit.social)

Stux from geddit.social think that the massive recent wave of ~100k new Lemmy accounts is likely mostly spammers. Captchas suck, but are they better than the alternative?
