In general, metallic orthopedic implants are not affected by MRI. 

This isn't an implant though. Massive difference.

ilikecoffee ,

Usually titanium, but yeah sometimes medical stainless steel. Both are non-ferromagnetic, especially titanium. These balls look like they could well be normal steel or any other metal. Also, implants - unlike these metal balls - are usually screwed firmly into your bones. So yeah, implants should be mostly fine on MRI. Loose balls of dubious metal? Wouldn't advise it. Keep in mind MRIs are literally powerful enough that metals in tattoo ink can even be an issue - which the article you linked mentions itself.

When... what? 😂

ilikecoffee ,

That only creates more questions 😅

ilikecoffee ,

Sorry, what exactly about Facebook marketplace? Too low prices, or too high? Or do you just mean the fact that theres no bidding on there? Haven't been on there in a while so not sure what the correlation is.

ilikecoffee ,

I have two twist-erase 3's and I've never looked back. I love them so much.

ilikecoffee ,

Yeah but with mechanical pencils you can buy one and have it for years, only just buying the occasional pack of leads... Saves the trees ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ilikecoffee ,

Or the twist erase

ilikecoffee ,

Uh.. The spoiler didn't work for me. Good thing I'm not in public 😂 Also - WTF? Why??

ilikecoffee ,

Why not just use searxng or startpage?

ilikecoffee ,

Some searx instances have Tor as well ¯_(ツ)_/¯ But yeah, fair enough. I personally wouldn't thrust a site with a massive dildo on the frontpage but to each their own haha

ilikecoffee ,

Sync for Lemmy, on Android. Tbh for some reason spoiler tags seem generally somewhat unreliable on Sync. Either way don't worry about it too much.

> hills

ilikecoffee ,

Yeah but uphill tho :/

ilikecoffee ,

Yeah that's what I end up doing sometimes on the long hills haha, it kinda sucks living in a really hilly city

ilikecoffee ,

I am speed

ilikecoffee ,

Lol the one guy in the comments saying it's fake... I mean it must be, right? We all know how Cybertrucks are famous for their excellent craftsmanship and design...

ilikecoffee ,

*Blimey

ilikecoffee ,

L- layers??

ilikecoffee ,

On Windows? AFAIK Windows eventually just gives you a "no space on desktop" popup... Never seen any layering.

ilikecoffee ,

Hide-the-pain Trump?

Buy plant, propagate, return plant, profit. They didn't say you cant do it at home, just not at the store...

ilikecoffee ,

Your mistletoe is no match for my TOW missile!

South Dakouttahere?

ilikecoffee ,

Well as they say, you can put lipstick on a pig...

ilikecoffee ,

Poopy ruse? Sounds about right..

So now I have to PAY you to NOT store files on my device that I don't want? ( lemmy.world )

Was trying to read a news story and... What fresh shitfuckery is this? Why do I now have to pay money to a company just for the privilege of not being spied upon and not getting your cookies that I don't want or need? How is this even legal? ...

ilikecoffee OP ,

Okay, but that's still a lot of effort, and loads more effort than 90% of users would be willing to go through. All so these fucks can (try to) sell my data to 19000 different 'vendors' and their 'legitimate interests'. I swear this needs to be legally regulated somehow before we end up having to pay these people to not monitor our webcams while we read their shitty tabloids.

BTW I do use searXNG and Startpage

ilikecoffee OP ,

Give me all the ads you want but at least give me the option whether they're personalised or not... Why is this now a paid choice? The companies get paid by the advertisers either way, right? I'm not expecting it for free but I don't like thousands of unknown companies tracking me thank you very much.

ilikecoffee OP ,

Oh I know, I clicked a link here on lemmy and was taken to that site. I never read it otherwise, but now Im definitely not reading it...

ilikecoffee OP ,

Oh, thats neat. Didn't know about that feature. Thanks :)

ilikecoffee OP ,

Yeah, I guess that's fair enough. Guess you can never fully trust these website owners anyway. That first part about clearing cookies on exit is definitely a good idea. But still, what has the internet come to..

ilikecoffee OP ,

Of course they do :/... Surely though, even with the previous free choice of general or personalised ads, I bet a decent few people still habitually clicked 'accept all', so I can't imagine this making that much of a difference financially... And this way they'll probably drive away some more privacy-savvy readers as well. Oh well, guess they wouldn't be doing it if it didn't pay off for them.

ilikecoffee OP ,

I'm on Sync. I might have a look later.

ilikecoffee OP ,

I mean, I'm not opposed to all cookies. Ones that I actually need like that one are fine. Just dont track me kthxbye...

ilikecoffee OP ,

Yeah... That's what I fear is that once one has started doing it, others will follow.

ilikecoffee OP ,

Ooh you can share settings like this? Whoa...

ilikecoffee OP ,

Yeah exactly!

ilikecoffee OP ,

The content of a website isn't an extension of your property.

No, but it is my property which is to be used to store files that this company has put there, just so they can track me across the web to sell me more crappy shit I do not need.

So exactly how should content (regardless of how trashy it is) be funded?

With ads, but either be good and use ads that arent spyware, or let me choose to opt out of the tracky ones and use general ads instead.

Meanwhile, not visiting websites that don't meet your vision for how funding content should be done seems like a perfectly simple and reasonable approach to have for this problem.

Yup, hence why I noped outta there as soon as I saw that popup cause fuuuck that...

ilikecoffee OP ,

True, but shouldn't I be able to use it if I want to without having to choose between paying money or being spied on?

ilikecoffee OP ,

Well, the fact that when there are ads, there's always like 20 of them is another issue... But yeah, I don't even care about ads but as I see it I should have a right to privacy without having to pay for it.

ilikecoffee OP ,

Hm yeah perhaps. I clicked away too fast to try it 😅

ilikecoffee OP ,

Hey, my phone has 12Gb of RAM for a reason, and bookmarks are scawy...

ilikecoffee OP ,

There's gotta be a company address somewhere haha

ilikecoffee OP ,

Hm... Was gonna try Arkenfox one of these days tbh.

ilikecoffee OP ,

I'd be surprised if it was just the business department...

ilikecoffee OP ,

Why do I need to sell my data? Cant I just have ads?

ilikecoffee ,

I thought Cinnamon and Mate were different things... /s

ilikecoffee ,

Oh haha, didn't realise that pun was intended... But yeah thats right :)
