Cut a one-foot length of food-grade vinyl tubing. You can get 10 feet for $5 on Amazon

Relatively stiff but flexible, and can be sanitized with boiling water. I've been using it for a while and it's great!

Feel like I could have written this comment except I have a Mazda and not a Jeep.

I got a box of these little cigarette butt pouches that do a nice job of keeping the ashy stank out. If I was out somewhere without a trash can nearby I’d just keep the butts stashed in my back pocket and usually need to wash them after. These little pouches help a ton and they’re pretty cheap.

I bought a Sony DVMC-DA2 Digital Media Converter in 1999 and only ever used that one. It was amazing.

I'm sure there are much cheaper options available today, the one downside to the Sony box is that it uses Firewire which I don't think much computers come with now-a-days

This is what you want. They are called jiffy pellets and they're brilliant. I've started seeds and planted entire vegetable gardens with these things. They make seed starting and transferring a breeze.

Pocket chainsaw, if you're interested.

You ever heard of the gold rush? People still sell literal bags of dirt for decent money even today (quick example) If you’re mining in a gold mine and gold skyrockets then you’re gonna want to get every cent you can out of it.

The red cord is attached to a clip called a kill switch, which cuts the motor when the rider falls off.

When he reached out to touch the ship, it unclipped and he lost power, so couldn't manouver himself away from the ship

Modern MRI magnets are coils of superconducting wire that are bathed in liquid helium... that's... a lot more trouble than it's worth going through here.

Though I guess you could find one of those old several ton permanent magnets they used to use (or sometimes use in those shittier "open MRI" machines). Even if you could get someone to sell it to you, expect a price tag in the tens of thousands range - the salvage price of the metal is already high enough up there, and transporting it is going to be an absolute bitch.

You'd be better off buying one of those heavy neodymium magnets from Amazon or eBay that have a several hundred pound load capacity. This guy is advertised at 1700lbs.

And I wouldn't even advise that, since high power magnets of any shape or size are actually fairly dangerous just to have lying around and are going to be shit at pulling nails since, you know, they're magnets and not the Magneto from the X-Men or whatever you're expecting to happen here. A magnetic nail puller would need to have an exceptionally high field strength in a very small area, which practically precludes permanent magnets and would require high enough currents to be both lethally dangerous and extremely awkward to maneuver around.

This would be very wrong. Cruel and unusual punishment. Torture. A thousand-year sentence in 8 hours does nothing for us that other forms of torture available to us don't already do.

I can see the appeal for people who think the purpose of prison is to make people feel punished. This would do the trick. I think the main benefits we get as a society from having prisons are to incapacitate dangerous psychopaths (keep them away from us), and to rehabilitate people when possible. The rest of what we spend on prisons is a pointless, cruel waste of money.

For more of this line of thinking, check out this book by a Public Policy professor here. (I don't benefit in any way from that book and I don't know the author personally. I just like it.)
