If you go to an event like grindfest or defcon magnets will be available from people who have been doing this in this community for a long time. Also, lots of reputable body modification artists (Brian Decker, Steve Haworth, Russ Fox, etc) sell/implant magnets and travel all over to piercing conventions and such.

Sorry to be late to this, but don't try and find a random magnet and figure out how to coat it and implant it yourself. Coatings are hard! Most fail! Don't mess around with sticking toxic objects in your body if you don't know what you are doing, just to save a buck!

people in this community have already designed an implanted raspberry pi project called the pegleg- https://hackaday.com/2019/08/29/pegleg-raspberry-pi-implanted-below-the-skin-not-coming-to-a-store-near-you/ the pegleg runs piratebox software but once you’ve successfully implanted a pi you can effectively run anything you…

Also, people have put magnets into a standard bridge piercing to mount glasses, but bridge piercings require very precise anatomy lest they’ll reject even without irritating them constantly with a large bouncy external object stuck to them. https://www.livescience.com/10459-glasses-require-piercing-bridge-nose.html

Maybe the "recent discussions" page is more what you want, rather than the activity tab? If no one finds the Activity tab useful, I can attempt to hid it, but all sorts of people find all sorts of things useful, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ It looks like there is some Vanilla community interest in allowing user light/dark themes, but that…

> @ThomasEgi said: > Another idea (no clue if that already exists or not) would be to upgrade the lock-screen of smartphones. People are more likely to forget their wallet than their smartphone if you'd ask me. So putting an "emergency info" on the unlock screen would make sense. This way the information would be…

I think we need to take this on a case by case basis. While it’s good for the community to warn each other of abusers who might continue to abuse others, we also want to avoid building lists of people for any infraction, that might expose those people to abuse themselves. So, in the case where someone might be a threat to…

I don’t know where Decker sources them, but I think this is from before Dangerous Things had magnets like this.

I got it implanted by Brian Decker in Brooklyn, NY. He used a scalpel and sealed it up with a single stitch. I asked him the strength and he said it’s N52. It’s implanted in the outer side of my non-dominant ring finger, but I have small fingers so extends under the pad just enough to be annoying :) I just have the one…

I have a similar long magnet. I don't know if it's equivalent to the xG3 - it's a 3x1mm parylene coated grain of rice shaped magnet, implanted by Brian Decker. Mine works well for lifting (can pick up silverware), and is okay for sensing. I think the sensitivity has gone down very slightly over the 4 years I've had it. I…
-
I think that placement might be a problem if you ever plan to pick up heavy things like barbells or furniture! Also, my guess is it will be a lot less good at sensing fields in that location. People like to go for the fingertips because there are more nerve endings for better sensing of fields, and off to the side so the…

you already made a post about this yesterday. stop spamming.

I hope no technology to alter sexual orientation exists, because if it did it would be forcibly applied to people against their will. People are horrific, and this would allow them to be more so. On the one hand, I want to know how orientation works biologically, on the other, I know such knowledge would only be used to…

Search is in the top right, but it looks like it’s only available on the desktop version. You can view the desktop version on mobile using the “Full Site” link in the footer. From the edit profile page you can update your notification preferences to get notified whenever a discussion you’ve started, commented on, or…

Stress does inhibit the immune system though, right? And the immune system is constantly destroying malfunctioning cells before they become cancer?

Please don't revive dead topics just to shill for Russian security companies.

If your growth plates have already fused (which happens after your last growth spurt when you are a teenager or young adult) you can't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphyseal_plate Otherwise, if you are malnourished better nutrition might help. Or, if you are assigned female at birth and transgender ftm, starting…

the wonderful @cyberlass has found and fixed the Wiki problems!
-
thanks. the wiki has been down for a while now because no one has been able to maintain it. hopefully one of us will get a chance to look at it soon!

I wouldn't trust that magnet even with a saline test.

@glims, I think you're talking more about the code of ethics than the code of conduct? the code of conduct lets us ban people from the forums etc for being assholes in more conventional racist/homophobic/etc trolling than it has anything to do with people doing bad science or any sort of hierarchy.

1. Getting a hard drive magnet anywhere near an implanted magnet will be extremely painful. Play with hard drive magnets with your other hand and you'll be fine. 2. Not if it's in your computer. You'd have you get your finger very close to the platters to possibly erase data- almost certainly this is only possible to do if…

There are a few podcasts made by people in this community. Off the top of my head, I can think of: 2 Cyborgs and a Microphone ( @McSTUFF ) Dangerous Minds Future Grind ( @RyanOShea ) The only one of those that's been updated recently is Future Grind, however, and it's more interviews with people in and adjacent to the…

There are a lot of transgender people in the biohacking community, possibly because many transgender people have been thinking about their body and modifying it in other ways for so long anyway, that what we currently do seems very tame in comparison. Also, some of the stuff on the horizon is extremely enticing to many…

I'll be at defcon, the biohacking village, and queercon!

I'll close/sink

don't answer that ^

Because vanilla hates me and wants to see me suffer, they also just released version 3.0. So, the forum has been upgraded again. This bump is more significant, but everything I can see appears to be working. Keep an eye out for anything that isn't, yeah?
-
There's been another forum upgrade, to 2.8.4, and hopefully none of you will notice anything different at all! Let me know if you do.

@Dani123, are you being hostile for the sake of being hostile? doesn't that get exhausting?
