Hmmm double negative ā¦ So you always make such claims?

Hmm touchƩ 
Double negatives are among a number of really shitty English constructs I picked up in the area I grew up in, that Iāve been trying to banish from my verbal and written output for decades because they kinda mark me as a hick, but I havenāt been too successful at it. Occasionally I slip. Oh well, nobodyās perfect.
Oh and yeah, I probably am a shingle shy of a roof. And so are you, else you wouldnāt be patronizing this here forum

I donāt deny itā¦ 
Yes, I made a few clocks using them years ago (Arduino and drivers) but seen a set being sold and nabbed them i love the glow.

Anyone here have experience with the iCopy-X and implants? or just in general really?
Arghā¦ I have to get back on this again, a bit - Iām lacking time to visit this forum a bit, so if I want to reply to something, I have to re-de-rail everything againā¦ but still 
We were talking about the glowing, radioactive implants before, and by stating that mine is not radioactive, I meant the mechanics it uses for glowing. Itās glowing in the dark after charging on (uv-)light, so thatās definitely a different mechanic, compared to Tritium. Of course, it might be radioactive because itā¦ dunno, was placed near something radiating before. Or had to many long-distance plane flights or whatever. Everything can be radioactive - thatās why radiocarbon dating worksā¦
But still, I am very sure my artist would not implant something significantly āmoreā radioactive than a banana inside me without telling me about the risks first
I hope it works out well - I had plans to make a line with the stars, from my implant on the lower side of the wrist up to the crook of my arm, and my artist advised against it. We are still thinking about getting some thicker custom-made stars for that project, but wellā¦ that might take lots of time or never happen at all. I really like your idea, but since I am advertising the little glowies quite a lot here (just because I love them ), I just donāt want you to be disappointed afterwardsā¦
I wasnāt meant as a whole thing lol,
It was just a tongue in cheek
ābut how do you know?ā

I know my phone has a ton of sensors - is there a built-in Geiger counter as well? Iād just love to check my bananas

some phone apps try to use the camera as a shitty geiger counterā¦ basically you black out the camera and when it sees little pixels flash above a threshold then its assumed that was a high energy particle hitting the CMOS sensor
I think that was supposed to be a thing, years ago for some form of national securityā¦ but I never heard of anything solid come from it
This has nothing to do with implant (although, in a sense it does a bit) but I gotta say, the human body is a fantastic machine.
Last week I spent a day milling steel parts in the workshop barefoot. I know, not terribly smartā¦ I got a million metal splinters into my soles which I didnāt feel at the time. Since last Friday, every morning when I get out of bed and take my first steps, I feel painful spots here and there. Sure enough, when I inspect the areas, I find splinters just poking through the surface that have been pushed out of my skin overnight.
Maybe Iām easily impressed, but I find the whole self-repair process properly fascinating.

You amuse me lol, magnet implants are a terrible idea because you might get a steel sliverā¦
Also you, letās walk barefoot around a mill lol

The slivers donāt bother me. Well they do, but theyāre a fact of life for a machinist.
What bothers me with a magnet in a finger is, instead of getting a splinter every once in a while, my finger would attract themā¦ well, like a magnet That and I donāt want to spend my day trying to brush iron powder and filings off my finger or off my tools. Itās annoying enough when it happens to a screwdriver, but at least you can demagnetize the screwdriver. Exactly what you canāt and donāt want to do with a magnet implant.
I guess what Iām trying to say is, you canāt put the magnet on pause when itās inconvenient - be it around iron filings in the workshop or before getting near an MRI machine. Thatās my beef. If I cared to wear shoes, I could put my stupidity on pause. But itās not an option with the magnet.
Also, the barefooting in the workshop just happened. It never crosses my mind. Itās only after 3 or 4 hours when I picked up the angle grinder that I figured I really should use safety shoes - by which time, it was far too late to avoid the splinters
In german we have a word that roughly translates to handshoe (glove), that might be a solution.
Handshoes are not an option when you work on parts. I wish they were - it would save me a lot of work, because my sweat is acidic and I keep ruining steel parts if Iām not careful to store them in oil overnight. And also Iād have clean hands instead of looking like a hobo when Iām done.
But you canāt do precise work with gloves. You can with latex gloves, and with those āliquid gloveā sprays, but they last about 5 seconds before getting punctured.

thats quite a bit of driving but i would have done the same for something id really want
what kind of implant are you getting installed that you need to go sofar away for ?
lets not derail that ohter thread
ah okey my latest install was in germany
what flex are you getting installed ?
better if you have somone who says that he cant do it then somone who says yeah i can do it and then complety fuck it up
ah okey what did you like the most to do ? wich career ?
ah yeah makes sense gunsmith thats awesum
i am a cnc machinist 
If you have a Rosco brand 80% kit, let me know. I want to build one real bad.
Sorry I specialize in luxury hunting rifles Think Holland & Holland, Purdey and such.
