Giggle away, everyone else in this house has 
is it weird that i see it as an animated scene, like cartoon character you and the whole thing has a laugh track behind it?
Hey Maria,
Are you an art student ?
Funnily enough the reason for for climbing the tree was to sort out a rope that hangs from a branch for my dog to play with.
In unrelated news i have been hung from a tree before but it wasn’t accidental.

A question. Has anyone tried putting a sensory magnet on jaw bone, or skull to hear magnetic fields through bone conduction? Is that even practical?
I know about Tragus implants, but I’m thinking about possibility of having a magnet in other places

In theory it is possible. However, needs a different approach compared to the traditional sensory magnets, due to the lack of nerves in the bone.
As the EM field vibrates the magnet the nerves pick up the vibe in the soft tissue.
In the bone there has to be something the magnet knocks against (ideally not the bone itself). Imagine the magnet being encapsulated with yet another layer. Titanium would be a good candidate for this.
Some dental implants are made out of titanium. They are actually the part that makes connection with the crown and the jaw bone. One end screws into the bone, and there is a so called ‘well’ on the other end. That’s a fancy name for a threaded hole. The abutment goes there. The size of the well is determined by the location of the implant and the manufacturer…ie: bigger the tooth-bigger the well.
I looked up a few manufacturers, but it seems that the biggest well is still too small for the Titan. r-go A custom implant has to be made for a project as such…either way.
Same goes with skull implant, however I researched that topic a bit less.
Amal mentioned tuning the implant with a screw… this imposes another problem. The inside of the mouth heals rapidly.
…Challenging, but maybe possible.
A thought that occurred to me.
Why not put my titan deep inside my hand? I figure the meaty part of my hand is about 1.5 to 1.25 inches thick. What if I put my titan between the bones, halfway through the thickness between palm and back of hand?
Not a nerve dense area I suppose, but super protected.
Would the working of tendons mess with it or is there room?
It just occurred to me that we tend to think in terms of near surface installations that are necessary for rfid tags. But going deep would be super protected against the physical abuse my hands receive.
This might be the problem - if you put it there, you will lose lifting strenght (not what the Titan is made for, anyways), and you will definitely lose sensing… most of the receptors are somewhere in the different layers of the skin, and if I get it right, we mostly need the Vater-Pacini-corpuscles (they react to vibration), and those are sitting in the subcutis. I’m afraid implanting anything deeper than that might just lead to dissappointing results

Try it out. Take a little cheap speaker that you can play music on, run a knife around the circumference of the diaphragm and peel it off so it can’t push air and make sound, then play some music and adhese a small magnet at various points on your skull to see where you get the best sound conduction.

Now I’m kinda wondering why nobody has implanted a sensing magnet in a toe.

Roscoe got pretty close
So I just got my spark og put in, and my tendons can move it to the other side of a bone.
On an unrelated note, I hit the tendon/bone on insertion as my needle got caught a few times. Uncomfortable, and likely what led to me passing out.
Why not put a Titan in a hollow tooth?
Idk about you but dental nerves don’t sound like something I want to play with… my teeth hurt just thinking about it

They remove the nerves with the root canal.
I’m not leaving a $500 present for the tooth fairy 
It should be the other way around. =)=)
…More seriously I’d say sustainability would be a rather good reason not to put a vibrating metal into a tooth cavity.
But as I said, I’m no expert on the field. 
Edit: Do you mean lining the cavity with amalgam and vibrate the Titan against that? 
I don’t know the answer, but the thought is interesting!
Edit2: You don’t want a semi-open dental cavity in your mouth for too long for hygienic reasons. Also as far as my research extends dentists stop using mercury based amalgam fillings and swap them to composites. It has to have some environmental reasons. They say cremation pollutes also because of the dental fillings. ¯(º_o)/¯
I know one reason was due to it releasing low levels of Mercury causing brain damage in long term.

I am missing one of my molars.
I have immense pain in the teeth close that one since they are shifting. I have been saving up for an implant, and I almost have enough money.
What I am getting at, is modifying the tooth that gets clipped into the implant itself. So the moving part would be inside the fake tooth.
Murica, quoted around $4,500 for one tooth.
Finally an excuse being a silly 
!
If that’s included extraction and the custom implant with installation then I would go for it.
Some dentists are custom making the crowns at place. I saw a (don’t ask me how many)-axis machine working on a piece before. Interesting process, very interesting.
