I've have 2 cubes of those BB-size magnets. The drawback to them is once they age a bit, (>1 year) they tend to loose their magnetism by a few percent, but not equally. It then becomes near impossible to make a cube or any other structure that might interest you.

Great idea for those pellets that become useless. Sticking those whipper snappers in all all sorts of mischievous places with a slingshot!
Only problem is the F=MA and ductility response time of the rebound force off the surface can't exceed the
coercivity at impact which would be near impossible. But in a fantasy world, paint them with phosphorescent paint and shoot them on the beams in stadiums so they glow during concerts. Do it with the little mini
Ringshot, You just need to get them at the peak of their parabolic arc.

It is very unusual the circumstances of her victory, and it should be raising eyebrows. It is in no way of relation to her race or nationality, it is the simple fact of how much she won by. That said, considering that in both cases it was the freestyle portion where earned the win, it is probable she simply has a good form for that portion.

Personally I find the Idea that you can find a few billion to protect banks from their own incompetence and corruption, but then cannot pay your doctors, to be quite an offensive state of affairs. Its about time someone started looking very closely at what's really going on here, because I have a nasty feeling that us ordinary folk are being deliberately done over...

Yes. Well money is nothing

its just a shared idea. It only works because everyone agrees that it should. If we are really going down the road of having the super rich dominate us all and deprive everyone else of wealth's benefits. Then it will soon be time for the rest of us to re-adjust their view of reality again...Same old story, history repeating itself, empires rise and are brought down again by the greed and selfishness of those who control them.

Frankly neither need government money. Until the government can show itself to be fiscally responsible it should have as little money as possible. The smaller local government should handle the infrastructure since they are small enough to easily be held accountable. If then, when in good times, the local government wants to try tax based payments for something else, they can, people will react in an appropriate matter.
