Guys, here's one.
Let's say you put a strong heavy magnet (1kg) on a bathroom scale and hover another identical 1kg magnet over it to repel (eg: north > north)
Will the scale still read 1kg or 2 kg
That covers today's post from a bored retiree lol.

It's entirely possible for a much larger force, depending on the strength of the magnets.

I have far too many of these things, more than I’ll ever use. I could probably make do with just a third of what I’ve got, but - to be safe - I’ll donate half of them. I feel better, having made this decision.

I wonder if the distance between a Logitech USB receiver and a M510 mouse drains the battery equally, or if distance matters (longer away a stronger signal is needed compared to closer between the USB receiver and the mouse). It would make sense to design this way, to conserve battery since a weaker signal would be needed with the mouse within close proximity to the USB receiver.
