Help identifying metal

Found a really cool piece of metal that I’d like to make into a necklace, but I want to make sure it’s safe (not toxic, ect)

It was rusty when I found it, so I assumed it to be steel, but it turned out to be pretty soft. I can’t dent it with my fingernail, and it’s hard to scratch with a screwdriver, but the tip broke easily when I was working with it, and the shavings were very curly when I drilled into it. It’s not noticeably light or heavy, is dull gray, but shiny when cut. It’s been a few hours and the shininess hasn’t gone away.

Could someone help me identify this?

Your kidney was stolen and given to an innocent person. Taking it back now would directly result in their death. Do you have the right to take it back?

Would your answer change if you have to actually kill them yourself to get the kidney?

You wake up one day to realize you’re missing a kidney.

Two years later, after ceaseless investigation, you find who its new owner is.

This person was not the same person who took your kidney, and had no reason to believe it was taken unethically. Maybe they thought they were signing up for a proper transplant or something. This person would have died without it, but living without a kidney has made life more difficult for you.

You have no way of finding out who actually took your kidney.

Is it still within your rights to take the kidney back, thereby killing him, somewhat indirectly? Let’s assume if you do so, he’s not able to find a new one. Considering it was originally your kidney, after all.

Not accounting for risk of surgery, how it would affect family, ect.

Don’t know if this is close enough to the actual trolly problem, but I saw that this was the place for moral dilemmas, and at least it’s not another red/blue button.

To clarify, the person who stole got your organ is not the same person who stole it. The other guy just wakes up with a new organ, and is oblivious as to it’s origin.

Hi. I’m trying to shoot a super slow motion scene with my Canon EOS R50 V. What I’ve done so far is set it to 100 some frames per second, which seems to be my maximum, then put my shutter speed to 1000, but it still wasn’t nearly smooth enough. Is there anything I can do to improve it? I’ve already tried DaVinci‘s frame interpolation, and it wasn’t able to save it.

Thanis.
