Alexis chops up chicken into tiny tiny pieces for use at puppy school while Maggie supervises hopefully.


From the day before, puppy in lap on kitchen floor.

So, how do magnets stick to a stainless steel refrigerator, I asks ya? They sure won't stick on mine!
And- I LOVE your kitchen floor!

All I can think is "Fuckin' magnets, how do they work?"

I dunno, magnets should stick to steel--it's mostly iron! Does yours have a protective layer of something non-ferrous?

Thanks, it is a lovely floor--hopefully we won't scratch it to oblivion.

Yep, they stick to ferrous steels, but stainless is a face-centered cubic structure where the ferrous molecules are protected by an alloy (usually chromium) that shields it, making it non-magnetic. There must be alternative alloys used that don't do that, that's all I can figure. There are probably lots of new things in that field since my metallurgy days!

I think even scratches would just give that floor character.
