That's it. Replace screw with threaded hook. Personally I'd use some wire because zip ties might rub and wear. Or put a corresponding hook on the shelves and use a small chain.

Masonry drill and wall anchor. Then screw an eye hook in.

I fantasize about being the Good Guy With A Gun and having women throw themselves at me because I save them from the Bad Guy With A Gun.
Even when this doesn't happen I can safely be rude and angry - and people must respect me because I Am A Dangerous Person

I know .. but it's always worth reminding people what is meant by wage rises must be matched by productivity gains. It means business will never share their profits with workers.

The ones in the article are 'regular' matter that is in the accretion disk. That's ejected by centripetal force. Gets sucked in close and some of it loses angular momentum and falls into the hole. Some of it gains that same momentum and is flung out.
As for replicating particle creation, I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure of this stuff. I went back and edited the original because your questions are triggering some vague memories that I might be conflating different things.

Yes they can be created spontaneously .. but only for very brief periods while the universe isn't paying attention. Then they recombine and the ledger is balanced. What is possible near the event horizon, is the anti-particle can cross the event horizon leaving the normal particle outside. It can escape (it also might not, but it can). If it does then the books still balance because the anti-particle robs the black hole of the exact mass of the particle.
Not sure what you mean by 'force applied away from the black hole'.

Nothing can escape the event horizon by definition. Not even light. That means anything being ejected from the vicinity of a black hole hasn't yet passed the event horizon.
This includes hawking radiation btw. That does not come from beyond the event horizon either. It happens when a particle/anti-particle pair is spontaneously created just outside the event horizon and before they can recombine, the anti-particle falls into the black hole and the particle escapes.
EDIT: someone correct me here plz. I'm getting flashbacks that the pair creation thing is different from hawking radiation but I don't know enough to be sure.

Or it could be a mix of productivity gains and slightly smaller profits.

This is a terribly written article. The black hole has not 'devoured' the star. It hasn't crossed the event horizon. Best you could say is it's on the spoon making airplane noises on the way to being devoured.

That's about the same level as a jackhammer ... but over 3 miles away.

Reply to Do you judge a book by its cover? What do you look at when deciding whether to rent or buy a book? by KittyLord0824
I absolutely do judge a book by its cover, particularly if it's an unknown (to me) author.
Best example happened to me a long time ago. War against the Chtorr had a 30's pulp cover so for a long time I gave it a pass, thinking it was schlock. Turned out to be brilliant.
