Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.
Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.
Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.
Just a guess, but when the person you’re replying to says “nestle” they mean “the company of nestle, it’s employees and all their bullshit” rather than “this specific person from the company” like most people…
I doubt many people are under the illusion that major players in any company are directly involved with astroturfing on websites they don’t own.
It’s always going to be a low level employee, possibly even an unpaid intern.
Hey now, that’s a misrepresentation of both the US and China.
China had way nicer locomotives in 96. It wasn’t 1896.
And in the US, that guy would have either been replaced by a machine, or replaced by someone younger who won’t be expecting the seniority and pay raises that being there for over 20 years usually gets you.
I would bet the entirety of my yearly pay that it was absolutely, 100% a joke and they have a perfectly healthy relationship.
We truly live in a society
BOTTOM TEXT
I am sorry if this comes off as offensive to anyone, I’m not trying to be.
I don’t get furries.
I also don’t have to completely understand their ins and outs and complexities to know they’re people who are worthy of respect for being other living people. (or non-people if they identify as non-people? Again I don’t understand them as much as I probably should).
Regardless, shout out to all the furries out there who struggle with things I can’t even imagine.
Evolution.
It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they’re making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they’re working on. I mean, who doesn’t love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.
It’s fun, it’s ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.
Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans.
(it’s the butthole, they attacked a giant alien anus with soap to save the day)
I had recently read a book that had
Shit, imma need that title…
I can’t for the life of me remember which book that was…
Well, shit.
If you remember, let us know! I’m a huge book nerd that (clearly) loves sci-fi, and that sounds pretty neat.
Matter=energy=matter.
If you can replicate matter with energy, you can turn matter into energy.
First you use a little wall power or even solar power, replicate some chargeable power cells, and then hey look you’ve got some portable replicating that will work without an obvious power source.
And as long as you have enough matter on hand to convert to energy, you have enough power to replicate things until we replicate space tech like deflector dishes and bussard collectors to soak in all that tasty hydrogen that’s just laying around all over the universe.
Jaysus, Keiko, it’s like you don’t even listen to me when we’re having dinner…
back to the pattern buffer for you I guess…
First thing anyone with matter replicators needs to do is IMMEDIATELY replicate 100 replicators and send them to enough countries that there’s no WAY for any corporation or rich fuck to quash it and maintain dominance.
Replicators would immediately destroy any economic system because no economic system would be needed when everything you can think of is a button press away.
Honestly any version of replicators…
Klingon has an empty crate bounce off him and he’s ready to end it all.
I get tortured in a mind prison for decades, and I’m expected to show up for work the next day…
man it must’ve sucked so much ass being a nurse during COVID
Hands down, no question. It was still the early days, april 2020, so I am a bit less forgiving than later in 2020. Nurses already got the short end of the medical stick even before covid
this instance was just particularly memorable.
A nurse once told me to “mind my own fucking business” when I said “are you fucking kidding me?” to seeing her pull off her mask to cough into her hand and go back to the shit she was working on during covid lock downs. In the ER nurses station, surrounded by nurses with asks completely down or with noses poking out.
10/10
There was on one that I’ve been in, not sure about this one.
From my understanding, when an MRI is emergency stopped it doesn’t stop immediately, and it causes a lot of damage, so staff are less likely to use it in an emergency. Stupid, yes. But when you’re worried about getting fired for hitting a button, you’re less likely to think of a situation as an emergency. You would think “chain strangling a man” constitutes an emergency though…
As for the staff not stopping the guy making a beeline for the door with more than just words, I’m not sure. I would prefer staff tackle me to the floor rather than let me blithely walk to my doom. Of course I’m only in my 30s…
The hospital is absolutely partly to blame, especially if they didn’t properly convey the danger beforehand. All 3 hospitals I’ve recieved an MRI from have been pretty insistent about making sure I have no metal on or around me before I go in the doors though.
I’d say it’s about 60/40 on the hospital.
Tldr for safety
To actually answer your question instead of piling on, it’s a hospital, not a prison. In case of emergencies, the door absolutely cannot ever be potentially locked, even while the machine is on.
With how easily something can go wrong in an MRI, they need quick access without the addition of special keya/badges to get inside or relying on people inside to hit some lock release.
In cases like this it makes perfect sense to have a lock because an idiot was outside and ignored all the warnings. A lock would have prevented everything that followed him entering.
Buuuuuuut unfortunately we can’t cater the entire world to the biggest idiots, if only for the safety of the less idiotic who might have a heart attack in the MRI and need to be quickly pulled out, or a piece of metal that snuck into their food and is now ripping out their insides.
In most situations where an emergency happens inside, quick reactions save lives, and locks slow reactions down to the slowest mechanism, which might be “I don’t have the right RFID badge, go find another person who has one or the guy inside dies”
how did it not throw up red flags all around letting this guy wear it around that machine.
He wasn’t allowed in the room.
His wife panicked in the MRI, he charged into the room he was told not to go Into.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t know of any 1st grade classes teaching financial literacy, nor high school classes focusing on how to play a recorder.
I did have a few weeks that focus on domestic finances in 8th grade. That almost nobody paid attention to. So there’s at least one school that did both 20 years ago…
I got detention for a week because when one of my classmates did this to me I hit him with mine.
No ragerts.
I worked as a bike tech for a sporting goods store and replaced most of the store tools with my own. The ones they had were all the cheapest crap from ebay or Amazon or something. One of the wrenches snapped on the first group of bikes we built when the store opened.
A nice tool that feels good in the hand will pay for itself with the comfort it provides.
I had to threaten to sue them because when they fired a bunch of us and barred us from the store, they tried to say those tools belong to them even after sending them the receipts for everything. And informing them where the box of original tools went. And having to call someone still in the store to bring me out the most expensive tool there and they had the audacity to tell me that me taking it would make their jobs harder because there was no replacement for it and if I could just be reasonable they’ll have a replacement in a month so I can come back then.
