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.
questioned whether there was sufficient evidence of uncontacted peoples in the area, saying the territory had been tied up for nearly two decades
“it’s been 1/5 of a human lifespan, obviously nobody is still there since I haven’t seen them.”
As if they’d all have died off in 20 years or nobody contacting them somehow makes it fair game?
He was a union man.
The things I inherited from my grandpa are valuable.
0 chance I’d even consider selling them. I will be giving them away or willing them to people when I die/get older though.
So they’ll have to give her a job again. But then she won’t be homeless anymore.
I can confirm, having a job (or 3) does not provide a home.
As an American, what the fuck are you talking about?
Good to see the police openly lying
… Have they ever done anything else?
I read them, UN.
So there’s at least one more! 
People won’t stand up for their neighbors and community when Nazies are rounding the others up
Because it doesn’t directly affect them yet.
“Then they came for my coffee”, and all that.
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.
Nope, not me.
I’d like to think I’m funny though…
Well, I mean I DO technically have a YouTube channel that hasn’t posted since 2017 and only has a few battlefield 3/4 clips on it I wanted to show friends.
Which YouTube guy would I be?
Fun anecdote: a relative, without a hint of irony, goes on about how they deserve to be there because “they used to live there 2,000 years ago”
Apparently I’m an “asshole”, “woke” and “antisemitic” for bringing up native Americans…
Just a thought experiment, how sink-proof are these things?
If someone were to build a homemade submarine with a drill, how many holes would one have to theoretically drill to make a yatch sink?
Well yeah, if you’re trapped in one of our many prisons, you get to look forward to slave labor! Slavery is perfectly legal and constitutional, as per the 13th amendment.
As an American, seconded.
I’m trapped here, don’t YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.
That banner SLAMMED Jeff bezoz!
I’m sure he didn’t just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.
“Tourists hit cyclist and fled the scene”
… Probably Americans.
reads the very next line
Wow, I’m soooooo surprised. Shocked, even.
Can American tourists not be shit for FIVE MINUTES???
Sorry to butt-in on this exchange, but I did not see anywhere they proposed such a thing?
I’ve been homeless and I’ve gotta say, fire codes are worth the toilet paper they’re printed on when it’s getting cold out, and you’ve been through 6 days of constant rain.
