It’s “Jesus take the WHEEL” not “Jesus take the YOKE”

The moral high ground is filled with corpses.

you cannot seriously be proposing that we relax fire code for rentals.

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.

I remember a friend of mine whining about how my text bubble was a different color and it “made it weird” to text because of that.

By then I was already super over the whole tribalistic iphone/android bs from people I know when it wasn’t being meme’d on, so I just told her “you can either get over it, or we can stop talking and being friends”

Wouldn’t you know it, the color of a text bubble isn’t enough to end a friendship over.

Ah, no true scottsman adult, then.

Sounds like my wife’s mother.

She’s a super narcissist and has some sort of desire to knock everyone else down when she feels like she’s not getting enough attention.

You deserved better from your parents.

Why do you not respect boundaries?

The boundary being “keep your religious stuff away from me”

As an American, what the fuck are you talking about?

Good to see the police openly lying

… Have they ever done anything else?

This looks more like someone did it on purpose.

They’re all shifted down by one

$250 non refundable application deposit?

LMAO I’d sooner torch the rental property than pay just to APPLY to hopefully live there.

My wife and I were looking at realtors and one told us we would need to provide our credit card info to look at properties, and I just laughed and said “go fuck yourself” and hung up.

The only valid response, IMO.

The fact that people actually pay this shit is infuriating.

I read them, UN.

So there’s at least one more!

regular hours.

Apologies, but as someone who has never worked in an office, “regular hours” is a meaningless phrase.

In a row?!

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.

Lol nvidia CEO couldn’t do my job for an hour.

I am absolutely confident that I could do his job for an hour.

The empty chair in his office does his job just as easily, too.

You can tell me all about the meetings and deals they have to worry about but ultimately, by the time a company gets that large, it could run itself without a c-suite for quite some time.

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.
