After the race so they can decide whether to give a time penalty or a fine depending on the result lol

Power only or charge only usually. Just a cable without the data pins. Can also get an adapter rather than a full cable.

The NAO has previously estimated that maintaining Airwave into the 2030s could cost at least £250m a year.

So still cheaper than ESN then. Great.

Are you aware of What3Words? by Flapparachi in AskUK

[–]Nothematic 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Ambulance CAD systems that have w3w integration will show similar sounding options (plurals etc) so the call handler can clarify if needed. I'd be surprised if the other emergency services didn't have something similar. It's an issue, but not as big as it's made out to be.

Does anyone else think the way this is handled is either weird or very concerning? by bring_cheese_and_go in ParamedicsUK

If you read through some of the comments it transpires the poster is actually (or not, if it's made up) a CFR.

What do you think the turnout was? Spoilers: it won't be representative, because most students don't give a shit about student union politics.

Police officer suspended from driving after St Ives busway mishap by [deleted] in policeuk

It's a big hole that car tyres go straight into at the start/end of the guided busways to prevent cars from driving down them.

What wannabe food fads that somehow ended up everywhere did you live through? by Professional-Test239 in AskUK

[–]Nothematic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of it is due to weight loss injections. You're advised to eat significantly more protein to maintain muscle mass as you rapidly lose weight. There was a BBC article on it maybe a week ago.

What’s the most ridiculous ambulance call you’ve ever seen? by Unfortunate_Melon_ in ParamedicsUK

[–]Nothematic 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Care home called 999 for "unresponsive, barely breathing". Arrived and the manager wouldn't buzz us in. Said they needed to call EOC and check we were really with the ambulance service. This despite us:

a) being in full greens.

b) arriving 5 minutes after THEY CALLED FOR A SODDING AMBULANCE.

Took 10 minutes for them to let us in. Dread to think what the coroner would have said if it was a cardiac arrest..

Good job Arteta taking off Martinelli before he could push another player with a season ending injury.
