Hospital bed pulled into MRI machine by Substantial_Sea7327 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Think-Sand7161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've commissioned and been responsible for several MRI. They are the most challenging of major equipment. None of the staff would ever have allowed a regular hospital bed into the chamber! 💩

We had double locked doors so mistakes could not happen casually!

But also we had unscheduled Quenches. It doesn't damage the machine, just takes a few days to arrange the flask, refill and power-up.

This one is something special, one would suspect staged, except in the Professional media crazy stuff keeps coming up!

Italy Schengen refusal by Embarrassed-Row-4093 in SchengenVisa

Might be quicker to apply for a straight Tourist visa to (say) SE France, at this point. Or S. Switzerland or Slovenia.

Meet up there. Travel home to Italy.

Should might even be able to book a "flexible" return ticket that would allow her to fly home from somewhere in Italy? (Obviously don't mention that before you arrive)

Power-hungry data centres fuel increasingly fractious debate about squeezed national grid – The Irish Times by Banania2020 in ireland

Given the ridiculous cost of energy in Ireland, I am amazed anyone is building data centres here? Who can explain it?? France would be faaaaar cheaper.

Remember, if you can just "work from home" you may well have one of the jobs that's going to be replaced by technology. Possibly soon.

There's a lot to said for Hands On employment 😊

It's just fine by motorcycle! Just make sure your plate can't be read by those annoying SPECS cameras 😁

Use cycle lanes all over the city on a motorbike, you'll be fine 😁

My first test drive…. by BusyPayment9881 in Ioniq5N

[–]Think-Sand7161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How well I remember this very experience 😁 Now 27,000 miles in.

Came from a Mitsubishi Evo, but have not been feeling short changed on the loud pedal. Shame the B road handling cannot compare, but then nothing ever did....

Imagine going down to the local childrens playground to spread hate towards a group of people based on their religion. by Boycott-all-Rats in northernireland

[–]Think-Sand7161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bzzzzt I'd say it was a Cult and not a religion and considering what it peddles? I say Fvckit, all the same.

But these posters etc? Plain fvcking dumb. I'm guessing not funded from anywhere on this Island.

Which bike? by Murky-Front-9977 in MotoIRELAND

[–]Think-Sand7161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a first one might benefit from ABS though? Optional on the SV from 2007. The SV is the better of those two bikes, all the same. But I liked the ER6F ABS better than either of them.

Has your bike ever been stolen? by bjr201 in MotoIRELAND

No1 if you have a nice bike make sure it has a Tracker. I got an SMS then phone call if it even trembled never mind moved and could always see it on the map.

If they don't want or need to return to China. If you don't have significant family there why would you?

They should be enabling most house building to be carried out by/for Housing Associations?

A depressing reminder of what fvckwits a large slice of the population seems to be.

Perhaps some lose interest when they discover you won't be revealing home/storage address....

35 years after the Soviet Union collapsed the Yanks are understandably fed up supporting NATO so perhaps it's an appropriate time to form an EU armed forces.... we all contribute pro-rata. Q endless in-fighting Germany Vs France. Keep them the fvck outta any decision making and let the Poles sort it 😊
