Here’s some welcome news. Normal people don’t read the reports excreted by the United Nations — as even the UN admits:
1754328201447.webp
Most of the 1,000+ reports produced each year by the United Nations are barely read, according to the organization’s own study into how to make its work more “impactful and coherent.”

The world can be thankful that reports produced by the neoliberal apparatchiks comprising the UN are not more impactful — that is to say, damaging.

According to a report released Thursday, the Secretariat published 1,100 reports last year – a 20% increase since 1990 – and supported 27,000 meetings involving 240 entities. …

Many of these reports are not widely read.

Now for the bad news. The pernicious reports are largely funded by American taxpayers whether anyone reads them or not.

You can Quench, basically sending off all the liquid helium in the air (outside). Magnet loses it's cooling and slowly power down
The magnetic field will gradually lower but it's not instantaneous. Refuelling the MRI can take weeks and cost a shitload with current helium price, so it's a last ditch thing.

This should never have happened and the tech is gonna get sued into oblivion, maybe get some prison time for egregious negligence
The man should not have been there. Tech and patient only in the prep area, unless the patient is deaf mute, needs an interpretor etc. Door closed unless the tech is there, and fucking NOBODY enter the magnet room unless the tech has questionned and basically stripped them down of anything metal.

Oh, so it's not a giant electromagnet? You can tell I know zippo about how these things work.

Why I am not surprised that it’s outrage taxpayer money going into this damn organization.

Say he follows through and gets to replace all the absent legislators based only on the TX AG's opinion letter. The Dems will file a dozen lawsuits and now the TX legislature is totally crippled

What would they sue over? They’d just raise the argument that the interpretation of the law is wrong as a defense in proceedings. While I’m not entirely sure you can counter-claim an injunction against the AG filing a lawsuit, it would still all be part of the same proceedings. And again, once they’re in the state, the rangers have legal authority to make them come to the capital. At which point the AG could dismiss the lawsuits, and dems would have no standing to sue since there’s no injury in fact, and Texas courts don’t issue advisory opinions.

Anything the replacement leg does will be seen as illegitimate depending on the ruling, appeal and eventually the SC. So two years or so of nothing getting done in TX? The Dems are probably perfectly fine with that outcome vs. losing 5 House seats.

Do you mean SCOTX or SCOTUS?

I've been willing to trust the plan through a lot, but if I were a chimp out kinda guy this is probably the one thing I'd chimp out on. The indiscriminate impact of natural disasters on American citizens is more important than the GDP they generate for Israel. This is that classic Trump spite being misused for no good reason.

If I understand Abbott's position it's that he's going to immediately replace them based on an opinion of an existing law. There won't be any court proceedings. If true there'll will be tons of lawsuits and injunctions flying. They won't have to shop for a judge either.

Who the Hell knows? That's why it feels like a bluff while tossing red-meat to the people who just want to hear words.

Holy hell, Hot Wheels better do it or I’ll be pissed. I might write a strongly worded letter (in Hindi so it gets read) to his office if he doesn’t go through with it!

"sorry your little girl drowned in flood waters after a hurricane rural republican in a blue state. we would've sent a rescue team to save her but unfortunately people you didn't vote for said mean things about a foreign country so we've determined that American citizens need to die"

I'm starting to think trump is actually an antisemitic accelerationist trying to break the jews hold on American politics by doing cartoonish shit that's guaranteed to make everyone hate the kikes.

Trump as an agent of Chaos who's here to destroy Oceania makes more sense than anything else here.
