That’s only useful for the current date, or dates within your current month. Otherwise this is worthless information haha.

“When was Archduke Franz Ferdinand assassinated?”

“The 28th.”

I have not forgotten. I mentioned it was the family’s ability to use that money, not the individual! You are right that it doesn’t change the conclusion though.

Yeah good shout. I gave up after I realized. Thanks!

His investments and stocks do provide income (although not a salary). Regardless, my earlier statement still stands.

That’s all well and makes sense to me, but the person I was questioning stated that $350k+/year is not rich. All of those boxes you mentioned could be ticked way lower than that, and this is nearly 10x the median salary of the UK. That roughly means this family has the ability to spend 8x the median individual and still save/invest 2x their salary per year.

What does this mean? By this metric, the wealthiest person in the world is not considered rich. Elon Musk both works and has an income.

By what metric? Where would you define rich?

Brand new sentence?

I’m not advocating for it, but it could be just locally run and therefore unable to share anything?

For a kidney, they probably used the body coil and it would have taken around 15 minutes. Does that sound right?

Unfortunately they did get in the room sometimes. For the most part, techs are really good about keeping the magnet room clear and not bringing ferrous items inside. However, even when things like that did get inside they really aren’t a problem to just pick up with your hands (or sometimes our titanium tools like pliers or a screwdriver to get a better grip on them). The pull is strong, but based off the amount of ferrous material so those things that are just a few grams are not really notable.

Yes I had two separate occasions of having to remove a ferrous table from a magnet. One was able to be removed with 5 of us pulling (using a tie strap for safety to make sure it didn’t fling when we repositioned it), but the other we had to ramp down the magnet to remove from the room.

I used to install and maintain MRIs (as well as some other medical imaging modalities) and this seems to be wrong any time I’ve ever seen it in media.

1. people will be shown in the magnet room with steel wheelchairs/patient tables/chairs/etc. or even their phones. None of that should be entering the room at all.
2. the images shown on the diagnostics will be like a radiogram or PET or something that would not show from an MRI.
3. the scan only takes a minute for a “picture”, when in reality having an MRI scan can easily take an hour. You may have some people taking only 15 minutes or so, but those are the quick ones. Clinicians will order a whole list of scans and each one takes several minutes.

Yeah especially so close to NYC. That makes sense, unfortunately.

Damn, when/where was that? I was raised in Alabama and didn’t stand/recite the pledge a few times in high school around 2010 and didn’t get in trouble for it. Definitely got some snide remarks and looks, but never actually in trouble.

Yeah I think many humans worship the deer religion. I hear people say “Deer God…” when they pray.

If they were for any price, this is still true.

Ah gotcha I thought you were going off the original post. Thanks!

Hm I may be getting wooshed, but this is still binary? 4 in ternary would be 11.

I truly hope this is true: Brand new sentence.
