it's a reference to the clock bomb kid who turned out to be lying about having any interest in electronics (news footage showed him soldering the wrong side of a PCB)

The cameraman probably asked him to flip it over to show the interesting bits. I was photographed for the local paper as a kid after I did well in some science quiz and the photographer got me to draw all kinds of dumb poo poo on the board for the picture.

he also said he "soldered CPUs" as well as a few other things, including that the clock in question was just a normal clock removed from it's housing. it had no internal battery, so if it started beeping in class he had to have plugged it in.


there's also a bunch of shady stuff with his family that I'm looking at atm

The actual story is that a 14 year old who liked to play with electronics was too brown and got arrested at school for his case full of wires and circuit boards.

Because racism is physically impossible and can't happen, a conspiracy narrative formed where he was extremely suspicious and his family were radicalising him like a ninja turtle etc.

The real story: a dorky 14 year old took an electronic clock apart and put it in another case and brought it in to school to show his teachers. This is in line with the sort of electronics ability a self-taught 14 year old has, despite all the megaminds and supergeniuses on The Something Awful Forums who totally could have done better than that when they were in high school, if they'd wanted to *huge bong rip*

The internet story: well obviously that clock looked exactly like a bomb because I know nothing at all about improvised explosives and get all my information from the TV show "24". Even though what he did was immediately determined by the police to be harmless, it was still his fault for doing a thing that looks suspicious if you're a moron, and he should have known better than to upset people dumber than himself. Also his dad was angry about the way his kid was treated so he's definitely one of those radicalized jihadist muslims Q.E.D. they were bad from the beginning and The Kid Was No Angel.

Soldering CPUs is totally a thing.

So what if it was a setup? Ahmed just gave the local idiots enough rope to hang themselves with.

This is a lot more common than you'd think and also generally not a problem - by the time you take off and are going 100mph the door is held closed by the pressure flowing across it or even fully latched by it, so it's not like you're gonna fall out.

That said it is scary as gently caress the first couple times it happens.

I've not, but if I ever find myself working in an OR I'll remember this joke to use. The closest I've come to working in an OR is calling a surgeon for payment for a job while he was operating, or maybe when I had my appendix out and they wanted to lift me from the gurney to the table but I walked instead despite the pre-anaesthesia drugs I'd been given.
