You could have it so that the box bit is left at the hospital with the person being looked after in it. and the rest of the ambulance heads off back to the dispatch area to be fitted with a new box like  but yellow.

Also the gantry cranes you would need to shelve the patient cubes could be repurposed to bring in more MRI machines after each use.

If the patient dies on the way to the hospital they just put the whole ambulance into a car crusher at the funeral.

It's fair to apportion a larger part of the blame for what happened at Wembley yesterday to security and planning. You have an event that is being hyped up as a once in a generation thing (55 years, fair enough) and people have been excited and drinking all day. Tickets are going for £3000+ and you have all these people literally right outside the stadium. You can imagine what the atmosphere must have been like, especially once the rumours start circulating that people are actually successfully breaking in. People will lose their loving minds at that point. Very easy to criticize "yobs" (aka the working class) when the real blame lays with a complete failure to plan the event properly. I found it laughable how it was all being downplayed yesterday just so the police weren't put in the position of having to cancel the match due to public safety despite the stands being clearly massively overstuffed, visible for all to see on TV. In that regard it was good news some kind of disaster relating to overcrowding didn't happen.

There was strong "some fans urinated on the brave cops" energy from the official statements of the people who had scrimped on planning and security. Probably the same people who are condemning the individual acts of racism that somehow keep happening in a country with no systemic racism.

There was actually no one in the stadium at all - the “”crowd”” just like the football itself is a holographic construct by AIs to trick us. To what end, though? Who can say. The people who know the truth get either black bagged or injected with “vaccines”.

stev posted:Same goes for the IT Crowd football scene. I think I found it really funny and relatable 15 years ago but it's just a bit sad now. The first episode of season 2 has the unbelievably ableist and homophobic main plots, but I still maintain that the moment Moss turns round and tries to serve Jen at the bar was a really funny moment. Not a laudable artistic triumph or anything like that but just a solid, well executed gag. But even the few bits that are good and watchable (and probably weren't written by glinner himself) are soured by the knowledge of what he would become. It's like how reading JK Rowling now is a very different experience in terms of spotting all the hidden dog whistles. There's so many things I wasn't looking for at the time that I am now and it makes it much harder to enjoy with that context. Man, Roland Barthes is turning in his grave.

I always thought that was weird at school how they had a few blocks of 'temporary' classrooms that were concreted to the ground and seemed pretty permenantly attached.

Guavanaut posted:There was strong "some fans urinated on the brave cops" energy from the official statements of the people who had scrimped on planning and security. There's such a massive hole in the official story because that should be a flat impossibility in any post-Taylor stadium, let alone our 90k capacity billion-pound national stadium, with actual royals and senior government officials in attendance. Oddly all I can find on Twitter now is people going through a temporary fence and getting to the island, which means they would have bypassed the first line of security - a problem, sure, but not a terrible one because the island can itself be segregated and all you'd need to do is search people again inside that bit of the cordon (that's the whole point of the multi-layered way crowd control is done at big stadiums). However the Beeb *definitely* showed more than one video of people getting in through an opened exit gate into the concourse, from where there's unrestricted access to the stands. Now I'm not saying this is what happened (it definitely is) but the area breached was apparently the entrance for the executive boxes and every big stadium is *notorious* for letting the big-money people just waltz straight past security and even ticketing lines without a glance because DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? which is of course a much bigger problem than if they'd just built those areas without the normal security setup, but they can't get signed off if the entire ground doesn't abide by the rules. Obviously I don't care that much that Boris might have had a poor person closer to him than he was comfortable with, but the security checkpointing system is also an absolutely *essential* part of crowd control. That could have gone a lot, lot worse very quickly if more people had managed to get in to that bit of the concourse - not a Hillsborough-level event, but crush and other injuries could have built up pretty damned quickly, especially as the VIP concourses are designed for far fewer people.

My dad was there and he said it was all the fault of “little Hitlers” on security taking ages to check NHS apps and demanding people take covid tests even if they had the all clear letter. He pushed past himself and he had a ticket - because he would have missed the start if he didn’t.

Surprised that the little hitlers were checking NHS apps and demanding people take covid tests rather than egging on drunken street brawls and being really racist, because there were definitely some people doing the latter and that sounds like it'd be more up hitler's street than asking people to put a swab up their nose.

No point checking covid apps now imo, countries riddled with it. Absolutely no way that spread can be contained with testing/self isolation. Not that I'm condoning that guys dad being an absolute wank.

Reminds me of when I missed the whole support and almost missed the start of Radiohead because it was in Manchester a few months after the bombing and security was an arudously long process. I waited in line, did what I was told and had a private moan about it later because doing otherwise would've made me a dangerous knobhead.
