Poilievre: "Hrm.. maybe if I take off my glasses..."

I misread the original quote as being from Terry Pratchett and as I was reading your comment I was like "No way in hell, what is this guy talking about?".

Poilievre isn't a Trump clone. Trump is perceived as an outsider to politics, someone who isn't a normal politician. Poilievre hasn't had any other jobs than being a politician, and tried to run with Trump's policies. I'm not going to say that's why he lost the election, but he's a long way from being a clone since he lacked one of the major traits that most people who would vote for Trump would identify with.

18kt gold is an alloy with 75% gold and other metals that may be magnetic. I wouldn't trust a gold chain around my neck with an MRI.

It was a knee MRI. She wasn't stuck inside it, she just wanted her husband to help get her off of the table instead of just the technician.

Still a horrible scene though, but not quite as horrific as your first imagining.

Wouldn't better efficiency lead to less physical requirements for the same output which leads to lower labour costs?
