How did stuff become so difficult?

I have a lovely job tomorrow, I have to re-establish the magnetic field in an MRI scanner which involves slowly taking the electromagnet inside up to just over 500 Amps. The windings have to be cooled constantly with liquid Helium at -269 Degrees.
What could possibly go wrong. ;D

I used to spend a lot of time in mobile MRI and CT Scanners looking after unconscious patients, the only piece of electronic equipment I could understand was the clock that told the time 😳😳😳

And having been involved in instruction / examining much of my working life (er, thanks Bryan!) the best way to ensure a worst outcome is ridicule / belittlement etc.
This year I joined a Moto Guzzi forum as it’s all ECUs, mapping and crap that I’m totally at odds with. I managed to cope / maintain dignity (just!) - but by god is that forum different to this. I rarely look at it or post now; it is generally good, but alas prone to too much testosterone & outbursts such as, “You fucking muppet, I told you 3 posts ago it was the xxx switchâ€.
I can really do without fellows’ being bullied; that is what is so good about this forum of Steve’s and ‘us lot’.

You should give www.guzziriders.org a try. Good bunch and no bullshit.

Nice, reminds me of when I worked at Associated Octel at Ellesmere Port - the Hall of Castner-Solvay cells ran at 25,000 amps D.C. at around 3 volts the buzz bars would pull your feet towards them if you were daft enough to wear steel capped boots. It was great for magnetising your socket sets - it was pulling them off that was difficult.lol

45 years ago I worked in a telephone exchange and a fitter was joining the old buz bars to the new ones (they where only 50v I was told but huge amperage) and he dropped his spanner across the + & - and it fell to the floor in TWO pieces!

I have lost count of the times I have gone to hospitals to remove things stuck to the front of the scanners.
Chairs, trolleys, bins, floor polishers. Despite the signs on the door saying no metal.
It’s not an easy task removing them, takes around a day.
My colleague has even had to go abroad to remove a gun :o
