On the way back from Naples this summer I ended up passing a giant car fire on I-4. Those infernos are even more terrifying up close, when you can feel the heat from across the road (even for a small car on fire) and smell the smoke through closed windows. I remember trying to look through the windows to see if there was anybody inside, but I couldn't see anything but fire.

mostlygray posted:The pisser is that all of these drivers were probably stone-cold sober. I could forgive them if they were drunk and strung out on meth but their life decisions, I'm sure, were made while they were sober as a judge. The people that loaded were idiots, the drivers were idiots, the traffic control was designed by idiots. Christ almighty, stop over-loading your vehicle. The center of gravity on those loads is above the drivers head. Pay some drat attention. I don't care if you don't care about your own life, but care about others. In a lot of countries, you have to deal with:
My father used to work for a bauxite mine in Guinea. Some of the stories he told me make you wonder "what the gently caress?". I mean, how you overload and topple a gigantic haul mining truck?

Powershift posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQbKCd3ezrA My first job underground I was walking around and a piece of equipment was coming towards me (can't remember if it was a 40 ton haul truck, or a 6ish yard loader, I think the loader). I stood off to the side of the road up against the wall as much as I could in order to let it pass and when its front tires were about 5 yards past me the one on the side I was on blew out. It scared the poo poo out of me and I got pelted pretty hard with some gravel, but at the time I didn't really realize how much worse it could have been.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Except all those times that municipalities ignore the engineering suggestions and set speed limits arbitrarily. A lot of larger cities will have some mechanism where you can request a traffic study to get a speed limit adjusted, but good luck with that in rural areas that get a substantive portion of their revenue from ticketing drivers passing by. Its probably easier to get something like that changed in rural cities like a few of the ones I represent, because you live like a block away from your local city council member, or you only need like 75 signatures to put a referendum on the ballot. Most people only intersect with their local government when they get a ticket, or pay their water bill or whatever, and never take the time to understand how local government, traffic laws and law enforcement, city planning and engineering, and political engagement work. Instead, they take the slice of poo poo-cake they got, and extrapolate out their emotional response to a singular event into a top-down diagram of the entire system and it's value structure. I never got why people find it so hard to believe that police officers and municipals Court might genuinely want to enforce speeding laws. Like if the State legislature did away with traffic fines, and just did points and license suspensions, People would still get just as many speeding tickets. There would just be way fewer drivers on the road. Edit: Also, I'm curious when anyone has ever heard of city council ignoring staff's recommendation on the speed limit, and setting it "arbitrarily." I'm sure its happened somewhere in the last 80 years, but the suggestion that its some rampant issue seems absurd to me. blarzgh fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Dec 29, 2016 |

Speed limits are a quagmire at the best of times. Safety theory, in general for every topic in this thread including road safety, is that administrative enforcement is the least effective. This is the basis behind the most modern ideas of traffic planning where traffic calming features are built into designs to make people feel like they are going as fast as they can handle. e. A relatively recent case of a state stepping in because of a city taking advantage of traffic laws. But I always grew up with the advice from my parents that any highway that isn't an interstate (and occassionally some interstates but that seemed the earliest to be cleaned up) is going to lead to a speed trap. zedprime fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Dec 29, 2016 |

There is a town in Ohio where the speed limit its 25 it is so hard not to speed on that road. School limit is 20. There are 3 schools on that road. The school limit is turned on even during Christmas break. I swear that it is set like that to print money.

that one isn't as big a deal as it looks. the breaker will still blow, you just can't turn it off (or back on again) by hand without getting a screwdriver. probably a ghetto way of rigging the breaker so that something important doesn't get turned off without planning.

I can show you several in NC where it's a flat, straight, wide enough for five lanes US highway through a completely dead village where every single commercial building along the road has been boarded up since the 70s and the posted limit is 20MPH.

Or on if someone is working on something (dishwasher?) hardwired into that breaker. I think we discussed that one in one of the various OSHA / wiring / construction threads recently.

There's a town up here in the Cleveland area that got the state laws on Mayors Courts changed because it so heavily abused the 400 feet of I-71 that happened to pass through its jurisdiction. They didn't even have an on/offramp so their officers had to go a significant distance out of their jurisdiction to get out there and back in.

There is a town in upstate NY that has a quarter mile of I-490 that passes through their jurisdiction. Apparently they budget for nearly $300,000 in profits from tickets in that quarter mile every year. After I learned that I was very careful for that tiny stretch.

I'm actually impressed with how neatly that copper is twisted and screwed down. Usually there's like a big ole deck screw just driven through everything with a mallet. Or a short piece of wire skipping the breaker. Good for you guy that wants to see his family burn, but wants his electrical work looking tidy.

Why do people insist on believing the breaker is disabled? No one is going to burn. Worst case scenario is an appliance isn't able to be unplugged for some reason, and someone gets electrocuted working on it.

Why does everyone seem to think this makes the breaker stop working? It doesn't. It stops you from manually tripping it or turning it back on if it does trip. e:  ^fb!

THis is EXACTLY what I was thinking, but.. what's weird is... the car is THROUGH the security gate, then they go back through it to flip the car. WHICH SIDE DO THEY WANT TO BE ON!?!?!

Basically The truck driver tried to swerve to avoid a stopped vehicle, and crashed in the other truck. The second truck driver tried to get him out but the doors where too damaged to be openable. The oil truck driver was passed out inside. I'm not sure if it's visible in that shot, but through a zoomed shot from another angle, you could see the guy become extremely mad at his inability to open the doors.

My car's GPS/SATNAV allows you to draw a box and label that as a "never navigate though area". I only have one set up and it's a small box covering Linndale. Specifically the underpass where they have tons of cameras. Linndale can go STRAIGHT TO HELL. Breaker chat: Little molded-case breakers like that have a trip-free feature where they will open no matter then handle's position. The big medium-voltage switchgear breakers are fun (say 4160 to 35000 volts at up to around 2000 amps). Those breakers have a close (turn on) and a trip (turn off) solenoid. The problem is that if you lose trip circuit power you can get into a situation where you cannot trip the breaker off if there's a fault somewhere. There are some new designs with a capacitor to store power in the trip circuit and if control power is lost that causes the breaker to automatically trip open. But the problem is there are cases where a trip could be way more problematic than a breaker being stuck on.
