It was a quick case to close for the cops. They just followed the torn up asphalt to the house and the ATM was in the driveway with a tarp over it. EDIT: Written out like that it seems too unbelievably stupid to be true. Now I'm thinking that it's one of those bar stories that my drunken self filed under "this totally happened".

I bought one of those when I traveled to Canada, and it sparked pretty heavily whenever I plugged it in my phone charger. I was actually scared of setting fire to the house I was a guest in because of this piece of crap.

I suppose we might have covered this in this thread before, as my browser shows I've read this page before, but: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Big_Branch_Mine_disaster posted:Former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship was convicted in 2015 of a misdemeanor conspiring to willfully violate safety standards and was sentenced to one year in prison.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Blankenship posted:He called himself a "political prisoner", quote:In August 2017, Blankenship funded a television ad featuring the sister of one of the miners killed in the Upper Big Branch coal mine explosion. The sister, Gwen Thomas, asks in the ad "if the United States Mine Safety and Health Administration insisted that changes be made which reduced Upper Big Branch’s airflow before the explosion."  quote:Blankenship entered the Republican primary in the 2018 United States Senate election in West Virginia, challenging incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Joe Manchin. His television ads were aimed at "getting the truth out" about the Upper Big Branch explosion and "exposing the government cover-up."

There's is a close to 100% chance the key was under the floor mat or in an ash tray if it wasn't just left in the ignition. It's just too much of a pain in the rear end to have all the people that might need to jump in and move one have a key let alone just the operators.

We had the same happen before in Quebec, though I'm not sure they dragged it home. It's fairly common for someone to attempt to steal an ATM with their pickup only to find out it's a hell of a lot heavier than they thought.

As promised, pics of the 14th street bridge from this last trip:  Notice that the remnants of the last meal in the first pic. Honestly, any driver that takes a truck through that entire area at all is loving stupid. There's no lack of signs that is not an area for big rigs. loving gives me flashbacks to when I did logistics and learned just how inattentive or careless drivers can be.

I saw the aftermath of a bridge can-opening someone the other day. The funny thing is it's shorter on one side than the other (I think below 12'6" though which most bridges are). The hilarious part is there's no reason what so ever for trucks to go down that road. There's no local delivery points for them that way.

This stupid stuff happens. https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/4418907-orr-man-charged-robbing-bank The full story is that this dude robbed a bank in my home town that's right on the lake. No one at the bank really cared; the amount they keep in the drawers is minimal but he pepper sprayed them anyway. He rode his ATV across the lake so that everyone could see his tracks. He lived not far from HWY 53. Here's the funny part that's not in the article. There were 2 Highway patrol guys with nothing better to do having lunch in a town 20 miles away that were itching for a bust. There was a Sheriff's deputy in town that needed something to do other than cruise around. There was a BIA guy on the road near the dudes place. There were a couple of Tribal cops with nothing better to do near there (it's close to the rez). He ran himself into a full task force for the probably $300 he took. All of them just itching to use their training and cop it up. He apparently was unfamiliar with what happens when there is not a lot of crime in a small town, but there are a lot of law enforcement officers that want something to do. https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/4418907-orr-man-charged-robbing-bank

So obviously flying on a 737 MAX is a terrible idea, but it looks like anyone planning on flying in a dreamliner should probably think again: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/20/business/boeing-dreamliner-production-problems.html The kicker: "In North Charleston, the pace of production has quickened. Starting this year, Boeing is producing 14 Dreamliners a month, split between North Charleston and Everett, up from the previous 12. At the same time, Boeing said it was eliminating about a hundred quality control positions in North Charleston."

In a performance review seen by The Times, a senior manager downgraded him for “using email to express process violations,” instead of engaging “F2F,” or face to face. Yeah, that's some bullshit. One of the first lessons of working in any large organization is to make sure everything of substance has an email to back it up. Talking face to face is great, but if it's not followed up with an email starting out "per our last conversation" then it didn't really happen. It's not even just a CYA thing, I ask people all the time to send me an email about whatever they were asking for, just so I have a record of exactly what they were talking about. If one wanted to be really charitable, it's possible they were talking about only using email rather than talking to people and backing that up with email, but Boeing isn't exactly running high on the benefit of the doubt right now.
