Hmmmm. Fire a DU tank round through a sheet of steel and hope the friction heats it up enough to reach rare? Might take a contraption to kick the plate down and drop the steak, but it seems do-able.

Trucks are like boats, going faster pushes them lower. The safest way to squeeze under a bridge is to gun it.

Punch the brakes as you're heading in to lower the front, then gun it at the halfway point to lower the back end.

This is totally true.

Crip-tank...sounds like some saints row poo poo.

Its like Shark tank, but instead you pitch new ideas for car jacking, dope dealing, pimping etc to cryps.
If they like your idea, you're fine. If they don't they'll kill you.

11'8'' bridge becoming the 12'4'' bridge with hydraulic jacks, and why they could bring it up to that height but no further.

I am blown away by how close the level crossing is to the bridge. So many destroyed trucks and trailers for the sake of a couple of extra turns.

can anyone tell me what the battery might be for and if this is ok?

edit: because I'm assuming the risk of a spark probably makes it not ok

It looks like the battery is hooked up to the pump motor so that you can get the gas out of the tank. It's probably okay although being perched up there instead of mounted somewhere in a box just looks bad

Yeah it's an electronic pump. It's perfectly fine. The clamps probably aren't going to arc and even if one did somehow you'd have to douse the battery in gas for it to matter.

OK it's still bugging me... say someone is pumping gas, there's fumes, they bump the battery with their rear end causing it to unclamp and spark?

I deffo agree with the point that it should be mounted better

Concentration matters even in my "rear end in a top hat sprays gas everywhere" the battery posts arcing probably isn't going to do anything.

Usually you just leave the battery on the ground on a price of wood.

They're barrios. Look it up. Basically, "the poors" can't afford proper housing, so they build shanty towns (?) that sprawl up the side of the valley. There's always a valley. Everything about it sucks, but you don't get to choose where and how you live without good money.

Is that a tanning light in front of him pointing directly into his eyes? Or an unusually sharp glare from a window? It's crossfit so I assume he's getting a forehead tan while doing dips.

It looks like he's kneeling where you are intended to sit, to do lifts using the weight around his belt rather than just using his body weight, and using his legs to help him lift?

Assisted dip machines already have adjustable weights so it's kinda weird dude has wrapped an additional weight with a chain around himself.

Yeah he's making the dips easier with the machine assist and harder with the with the belt weight. Maybe he was doing weighted dips and just folded out the knee pad to get the last few reps out cos it's easier than taking off the weight

Could be on the lowest setting and made harder by adding weight.

Then why use the dip assist machine to begin with?

I've never been to a gym, my strength comes from physical labor. it never occurred to me that someone would need assist doing dips considering it's such a basic human movement. Are there ladder climbing assist machines, too?
