Here the standard tradie vehicle is a ute that came from the factory with a flat-bed but was subsequently converted with a 'canopy' that has a ton of compartments and pull-out drawers for all your tools and consumables (bulk materials should be on-site already, not your job to carry them).

It'd be loving amazing if they made a new El Camino with this kind of option but that would be a Practical Vehicle and so is not allowed to be sold in America, where your vehicle needs to proudly proclaim your (imaginary) penis size to all and sundry.

I always thought vacuum welding sounded pretty cool, you just get the things you want to weld into a vacuum, clean off any oxidization, and then stick them together*, and as long as they're the same material on both sides they're essentially tricked into becoming a single object. * although I understand they need to be ground as close to perfectly flat as possible and then use a special jig to slide them together so you get the entire surface touching at the same moment, iirc.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:I'd like to see what a dug-in Kraut 88 would do to that pickup. The Sherman: -Cresting a hill? Skip off, gouge a giant gash in the front armor, scare the entire crew shitless in a very literal sense as they hit reverse while the entire vehicle resonates like a giant bell around them. -Flat terrain? 88mm of Teutonic gently caress You goes right through and lodges itself in the engine before detonating. Angled armor is a bitch if used properly and the Sherman was designed so tall so it had room for the cannon's breach to swing up when they depressed the guns. A hull-down Sherman is an absolute bitch to take frontally. As compared to just about anyone else at the time who made their tanks short/flat so they were easier to hide behind a hill but had gently caress-all gun depression so cresting a that hill under fire was a good way to commit suicide. Source: too many hours playing War Thunder. The Brodozer? I remember a while back someone posted a video of the aftermath when some contractor's brodozer slammed at high speed into a fresno scraper. The largest piece of the truck was basically the right half of the chassis: the left side and everything above was gone. Driver died immediately. Construction equipment? Some scratches that will buff out. I imagine the aftermath of an 88mm HE shell going off would be like a bulldozer suddenly spawned into existence inside the truck due to a teleporter accident. That assumes a frontal shot through the engine block or an excellently placed timed fuse. I refuse to believe the cabin material of those brodozers have enough metal to set off an 88mm's impact fuse unless the gun crew nails a support beam, so a side shot would almost certainly overpenetrate.

EIDE Van Hagar posted:ATM Cave in this case stands for Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave and if you’re ever in belize it’s a crazy way to spend a day they just let tourists in to walk around with the mayan pottery and skeletons. Most of them have crushed skulls tho so that one is the most photogenic. Our tour guide was incredibly casual about leading us off the path, digging up some Mayan pottery, and then breaking a piece off to show how it was made. Belize is really, really nonchalant about their heritage.

One of my favorite things at work is to refer to my coworkers' vaguely truck shaped vehicles as sedans, because they have four doors. I have one coworker with a pickup designed for actual work and he's joined in.

The other selling point for trucks these days is the seats. My mom has hip problems, and finding a sedan with seats that work for her has been a bitch. She’d love a Subaru, but the Outback is not terribly plush. You know what vehicles have plush as gently caress seats? Giant trucks. They’re also easier for olds to get in and out of than cars where your rear end is closer to the ground. Plus they give that false sense of security that old people enjoy.

Cichlidae posted:Our tour guide was incredibly casual about leading us off the path, digging up some Mayan pottery, and then breaking a piece off to show how it was made. Belize is really, really nonchalant about their heritage. When I applied to be a tour guide they asked me about my experiences and I told them I had met people who had guides like this. The interviewers from the -National- school of anthropology and history went pale, haha. I told them I'd never do anything like that, of course, and they approved me not without a big talk about how that is a big no-no. Well, duh. But it goes to show that it should start with proper certification for guides. I took all the theorical classes but don't have my license yet because I need to schedule a TOEFL test and also get a first aid course certificate. However I'm like, a middle class kid who went to college and so is bothering to go through these motions. Most guides are local people who learn the local (often BS) stories about the place and then stand outside the archeological site all day. They might get a fake ID, no one's going to bother to come and ask to check ID. As a 'legit' guide I'm more in risk of being mobbed by these gray area people and intimidated into leaving a site. My local experiences aside, I would say it's not like they're nonchalant but they see it differently. Of course academically most locals have little interest, but they do recognize it as their heritage. Over here when people dig up an artifact in their fields they say it was from 'their grandparents' and take it home, where they do care for it with some reverence. If anything that pottery guy knows there's plenty more where that came from, because and this is the most important aspect I think, there's no money for digging. Over here in Mexico we're massive and our economy is kind of consecuently big, but even so there's no money for archeology or caring of the sites. On paper the budgets look great but in practice the money vanishes in the pockets of the rich at the top. So the institutes have no money for taking care of the places, let alone checking if guides over there are on the up and up. One of the biggest sites here is still like 90% unexcavated because it's so massive but there's simply no money to start digging. Red tape and bureucracy are suffocating everything and now with the train being built in the mayan rivera things are going to be wild. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSMfSFbjk84
