I’m usually on team “gently caress heights” but this seems safe as heck. Aside from the canopy hitting filmer in the back of the head (which they looked at on video), this dude is good at their loving job. E: Watching a couple more times: Oh poo poo, they already cleared the part of the canopy that would have hit them in the back of the head. quote:this dude is good at their loving job. goatsestretchgoals fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Oct 6, 2023 |

Yeah, but that is still unnecessarily dangerous way of doing that; there are tree harvesters which basically defoliates and cuts that trunk to 5 meter pieces while holding the rest of it on a huge steel grip, even upright if needed.

Yeah but look at that backyard. Getting that kind of machinery in there isn't going to happen without disassembling the entire shed at a minimum. Dude is an ace at their job and probably gets paid really well for it. Sometimes things are just sorta risky

Hire cost of an excavator with an arm long enough to do the job from the road plus the specialised deforestation tool too. Tree surgeon is the appropriate option, dude clearly knows his poo poo. Edit: ^^^^^ I'd heard helicopter pilots were nuts but, wow.

ilmucche posted:That wobble at the end though oof There are folks out there actually doing scientific research, but mostly it's a small amount of people with some appropriate weather knowledge and vast swathes of yahoos clogging up the roads not knowing what they're doing. It's a real hazard, I was just saying in a different thread that I'm shocked how there have only been maybe a couple dozen deaths during active storm chases, I'd figure the number would be in the hundreds and growing every year with the number of idiots out there.

Gathering photographic evidence, shooting tornadoes with close-range Doppler radar, and putting sensors in the direct path of a twister (while you are driving the sensor platform like a loving maniac) are all legitimate chasing activities that are undertaken by meteorology departments at many universities.

He told the AP, however, that he heard the movie but didn’t see it. quote:According to Tesla’s account of the crash, the car’s sensor system, against a bright spring sky, failed to distinguish a large white 18-wheel truck and trailer crossing the highway. In a blogpost, Tesla said the self-driving car attempted to drive full speed under the trailer “with the bottom of the trailer impacting the windshield of the Model S”.

Stoatbringer posted:Why doesn’t the truck have side barriers to stop cars going under? For side barriers to stop a modern, heavy car (and EVs are heavier still), how strong would they have to be and hence how much would they have to weigh? What is the environmental cost of burning extra fuel to carry that weight around, and of the extra truck journeys required (each truck can carry less cargo due to overall vehicle weight limits)? What is the cost in extra road maintenance due to the wear from heavier/more trucks? Is all of that cost worth it just to allow one lovely car company to keep calling its cruise control "autopilot"?

Also no barrier in the world can save a car that T-bones it at 70mph. If the car isn’t able to pass through it’ll just pancake right then and there and the guy dies on this side of the truck rather than the other
