See, people piss and moan about transporting spent nuclear fuel rods on a train through [your state here] yet there's no regulations about not storing 6 million bees in a crash proof container. Priorities, people!

Bees are transported by truck in the US. Many western states have ports of entry on the Interstate highways where trucks stop and show paperwork concerning their load. Trucks containing livestock always have to stop for a longer inspection, and that includes bee trucks.

What I'm saying is that every so often there will be a cloud of bees at truck inspection sites and the only thing truckers can do is hope for the best. One time a bee stowed away in my cab and stung me the next day.

And here we see why you keep the throttle pinned when landing on a carrier

Thankfully the carrier deck is actually rather high off the water. It's so high a B52 can fly below the flight deck.

The B52 looks like it's going down when it's actually in level flight because the wings are tilted up to facilitate greater lift during takeoff and allowing a big ugly fat gently caress to take off from shorter runways. I forget what the actual name of this tilted wing effect is though.

I've seen several storm drains bump up above ground level (and thus become useless), the process is along the lines of "the soft dirt of the surrounding area erodes/sinks, the concrete/steel drain doesn't"

I worked a few times at a grocery store meat department where the drain was raised like that, the foundation had settled some over the years but the pipe somehow didn't. It was a pain in the rear end squeegeeing the water up a little incline into the drain after cleaning up.

I've been spying on a Facebook group of roofing company owners for work, kinda get a lay of the land and take notes on how to market them.

The overwhelming response when someone posted this in the group was along the lines of "whatever it takes to get the job done!"

On a related note, they also spend a lot of time bitching about how they can't find non-felons with clean drug tests for their jobs. I wonder why

Then hire ex-felons that can pass drug tests.

It's okay to miss an exit. Just turn around at the next one and live another day. Geez.

I still have to dump the contents of my dashcam. I'm pretty sure I caught someone bailing out of an exit lane far too late and launching off a median.

It's also ok to know that you want exit 45 and get into the exit lane around mile 43 instead of trying to pass every big truck possible before exiting at the last moment. I regularly see people pull the "gotta pass the big truck, poo poo gotta exit across the gore point cutting off the big truck RIGHT NOW" and luckily they haven't hit me or anything else. They could sit in the right lane behind me for 2 extra seconds but noooooo

I legit don't think there are any, although I'm not an engineer. Even top spec trains have trouble with leaves, although much less so than older stock due to computerised wheel slip controls and sanding systems

It may be of interest to note that it isn't leaves that are the problem in themselves; it's the oils released from some types of leaves after they are crushed. Hence the whole "wrong type of leaves" thing.

So far as I can tell the best controls for that are just cutting back the drat trees, but then you have problems with the people who live nearby and the wildlife that lives, well, nearby too. Either way it is not really a safety issue anymore, it's primarily a performance issue now. Insert sex joke here.

Thanks. I knew of the leaf problem from some comedy show, I didn't know there was a real safety issue with oils and that there were already some solutions. Thanks. Please post more
