Wait, really? I know basically nothing about production line robots, but I would've guessed they were set up with preprogrammed instructions like a cnc mill or something.

It's crazy how true this is, my dad got a big four-door truck and it's the roomiest, most comfortable vehicle anyone in the family owns.

Scholtz posted:Whyyyyyyyyyyy would you open the door??? I spent a while watching it, trying to figure out why they didn't just gun the engine as soon as they felt the road tipping up, and I'm guessing that the perspective makes the growing gap look a lot smaller than it actually was. I assume they probably also froze for a while, then had the idea to run to safety but their view of jumping across that gap probably looked pretty terrifying by that point.

All that chat has had me thinking about how drawbridges work way more than ever have before. It took me forever to figure out how that person fell from one a week or two back, because my basic assumption was wrong. I figured that the pivot points were designed to keep the top surface of the paired roadway segments essentially together as the bridge portion rotated up (avoiding any substantial gap), rather than part of the bridge portion also rotating down and creating said gap. I guess there's probably mechanical or design reasons that make this way simpler or cheaper or something?

shame on an IGA posted:open and close the nearest room door while staring at the side with the hinges and all will become clear That's the thing, if they *were* hinged exactly like that, maybe the gap would be bigger than I imagine scaled up to a bridge. But the video has the pivot set up so the bridge section rotates completely away from and under the other road section, which I was totally not picturing. Oh well, obviously I've never lived anywhere that drawbridges were very common, I probably haven't even driven on one for at least twenty years.

Edward IV posted:The section that drops down is acting as and is probably holding counterweights so that the motor(s) can exert less force to lift the bridge. It also means the motors and brakes can be sized much smaller as it no longer needs to rotate and hold up the whole weight of the bridge. While you could have dedicated arms to hold onto the counterweights to separate it from the bridge deck and move the pivot point so that no part of the bridge deck dips below the roadway when moving, it's probably easier and cheaper to build it as a simple span and have the deck dip below like a see-saw. Ok, that makes a lot of sense from the engineering side, thanks.

These videos always remind me of when those multistory indoor playplaces got popular when I was a kid, and I realized I really don't like climbing on even child-friendly equipment way up in the air, even with multiple levels of nets and padding below. And then there's these guys

Bad Munki posted:That reminds me, the trucker convoy apparently hit Des Moines last night. I only know this because a few overpasses nearby had cars stopped on them while people watched the traffic, so I had to ask what was up. Any convoy presence was 100% indistinguishable from the normal I-80 traffic, lol. I hadn't even heard we had one but instantly assumed it was for  FREEDOMBut yeah, I've spent way too much time driving back and forth on Midwest I-80, and it's such a truck-heavy route that I could probably never tell if there was a concerted effort by truckers to protest in favor of a virus.

That reminds me of the Dumbest Thing I Ever Did: as a kid, we decided to pack an empty 12g CO2 cartridge with gunpowder unloaded from shotgun shells, stick a wick in the top, and jam that in the top of a model rocket in the hope that the charge intended to release the parachute would set it off. It worked perfectly, it made one of the biggest explosions I've seen at about 700 feet up without somehow killing or maiming us along the way, I don't know how we were so lucky to this day.
