It's also a scene in the lovely new Midway movie. There a guy jumps on it and just barely stops it in time before it hits the tower structure.

Lol at like 4 minutes they address the shirtless situation, Yuri blyat they're making a movie and you're here with your hairy chest, gonna embarrass the company! Also I liked at about 20 minutes the camo shirt guy is pointing at some gauges like "what's up with these?" to another guy and he's like "why are you asking me??" and then another shirtless or maybe tank-top guy pops his head in.

Filling out customs forms to the most accurate detail is a thing for people who want to waste time in an airport. I have fond* memories of my dad having me total up the value of the used books I purchased on a trip so he could write to the penny how much stuff we were bringing back. You'll be shocked to hear that my dad also drives to the speed limit exactly.

*the opposite of fond

Well then once you don't fill it out completely accurately and you'll get your day ruined by a particularly anal agent.

I was leaving a country once that had a cap on the amount of cash you can carry out - not in the US, this was like $500. I had quite a bit more, not thousands but clearly over the limit. I wrote down $500 and usually they don't give a poo poo unless you write something crazy but this time he went at me. I don't think I looked nervous but maybe I did. "How much cash are you carrying? Is that exactly it? Are you sure? Should we check?". Thankfully I managed to keep the poker face and said something like "not at all, this is exactly how much I have so there's no reason to count it" and he let it go. A somewhat pants-making GBS threads moment.

Going into the US, I think the form asks you to list any food you have. I declared the 3 packs of waffles I was bringing for my relatives because it's food, but the guy looked at me like I was the rear end in a top hat.

tl;dr: these are the only officials I wouldn't gently caress with. I can argue technicalities with the local cops until they get bored but these guys can deny entry/boarding for no reason and completely screw up your plans

There isn't a video (although an oncoming car saw it happen) but in some final destination poo poo, a tree just randomly fell on a passing car near here. There were rather strong winds today but nothing crazy so it's just extremely bad luck.

They have it like that in Saint Petersburg, and I'm pretty sure that the system was set during the Soviet era. But then the commies were also the first to space...

I can see some reasons to why you wouldn't want that system, though. For one it requires more precision at stoppage, which slows the system a little bit and requires a bit more engineering to get right. Then it adds to the likelihood of a door or sensor jamming or misworking. And you couldn't have variable length trains without some programming, which adds another level that can fail.

All in all it should be easy to solve for us humans, but unfortunately we have delegated these things to engineers... just look at the new Berlin Brandenburg airport.

Is that all original? All other commie metros like in Moscow, Kiev or even Prague don't have any barriers and people rarely manage to kill themselves (accidentally). Which are of course fairly common in more modern systems, I think Taipei, HK and Shanghai all have them. But's not practical when most of your rolling stock is 50 years old at best.

That all looks correct. He maintained multiple points of attachment to the pylon until after he'd hooked himself to the helicopter.

What happens if the chopper gets blown away by a sudden gust of wind or the pilot jerks the stick (heh) accidentally while the guy is attached to both it and the pylon?

Okay, what is this test he's talking about?

I used to inspect concrete paving operations for PennDOT, big honking interstate interchange pours, trucks pulling up for days. We'd take samples for entrained air, for slump, and to pour test cylinders that'd then be cured in varying conditions which we'd then crush to make sure the specified compressive strength was met.

All of that stuff was done with calibrated equipment and gages. The cylinder molds were specified dimensions. We didn't just dump a random amount of concrete in whatever random container we had laying around. Guy says that's the " simple cup adhesion shear test," but that's not a thing that is mentioned in my concrete manual, and Googling that phrase doesn't come up with anything that seems even close; in fact the only exact hit is that tweet itself. He later posts a screengrab of some text detailing the process, and I buy it, but what the hell is it?

I doubt there's an a formal test that requires paper coffee cups, maybe it was just someone screwing around with different mixes? I dunno, I don't work with construction, but there's no way anyone would bother making these instead of, like, throwing a rock.

There was a similar video years ago but there I think they at least had the area closed off and there might've been a helmet. This looks like a very sketchy travelling circus thing where they'll set it up at your place for a party or something.
