Yeah, in T*xas here we have to do most concrete pours that happen during the summer overnight or it is just too hot. I am in an urban area so multi-floor construction projects that line up trucks around the block are pretty common, the public library right across the street from my apartment had a pour going on for weeks because the slab at the bottom of the the underground is parking level was 10,000 cubic yards (that’s about 1000 fully loaded concrete trucks). At least two of those trucks are backing up at any time and you end up with a lot of loud beeping for the neighbors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4Lsr8KK1DI And the final building (from about 3:25) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIfIWG6TK5A Most of the downtown projects and night projects recently have been using the white noise buzzers recently and it really helps.

NoWake posted:It's because they don't hear you until they hear you. They go from 0-100, from "It's a beautiful day and I'm relaxed" to "WOW, there's a BIKE going FAST, getouttatheway!" in the span of a split second. Imagine being asleep in bed, and someone wakes you up with a command instead of a nudge. You can also put one of those child bike noisemakers on if you commute on shared ped/bike paths a lot. It can be adjusted to not be super noisy but you still make a bit of a slappy buzzy noise and don’t need to ring the bell except for especially oblivious people.

Dumb Sex-Parrot posted:I think I'm most concerned about the idea of funnelling bicyclists onto a major thoroughfare where vehicles are going at 60mph. It’s a road that has a super wide shoulder on 99.9% of the length so road cyclists wanting to do a 60mile ride love it. But that one section has that merge lane coming in and immediately merging back out and basically no shoulder. It will get a major improvement with better bike lanes in a couple years but this is the fix they picked to at least give the bikes an “official” place to be. They used to just use the whole merging lane but there is also a blind corner right behind the camera in that photo.

His calcified bones have been telling people not to go into caves for the last 1,100 years (he died as a 17 year old Mayan by having two vertebrae shattered, possibly a human sacrifice or some other ritual that killed him as there are lots of skeletons in that cave that died similarly violent deaths)

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.

Seth Pecksniff posted:So I read this thing that said even though trucks have gotten bigger their towing capacity and such has pretty much remained the same. Is this true? I figure this thread would know Gas mileage, especially for diesels, has gotten a lot better in the last 20 years so inefficiency isn’t standing still (they’re still way behind cars). I think towing capacity has a lot to do with weight distribution and there is a certain point where you have to move to weird hitch mechanisms or more wheels to get more trailer.

frumpykvetchbot posted:They had crossed late and got caught behind the gates on the far side of the bridge. If you were in that situation, at least up until the bridge actually starts going up and lifting our car in the air, would you smash through the gates with probably hundreds or thousands of dollars of damages, or would you sit tight and assume that the bridge attendant would notice and open the gates or something to let you out? No, they crossed well before the gate behind them closed. You can see it close when they stop. They were probably stopped by a barrier on the other side of the bridge closing too (out of frame). The bridge operator just trapped them on the bridge and opened it, and got fired for it.

ChesterJT posted:Parkour! When they replaced the transmitter hut for a local AM station my dad hung on to the big knife switch they used to power the whole thing up and it was pretty similar. Like just big slabs of copper, enough to power up a 5,000 watt AM station. AM uses multi-tower directional arrays so this one has four towers. It’s on a low voltage relay to control the light switch in an office now, which is a good use of a big vintage knife switch imo.

Sagebrush posted:Yep! It's the acid that isn't really dangerous because of its acidity (which is moderate), but because of its extreme toxicity. It will turn your bones to jello and stop your heart. Working in semiconductor fabs this was always a nightmare chemical. They use it for so much stuff. At the (built in the 1980s, I worked there in 2000-2001) AMD fab 14/15, I used to see wet etch dudes carrying around unmarked containers of clear liquid all the time, you don’t know if it is water or HF. This was pre-automation. You want to do a wet etch? Load the wafers into the acid proof cassette, dip it by hand and tongs into an acid bath, and watch a timer. See a water spill on the ground? Don’t touch it, put a cone on it and find someone who can test it.

Ror posted:Acoustic dispersion. In certain mediums the frequencies of a soundwave sort of seperate based on their wavelength and the high frequencies travel significantly faster than the low ones. So you hear the high sounds first throughout the medium and then the low fills in. It's the exact same phenomenon in the metal cables used to make the laser sounds. yeah reverb coils make that same kinda sound if you accidentally tip over your guitar amp while it’s on you get a star wars laser sound.

But since she didn't want her expensive parachute confiscated, she borrowed one with a cord positioned different than her normal one and proceeded to fall to her death with the parachute unopened. well?? did that convince them to allow base jumping or not???
