I feed a few Maggies so I don't get swooped and they are pretty chill stuffing around having fun in the yard and sprinkler. But one of the motherfuckers likes to sit outside my bedroom and imitate my alarm clock. 1 hour before I need to get up.

This'll be fine once they abolish daylight savings time.

Here’s some fresh content you won’t find anywhere else courtesy yours truly, I think it counts as OSHA because the driver had to be either drunk or playing on his phone or otherwise distracted enough he could have killed someone.




Note: this is actually the 2nd of two hits in one pass. Further up the road, the driver took out two boxes, drove about 200’ along the same pass, and then took these out. Pretty cool.

Hey man, snowplows have the right of way, those mailboxes should've moved over for him.

Relevant OSHA, was working under high tension lines the other day in a boom lift, was only working 15' up and every time bare skin touched bare metal on the lift it gave me tiny stabbing shocks.

It only took all day to realize it was because of the high tension wires.

My brother drove by a Final Destination style accident near Cleveland. An rear end in a top hat in a dump truck hit the sign with the raised bed. The pole went right through the poor pickup driver :smith:



Why do people continue to drive behind dump trucks with their beds raised?

This one is "only" 185 feet. It's stable because the base weighs 30 tons

I've been in a 135, it feels anything but stable fully extended.

The ones they are using on BFR are full on crane trucks, they're insane!

Hell, even most of the CGI in Terminator 2 looks better than what shows up in modern CGI-fests. There are maybe a couple of notable exceptions, but stuff like the T-1000 walking through bars holds up even today.

Wait, Robert Patrick couldn't walk through bars?

I have experienced the tingle. There was a route I used to cycle that went under the electric wires for half a city, and it the tingle hurt! Especially if I was sweaty and I accidentally touched an exposed piece of metal under the saddle, it would zap. I like that warning sign because the first time it happened to me I thought I was about to be struck by lightning or something.

I'll never forget using a small boom lift under some high tension wires, it took me the entire day to realize that the metal wasn't covered in sharp splinters that kept pricking my fingers, I was getting zapped.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing.

there are actually a fuckload of derailments per year in the US (which makes sense, big place), some of them are just worse than others

It's also likely related to why railroads have come up with so many very specific pieces of machinery to redo all of the various parts of track extremely efficiently.
