The only atrocity here is the fact that their editor can’t distinguish between “maybe” and “may be.”

Best part of the whole video is how perfectly the door clears the side of the bed

I’ve always wondered why all the Van Hool buses meandering around SJ and Palo Alto never have any bikes hanging off the racks. The riders are all too chicken shit to ride their bike five blocks let alone walk more than two.

BBC needs to drop Eddie Jordan in addition to Evans. 5 is way too many and Jordan isn’t entertaining and has provided zero valuable insight. The best part about the original trio was that you could cram all three on screen for an episode long race and let them banter away. With five people that’s never going to happen…

Wait... If the dinosaurs were wiped out in the flood, why are they on his boat (I know there are much bigger unanswered questions, but it seems pretty obvious)? Did they fall off the boat?

I’ve heard that car carriers are responsible for any damage caused to the cars while on their truck. So maybe he’s just trying to save his own ass. Or maybe he was smuggling drugs in the Jetta.

I don’t understand how people can put their absolute trust and faith (and their lives) in an autopilot system that’s been around for less than a year. I barely trust other people with my life when I’m a passenger in their car, let alone Tesla’s brand new operating system. I’m all for autonomous cars, but we’re still a…

Ditto. I was shocked when they said “it will be reused.” That looks like several hundred thousand CY of straight fill.

The cranes they’re using (looks like Liebherr LR 1300s) break down and actually arrive on semi trucks. So they’re small enough to fit through the tunnel or whatever access road they have (no taller and slightly wider than a shipping container). You actually need another smaller crane to take them apart, which would…

It’s expanded polystyrene (EPS or Geofoam). It’s used in lieu of traditional dirt fill. Cheaper, much easier to handle and weighs significantly less, which can be a huge advantage when it’s being piled on top of a tunnel. The portion of the video when he says “auditorium being covered with more construction foam” is…

But the 456GT has a gated shifter. I’d pay 3x for that alone.

I recently heard the plague is making a resurgence in Idahoan ground squirrels.

How does the FAA go about opening these? I’m assuming they have a slightly less destructive method than a miter saw. Looks like it was riveted together and/or possibly welded. Maybe they just cut in the right location? (If he says during the video my apologies, too lazy to put my headphones in at work)

If you watch the second video carefully, as soon as the crane starts to tip (:16ish seconds) one of the oilers jumps onto the outrigger, as if he can stop it from falling. Edit: Also, it’s called a boom, not an “arm”

Yes. Modern cranes have an audible alarm that triggers when you exceed the manufacturer’s recommended capacity for the combination boom extension and load weight. You have to physically turn the alarm off. In addition, load charts are always significantly less than the actual capacity of the crane (similar to a safety…

I love my Malm. I can also confirm that it loves to fall over when two or more drawers are open.

Why wasn’t this research performed before dogs were even in the picture? You would think that finding a biological indicator of hypoglycemia (other than a blood test) would have been a priority from the beginning.

YES. I’ve been saying this for years! I don’t even think a big, obvious indicator would work. Either no dash lights without headlights or make them all auto, all the time. My ‘07 MS3 dash won’t light up unless the lights are on, and it’s never bothered me at all. Also, it’s harder to signal someone to turn ON their…

Frightening how good these are getting. Someone tried to steal my identity after I visited Rome but they tried to pull $100 out - I had about $50 in my account (college) so the transaction was rejected. Joke’s on them!

Not sure who would actually want a path to that water. The bay down by the Dumbarton bridge and FB HQ (and all the way to San Jose for that matter) is disgusting. Stinks of sulfur, littered with dead birds, etc.
