Maybe yovo68 can set up his equipment on University Ave at 14th St in Charlottesville. Tall trucks seem to get stuck under there on a regular basis despite the flashing lights and LOUD bell.

While what you’re saying is true, it’s also true that trains don’t like inclines very much and raising even a short section of track requires a much longer section to be raised along with it, therefore it’s a significantly higher cost than saying “Oh, we’ll just raise main street by 6" to help with the drainage…

Based upon a picture shared in this comment section, it’s pretty clear the logs were overhanging the trailer by about 10 feet and the SUV driver must have been texting or otherwise distracted and rear-ended the truck.

Speed limits are also based on things like sight lines, shoulder width (or lack of), and other safety improvements on the road. Even if an F1 driver is driving in a (street legal) racing car designed to hug the curves, there’s always the risk of coming around a blind corner to find someone pulling out/turning or…

“When is it okay to touch someone else’s parked car?”

“Burks, give Jackson your jersey, he’s going to play as you to get around the suspension. Now Jackson, keep in mind your a freshman making his first start of his high school career.”

Serious question: Why would Snyder spend ANY money on things related to football when he doesn’t give a crap about winning, the stadium the team plays home games in, or the fans that want to watch the team play?

If anyone else is a bridge nerd like me, I tracked down the bridge in the background and it’s the Siouxland Veterans Memorial Bridge carrying US 77 between Sioux City, IA and South Sioux City, NE over the Missouri River.

I’m not a metallurgist, but I’m pretty sure steel doesn’t burn.

And probably not able to assess the ease with which a non-climber would approach it. The fear of heights alone is something that climbers of any level have become accustomed to.

Wait, people go to IHOP after church? Man, back when I would go with a group to brunch after church I’m glad I lived in a city with a great local diner.

Exclusivity. If you built walls around every booth in every IHOP and crammed a prep station next to each one and told people they could enjoy IHOP food in a tiny cramped space, no one would find that any more appealing than eating at IHOP (in fact, most people would find that horrible). But, you take one booth at one…

Since your wife is a smoker, you are probably more accustomed to the tobacco smell, and it makes sense it wouldn’t bother you as much. But, speaking as someone who doesn’t smoke or vape and doesn’t live with anyone who smokes or vapes, tobacco smoke is more offensive to me. It’s like taking a campfire, removing all…

Oh no. This guy barely represented a non-sexual display of partial nudity!

It wasn’t even a gift from the police, it was a gift from himself since he was the one who decided to get into a car so blitzed he managed to flip a low center of gravity super-car in a single vehicle accident. That’s called a “consequence” not a gift.

The problem is there is no perfect answer. Blocking public transit certainly seems to be counter-productive because it forces more people to rely on fossil fuel vehicles to get to work and does disproportionaly disrupts the lives of those who can least afford to find alternative modes of transit. Blocking roads makes…

It’s not 28% of your income, it’s 28% of your premiums. (Of course, the way health care costs have skyrocketed, that could be 28% of their income to some workers)

One thing is for certain: Dahl has likely violated some industrial/health law by allowing biological waste to be dumped into what amounts to a storm drain. As for Lestina, he is partly responsible since he has a floor drain in his basement that he’s never really checked on to figure out where it goes. Dahl’s is mainly…

Wait, did we just watch someone violate New Jersey law, or is only illegal if he actually squeezes the pump handle?

Don’t forget mice/rats, feral cats, basically a lot of pests love tall grass. I’m not saying a cut lawn is the answer, but neither is having a lawn and allowing it to be a haven for creatures to carry disease and cause other issues when you live in a neighborhood.
