They didn’t, the re-engineered it to use smaller beams, which, in effect, made it 8" higher from the perspective of the road surface.

They didn’t raise it, they can’t, really. The re-engineered it to use thinner support beams. It’s a rail trestle, raising it would require redoing the grading of miles and miles of tracks in both directions from the bridge. They also can’t lower the road, because both the grading of the road having to get changed for…

I believe that’s actually the case, if you watch a lot of the videos, that majority are moving trucks, i.e. things rented by people who don’t regularly drive large trucks, so they’d be both unfamiliar with the height of their truck, and unfamiliar with what roads are/are not permitted to drive on.

Those really only work in dark tunnels, not outside in daylight.

This does NOT apply to Vermont. We have only the one Costco, and no BJs or Sam’s Club. You have to be a member to buy beer or wine*, and they don’t sell liquor. Liquor in Vermont is state run...you can sell liquor inside a private store, like gas station or beverage store, but all liquor transactions go through a…

My local Costco has gas pumps...but no gas. They had them installed over a year ago, but they are prohibited from turning them on, as it were, until a nearby intersection gets overhauled because it’s already got too much traffic and people lining up for cheap gas will make it worse.
On top of that, the owner of several…

You ask, I deliver:

Burlington, VT:
If you’re coming from South Burlington, headed straight to downtown Burlington on Main St/Williston Rd., for the LOVE OF GOD, you need to be in the LEFT lane. The right lane becomes a right turn only lane at the intersection of Prospect, and I am very sick of that whole lane getting shut down because…

One thing you missed is in that in Montreal you cannot go right on red.

Good commenters post replies that are perfectly written obviating the need for others to comment any further.

Is no one going to point out that the tweet makes no sense because Steve was killed by a STING RAY, not a devil or manta ray?

Counterpoint: Mint Oreos. Though obviously not for Kevin’s wife.

Thank you. You know what’s really fucked up? You can still get Lime Skittles in the Orchard mix.
Guess what DOES grow in an orchard? Apples. Guess what (sort of technically) doesn’t? Limes. They grow in GROVES. Is it the same thing under a different name? Yeah, but I’ll take any excuse I can find to nitpick Skittles…

I’ve had the best luck finding then in drug stores. CVS, Rite-Aid, etc..
Never seen them in a grocery store here in Vermont, only drug stores for some reason.*

A noble post, embiggens the smallest blog.

Retro no longer, I saw them in a store the other day, they brought them back.

Thank you, I stand with you, Gabe.
I don’t mind being silly and goofy, but Boaty McBoatFace is just plain fucking LAZY. It’s the epitome of internet-meme-based “lol monkey-cheese so random!” humor, but somehow with even less effort.
Blanky McBlankFace is just such a generic template that could be applied to literally…

Man, when he was going through the repairs and problems I was just going through a checklist in my mind for my “Ranger” (‘99 Mazda B4000.)
I had a broken sway bar link, mushy brakes, a cracked/busted cruise control button, etc...
I didn’t think the cruise control buttons were that easy to replace, I figured because of…
