I don’t know which variety New York City uses, but I do know the 1 brush variety is likely used by most highway departments. I guess Colorado can afford to shut down a lane of I-70 in the day time, but Virginia can only shut down lanes in the Hampton Road tunnels at night.

There are two kinds of dirt, the light kind, which is attracted to dark objects, and the dark kind, which is attracted to light objects.

It somehow both gets old and never gets old its pure genius! 

I believe what you saw moving is the piece to which the height limiter (the bar the truck hit) is mounted. The wave-like motion in the video indicates an item that is flexible and not securely mounted all along its length.

Me, every time these articles/videos show up: “This is getting old.”

They need to start and auto roof repair shop on the other side of the bridge. That’s where the money is.

They have to bend some, the distance between the two wrist pins varies slightly thanks to the offset timing and linear travel of the pistons.

They don’t seem to bend in the cutaway video though. The pistons just have offset timing for TDC

Let me don my thinking garage and ponder that...

Usually it has to do with one of the tires PSI being off from the other. Even as little as a 1.5PSI differential can cause a dramatic crash such as this! It’s wise to invest in a high quality and accurate digital pressure gauge so this never happens.

Damn it I’m probably the only other bastard old enough to get the reference!

Thanks, someone else pointed that out -- I was thinking of it in terms of “Uber driving sitting around in his car, waiting for a fare.” I completely forgot that a lot of them are sitting at home and will go jump in the car when the rates are attractive.

Great analogy, thanks for the education. I wasn’t thinking about Uber drivers being “off the clock” and needing encouragement to go get a fare. Makes sense!

I was gonna say Self-Selection Bias but I think you’re right, or they’re very similar. It’s been a long time since my last stats class....but like any online review, you have to assume ~10:1 ratio of complaints to positive experiences.

I feel like you’re only getting receipts from drivers who feel like they got screwed with this change. I’m betting you didn’t get any receipts from drivers where Uber lost money on a fare because they paid a sticky surge to the driver even though the passenger did not pay a fare.

That’s clag.  The drivers pick it up at the end of a race to add weight.  Next time you’re watching a race, watch what the winner does immediately after taking the checkered flag:  He’ll take a hard move off-line to pick up clag.

I push competitors off the track all the time in video games. Why should Verstappen have to leave room for anyone else to race? Each corner should be like Thunderdome: 2 enter, 1 leaves. 

They always drive over all the marbles and rubber junk on their cooldown lap to pick up as much weight as they can, and it melts to the hot tires. The tires didn’t look like that during the race.

Guy was trying to hide his car after a hit in run in Vancouver.  Got busted.......
