Also, that added chromium is really abrasive, so die wear becomes a big problem.

This. This! This!!

Yup! It has been done many times before. Lower the bridge deck onto a pontoon, unhook all the cables, tug the deck to a temporary spot, let whatever it is that’s too high sail past, and reverse the process.

That’s not how Rotterdam rolls! Those from Rotterdam are a bunch of Speak Your Mind pragmatic folks. I should know, I live there, I’m one of them. A spade is a spade, and if “unhooking” that bridge girder for 2 days is going to be beneficial overall, they’d do that, despite an earlier statement to not want to open the…

however; the Rotterdam city council denied Oceanco’s petition and the boat was moved to a different shipyard with without its masts early in the morning.

I was hoping for a mention of use of cheese brine as booster for road salt effectiveness. See https://gizmodo.com/screw-salt-wisconsin-is-de-icing-its-roads-with-cheese-1468422497

“Trading in for a younger model” is relevant in this case. A 45 year old breaks up with a 35 year old because the latter was involved with a 23 year old.

Anyway, Cobée says that in the 1970s, a car weighed about 700kg (about 1,500 pounds). Now, the average vehicle weight is 1,300kg (2,866 pounds)

Many will read your comment and might assume it’s sarcasm.

Whatever happened to the Jeremy Clarkson who did dumb shit with cars? We all sort of liked that guy. The current Clarkson seems full of bile, which no one likes. It’s also when you know it’s probably time to call it a career.

I kinda have to disagree with you here. It’s one of those things that are only obvious after the fact.

One important detail is missing though: The city of Amsterdam wants to remove a total of 10,000 street parking places, over a period of several years.

Robb, with the recent Porsche 911 Carrera T in mind, with its Not-as-fast-as-a-PDK-but-much-more-engaging manual gearbox, what would this Audi R8 GT have been like with 3 pedals and a stick?

Neither did RB, up untill an ambiguous rule got clarified, which changed the cost calculation of certain items after the fact. It was a load of produced spare parts that suddenly contributed much more to the spending cap than initially calculated by Red Bull. Plus a tax deduction they could have applied, but didn’t.

Sheesh! Again: TWO teams were in breach of the budget cap rules.

Aston Martin didn’t get fined for breaching the cost cap rules then? Oh, okay!

Ok, uhm, no, that I’ll pass on.

No, what I was trying to say is that at least a part of new developments plug into existing services, untill capacity is fully used.

True, but taken on average, part of new on-land buildings will just hook up to existing infra, so as a whole it’ll be cheaper (and the facilities can be larger and thus be more efficient) even though not all new buildings can just connect to existing systems.
