This has to be one of the weakest low effort articles I have ever seen on lifehacker. Essentially copying the product information with a 1 paragraph intro .. wow. #fail.

As a resident of Rotterdam myself, I’d like to offer you a fresh perspective: Removing / hoisting out the movable girder section and hanging it back on its cables, to let a really tall boat past has been done in the past on several occasions. The cost of such an operation, everything included, is said to be below €100k…

Thank God I don’t have to run a car charger to my portable CD player, connected to my tape adapter that needs wiggled the right way into the car’s tape deck. The portable CD player needed to sit level on the center console, and even with shock protection would from time to time skip over speed bumps and other bumps…

An important bit of information we need to know is whether the oil light was a service reminder, or status indicator. If the light was a “service soon” it’s one thing, but if it was indicating low pressure or levels...thats another.

Now, that was a great article. Amazing to think people did travel 500 miles in those things.

Trackside is a tough job, it’s a young man’s game. There is DEFINITELY an attitude that it’s a privilege to have that job and that you should be willing to work very long hours for less money than traditional jobs as a result. To be fair, they’re up front about it and you do know what you’re getting into.

I suspect us boot people look at them differently than sneaker people.

I had my shot glass ready for the first Pee Wee reference. Thanks for not making me wait!

I’m pretty sure that would be the end of human civilization.

The question isn’t why they used a meter meant for a house, but why they used a meter at all? Where in the system was the meter located? Was it between the charger and battery or between the battery and motor? What was anyone supposed to do with that information?

I’m loving that meter. It makes me think there are some modern electric cars that should be fitted with a residential smoke alarm.

Portable biofuel generator? Is this a euphemism for lighting their farts? 

I don’t know why we call over engineered, overly complicated things a marvel of engineering. KISS

I was just going to say that. Though, in all fairness, the use of ‘shall’ does often make event he most mundane of regulations sound somewhat biblical. All some regulations need is a bit more ‘begotten’ when referring to prior regulations and ‘begat’ when referring to replacements.

I used to do this when I was younger, only I used cheap lunch meat (specifically Buddig brand) and dipped the resulting chips in mustard for a tasty after-school snack.
