Like most things, it all comes down to $$$. Multiple pieces would require extra bracing ($), extra nuts and bolts ($), extra time for manufacturing ($), and extra time for on site storage and assembly ($$). When you have the ability to make one giant piece and get it to the site for, in reality, not much more than the…

Weird, the way those gantries are constructed I always assumed they just bolted them together onsite, erector-set style. It never occurred to me that the whole truss would have to be driven there in pre-assembled form, that’s nuts.

All station wagons should come with at least the option of woodgrain siding. Always remember: “no wood, no good.”

There were random cars running around during the chaos with missing VIN plates, no tags, with incendiary items, and various weapons

I can’t believe the people who killed that guy and tried to cover it up would just destroy property and lie about it like that..

How does cop butt taste like?

I’ll take my chances keeping our gun rights as they stand now. Not interested in British gun restrictions.

Hmm, if only there were another way to deflate tires without ruining them.

“State Patrol troopers strategically deflated tires ... in order to stop behaviors such as vehicles driving dangerously and at high speeds in and around protesters and law enforcement,” he said.

If they happen to lose my address during the network rebuild I would be thrilled to stop receiving the airbag warranty crap about my Accord I sold 8 years ago.

I spotted an Apple user!! 

There is no replacement for displacement offsite tape.

“they even wiped out all of the backups that went to virtual tape”

We always blame the old IT guy for anything that goes wrong. I mean previous or former IT guy, not the literal septuagenarian in the IT department.

I did it and you’re not getting your computers back until you make me a new S2000.

The omission of a comma in that message from IT makes it sound like Andy Redacted is taking credit for, or being blamed for, this incident. “All this is Andy Redacted,” ie all this (the situation) is Andy Redacted. Similar to how you might you look at extreme weather events and say, “All this is global climate…
