Is a cantilever bridge the big span is over 500 feet, trestles are shorter spans way more support legs.

Yeah they don’t need drug dogs in airports. If they don’t like the look of you they can just search your bags without the made up cause of a drug dog “trigger”.

Logan (Boston) too. I watched an abandoned shopping bag get sniffed down before they took it away.

It’s amazing the difference between how bomb dogs move and sniff compared to drug dogs (which are 99% bullshit being triggered by handlers I suspect).

I was about to agree, but they fucking disabled reader mode! No dark mode is no bueno for me.

The situation in Gaza is pretty dire, and radicalizing in itself, however, the recent progress toward a cease fire seems to be ignored by far too many “protesters”, especially online.

Cool, TIL, just curious about what happens to the posts you’ve made, if you delete your old account?

Are our accounts portable yet? Until they are most people (especially contributors used to the fake internet points system) are going to stick with their first account with fake internet points.

Sawdust is pretty explosive once ignited, and they usually have big blowers forcing air through the place.

They’re basically designed like blast furnaces if ignition occurs.

I live near a little air strip too.

I’d rather have Jet-A particles than the 100LL Avegas exhaust coming down around my house.

The worst part is that our town elementary school is under the turn to land for the most common prevailing wind. The kids love seeing planes nice and low, and I do still too, but I can’t help wondering what the school playground’s lead levels are like.

You can get a deal on taxes and healthcare if you live in the US, it’s literally why my wife and I married.

We’re still happy like before and It’s been 19 years.

Used to see that as a kid there (like 40 years ago), I’m glad they still have ‘em!

Diesel/kerosene doesn’t evaporate like gasoline though, lots of mechanics use it to soak Rusty stuff and get parts unseized.

Modern has also attacks rubber with its high ethanol content, but its a slower process.

Gasoline works great for cleaning, but you have to immediately coat it in something or you get flash rust again. Diesel is slower, but less volatile, and better near rubber and plastics.

Btw, I restore old cars and have used both to clean things, though the cancerous benzine fumes from gasoline aren’t worth it compared to other solvents for me. Denatured alcohol<mineral spirits<naphtha<acetone is my order of escalation when a mess is stubborn.

Diesel fuel would probably work ok, gasoline will evaporate and make it rust quicker.

The way Elon’s politics have gone it wouldn’t surprise me if he started promoting fossil fuel use.

They’re probably spending intervening 10 months cleaning all the embarrassing comments out of the code before the initial commit.

Are we taming, maiming or killing though?

I fine with all three if it’s a dumb truck.

2 weeks with an angle grinder ought to do it.

Yeah it’s meant to have uglier wheels that fit with those ugly tires, possibly only with the ugly tires.

I think it’s as close low polygon wheels they could get before they become hexagonal.

This about sums up my experience in Indiana as well.

That and the cooling tower looming over the waterfront in Gary.
