I'd love to buy some of ye old :wap: rose colored glasses. Maybe he could retire if he sold them? I live and breath this industry every day. I love design and big construction efforts. I am frustrated daily by the things we fail to accomplish. The workers progress efforts out of the depression was a...

I have a low level phobia of bridges ( :ludacris: , I know) and I totally get your retroactive terror. :lolol: I mean, it never prevents me from crossing them, I just don't like it. lol It's not uncommon to be stuck on the Mississippi river bridge here in BR. You'll just be shaking up and down the ...

Interesting commentary on the bridge here. Pretty wild stuff, did they find anyone that was lost in the water? Is it actually true that the US hasn’t built any major bridges in decades or is that just :fax: stuff? " :fax: " This beauty was built in 2010: https://www.tylin.com/sites/defaul...

:dat: :iswydt: fun fact. We DID design buildings to withstand plane impacts. But, dank memes melt steel beams. :tinfoil: Indeed they were. I'll send the said engineer an article stating as such, Proving engineers wrong is so enjoyable. Even if it's an offhand comment such as the one given. The tita...

Spoke to one of the civil engineers I work with in regards to designing a bridge to handle such an impact. "Are we supposed to design buildings to withstand plane impacts too?" :dat: :iswydt: fun fact. We DID design buildings to withstand plane impacts. But, dank memes melt steel beams. :...

welp, buying the cheapest clean title m4 in 500 miles of swamplandia got me. I missed a pinched/leaking hydraulic line on the rear driver side. The top worked once, and stalled on me, once home. I found hydraulic fluid sprayed all around driver side. Pulled carpet for a hasty diag and bought a ebay ...

Yeah im gonna try that, it's basically a dad version of the car that I came from aka mk7 gti

The fast back looks dope but the trunk/hatch space is much less useable functionally.

bob's oil guy forms like it, suspect its just repackaged Rotella T. Im sure it will be fine at 5k intervals and 7 liters capacity. Yeah the Kirkland oil suspiciously got really good reviews from multiple “sources”. It’ll be fine for sure. But given the price point I’m a bit :suspicious: that it’s a...

Yeah the Kirkland oil suspiciously got really good reviews from multiple “sources”. It’ll be fine for sure. But given the price point I’m a bit :suspicious: that it’s as good as some others If it's outsourced like their 17 year old sherry cask scotch, everything is going to be muy bueno. :mahtroy: ...

Im going to put kirkland non LL-01 oil in the BMW.

SuperTech next baby!

same thing yo. Its good nuff.

yea, all indications are that this was just an accident. Unless the investigation finds evidence of hacking, sabotage, or criminal level deferring of known critical maintenance issues it will probably remain so. Biden says the feds gonna rebuild bridge. Can I place a bet somewhere that it takes mor...

No one will ever apologize Brad. Crow is not very palletable.

:notbad: in the short term. Hopefully the .gov at least dishes out those regular COL increases going forward. Seems like my merit increase was higher than most at the company so that is kinda nice. Yeah the last two years had decent COLA at least. Not keeping up with inflation, but if I can stack s...

:dat: and I'm holding an uncomfortable amount of their stock, avg $19/ps I was an idiot and bought at 32 when they dropped 50% from their IPO. I think evs are about to go through a major reckoning as most places in US made it very price prohibitive to own own one. There is no cost advantage over a ...

I just read they halted construction of a factory in Georgia or somewhere down south.

Yes because they expected to sell a lot more 90k ev pickups and 100k suvs. Which is that’s not a mainstream price point

BTW what black paint is that? Is it BSM? Black Sapphire Metallic ? Or plain back. I am not a huge fan of BSM because both of my bmws that had that paint (2016m3 and 2024, IX) exhibited pretty weak paint characteristics. I.E it was impossible to get hard water spots out even with polishing... and bi...
