This dumbass is too stupid to see that I’m not American and I’m bashing the people lmfao. What an idiot.

Yeah no Americans would rather blame vehicles than take ownership for their own actions.

Yeah and oddly enough this isn’t a problem where jaywalking is legal like the EU, so what point do you think that’s making here….?

Yeah the amount of people who think the problem exists outside the US is astonishing.

Flashing red lights in urban areas is dangerous since people don’t follow the rules and it provides a false sense of security to the kids.

They’re literally lining the kids up and know people don’t follow the rules, it’s silly they haven’t thought to adjust the laws yet. Places in Canada did, decades ago.

Is that an issue? You can’t see the side of the road? Or a kid that’s already started crossing since you are well away…?

I’ve never heard of this issue before, got a source? Or are you just not paying attention to the road while driving…?

Mind you, we also have well established crosswalks that are lit up, and teach people to use them, so that’s probably why it’s not an issue here…? It seems like a uniquely US issue.

It’s funny, kids aren’t getting run down in school zones in other places, we don’t let them run indiscriminately across the road. They’re taught to walk to a a crosswalk to cross the road.

In fact, lots of places ban school buses using flashing red lights inside urban areas since it’s more dangerous, it’s only allowed on rural roads.

And I can’t legally drive my kids around in one of those, so yeah it’s like they are different trucks for different purposes or something…. I don’t know…. Maybe…?

And this perspective is entirely what’s wrong with civilization……

Spirit vs intention of law, they wouldn’t be ticketing people who do it for work, it would be for people like OP who have nothing better than be a “menace”.

I’ve thought about getting a few dozen people and just going in a loop around a couple of blocks screwing over the traffic circle. So yeah the laws probably because someone actually decided to do it.

I think the resistance of the coils are finicky too, I’ve fixed some carts by putting it on a battery with adjustable voltage and turning it to max. Makes it work with the other batteries again. So try a newer fresher battery, older batteries loose voltage over time and may not be able to trigger the coils with current charge.

Could likely be partly to do with the wicking as well affecting the coil resistance.

Those would just get filled with water and burst during the winter for me. If anything I would just go with some readyrod/allthread across. It’s also something I can slap in emergency wise anytime, just disturbs the root zone as I jab a rod indiscriminately through it….

12’ long and I built them in 2020, I expect them to bulge this time though, they are taller and less well built for their size.

Picture below you can see the two cross supports and I had a 2x4 on the top as well. When I added the height this year I just added more cross pieces like that. I expect it to fail and I’ll hopefully be able to dig down and concrete in some posts and make a greenhouse or something at that point. These are too large, I can’t really reach the middle of them, 4’x12’.

Emts not a bad idea, got loads at my shop. The rigid is great since you can thread it, and it supports itself decently too.

If anything I’ll just screw some boards in to hold the metal grid better. It’s just supported by some bamboo stakes as an emergency fix.

I’ve got ideas to use some pvc for my garden critter guards, so wouldn’t be much to get some lengths for a trellis for this. Still learning as I go, which is awesome.

I’m really liking that way this arches over though, I think I’ll make sure whatever I do isn’t too tall so it can continue to do this.

July 5 is the expected completion date, while they were inspecting the rest of the main they found 5 other spots that wouldn’t survive being repressurized. So while the original break is repaired and filled back in, they are still underway on the others.

It’s supposed to rain 30-40mm tomorrow, so my barrels and totes should be refilled at least.

And actual bought price, I think it used current market price. So lots of old games are going to be extremely undervalued.

Yeah 75% of my library of 1500 games is from humble bundles, so paying like 10% of regular price.

Still a neat stat though.

It’s wholly inadequate for the task at hand, but yeah haha.

I’ll be fixing it this weekend hopefully after my steroid shots this week.

I’ve heard mowing raspberries depending on the variety can be beneficial every few years.

The ones that pop up in my grass I leave until mowing unless they start getting big, then I trim it at ground level.

I cut the errant shoots every few days I’ve found em 16 feet to the right in my rose bush even.

What she looked like on the day I started flowering the photos.
