  • I just watched a YouTube about that condo collapse in Florida that happened a few years ago. People were pointing to cracks and spalling concrete for quite a while before it suddenly collapsed. 60 days before it fell an engineer came up with a plan to fix it but it fell before anything was done.

    That's scary as shit.

  • No, 'nothing' is definitely written on that stone.

  • I always think of this song every time I hear 'elbows up'.

  • Same thing happened with NAFTA. We sold so many industries down the river for French cows.

  • Don't forget tgat the government of Canada was created to protect the interests of a blanket retailer. A part of our heritage™

  • I called my mother by her name. My oldest brother started it.

  • Ever had Dutch licorice? All the salt of a thousand oceans in one little bite.

  • I bet the banding code is ASS

  • Art is about analyzing the questions, design is about analyzing the solutions. Many engineers I've met get wrapped up in the process and fail to address the actual issues.

    This guy is the textbook example. His projects always go down deadends and lose scope. He would definitely be better off with some CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) before he runs off to his CNC mill with a $200 block of aluminum.

  • In Canada we call it STEAM now. Because where the hell do you think design comes from?

  • I guess I misspoke. I meant to say that they aren't detering speeding yet.

    In my rural area they are putting 50km signs in the middle of the road on the yellow lines. Makes you feel like you're threading a needle.

  • I think the takeaway is that speed cameras won't deter speeding because it's endemic and engrained in the traffic flow. Perhaps the thoughtful pause will determine that traffic calming measures like medians and speed bumps are required. Maybe they'll install spike strips and speed sensing missiles. Probably a good idea to go to Council meetings to find out.

  • We need to give more time for peoples driving habits to adapt to the consequences.

    Absolutely. And increase signage and do the other things. Council doesn't want to look like they're praying on constituents to raise funds. The goal is to reduce speed, not increase revenue. I feel like taking a moment to assess the situation is a rational approach.
