OK, Boomers.
This - rained steadily last evening here from about 8:30pm to midnight... everything be wet. Again.
Ok so I am the dumb fuck who needed four tries today. But, it took about 20 seconds.
this is about 2 blocks down on the same street that I have to cross with my son as we walk/bike to school. That road where the dumptruck in the picture is parked, is supposed to be a "complete street" with bike lanes and traffic calming measures. in fact, the truck is parked on the fucking bike lane. a friend of mine, and neighbour teaches at that school, and often bikes. I hope to Dawg its not her.
there is so much construction going on all around us at the moment. most drivers are confused or frustrated, and the amount of ass-hattery is astounding. but the drivers of those trucks need to be more aware of all other vulnerable road users. it makes me sick to my stomach.

That site is in Southern Idaho, east of Craters of the Moon. It was a testing facility with the highest concentration of reactors on earth! Where the Idaho facility did testing, Hanford was a weapons manufacturing facility.

Call me old fashioned but I prefer just regular masturbation.
That's no good.
Dump truck drivers are something special, eh.
They are pretty much like the whole lifted truck Ram Bro culture, but only in giant trucks. They tail gate, speed around, zig zag through traffic, often fling rocks around etc etc

The president of our company saw me putting into my coffee cup, so he gifted me his old office setup.
It's been in a box for a couple decades.

There are outliers in the General Aviation world, but almost no aircraft has metric hardware.
last i checked rideit wasn't part of the general aviation worldThere are outliers in the General Aviation world, but almost no aircraft has metric hardware.
yeah. and there's at least 6 major construction sites in the area:
1. a new central library being built
2. bridge replacement on 417 (main 8 lane highway going through town)
3. two light rail stations being built
4. storm sewer mains being replaced downtown
5. condo tower being built
6. bridge reconstruction, and a whole new neighbourhood being built.
all those construction sites add up to (literally) tons and tons of massive trucks driving through the area. they're all impacting each other and slowing each other down. it's all happening in the downtown core, where a large portion of the population gets around on foot or by bike. they really need to put in place measures to protect that vulnerable population... sadly its not the first time a bike has been run over by a dump truck downtown...
Where were they?
In his way, I would imagine.
I'm guessing the city didn't have the foresight to implement some sort of strict construction traffic route through the area. You'd still have the trucks, but at least you'd know what streets to not go on..
Almost? What ones do? I mean why the mix?There are outliers in the General Aviation world, but almost no aircraft has metric hardware.

The saying can’t get a g.e.d. Get a CDL holds a little too true. 95% of dump truck drivers are doing good to get their shoes on the right feet. That being said I don’t know (the 5%) a few owner operators that are pretty decent folks and actually ride bikes too.
They're friggin' wreckless around here a lot of the time. And if you see a truck that's missing one of its rear mud flaps, jesssuuusss, just take another road, it'll be safer.

I appreciate the dumptrucks that have the "not responsible for road debris" signs on the back.
Well then, who is responsible for the constant stream of gravel pouring out of your overfilled truck with the cover not used?
I had a meeting last week with an “aerospace” company in which I actually had to ask them to warn me when they switched units during our conversation. “Well, this in tenths, but we do this in microns, this in inches again and we measure this in mm…” I may be exaggerating a little, but they were definitely mixing and matching their units…There are outliers in the General Aviation world, but almost no aircraft has metric hardware.
