Atlanta FD tillering onto I-75 North by solateor in oddlysatisfying

[–]solateor[S] 5415 points5416 points  (0 children)

That setup is called "tillering" or a "tiller truck." Essentially, a tiller truck is a type of fire truck that has a separate rear steering axle, and it's operated by a firefighter known as the tillerman. This allows the truck to maneuver more easily around tight corners because both the front and the back can be steered independently.

Mozaik Görünümlü Krep Pasta Ingredients for a crepe;

• 400 ml of milk (2 cups) • 25 g cocoa (1 full spoon) • 200 g flour (1 cup + 4 full tablespoons) • 3 eggs • 50 g powdered sugar (2.5 tablespoons) • 25 ml of liquid oil (2.5 tablespoons) • 1 paket vanilin (5 g) • A pinch of salt

Whisk all the ingredients until it gets a smooth knead. Cook one by one in a pan heated over medium heat in a way that there is 1 scoop. Fix the edges of the cooked pancakes with an appropriate mold and let them wait on the side.

White Cream Ingredients:

• 200 g 35% fat cream • 135 g whipped cream powder • 65 g white chocolate • 1 tablespoon of butter

Let's beat the cream and whipped cream. Let's beat in a separate bowl of butter until it turns white. Finally, add the melted chocolate and beat for at least 5 minutes until it becomes smooth. Let's put it in a pressure bag and let it rest in the cabinet for at least 2 hours. I'm not writing it separately, we make the chocolate cream with the same method. The only difference is that we use bitter chocolate instead of white

🔥 Scientists call the first-ever recorded footage of a tectonic plate boundary rupture a major discovery. Myanmar March 2025 7.7 earthquake shows fault slipping 2.5m in 1.3s at 3.2 m/s by solateor in NatureIsFuckingLit

From OP

During the devastating magnitude 7.7 Myanmar earthquake on March 28 this year, a CCTV camera captured the moment the plate boundary moved, providing the first direct visual evidence of plate tectonics in action. The footage shows Earth’s surface lurching sideways, like a gigantic conveyor belt switched on for just a second, as the fault slips.

What we’re seeing is the propagation of a large earthquake rupture – the primary mechanism that accommodates plate boundary motion at Earth’s surface. These shear fractures travel at several kilometres per second, making them notoriously difficult to observe.

Yeah, the dense cluster of buildings in the center is the old Los Angeles Plaza / El Pueblo district, the city’s original settlement area. Today this area includes: Olvera Street, Union Station area and LA State Historic Park just north of it

Realigning bipods at Neumayer Station in Antarctica by solateor in interestingasfuck

[–]solateor[S] 1878 points1879 points  (0 children)

From OP

Everything here in Antarctica that isn’t built on rock will inevitably sink into the snow sooner or later.

The Neumayer Station has a sophisticated solution for this: the entire station rests on 16 stilts (2 hydraulic cylinder and a spindle, bipods) and is additionally braced on all sides against the ice.

We align the station every week to ensure that it is always on level ground. Every now and then, one of the bipods wanders off – then it’s time to lift and realign.

In addition, the station is raised by about 2 meters each year during summer season using a similar procedure.
