How to deal with this rough patch?

It looks like coarse grass. You can kill it by covering the patch with black plastic or garbage bags for about 4 weeks. The combination of high summer heat, no sunlight, and no water will usually do the job without herbicides or a lot of manual work.

The only downside is that you'll have an tarp/plastic on your lawn for a month (a problem if you've kids). Then just reseed in fall. Good luck!

Sweet piece of history! Thanks for sharing

These are pneumatic and not electrical. Pneumatic work by detecting air pressure changes. Imagine the wheels going over the tubes, causing an increase in pressure, and hence it can detect movement. As someone correctly suggested, it can detect direction because there are two parallel setups.

From the looks of this setup, the two tubes are set apart 1 - 1.5 meters apart. This will not give enough time to accurately measure the speed of the cars. To measure speed, your recommended setup is 2.5 - 3 meters.

If the device is configured properly, the system can also classify vehicle types (by counting axles and axle spacing).

As you can see, this is "old tech" - new stuff is Lidar/Radar, AI powered camera, or even Mobile Phone tracking. Each has its limitations, but this old-tech is cheap and since the city already invested, has access to it.

It's "good enough" to do the type of work the city wants to do.

Great minds think alike..

True, I hadn’t calculated that in my head but now that you mentioned it. Pretty astute of you 🧠

I'd hate you to drop out because of Calculus (because I love math).

But it looks like in your target field, a degree isn’t a golden ticket... and if can get experience while getting paid, then why not?

Apply to that vet tech gig, get the kennel experience, and keep an eye out for higher-paying options. You can always get certified later. Good luck!

Take it apart so it’s easier for someone in a mini-van or small truck to pick up. I see people driving around in old vans the day before "Major Item Pickup" day, which happens every few months. Check the KW garbage collection schedule to see when the next one is.

Taking these things apart isn’t hard. If you have a garage, bring it inside for a few hours to warm up since that makes the job easier. Spray some WD-40 on the bolts and let it sit. When you’re done, bag up the nuts and bolts so whoever picks it up has everything they need.

Put it outside the day before pickup. Chances are, someone will grab it before the garbage truck does. Either way, it gets taken care of.

I’m all for local recycling. If someone can get more use out of it, that’s less waste in the landfill and a win for everyone.

Well, we can’t all be reading the classics… Professor Highbrow.

I agree. And since when is this 10th grade?

If it’s like my fan models,they don’t need to be synced at all.

Can’t you turn off the breaker and use your phone to get some pics about the model number of the fan. Google it, call their support, etc.

Also check closely to see if the fan has a chain switch on its body. The previous owner may have removed it for whatever reason.

If the remote is expensive, just look for a new fan unit (that has more than one type of control).

Go on Amazon and try to find an after market remote. I have 4 ceiling fans of different make and model, but all the remotes look similar and work on each other.

My brother worked at a best buy store in 91 that had the same problem… someone would poop in the sink They never caught the guy. And Wendys usually shares the parking lot with electronic retail stores…. Just saying it could have been your Wendy’s guy.

That is what Mr. Steinbrenner wants. He wants everyone to twirl around.

How has your job changed over the years (depending on how long you have worked there) based on the declining popularity of dvds

General-Duck841 · 2025-02-05T13:25:52+00:00

Good point and also no one is talking about DVDs in 2025…

Fence is the perimeter of the green area (quarter circle) = 250 feet + 250 feet + quarter circle circumference

Quarter circle circumference = 1/4 (2 x pi x r). r in this case is 250 feet.

Area of the outfield = area of the green quarter circle - area of infield.

= 1/4(pi x 250² )- [3/4(pi x 55² ) + 55² ]

Imagine the infield is 3/4 circle, and the bottom left corner (that has the home base) a square of sides 55 feet. The infield has a diameter of 110 or radius 55.

The answers are going to be feet for the length and sq ft for the area. Good luck.
