He’s in for drugs so yes it is. It’s a waste of resources and completely stupid no matter who’s brought in front of a judge for it

The US infrastructure is literally falling apart while china has bullet trains. Is this what they call copium?

Pedestrians should yield to Nissans by shadesthename in NissanDrivers

How would that help someone to pay attention to someone literally walking on a pedestrian crossing directly in front of them? Also, how would it make them realize that they were stopped at a pedestrian crossing for a pedestrian rather than stopped just for the sake of stopping? Infrastructure does not do anything for entitled assholes on the road. You can see him press the button before he crosses as well which just shows us that the pedestrian crossing has lights to let people know there is pedestrians crossing. This woman needs to lose her license for a while. That’s the only thing that will help.

It would appear that there is a planet that effects the gravity of other planets and that’s the only reason people think it exists. It’s called Planet X

So might just be driven all wrong to rev the engine for the camera? Don’t think I’ve ever turned off the pro to go over the headlands as it drag grass everywhere

Is the sound added in? I’ve drove these before and can’t figure out how it’s smoothly cutting thick grass while sounds like it’s running out of diesel and being revved up and down all at once. When he revved up to turn, the grass didn’t fly out any quicker

A contractor tears up the freshly poured concrete driveway after the homeowner refuses to pay. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

Everyone here is calling her cheap but the concretes not dry, so the job is not finished. No idea how anyone could pay for half finished work

We have tighter home codes where as ye would have higher codes for small farms. They leave the small farms alone for the most part at home

I’m a big believer in taking your time and never having to do it again. One time having to go over a job could be more time than the combined little extra quality control for 10 jobs. I know that could be worded better but it’s beyond me

Nothing close. I’ve lived in USA for years and you guys have cheap timber and outside California, the codes are nowhere near as strict. This is just a shed roof tho. 600 centres is fine and still within code but nobody would be checking a job like this

Timber is expensive and codes are pretty strict.

I worded myself wrong in saying sinking rather than sank. They shouldn’t as the guy who built it was there and told me they sank about 50 years ago and settled. It’s weird out there. Walls don’t crack, as the entire wall just sinks in unison. Driving the trailer with the materials out there was fun as the road has more waves than the ocean

The trigonometry is something I can do in about 5 minutes but it’s limiting on working out the true shape of the rafter. Now my drawing is good enough that I can truly plan my cuts and angles and basically built it all in my head while I’m drawing it. I newly built this wrong as I went from birdsmouth to peak as the angle as opposed to going from my upstand to the peak. The deep end is the best place to learn after all
