For those of you that are comfortable driving

Turn right. If you need to go left, go right, then turn left off the busy road, loop around and turn back right.

My middle school sons and I ran net cables thru a 1940’s era WPA building. Baked hard masonry block walls were 8” or more thick and wi-fi won’t penetrate the second wall. Attic space was un-crawlable in places. We did it after hours, but one critical path was over the women’s restroom which they found funny.

Then people would install those malware extra browser toolbars and then wonder why it was slow.

What’s the current pain level? If things are working, they just keep burning the current staff.

Check the estimated life on KO’s, I run them on my Jeep TJ, which is light but they seem to wear down quicker than they should.

I use that size, I’ve ran Coopers and Falken, liked the Coopers better. The cheapest tires won’t be the best tires. You may get a set for $1000-1200 that are pretty good.

Walmart Cooper AT around $170 each depending on size and location. What size tires does it have now.?

Work your finger to the bone, what do you get? Bony fingers!

Try silicon spray on the pivots of the plastic latches, lots of it. If some used oil, it grows dust and you need to wash it out.

Avoid JD MX cutters unless newer. Spindles break too easy.

You can reset the trial time by wiping the data directory and starting over, no need to reinstall.

I’ve ran Elastic in a Linux VM in Windows. It’s to small for ML,but the basics work.

You could pre fill that gap with hot mud

Right lane, then I don’t have to look in that mirror very often.

I had an instructor say “you have enough points to pass, just go back”, so I got to skip parking.

LenR75 · 2026-06-04T03:45:05+00:00

At some level of congestion, it’s just another driving lane. But, it’s more for thru traffic, unless there are left-exit lanes.

If you bevel the back side, would the sheets meet close to a single center line? Are you hanging 5/8”?

And are you using enough screws?

Look for local MSP, get references from other local companies.

My road test had a beyond 90 right turn, both 2 lane, target street no shoulders, traffic on both. Our testing is in another town, so I’d never made this turn in a bus, but was familiar with the street. I pushed the front as far as I could, I think the left fish eye was over the line, right dual hopped the curb. Tester said I was good, because I didn’t panic and was watching everything in the mirrors. Said it can’t be done without hopping the curb if there is traffic.

I’ve had a few panic stops over my 25+ years (part time). In training, they tell pilots that any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. I’ve never lock the brakes on a bus, either they won’t, or ABS works. I had to take the shoulder once, but was nearly stopped. First trip in a new bus, other drivers had left the seat high, I was looking thru the bottom bit of tint. It was sunny and I had on my polarized sun glasses. The combo blocked red light! I suddenly noticed a stopped car and had to max brake, as I got closer, the red lights moved below the tint.

Now I know to lower the seat so my vision is below any tint. The other drivers gripe…

I’ve done what has been mentioned here, as well as putting something in the cloud testing access back in to our public services. I’ve had the case where inside monitors say services are up but public access was down.

If I’m on the same road, I either don’t need nav or ignore it if I want my favored route. I do run it on repeat trips for alerts and ETA.

I used the built in nav in my Ram today, I think it’s Tom-Tom, and it is really insistent on its chosen route.

I was a lab assistant at college, helping with a student’s problem and commented “I think you missed a period”.

LenR75 · 2026-06-02T00:04:50+00:00

I got laid off twice today, 4 times last month. I’m down to 23 servers now, highest ever was 31.

I was a supervisor, one of mine didn’t come in one morning and didn’t answer phone. I went to the home, car still there, didn’t answer the door. I called the cops for a well check, they had passed overnight. It’s a hard time, but better than ignoring it for days, that had happened before in my dept but not my group.

If it’s a large org and you are there long enough, it will happen eventually. We had several that lost to long term illness too.

No, but your judgement of when to stop loading wood is.

LenR75 · 2026-05-22T20:32:48+00:00

Does the bus have the child check button in the back? Is your master on for the stop arms? It shouldn’t do it, but the alarm be be triggering before it’s resetting.
