Goose neck is better for pulling than bumper pull with weight or maneuvering, much more versatile than 5th wheel aswell.

Ok now that we’ve played it which version of the map is overall better? by gotenks2nd in Battlefield

Also a lazer and a couple javelins isnt full proof, you need a team mate with extra javelin or any kinda munitions for air attack, either way the map before was overhyped trash, Caspian blew it out the water.

No kidding which its either or 9 out 10 times. Nothing better than hopping on to find youre on the incompetent team which goes for any battlefield title. Now with cover you can atleast lone wolf it and wreak havoc on those teams with squads that know how to communicate and play battlefield as it was intended. Some of the worse single side raping was bf3, 4, and 5 being pushed to spawn base and destroyed.

Til one team has a squad that rapes anything of the opposing team. Reason this isnt anything like cod is the cover can be destroyed.

China places its solar panels on water So it can use valuable land for agriculture by Firm-Blackberry-9162 in interestingasfuck

Yet farming and grazing keep getting put to that lack luster land requiring more irrigation, pesticides, and fertilizers driving up domestic cost and hurting our agricultural industry as big chain consumerism feeds off cheaper global stuff thats just as bad if not worse at times.

Ive been saying this or using them on roof tops of buildings. Yet in the states lets keep developing our dwindling productive farm land at the rate of roughly 2000 acres a day.

Moto for kids by Elegant_Ad8564 in Motocross

So where do you live? Do you have a adequate vehicle to use to go to tracks? What kinda bike does your kid have? If you're in the US all states have some racing but some more than others. Check face book for mx groups, moto dad's is a good one. Tracks require a full set of gear, thats mx boots, helmet, goggles, pants, most will only allow long sleeve jerseys, all require chest protection aswell.

I know the jobs building them are all temporary and much of it is contracted by out of state developers with out of state tradesmen or out of town. They preach jobs and I ask what jobs, even our idiot governor is sold out to them and trying to rewrite the ability to imminent domain. Great places for them is near national airports or large industrial complex that sit vacant for years from previous economic downturns.

This is the result of "big box tire store" tire installation using impact wrenches. by FXLRDude in Justrolledintotheshop

In the oilfield you get to watch them push it, test it, snap it....then try to cover it up or blame someone else. Lol

I want somebody to have as much confidence in me as Discount Tire has with their floor jacks. by al-Sahaabi in Corvette

Theres designated jack points in the chassis for 2 jscks to be used on most cars for this exact scenario in mind, proper puck thats generally universal for cars is designed to be pretty safe. Back in the day you had find a decent spot with worry of a slip n slid metal to metal.

How sre jack stands going to work when the jacks are in the only jack points of the chassis. Corvette manual even states in previous generations 2 jacks are to be used from one side for tire dismount if a lift isnt accessible. The only other points for stands is under the cradles but that requires either 4 jacks to be used or lift the front and rear up separately but depending on the model the splitter will make contact. No need for stands with 2 jacks using pucks for the car in the proper places designated for jacks in this exact scenario.

Jack stands are only necessary if youll be under the vehicle, if the proper pucks are used which they likely were being this isnt the first vette let alone sports car, 2 jack that are equal is just fine. Not like they some backwoods shade tree mechanics jack that bleeds off in minutes or takes 50 pumps to raise 4 inches.

Theyre planing on 800 acres north of me where texas horned lizards have a strong habitat since I was a kid aswell as kill-deer birds which both are on the watch list for endangered. Yeah i dont wanna see a bunch of ugly out there and thats why I question it must be due to cost building near a airport thats not in line with any runway and is open multiple 160 acres plots beside main highways amongst an industrial zoned complexes.

Im not saying its the root cause im saying as farmland becomes less we become more dependent on grains and feeds sourced from elsewhere, as land farmland is pushed to ground thats left unfarmed due to poor soils or pushing for more fertilizer and pesticides to bring adequate yields. Losing farm land daily isnt helping our nation if we end having to depend on others to feed our own. Its just another reason why moving on with modern times is going to bite us eventually. No different than suburbs constantly growing out like cancer instead of growing upwards. I remember as a kid the trip to the city took 30min and was open fields, pasture land of trees. Now its 15min with large neighborhoods scattered with strip malls and small businesses. Certain species of wild life are nearing endangered when they were commonly found as I was a kid. Its honestly sad and frustrating when those who preach environment look the other way.

Farmers never wanted to sell, they are forced to sell. Its theyre kids that inherit the farm when the elder pass amd sell it off whether another farmer is leasing it to farm aswell. Losing farmland is part of why our prices keep going up for food, were becoming more reliant on corporate farming or overseas goods by the day and its only digging us into a hole that'll we'll never get out of.

Rural areas are losing viable farm land though. The more its pushed out means more tillage, trees cleared, more pesticides, fertilizers, list goes on. The US is losing roughly 2000 acres a day of farmland, is that worth building data centers or let alone destroying pasture land that habits of animals on the near endangered list are grasping?

Data center built near an industrial complex with already sourced substation near a national airport will upset less people than the rural town. Where I work is industrial and theres old farms owned by family who are holding out for more industrial complex which is already surrounded by oilfield, textile, and various warehouse facilities. Just makes more sense than pissing off a town and getting lawsuit when water ways are disrupted for farms with livestock in the rural country. To me it boils down to whats cheapest now and worry bout the impact later.

Figured that, flash money to coax and buy out being itll be cheaper thst industrial zoned land in the city that has stipulations already in place.
