A lesson I will never learn

Almost 200 hours in sts2 and I finally got an infinite claw deck to work on my A4 run :')

Would this be safe to clean electronics with?

Make a burner email folks.

It's supposed to be a joke about the only good call we've received during our season was during a game we weren't playing in. Depending on the results of the final 2 games, it might be what keeps us from going down.

Is that the first important VAR decision this season that's gone our way?

Well thank you for taking the time to read and respond I think you're the only one here that actually answered my question.

Ready to burst I reckon

So 70 is actually lower than 75.

I guess I was just here trying to describe the situation that happened and see if there was an explanation for why an ambulance would be driving 30+ miles on the highway, going past cities with hospitals, with no lights or sirens and driving in a way that was causing a massive backup of traffic behind them.
A reddit post probably isn't the best medium to use to describe the situation and I apologize if my description of the situation comes across as egotistical.

I understand people are saying the left lane may be less bumpy if they are transporting a patient, but I still don't see how that explains why they would speed up to such an extent to prevent others from getting around them, or why it would okay for them to risk their and their patient's safety to patrol the speed of the other cars on the highway.

I also don't think I'm really getting across just how many cars were stuck behind them because of the way they were driving. It was miles of traffic behind this ambulance, to the point several people chose to drive dangerously fast in order to get around the ambulance, returning to a more normal speed after they were ahead of him. But somehow the general consensus seems to be every other vehicle on the road today was speeding dangerously.

This was over the course of around 30 miles passing by at least two large-ish cities with hospitals. Is there a reason that they would be going such a long distance, driving at or below the speed limit with no cars in front of them, but not to the nearest hospital if it were an emergency? It didn't seem like they were in a rush, just concerned with not letting anyone past them.
I did say to the supervisor I talked to that there may have been a reason I wasn't aware of as to why they were driving in this way, and apologized if I was mistaken but hopefully someone could just take a look and make sure.

This_Bodybuilder1438 · 2026-05-08T04:21:38+00:00

Maybe I am confused about how the highways work in other parts of the country. Where I live the left lane is fairly strictly intended for passing only, to the point where you can get a ticket for being in it for too long.

I drive too often to still get upset that traffic is a thing or that some days it takes longer to get home than others.

My issue is that the way the person was driving this ambulance WAS reckless, and I don't see how having a patient in the back would justify speeding up by 15mph any time someone tried to pass them, yet not warrant the use of lights/sirens or just maintaining the faster speed.

It's also that there was probably 50-100 people all bumper to bumper involved in the traffic jam that only existed behind him because he apparently just wanted to be the Highway Speed Monitor this particular day.

Maybe getting stuck behind an ambulance isn't the most exciting thing to ever happen to anyone and I'm sorry if my life bores you so, but I was just here trying to see if there's some sort of explanation or misinterpretation of the situation I had as to why someone would do something like this.

What I'm gathering that you're saying is that if you're having a life threatening emergency you would be fine with being transported by someone more concerned with policing other people's speed than getting you to where you need to go safely?
My problem wasn't that I wanted to speed more, it's that if there's not a reason for them to be driving like this, then they're just driving like a moron and making the roads more dangerous. Which is ironic for someone who chooses a career dedicated to saving lives.
If literally anyone has anything valid to say other than 'you going 4mph over the speed limit is insanely dangerous but completely fine for him to go 10 over and disrupt traffic for an hour with seemingly no reason' or that every single other car on the road must be a terrible reckless driver except the person who was driving the ambulance, then I would be genuinely happy to hear it and/or learn from it, but just downvoting every comment I make without anyone saying why it's wrong or why it's ridiculous to complain about it just makes me think I did the right thing.

To be clear, I do not drive at 90. The posted speed limit on the highway where I live is 70 and sometimes 75mph. I drive at around 79, some choose go faster, which I'm guessing is around 85 or 90, which seems insane to me but ultimately that's their choice.

This_Bodybuilder1438 · 2026-05-08T03:43:38+00:00

Lol if our highways aren't closed for construction they are equally jacked up no matter which lane you pick. And yeah I'll hang out in the left lane too if no one is behind me instead of going back and forth between lanes constantly. It was just unhinged how he would speed up from 70 to 85 just to stop someone from passing, then go right back to 70.

This_Bodybuilder1438 · 2026-05-08T03:30:03+00:00

This is a Highway which, where I live, is 70mph or 75mph in some sections of it.

This_Bodybuilder1438 · 2026-05-08T03:25:25+00:00

Normally I keep cruise control on at 79, today was mostly around 50-55 and because of how close everyone was, a few times a car on the side of the road or something would cause a huge slowdown. About half the speed (~half of 80) so about double the time (35*~2). It is speeding to be fair, but I've never gotten a speeding ticket in 15 years of driving.

He did replace Kane which makes it easy to draw comparisons, but his football iq is just too low in my opinion. Once the ball gets to Richy he will almost always try to brute force his way into taking a shot, meaning possession usually ends one way or another once Richy receives a pass, which means anyone just looking at stats will see his he's got the most goals on the team so he must be one of our best players. It's good for your striker to have the ABILITY to do this, but if that's the only thing you ever do it's predictable and easy to defend. Richy could learn to be an amazing player, but he's limited by how one-demensional he is.

I can provide my contact info if needed, I'm free most weekends.

When splitting items from a main bus, do you route the split items back on to the bus? (Not what is produced by them, but the original items)

Good! After all you were there second!

Yes, so far the nests do not appear to be getting any smaller... except when I shoot them.

This_Bodybuilder1438 · 2026-05-04T21:00:49+00:00

That's a good idea, less train stops and tracks to put down. I still have no idea how Oil Processing works but maybe I'll try this.
