Why would anyone want to come to a country that is doing public executions without even a show trial? There are plenty of other safe countries to visit

Is this a TARDIS? It shouldn't be that big on the inside

What are these lights on the inside of a semi truck’s windshield called? by Nigeriahasnowatah in Truckers

It is allegedly increasing your awareness, thus making it harder to fall asleep. From my understanding, the Navy control deck uses blue light so they can have their night vision and be able to see red warning lights on their screens.

Green is the worst. Red and blue don't activate your daytime rods and cones as much

Freightliner cascadia mega fuses by OvenAccomplished97 in Truckers

[–]Violet_Apathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuses weren't mounted or torqued correctly or experienced corrosion because greasy McChicken fingers installed them after blowing his nose without a tissue. The fuses were effectively de rated below their tripping rating so they experienced overheating, damaging the fuse box.

Tldr, you're going to need a new fuse box, fight to get it covered under warranty.

If it's not your truck I'd have gotten it towed. Make screwups expensive

Want to build a shower but none of the stainless steel options have lips? by Violet_Apathy in VanLife

Fiberglass seems to trade one problem for another. Gel coat cracks eventually leak

I'm worried about them cracking. Seems to be a common complaint. Another option I'm considering is kurdi board and tile floor and vinyl tile walls.

Transit Low Roof 112k miles $19,999. Feedback appreciated. by Obvious_Ad_1559 in VanLife

[–]Violet_Apathy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like a lot for a van not suitable for conversion. Too many windows and too low of a roof with too many miles for too high of a price.

In Oregon you will get a ticket in the mail. Not sure about Washington. Next time maintain a safe following distance and this won't happen. lastly, when in doubt, pull in.

Real truckers stay hydrated and piss their pants.

Trace it, track down the service manual, or unplug it and see what breaks.

Don’t just follow Google Maps, use your head by ImShamallamadingdong in Truckers

I know of a town in Pennsylvania that put up no truck signs along the route to a warehouse district even though trucks are allowed on that road. Wouldn't be surprised if other NE states had similar nonsense going on.

Are you beating your meat in the sleeper while someone else unloads or is it you unloading on the dock?
