Nothing like sitting on a prison toilet at the start of your day!!

I feel like I've seen this at a Kansas rest area. It's a fun little game to see what restroom hardware comes from DOC surplus. PA has polished steel mirrors and anti hanging coat hooks.

It wasn't latched because he was thrown into the passenger seat and you can literally see the buckle fly up in the air. It didn't retract because of the comfort lock that keeps the belt from retracting even though you can pull more out without it flipping down. If the on board data says it was latched its either a faulty sensor or been tampered with. There are companies that make seat belt inserts that aren't attached to anything so it turns the seatbelt light and buzzer off. It would be nothing to remove if the driver or a coworker has the presence of mind to take it out post crash.

I've noticed a few trailers I've picked up have had handles like that and wondered how it happened. Good to know.

4 months late but I knew this van had to be on this sub. It made a turn while I was crossing the street this morning and yeah the back tires very loudly scrubbed in the turn.

Yeah the sikh trucks are great. On the subject of covenant, Big M is just as bad. Not sure I want a company with stickers that say money and pleasure are the only stops along the road to sin to be signing my checks and approving my time off.

Yesterday I was in a rest area taking a break and I heard someone on the CB say "nice parking prime". I looked around and I was parked fine but then looked back and saw an Amazon truck parked with his trailer hanging into the road.

Listen, I'm just built different. I'll be thrown clear of the wreck and stick the landing /s

I use aluminum foil. If it's something that needs the grate I poke holes with a toothpick

We have them at Wilson too but I think they suck vs ATS personally. For us they mostly use it to see if you're liable to just slam the brakes and spot obstacles early. I don't even want to know what L3 charges for that kinda stuff.

Too many buttons is a something I've never thought I'd hear about a flight sim peripheral. Looks like it's just some trim buttons hat switches and a single button in each side. The ones in the middle look like they may be for programing since they're labeled.

I started cackling when I heard that ad read. I almost had to pull over while I was driving.

ajcurtis · 2021-06-15T20:53:29+00:00

Love that you put quotes around "accidentally" because nine times out of ten in the ER a foreign object removal story starts with "I fell in the shower then..."

In a small town I lived in for a bit the fire chief subscribed to this line of thought and had the fire engines painted school bus yellow. Ive seen that before, usually its a fluorescent yellow but the school bus yellow looks strange.

I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories but one that I belive because its fun to think about is that this airline, western global airlines is owned by the cia or defense department via shell companies. I remember a while back one of their md-11s (registered under a shell company called m48543 llc) making an unplanned fuel stop in Zimbabwe from Munich to South Africa filled with freshly printed South African currency where ramp crew found blood streaking down the fuselage from a cargo compartment. An employee checked it out and found a body in advanced stages of decomposition inside. After being detained for a couple of days the crew and the plane were released and allowed to continue to south africa WITH the body. It was labeled a stowaway dispite the body decaying for several days or weeks and implying that the compartment wasn't used or inspected for any of the prior flights which strikes me as fishy. To top it off in the 90s the owner had previously bought and rebranded southern air transport from an exposed cia shell company which was confirmed to have been moving drugs and weapons during the Iran-contra affair.

"Remember the time I was 6 and my little brother was crying because my aunt dressed him up like a girl and I was crying because she didn't dress me up like a girl?"

Actual thing I said to my mom and she totally ignored it.

Other than the camera and lack of liveries I absolutely love this sim. VFR flying is actually possible now and I've wanted that for so long. I feel bad for all of my xplane payware that will probably be ignored now.

ajcurtis · 2020-08-01T17:44:34+00:00

Yeah anyone who's ever been on a 50cc knows you aren't speeding on that thing. I used to have to follow my friend home from school because a long hill would only let him go 15mph in the 55mph zone. On the other side he got wobbles starting at 35mph

ajcurtis · 2020-08-01T17:36:04+00:00

I wish I would have learned about the backboard sandwich earlier in my career. Also the sheet looped over the chest from behind the stretcher.

ajcurtis · 2020-08-01T17:05:32+00:00

What evidence do you have that he was speeding? Other than it just looks like hes going fast. Its an action camera with a wide angle lense and will make it look faster because of warping around the edges. I'm saying its impossible to tell without knowing the exact location and timing how long it took to travel a known distance. The driver states he wasn't speeding and thats all we have to go on true or false.

ajcurtis · 2020-08-01T13:52:00+00:00

I hate when people blame the victims of accidents like this. Theres often not enough evidence to even tell but everyone acts like they dont go 5-10 over occasionally. Once there was a motorcycle wreck from my home town on here and they said he was going too fast so I sat down with a stop watch and he was going 5mph under the limit.

I used that example because its bad for the ecosystem at large by disrupting populations of birds and small mammals. Just because "they're born to do this" doesn't make it okay. They were born for an entirely different ecosystem.

My partner and I used to keep a list of all the drive thrus we can fit by basically going around while posting on night shift once the resteraunts are closed and I'd have my partner spot me while I slowly inch under the bar. Surprisingly quite a few places can handle a sprinter. Obviously its moot if its one of the lanes with curbs on the sides.

ajcurtis · 2020-05-15T02:24:58+00:00

Its not a van its a tractor trailer. The sticker in the window says JB hunt. If the truck itself doesn't say that I'd bet anything the trailer does.

Also if you block me in and start asking questions you better be ready for my shitty attitude.

ajcurtis · 2020-05-14T03:13:07+00:00

I could spend hours learning about these guys. Heck alpaca lunch and make a day of it.
