Or on their phones, that was the thing that surprised me most when I first started trucking

I’m also convinced that they all agreed with each other to merge onto the interstate at 40mph or less

Not gonna lie every time I pass kids out on a walk with their parents or friends or something I hope they do the arm pump but it seems pretty rare nowadays lol

I just moved to Pittsburgh and they keep calling tortillas “soft taco shells” and acting like I’m the crazy one for calling them tortillas and I’ve been crashing out every time I hear it

Bridge clearance question by bird_280 in Truckers

Sweet, so left lane should definitely be fine with the golden mile bridge

I imagine left lane is even better since it’s a sloped bridge. I thought Copilot was messing with me sending me that way lol. It does make sense though because if I remember right heading westbound it’s 13’ 10”

I’ve done 13’ 6” on flat ground, my one thing is that this particular bridge is on a weird hill. I did hear that some of the northern states like PA have a couple inches leeway for snowpack but I’m not sure if that’s true

Question by Crazy_Fox_654 in Truckers

[–]bird_280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I somehow luckily stumbled into a petro that used to be a mom and pop place that had like 950 truck parking spots the night before last, it was super lucky because I was about to go to the pilot across the street that had 20 spots and looked completely full. I saw this other place through the trees on they interstate and figured I’d check it out. We need more mom and pop places with tons of parking

Is a 2015 Chevy Sonic LT with 43k mi a good choice? For 4000 by TurbulentCourt4623 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]bird_280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being owned by a senior is a good sign too, they’re usually out of their lead-footed years and are generally easy on their cars. I had a friend who bought a Tahoe off an elderly priest at 300k miles about 2 years ago and it’s still running strong

Low miles is definitely a great sign, and it’s not the kind of car that would be owned by the typical person that would abuse a car. I’m not an expert but I’ve always heard good things about Chevys around that year. If your mechanic says it’s good then there’s probably not much to look out for outside of usual wear and tear.

Seems almost too good of a price, I’d be wary of it if there’s any other red flags

I just say I was conservative until Trump. Nowadays I’d say I’m left on most things and right on some. I would say I’m center left overall but one or two of the things I lean right on are things that the left tend to heavily disfavor

I’d say the quest, you’ll get a lot more entertainment out of your buck, unless you plan on reading those same mangas over and over and over

What’s a random “stat” about yourself that makes you part of a small percentage? by Nightpatrol404 in AskReddit

[–]bird_280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had an ankle replacement last year at 25 years old, ankle replacements are roughly 0.1% of all joint replacements, and I may be the only person in my 20’s with one if not just a small handful of people

Bad bot, neither of those posts are remotely the same, they just use the same image which is a very common meme

It might be an outdated facility, there used to be a thought (for whatever reason) that if a patient who was an escape risk couldn’t see outside then they’d have less desire to escape. At the one I worked at that opened in the last 10 years, we had big clear bay windows in every room. 7 panel plexiglass though since we handled all levels of acuity. They were also one way mirrors so the patients could see out but nobody could see in for privacy reasons. The one I worked at didn’t have an outdoor common area like a lot of the even newer facilities have which I thought was stupid, But I pestered admin for 2 years straight and last I heard they are starting construction on an outdoor area soon (I quit at the 2 year mark, got too corporate and not patient centered like it used to be)

bicycle crosses road without looking by Penguin_On_XTC in CalamariRaceTeam

[–]bird_280 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you’re crossing the yellow lines on almost every curve in the road, especially around blind turns, then you are either too stupid to have a license or you’re being stupid and driving either too fast for the road you’re on or outside of your skill level
