re: I saw a tow truck tow an AWD/ft4x4 today and wondered. Are they responsible for damage?

I'm not sure why people think that a drivetrain spinning for a few miles to a lot will burn them up.
They are made to spin as we go down the highway.
Just put the vehicle in neutral.
Christ, where do I begin with this mess of ignorance.
Towing an all time all wheel drive vehicle with 2 tires spinning and 2 tires not spinning WILL CAUSE MAJOR CATASTROPHIC DRIVETRAIN DAMAGE.
Towing a rear wheel drive vehicle with the transmission in neutral, engine not running WILL 100% CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE due to lack of lube. The transmission is only lubed when the input shaft is turning, not the output shaft.

Up here the salt and calcium chloride they dump on the roads in the winter means the body rots to the point of structural instability before the rest of the mechanical systems wear out. Wife’s car is 12 years old, mine is 10. They’re both showing signs of rust.
15 years is about the limit unless you REALLY stay on top of washing the underside of the vehicle.

MN Attorney General says protesters have no right to carry firearms
From Breitbart
quote:
In 2024, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) was among 17 AGs who contended there is no right to carry a gun at “political rallies and protests.”
quote:
The AGs did this in a January 26, 2024, filing in support of upholding California’s gun controls for “sensitive places” in a Ninth Circuit case. In the filing, Ellison and the other AGs expressed support for banning the possession of firearms “in crowded places.” The AGs wrote: “Without the power to institute such restrictions, California and other states would be left unable effectively to prevent gun violence in crowded places, around vulnerable populations, or where individuals are exercising other constitutionally protected rights, putting the public at risk.”
quote:
They emphasized, “Even the perceived risk of gun violence could cause repercussions, as individuals may be discouraged from visiting crowded or confined locations where they know others may be armed.”
quote:
To bolster their argument, Ellison and the other AGs noted the practice of designating “event involving political speech, like political rallies and protests,” as gun-free sensitive places.

In April 1995, a 55 ton limestone boulder, broke loose from the river bluffs by spring freeze-thaw cycles, rolled down the hill and into a house, landing in the bedroom.
The real crazy thing is, in 1901 a boulder rolled down the hill and into a house that stood in the exact same spot, killing a woman asleep in her bed, but not her husband by her side.

You Baws who are “On call” for work

How does it work, what are your rules, agreements?
You get paid a base rate for being on call? Or just overtime if you get called out?
I know I know, fry cook problems.

My employers Achilles heal seems to be payroll. You personally have to keep track of every minute you work and go over your paycheck because, more often than not, it’s going to be wrong.
Best part is, payroll got so sick of employees calling and bitching, they HAD THEIR PHONE DISCONNECTED, now all inquiries must be done through email. And if you don’t cc at least 2 levels of management above you, you’ll never hear back.
It’s either criminal or they’re borderline retarded.

USPS is a joke.
I’ve switched everything possible to online billing/online pay because I can’t trust the USPS to get a check from my mailbox to a town 10 miles away in less than 20 days.
The postmaster a couple towns over got arrested for theft, opening birthday cards to steal cash.
Been a couple of postal employees in the news for stealing Menards rebates lately.

My question is, why can't they move the sensor that makes the arms come down farther down the track? The excuse I hear is the train goes faster than a normal freight train and the automobiles are not used to it.
Short answer, the gates and lights will come down sooner the faster the train is traveling. They don’t need to move anything.
There’s a small DC voltage set out down the track, the train completes the circuit and feeds it back to the computer that controls the lights and gates, which will sense how fast the train is traveling and insure the crossing is protected ~10 seconds before the arrival of the train, whether the train is going 10 mph or 100 mph.
As far as people getting trapped on the crossing by the gates, the gates have a small shear bolt, if you push on them, they’ll swing out of the way.
The real reason you rarely see gates protecting both lanes on both sides of the crossing is MONEY. The municipality that owns the road, pays for the crossing. Lights and gates are expensive.
