[Bad News Gone Right]: 2019 - We Are All Filthy Animals, Apparently

Not a bad idea, just have some measured chains hanging overhead one intersection back on any roads feeding towards the bridge. Let the clanging wake up the drivers that aren’t paying attention to the signs.
MWO: Adamski
If it's the same bridge, apparently there is a hanging bar dong just that, farther up the road. The people that hit that bridge are either brain dead or destined to.
but that's not how shit like this gets fixed unfortunately, usually someone needs to get seriously maimed before local government steps up
OOO or what about move the clearance bar a bit forward, and if anyone hits it , the spring releases on the giant square just before the bridge and launches the truck over.
It's pretty easy to play armchair city government when it's not your own tax dollars on the line.

No one wants to fix it still.
Problem solved.
Isn't the issue more that it is next to Onondaga Lake? So they are probably limited in how far they can dig down. But I agree, I'm surprised they didn't do more than just add new signs after that bus crash...
Don't know how big the town is, but sometimes the projects that would be required to fix something like that can consume the entire budget of the town for a year or more.
I went to college in a town of like 20k, and they had to shut down a bridge on a road that ran down the east side of town past the park and baseball fields, that was also one of the most direct ways to get to the college from my house.
The bridge had had some subsidence problems, and they thought they'd fixed it, but it came back again, and after an assessment determined that it would be basically impossible to make it safe again for an amount of money the town could afford. That was like 9 years ago, so possibly they've saved enough to manage it now, but man the first couple of times that I found out and then subsequently forgot it was closed were frustrating. It was a mostly dirt road that was a mile long with the bridge about 3/4 of the way down and literally no exit except at the ends.
It's far enough away from the lake that it shouldn't be an issue for most of the season.
Still, a little flooding is nothing compared to people dying every few years.
Honestly they'd be better off just lowering the track and building the road over it instead.
Might just shift the problem to tall vans. Not sure if there's a sweet spot.
Mostly.
Oh look, all those trucks now have to pay a dollar and incidentally sir, you can’t come through here the bridge is too low, please go the other way, that’s two dollars to turn around
Then fix everything once you’ve got enough tolls
Trains really, really hate changing elevation.
i think i can
i think i can
i think i can
In the case of the bridge by me, it's ground level and they elevate it over the parkway.
Lookit these fuckin high and mighty trains, too important to be asked to go uphill. Eventually you get to come back down, you worthless bums!
First it was the fucking trains, then it was participation trophies and now we got fuckin millennials all feeling entitled to "make a difference!"
I gotta go eat a bologna sandwich to calm down now- mustard the only condiment I need! That and an honest days work...
Just drop the height down to 2 meters (I don't know what that is in medieval units), that way only cars can pass.
I...don't know what to say.
Edit: Other than the article is potentially NSFW. Or brain.
It...just goes downhill from there.
What's the worst idea you could come up with for the blockchain? If you said 'sexual consent contracts' then step up and claim your prize.
and
Bitcoin conference stops accepting bitcoin as payment due to high fees and processing delays.
They even had a competition between human and robot strippers, which is the most fucked up version of John Henry I've ever heard.
Once again, men not understanding consent make a mockery of it.
I'll die with my tassels on my nips
(Lord, Lord)
I'll die with my tassels on my nips
And the men thought it was funny to throw singles at the robots to spite the women dancers. Which has got to be the most fucked up part of the article.
To be fair to the designer, the robots were initially created as satire.
To be truly fair to the designer, he okayed this. As someone else pointed out, it's not surprising that a man who is concerned about the government's gaze has never once thought about the impact of the male gaze.
Gone right: Giraffe got a hug?
"So I had to deal with all that" is a pretty hilarious way to refer to getting kicked in the face by 2,000lbs of giraffe.
I have no idea what planet you have to be from to think this will do anything to attract more women, are you fucking serious brah
"It's really a shame there's nothing we can bring in to get women into our club." The club owner said, wearing a Magic Mike XXL promotional t-shirt.
Seems like if your goal was to attract more women to your strip club, you might also want to include male dancers in your lineup as well.
But you know whatever, install some robot strippers, that'll get 'em.
You gotta throw a few decoys out there to attract the flock
*Doesn't know anything about women
**Or ducks
The fact she was able to walk away from it kinda indicates that the giraffe while annoyed did not really try to harm her. Had the giraffe really been striking full power it is unlikely she would have woken up again after a kick to the head.
