Yup, that it is.

I remember when reasonable-quality test equipment was expensive and difficult to come by. Now, I have a little thing that plugs into my laptop via USB which cost $100 (in today's near-worthless money) and does 10x as much as a scope that cost $1,000 (in valuable, 1980s money.)



Serious question: I wonder if it was like this right at the dawn of the industrial revolution. Were people like "Holy ****, Amos! A hammer like this used to take a whole day for a blacksmith to forge, and cost nearly a dollar! Now you can buy them by the dozen for one chicken each at Ezra's Opium Den & Hardware Emporium!"

I love how they just added the 3rd axle.

But im curious: did the authorities just simply load his trailer with boat onto theirs? doesn't seem any safer

Maybe they just gave him a warning, but he had a flat tire so they towed it to the lake for him.

if the unsafe part was the axle rating then that solves it.

$2070 fine (I guess CDN) for violations + tow. Trying to find the twitter feed again but here’s another stop by the same PD. In this one the driver swears it’s safe because he “tied it down with garden hose officer”. Love the hitch...

Similar, but with busses:



This kind of thing is surprisingly popular.

The school buses are fuggen lame!

I usually go to the season final of this every year. It's a blast.


Edit* in fact that particular race i had the boat on display for one of my sponsors, who also happened to be sponsoring someone in this race. There was also a decent fight this race, i believe it was with two cars that hit each other on lap 4.

FIBA: Australia vs Philippines:



In Australia, basketball is a sporting minnow compared to Australian Rules Football, Rugby League, Rugby Union and Cricket - this game was almost as exciting as an Ice Hockey match though!
(full-on brawling has pretty much been eliminated from Aussie Rules Football and Rugby these days).

I doubt we'll ever see this again in basketball at an international level, even the official commentators were shocked at what they were seeing.
