Discuss holiday items, ideas, and cheer!| Watching the big trucks | | I was at my mom's this morning and after deciding that she wasn't up to going to Great Courses, I took her down to the end of the hall for a quiet place to talk to my sister.Once we were done, I sat there and watched the construction going on in what used to be the parking lot.There is now a BIG hole in the ground.I watched a back hoe and a bulldozer and a trencher all working away. At one point the guy with the bulldozer used it to pick up a piece of equipment and help them load it on a truck.I could see the big dump trucks leaving with dirt and then coming back empty.It was really interesting - I sure can understand why kids find it fascinating - I sure did! I must of spent most of an hour there, watching the guy with the back hoe move a pile of dirt over, the bulldozer moving piles of dirt around that the trencher had cut out of the ground.I also think I saw the base for the new swimming pool...Only supposed to be another 2 years to be finished! | |
| | When it Comes to Cars/SUVs/Trucks - Style, Function or Sport? | | What sort of person are you when it comes to choosing a new car? Luxury vs. Sport? Style vs. Function? Enviornmental vs. Gas Guzzler? What about your dream car? Power or Comfort? What is important to you? To start things off, I'd say that for me, performance and the thrill of driving is what it's all about. I drive a Civic Si in a city and even though it is a six-speed manual, I love to drive it in the city and curvy roads. Exit/Entrance ramps are extra fun! | |

| | Big trucks --- do you see them on busy city streets? | | I see big trucks running along with private cars and other public transportation in busy city streets. With the heavy traffic in the city especially on rush hours, these trucks are just adding to this problem on the streets. The roads get so congested especially with the big trucks on the road.What is your take on this? Do you have this situation in your places?e base for the new swimming pool...Only supposed to be another 2 years to be finished! | |
| | Commercial Trucks and Trailers are really worthy | | these trucks are widely used as commercial trucks by the people for commercial uses and also innovative platform for the industrial development. these trucks and trailers are really useful for the extra and large luggage and transport. e base for the new swimming pool...Only supposed to be another 2 years to be finished! | |
| | People should be discouraged from buying trucks/SUVs Do you agree? | | Trucks and large SUVs are much heavier than other cars, so take longer to stop and in an accident cause much more damage to other cars due to their weight, causing more people to die.
Also as they are higher up, their point of impact on a car will be around window height rather than lower down, this is a weaker point on the car, and an SUV/truck will do more damage, further increasing the liklihood of killing someone.Then, obviously they use more fuel, polluting the environment more for everyone.Also, they have a higher chance of rollover in a crash, which could kill the occupants. | |
| | The ROBOT REVOLUTION:DRIVERLESS Trucks,dogs and MORE!!!! | | The idea of a 42-ton lorry with no one at the wheel looming in your rearview mirror is pretty terrifying.
But we had all better get used to it because driverless juggernauts could be on Britain's motorways within ten years, experts predicted yesterday.
And the trucks look like being the forerunners of a robot revolution.According to the Royal Academy of Engineering, artificially intelligent robots and computers capable of making life and death decisions will become more and more common in all aspects of life.
The academy wants a public debate about the social, legal and ethical issues raised by the increasing use of 'thinking' machines such as surgeons, soldiers, babysitters, therapists, carers for the old and even sex partners.
Their report, called Autonomous Systems, explains how the computer-directed trucks would use data from laser-radar, video cameras and sat-nav to steer through traffic and pedestrians,technology is already in place for driverless cars and robotic taxis that take passengers to any destination are likely within 20 years. Fully automated trains are already in use on London's Docklands Light Railway and a... | |
| | Trucks sure knows how to ruin a day.... | | I was on the interstate driving and minding my business when a rock hit the window of my car. It's not like I can do very much other than get it fixed but what has me upset the most is they keep driving as if nothing has happened. I am aware that the company will pay for it but I was too disgusted to even wrestle with that & on top of that I did not have an ink pen to jot down the information so I became even more upset. Now I have a crack in my windsheild the size of a quarter and it can spread at any time. It is too close to Christmas and forreal... now that's going to have to be my new Christmas present to myself...October 31 is really a jankey day! | |
