Two issues: Fakes and removal of mercury Fakes issue is obvious Hg was added to re-combine gases. Removed bcause it's toxic initial repalcemnts din't work well. Current ones OK So very old batteries are OK genuine current ones OK. Fakes and ones from several years ago likely not OK. --- End quote --- As a parent I have to deal with kids toys that require batteries. Current batteries available in the normal supply chain often start leaking as soon as the toy lights start to go dim. That means that typically one battery is leaking before its mates are even fully discharged. Not sure if this is a chemistry issue, or inconsistent battery capacity resulting in some in a set getting reverse voltage closer to end of life. If your current ones are OK, I wonder if the product on your side of the pond is different slightly from what is on this side of the pond? EDIT: fixed quotes. Not sure how that went wrong? |

So you can be CO2 free in an EV and still have the same issues. To rub it in even more, cyclists use the lanes the wrong way, i.e., they will ride against the traffic as seen in my video, also ride on the footpath. --- End quote --- Well in thinking further about it you couldn't install them in NYC anyway. How would you adequately plow the streets after a snowstorm? Those barriers would be a sitting duck and wind up in a snow pile. --- End quote --- It doesn't snow worth a damn in London. I was there once when the tall blokes got a dusting of snow on their heads, & us more height challenged never saw any of it. Of course, the place is so big it has its own "mini-climate!". |

I feel for those poor people affected and hope that everyone is safe and sound. If only the blonde buffoon hadn't reduced the fire cover when he should have been increasing it eh :palm: [video] --- End quote --- Finally got some time to look at the footage you posted. Truly horrific. I've never lost everything in a fire and hope I never do. It's hard to imagine how the people who used to live in those burned out shells are feeling at the moment. :( When I look at how little people's gardens protected them from the fire, it also makes me think about my situation... I live in the apartment marked by the red dot at the end of the building. If the forest that my bedroom looks out towards ever caught fire, it's game over and probably so quickly I wouldn't be able to save more than my passport, my daughter and our skins. --- End quote --- I'm hearing reports of yet another devastating fire in the Dagenham area of East London, where a field fire has spread and caused the evacuation of 5 streets and some houses have been lost in this fire as well, Cerebus might well know more, its his neck of the woods is that. --- End quote --- Welcome to our nightmare! --- End quote --- Black Saturday bushfires ? It seemed only the Kiwi living there could properly see the dangers of living in a wooded subdivision and felled all the trees on his section for which he got dealt to by the local Shire but he had the last laugh after every other nearby house was burnt to the ground. |

They installed them on the road with the local hospital which means ambulances take 10x as long to traverse it. On top of that it’s so narrow you can’t get two busses past each other now. Total fail. --- End quote --- What posts are these then, would they be posts to mark out the bleeding cyclists lane from vehicles? --- End quote --- Yep: https://goo.gl/maps/cg187YUyaSTvgEnc6 --- End quote --- We have the same bleeding shit here, and like you the Hospital with the A&E dept is on the same road FFS. Ambulances struggle to get through the traffic and to add insult to injury, there are bus stops along the route and most of those were in layby's, now they are in the road and block the road completely. --- End quote --- It's nice to know that those who design these things carefully think them through and consider the possible worst-case scenarios, isn't it? ::) ::) ::) ::) -Pat --- End quote --- Yes, it must take some effort to always successfully achieve the worst case scenario. I hate the things also. And yes, I am a cyclist. They may help slightly in protecting cyclists in long straight sections, but the spacing is always so tight that anything crossing the cycle path becomes a compressed high-stress conflict zone. Driveways, intersections and turning lanes all get worse. As already said, clearing the roadway for emergency vehicles or a breakdown lead to chaos among the posts. I also drive a truck. My mirrors are high enough and large enough to extend OVER the posts. Other cyclists who believe the posts are magical and it is okay to ride right up beside the post may be in for a rude surprise... |
