A PSA about trucks from a truck driver

I and some colleagues were talking about how we wish everyone could see the safety videos that our company was showing us, because I don’t think most people understand how traffic works in a truck. So here’s some things we wish everyone on the road knew.

- we’re not kidding about tailgating. If you’re right behind us on a straight highway? Chances are we have NO IDEA you’re there, which means we can’t anticipate any of your movements. Plus slowing down takes multiple downshifts, so we might start decreasing speed way earlier than you expect.

- We’re not kidding about any of our blind spots. WE CAN’T SEE YOU, GUYS.

- That bit about slowing down taking a while? The same goes for when you’re in front of us. Don’t cut off a truck. Oh god, PLEASE don’t cut off a truck. If you cut me off, I’m not irritated, I’m terrified. For YOU. It can take 7 to 9 seconds for us to stop. DON’T CUT OFF TRUCKS.

- Before you get mad about how slow we’re going on the highway, keep in mind that many companies govern their vehicles so they literally CAN’T go over 60 or 65. This is a good thing, I promise. Because…

- Do you know what happens when a car meets a truck in an accident? The car gets totaled and the truck needs a new coat of paint. You will not win this fight. I know nobody likes getting stuck behind a big dumb truck, but it’s not worth your life.

We are trying our best to protect you from our 80,000 pound death machines. Please help us out.

I covered this jar of old pond water to keep mosquitoes out, didn't realize there were that many mosquito larvae already inside...

An entire generation apparently

....who couldn't get out, but still mated and made another generation.

It is true that they don't actually require blood to at least lay SOME eggs. I always thought maybe they still needed some nectar but I guess not, the adults are ready to mate the instant they emerge so I guess in an enclosed space they find mates well before they run out of nutrient fuel.

I can never open this. I wonder how long it can keep going. Larvae just feed on bacteria and algae, which are fed by a combination of sunlight and the dead adults.

Just happens to be a jar I'd put this custom sticker on when I was keeping leeches in it. (centuries old japanese art of a "bug" that causes illness)

i find it really charming when kids have specific interests that are wildly incongruent with their age or their general demeanour. there's a kid in my class who's a pretty standard 12-year-old except that he is deeply deeply obsessed with bagpipes and finds a way to incorporate bagpipes into every project i give him

‘capitalism works’ factoid actually untrue. the 62 people who own half the world’s wealth are outliers and should be eaten.
