Oversize permit Puns

I've been driving 4 years now for 3 company's working my way up in size. I'm now driving for a crane company. I get 20/ hr wait/yard time and 25% of the load hauling. I normally fall under the annual permit of 120,000 lbs but I just did a larger load that required a individual permit. Well the company wants to take the cost of the permit out of the load so instead of making ($2000×.25=[$500]) I'm making (($2000-$500)×.25=[$375]). Is this normal or are they nickle and diming me?

Hi guys,

We've been building a web-app to automate permit research - you enter your origin/destination/load dimensions and get a breakdown of all states you'll have to go through, mileage breakdown, prices of oversize and overweight permits, info about escorts, fuel costs and so on.

Here's a screenshot of how it looks like: https://i.imgur.com/xgRmvyK.png

We're still beta-testing and are actively looking for people to try it out and give us feedback, so if you have a few minutes to take a look at it and let us know what you think we'd really appreciate it.

It's a web-app, no need to install anything, just sign up at: https://oversize.io

If you have any questions feel free to ask here, through the live chat or email us at info@oversize.io

Thanks a lot in advance!

A family friend is a trucker and just got a ticket here in southern California for parking an oversized vehicle. He didn't even know he needed a special permit and got a ticket for $600.

For those of you guys that use oversized vehicle parking permits, how is it? In my area, you can only buy three days worth at a time for $10/day, which seems like a huge pain.

Where do you guys park your vehicles? I assume designated truck parking lots? Do you have experience with obtaining oversized vehicle parking permits? What are the laws like in your area? Any advice?

Thanks.

I'm considering an oversized shed in the backyard. Not huge, but bigger than the 112sqft allowed without a permit.

I'm wondering if this is worth pursuing if the process is painful and often declined, or just stick with the permitted size?

Anyone have any experience with this?

Greetings, I have to tow a oversized load across 2 states. I have the permit for one of the states and I’m waiting on the other one, my big question within this is can I have the permit on my phone or do I need to have a physical copy of it

Thanks

I have been seeing triples on the freeway recently and wondered when this became legal. Some of these are the Qube 42 meter long beasties that look more at home on the Great Northern Highway. I can't see how these can stop safely in freeway conditions considering the tailgating behavior often seen in the more reckless truck drivers, much less shutting down traffic flow when forcing a "merge" from on-ramps. Any thoughts on at what point is a vehicle too big to mix with cars on a domestic road?

So I'm not sure how much overlap there is in viewers, but I'm a big car guy, and getting into guns.

As a big car guy, I'm a big fan of VINWiki Car Stories which can range from "Here's the worst car I ever bought and why" through to "buying this car is the craziest story you've ever heard"

Now given that it's a fairly well performing niche, as well as the fact that a lot of gun owners I know seem to have some insane stories about their firearms, how they came to acquire them, and in other cases, the crazy provenance of some firearms.

Also some very interesting stories around hunting trips, shooting comps (interstate and international), weapons inspections that got a bit "hairy" so to speak, there's a lot of interesting gun stories around.

So I was wondering if:

1. A channel like that would be interesting to watch?

2. It's something people would actually like to talk about?

I understand that there is also a substantial number of firearms owners in Australia that prefer to remain anonymous, so they have some interesting stories, but would rather they stay around the campfire with mates. Which is fair as well.

I think there would be some phenomenally interesting stories out there, some people have some phenomenally interesting firearms and stories behind them (from rare pistols, to wartime anti-aircraft guns, to armoured vehicles, to quirky interesting rifles)

Hell, I've got a few, like the time a friend randomly calls me knowing I am a truck driver and said

>I've found an Anti-aircraft gun that's been deactivated in Melbourne, how would I get it to Brisbane

Thing weighed 7 tonnes and had a 2.8m footprint...so not the easiest thing to move. Eventually we decided not to go get it due to the pandemic and how difficult it would be (oversize, it was in a residential suburb, so permits were needed to be oversize in a suburb, all that jazz, we would need a whopping big crane at both ends, just a colossal dick around)

If this is something that might be interesting, I would be looking forward to probably 18 months time to getting the ball rolling on something like this, I have a bunch of camera gear here that I bought back when I was filming 4WD stuff, now it's literally just sitting there gathering dust.

Stupid idea? No one would want to share stories?

Biggest risk a friend said to me is

>It's a knife edge, you could tell a story about this one guy who was an absolute idiot, but framing it that it was *one guy

During the middle of the afternoon, the Northman enters the medical wing of the estate. Ignoring the protests of the Matron, he enters the sickroom. Inside, the Brigadier lies in bed, conversing with the other overseers, who have came to visit him in the absence of any duties. As the Northman approaches, the conversation peters out. Standing and regarding each overseer in turn, he begins to speak.

"Eence the Brigadier has recovered fully fae his hinmaist bout, ah wish tae challenge him fur the title i' Fantoosh Duelist.

As befitting a duel atween the defender an a challenger, ah request a battle usin several weapons sae yon the victor is truly deserving i' the title i' Fantoosh Duelist. Here is fit ah be proposing:

33rd of Anael, First month of Snow;

2109 years since the new gods came.

9am, Magistrates Office

Maxwell sat in a well appointed waiting room, waiting for the Magistrates assistant to come out from the inner office. The candelabras were unlit, and the morning sun was doing a fine job of illuminating the room. The plush carpet was indeed a work of beauty, showing a stylized sunrise in red, blue, and gold.

While he waited, he went over in his mind the questions he would ask. 1) When did Demonia add his face to their coins? 2) Why did Demonia add his face to the coins? 3) Would they remove his face from the coins?

He waited for what seemed like an eternity in the comfortable chair, until he heard the muted sound of shattering glass from the inner room. As he stood up to head towards the sound, the assistant came out, looking more than a little distraught. “I'm sorry, sir, but the Magistrate is unable to take your meeting due to him having just jumped out his window, and running down the street.”

“Okay?” Was all Maxwell could come up with as a response.

“If you could kindly leave a calling card, I can have him get back to you when he returns?”

“Certainly.” Maxwell removed an old calling card from his jacket, wrote his current contact location on the back and handed it to her. “Here you go. I do hope he will be okay.”

“I'm sure he will be fine in a few days.” The assistant said, smiling nervously.

Maxwell walked out of the Magistrate building, whistling an old tune, and turned up the broad street towards the Council Building.

*-*-*

Approximately 10 am, Council Building

“Oh goddess and all the hells, he is here! He was just in my office!” An extremely panicked Magistrate Ilgrid was yelling, having just charged in on the councils meeting.

“Magistrate Ilgrid, if you don't want to loose your position, I suggest you restrain yourself immediately, and depart this chamber!” Councilman Wright said, voice only raised a small amount.

“Councilors, I don't think you understand!” Ilgrid said, voice still overly loud, as sweat seeped from his face, “The HERETIC WAS IN MY

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Sitting on the plane yesterday, I was reading over some of the work a friend of mine produced on naked short selling, and it occurred to me that this info belongs in a venue where the public can access it. So I broke my commitment to take a few days off, away from computers, to post this - and then I will really stay offline...

By way of introduction, let me say that there are authorities, and then there are authorities. The gentleman in question is a true expert on the topic, partly because he’s been studying the issue for about 25 years – his comments to the SEC on Reg SHO have taken on near mythical status, as they so clearly warned of the abuse that would come should the SEC not implement the safeguards he’d advocated. His name is likely familiar to many who have closely followed this topic – Dr. Jim DeCosta.

The challenge in presenting the true state of the union is to provide data, supported by research, in bite-sized morsels that people can digest. I feel that his work is among the most comprehensive I’ve seen on the subject, so I leaned on him to allow me to publish a small sampling of his material. His premise has always been that the solution to the entire NSS mess lies in educating the investing public, the regulators, the Judiciary, and anybody else with a vested interest in the clearance and settlement system.

He’s written 2-1/2 unpublished books on naked short selling, which contain more data than any other work on the subject I’ve seen. In Chapter 42 he delineates some of what he calls “Not so bullet points”. He lists 40 of them, but I’m only going to publish the first dozen for now, as there is a lot of information to assimilate.

So without further ado, the first of Dr. Jim’s bullet points:

“I want to end this Chapter 42 with 40 “Not so bullet points” in regards to DTCC behavior in general. Many of these were revealed in the above analysis of the DTCC’s “Self-interview” and others were covered in previous chapters. My goal here is to get all readers on the same wavelength and build a foundation from which we can tackle the concepts in the last 28 chapters of this book and then move onto Book #3.

40 NOT SO BULLET POINTS IN RE: NAKED SHORT SELLING

Rightio, take a knee, face in. Grandstand position, all that jazz. Rest.

I knew this was coming, for 8 years, I knew it was coming.

You may not.

But, let's take a step back boys and appreciate exactly what J5 means.

>J51 — Not Employable on Medical Grounds – Medically unfit and not employable other than within applicable restrictions in the period leading up to termination > >J52 — Not Employable on Medical Grounds – Non-effective and unable to be employed in the period leading up to termination

Note 1 thing that it says here:

>Not Employable on Medical Grounds

Now, this means that you are not really a soldier anymore. That's ok. That's fine, you've done your part mate, you're still useful, if you're J51 you can still be around for advice.

Even if you're J52, you can still get phone calls, go in, have a brew with the boys, offer advice and assistance.

You just don't need to do the hard stuff anymore.

However, you still have a job.

>A job? But I'm J5 and you just said I'm "Not Employable on Medical Grounds" > >-Confused soldiers

Yes, a job.

Probably the most important mission and task you've ever had, you see, J5 doesn't (shouldn't) mean that you're gonna be gone next week (if you've had this kind of notice get the fuck off your arse and go chew out your Unit Welfare Officer, don't care if you're a Digger, walk your arse into their office and tell them this is unacceptable, Rome wasn't built in a day, and no one can transition their career in a week)

So, you're J5, either 51 sitting in the brew room if 52 sitting at home growing a beard (52 is far better in that respect)

One thing you need to get is that your job description is no longer "Driver Specialist" or "Armoured Crewman" or "Rifleman"

It's "Getting DVA and CSC sorted"

So, DVA and CSC start work at 0900 and close at 1600 (officially 1700, but good luck getting onto them after 1600)

That means you have 7 hours a day where you are on the phone, on hold, getting onto them.

Claims, DVA goes through Initial Liability, then Lifestyle Assessment, then Permanent Impairment.

Remember that form they had you sign saying that you are being Medically discharged for certain conditions?

Send DVA that form and get those conditions placed in what is the priority queue. They will at least pass the initial liability stage by the time you discharge.

This is important if you don't want to l Pay out of your Pocket for specialists. You can get interim health cover, bit in my exp

The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom began on January 16, 1893, with a coup d'état against Queen Liliʻuokalani on the island of Oahu led by the Committee of Safety, composed of seven foreign residents and six Hawaiian Kingdom subjects of American descent in Honolulu, and the invasion of the Kingdom of Hawaii by U.S. Marines.

Sanford B. Dole, the founder of Dole Corporation (the one that produces your pineapples and other fruits) and other business owners, especially those in the sugar industry, advocated for the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

What ensued was the mass importation of Asian labor, particularly from the Japanese Empire, the Philippines, and Qing China.

Most Hawaiian locals have roots such as Okinawan, Japanese, Korean, Ilocano (Northern Luzon, Philippines), Cantonese and Hakka (Southern Chinese).

Many workers were tricked into coming to Hawai'i, many died on the voyage, and many were promised that they could return to their homeland after work but never could.

Many contractors often waited outside of gambling houses to catch Asian men in debt and offer them a way to pay it off. Working conditions were harsh and many worked for next to nothing. Many often were trapped into cycles of debt which they had to work longer than contracted to pay off.

What was thought to be advertised as an island paradise quickly turned into a grueling work life to pump out sugarcane and pineapples for their contractors.

Source - On January 3rd, 1852, 195 Chinese laborers arrived in Hawai'i to work on sugarcane plantations. They were the first foreign contract workers in the islands.

The workers were initially recorded as Hong Kong citizens, but it was later discovered that they came from Xiamen, Fujian, China. Their arrival was permitted by the Masters and Servants Act passed in 1850. The name of that law is telling; if plantation overseers were dissatisfied with the work of their laborers, they were able to punish the workers without much in the way of functional accountability, including extending or changing the terms of the contracts. Workers had little to no avenue for appeal.

The impetus for the laborers’ journey was purely economic. Scholars suggest that

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

there's a tl;dr at the end

The heyday of "Yae is the Archon" theories seems like it's long past, but further consideration of everything we got from the Archon quests and interacting with Inazuma since made me harbor some suspicions about her real role in the scheme of things. If only for the fun of it, they might merit discussion. And if it so happens that they did make these things on purpose, then it'll feel even more fun in the end.

To start off, there's the matter of the already existing nominal Archon, Raiden/Ei. First, I have no doubt that Makoto was indeed the OG Electro Archon... however, what happened after her death is in doubt. Ei, being her sister, is a clear successor... but she clearly did not make for a good ruler, what with delegating her responsibilities to a robot proxy with a narrow set of precepts and becoming at least as much of an absentee goddess as Barbatos, and continues to be that way even after being effectively dragged out of her mental room by force. Nor did she truly grasp the Electro philosophies which Makoto clearly understood completely - Ei seems to lack any understanding of "Transience" and have an unknown relationship with "Light" first and "Elegance" second, instead promoting a very un-Electro "Eternity"; what little we know of Makoto suggests she was in proper touch with all three with "Transience" being the actual main Inazuman ideal which Ei, for some reason, replaced. And thirdly, she surrendered her symbol of office, her Gnosis - to Yae, specifically.

It is true that Raiden directly, and Ei by proxy, are the legal rulers of Inazuma, that Raiden sits in office and makes all the final decisions and Ei passively watched on until just now. But... do Raiden or Ei really behave like a land's Archon, like what we've already seen Archons of other lands be like? Zhongli nominally rules his land directly, but remains aloof and is more of an overseer of a cabinet of ministers, and also the final authority in matters supernatural and divine, recognized as such by all beings in the know, and always in touch with information about his land from his walking among mortals. Venti does not exercise rulership on principle, with his church and the military he formed ruling in his stead based on the principles of his beliefs, and involves himself mostly with knowing his land in his bard guise and only interacting as an Archon with supernatural matters, like those of Dvalin or Andrius. Both are ultimately monitoring their la

Sirens sounded in the distance. There were many of them, getting closer by the minute. All on my account, of course. Such had been the case for years.

As the sound of helicopters joined the chorus, I stepped to the window and twitched the curtain open to admire the sea of flashing red and blue lights already present outside the fence. A hammer-blow smacked into the outside of the high-tech polycarbonate, and I saw the fine white cracks radiating away from the impact point. I closed the curtain again and moved to one side. Whoever fired that sniper shot had almost certainly done so against orders, but I didn’t feel like trusting my life to whoever they managed to dredge up as a hostage negotiator.

Not that they needed one. I had no intention of harming the President. My presence in the Oval Office was only necessary so that I could pass on my message personally.

“They’re a little anxious to end me, wouldn’t you say?” I asked the current incumbent in the Oval Office. He stared defiantly back at me from his seat behind the Resolute desk but didn’t say anything. While I hadn’t gagged him, I’d taken care to fasten him securely into his chair; one has to observe tradition, after all.

I moved over toward the door and gave the agents there a cursory once-over. Still breathing, still unconscious. That was probably for the best; I didn’t want to appear to be sending mixed messages.

Why, yes, I had actually left a trail of unconscious Secret Service agents and other law enforcement personnel on my way in to see the President. This wasn’t sending a mixed message. With my reputation, clashing with serious well-armed people was an absolute guarantee whenever I came within half a mile of important government officials. Their continuing presence in the land of the living was testament to my chosen level of restraint.

“Don’t worry,” I assured the President, turning back to face him. “I’m not angry that they’re trying to snipe me, and I’m not going to hurt you because of it. In fact, I’m not here to harm you at all. Or kidnap you, strap you to a nuclear missile, FedEx you to Russia or any of the other things I’ve done to your predecessors.”

They’d survived their experiences, of course. While I hadn’t made things easy for the heroes to resc
