Earlier article about Kim:

An initial investigation revealed that the truck and the bicycle were traveling in the same direction on Mount Auburn Street and the truck was turning onto DeWolf Street at the time of the crash.

And from the posted article:

On Friday, Nguyen and the truck driver were both traveling in the same direction along Hampshire Street when the driver made a right turn onto Portland Street, striking Nguyen at the intersection, according to the Middlesex district attorney’s office.

Yes bike lanes, ideally separated so nobody can park on them. I wish police would ticket for turning without signaling. Dream works is transit designed around bikes and trains; adding bike areas to a car centered design will always produce hazards.

Also please never ride next to a truck.

Oooh, I see. Free tax money for the MIC.

I wonder how it was sealed. Is glazed ceramic + wax that airtight? The article (nor many very similar ones from other sites) doesn't give specifics.

Ah, thanks for the proper name for it. Yeah, handy shape!

Looks great! I'm thinking about trying a mortise and tenon project. Any progress photos?

Good that a .gov site explains it so clearly. I'm kind of surprised they can be that forthright without them being actually illegal.

pageflight OP , to Woodworking in What kind of wood is this? Solid wood table was getting thrown out, scavenged for scrap wood.

I was hoping for hardwood! Seems like it's probably not, though.

Yeah, I can pretty easily scratch it with my fingernail, which seems the same as a 2x4 scrap and much softer than some oak and maple scraps I have around.

Also looking more closely at the bigger scratches and screw holes I see lighter wood visible, I was a bit fooled by the stain on the bottom.

It was super heavy. But I have a hard time judging whether it's heavier than a similar bulk of 2x4s.

It lifts out so you can easily empty the crumbs.

Different bridges over Storrow are slightly different heights. One time I rented a UHaul, got on under a bar that I cleared and went under one bridge, and then had to make a hasty last second exit before the next bridge which was lower.

pageflight , to Boston, MA in Gotta love those new EZ-Peel trucks

Oof.

It would help if the hanging bars were actually the same height as the lowest bridges though.

Neat, I would love to see this succeed and expand.
