What is that, just salt?

Top fasteners see combined loading, shear and pullout. Failure appears to be from them pulling out, as the bottom fasteners appear to be still attached. Wouldn't be surprised if they used nails instead of screws.

Yeah, you're probably right...but, it's just water... I think there are a couple things that could be done that were mentioned. 1 put some metal bollards up in front of the pier. 2 regardless of if you do 1. Putting lateral boards up will greatly reduce the impact. If lateral boards were up that...

Nice. I like sparkfun. Here's a solenoid operated valve if you want to figure out how to spray them with a sprinkler or something like that: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10456

What about setting up a spray system. If they hit your dock, they get sprayed with water. If the customers start getting wet because of the idiot boat "captains" hitting your dock, it'll stop pretty quick.

Whatcha talkin' about Willis? There's a soffit right here: But I agree with you...This does belong in the hall of shame...No gutter guards!!! Just look at all those leaves: ....All kidding aside, what is the worst thing about the installation isn't the camera or what I've posted above, it's...

That's terrible: Do people not take pride in their work anymore?

It's okay though because that sheetrock screw identifies as a deck screw and is therefore suitable for outdoor use...

The angle is everything. The friction factor is surely less than the bottom of the ladder. Your point is 100% correct, the ladder/board interface is where it would slip. That is unless he leans too far to the left. And the steps are designed to be loaded the other direction. But, otherwise looks...

There's an easy fix for that...Just reroute the wire here:

That's not the installer's problem.

That's terrible placement for the toilet paper, it's not very easy to reach. They should have installed the holder here: It's also worth noting that by putting the return air in the bathroom, there's no need for an exhaust vent...Pretty clever planning...Just sayin'...

That reminded me of the sign below. I have always wondered about the story behind it.

Well there's also that they total out the EVs after small accidents because there aren't enough shops to fix them...or so I've heard.

Car fires are a problem with IC cars too. There was a car fire at my wife's work and because the fire department across the street took 45 minutes to get there, the adjacent vehicles were damaged. So, this problem isn't unique to EV's...But, I do believe the health concerns with the burning...

I love my battery operated tools. But, they have their place just like battery operated vehicles. They work great for golf carts and apparently in China they make cars with swappable batteries. So, I'm not claiming it can't be done. But the way we are attempting to do it appears to be set for...

IDK if the future is EV...It seems there's a lot of pressure to move that way, but it has its problems. People are already disgruntled that the vehicles are totalled when the battery goes out...Imagine the disgust people will have once the newer ones reach the end of the life for the batteries...

Jeez...That reminds me of the guy who reported that the timing for a traffic light was incorrect and backed it up with data. He put in the email or letter that he was an electrical engineer (It's kinda relevant that the guy had the mathematics background to be making the claim...). Well, he had...

All kidding aside, that camera looks like a marked upgrade from its predecessor. Thanks for the detailed review.

Your conclusion was lacking one important detail...I don't normally comment on people's appearance, but your neighbor is one ugly dude, regardless of lighting...

This is 'Murica...We don't need no tests...

I think they can go a few more miles, the steel belt isn't even showing in this area yet:
