I’ll circle the block for a half hour before opening up my wallet Sounds like the lil Dicky song Save Dat money. I don’t like paying cover charges. Pretty rare here in Allentown but when I was in philly a few years ago bar hopping the one place had like a $10 cover charge and it was already almost 1am. My friend was like,”what is Bruce Springsteen playing”...didn’t go there. Quote

Well no ticket...amazing. Felt like stealing. Wow a whole hour. That's risky. When I go to the public library, I wont put a nickel in the meter thing because I'm in and out in about 4 minutes. Have never gotten a stupid ticket. Quote

In Allentown the meters are $2 for an hour so a quarter only gets you 7.5 minutes. I had zero quarters and was going looking through my dimes and was like fuck this. I was amazed no ticket because the Allentown parking authority is ruthless. One of my Newark to Denver flights I was super late as I overslept a bit and parked in short term right at the terminal. Was $38 a day and I paid for 8 days. That stung. Edited October 9, 2020 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 1 Quote

theprogram4 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Posted October 10, 2020 Allentown still has coin fed meters lol Quote

I’m only in the parts of Allentown that require meters a few times a year. There are also several parking decks which honestly I haven’t been in for probably 15 years as there is ample street parking. Quote

The credit card machines that print out the dashboard receipt arent too bad, at least. I cant stand fumbling with change anymore. For several weeks where I was working, I had to put 32 quarters in the meter every day for parking. It was absurd. I thought I was going to get carpal tunnel.

mbike-ski Posted October 10, 2020 Report Posted October 10, 2020 It's pretty long. It's just flat. It has to be the first time I have ever seen a high speed lift used to connect 2 base areas.Sugarbush?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Shadows Posted October 25, 2020 Report Posted October 25, 2020 Wouldn't making the bull wheel bigger slow the fixed grips down while still keeping line speed high? Quote

Can’t see how. If the chairs are fixed to the line they have to travel at line speed at all times. Quote
Shadows Posted October 25, 2020 Report Posted October 25, 2020 Just wouldn't whip around as fast. redirect in but still exit inline. Quote

Benm Posted October 26, 2020 Report Posted October 26, 2020 could something 'pull' / 'slow' the chair at the loading zone? i can't really explain what i'm thinking, but the motion would be like a swing. making the chair a lot taller (i mean the vertical bar between the chair and the wire) would help. being a fixed grip, i can't think of anything besides that or a magic carpet.

Schif Posted October 26, 2020 Report Posted October 26, 2020 Those magic carpets in the lift loading area are not my favorite. Quote

Pretty sure if your merry go round is spinning at a constant rate, your velocity at the outside would be higher than the inside. Changing where your cable is in relation to the center of the circle, while maintaining the same linear cable speed, would just change how fast the wheel rotates, not how fast the chair on the cable is actually moving. Someone feel free to correct me on that, been a long time since my last physics class. 2 1 Quote

We do appreciate the clarification though. 3 1 1 Quote
Schif Posted October 26, 2020 Report Posted October 26, 2020 I think the fact that it's a high speed fixed grip makes the case that it is too short to be a detachable. If it's a water heater though I'll need to know if it's gas or electric Quote
