They have probably gotten ticketed for an unsecured load in the past so now they throw the strap over it so that they can say they secured the load.

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 2 years ago

And yet how you secure a given load depends on the load, of course. There's no way this would fly, is there?

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago

Oh, it’ll definitely fly away

[-] Fosheze@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Depends on the cop but probably not.

*Slaps the dirt*

That ain't going anywhere

Just because "ain't going nowhere" became a catchphrase, the single negation still stands

[-] BigPotato@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

You're just supposed to say the two in sequence.

  1. Slap it
  2. That's not going anywhere
  3. As you walk away, say "ain't going nowhere"
  4. Drive away and watch as you sand blast everything in your rear view

That don't go anywhat

Maybe he knows something we don't... 1000003507

That was my thought... Since the compacted soil is held in place and can't escape laterally, it's basically a wall in the middle of the pile

I'm not sure how much it'd do, but it'd do something

[-] DataDisrupter@feddit.nl 9 points 2 years ago

Maybe it's so overloaded that the sides started buckling and they figured that would fix it? In any event, yeah, that'll fix it!

[-] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

If a tarp was added to this equation it would actually do something.

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I'll just assume the strap is holding the bed onto the frame of that junker

Must be the same group that votes for trump.

Don't hit the screw with a hammer. Load securing is a different kind of politics than ruler succession of 18th century elective monarchies with a constitution.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Hitting a screw with a hammer is a great way to get a screw started that's having trouble.

You might lose foothold though.
