0roo0roo just got owned.
So it gets softer and collapses. Same result.
not really.. the deformation mechanisms are very different
It's creep deformation my friend. Natural log strain rate vs. 1/T =] graph Oh I love my mechanics classes.
BTW I'm royally pissed.
No shortcut onto the Bay Bridge anymore. That was literally the ELITIST WAY of commuting from the East Bay.
If you don't know it yet, I'll share it with you. When you're on I-80 west going through Berkeley/Emeryville, instead of staying in the right 3 lanes to go on the Bay Bridge, stay in the middle 2 and go to I-880. The ramp is like 1/2 mile long and somewhere in the middle you exit on W. Grand Ave. Take a right and go straight. You hit the onramp to the Bay Bridge, and on your journey on Grand Ave, you pass over the 1/2 mile long line of cars that are going bumper and bumper till the toll plaza. This works only if you have Fastrak. If oyu pull this wihtout Fastrak, you're screwed. Once at the onramp, you drive for maybe 300 ft and a Fastrak lane emerges. You cruise ahead and bam, you're in. If not, you wait in a HUGE LINE that moves FAR SLOWER than the main lanes. You may wonder why you would do this, but that half mile before the toll plaza only has 5 lanes. Even if you have Fastrak, you can't get into a Fastrak lane until you're close enough to the toll plaza. Anyways, now that my elitist way has been shut down, I'm screwed. Fvck commuting to The City.
Another thing is when I come BACK from The City to the EAst Bay, I hav eno way of going on 24, which is unarguably the fastest way to get to South Berkeley (where most students live). Now I have to stay on the I-80 East and go through traffic towards University (the newbiest way of going to Cal).
I hate Caltrans. Fix this sh!t already. Seriously.
