  • A little over a decade ago I slid to an icy stop as the yellow light came on in a turn only lane, about an hour north of Seattle. The guy in front of me tried to stop and ended up going through the intersection as the light turned red. I got a ticket with a photo of the intersection, but you could clearly see my car was stopped a good four feet behind of the line. It was dismissed, but I was pretty mad that I even had to fight that.

    I don’t know if the tech has improved or if they have people double checking tickets before they are issued now, but I can’t say my experience made me feel positive about the automated ticket system lol







  • There is a melting point experiment I did in a college chemistry lab that involved melting glass tubing just to the point that we could stretch it to create a much thinner tube. Glass (depending on type) melts at a much higher temperature than what you’re using here for splicing, so that might be an easier and more reusable method for you?

    Edit: search for “glass delivery tube”, should get you to what we used. Make sure it’s borosilicate and not polycarbonate
