Dude, you've been on here a year, how do you have enough CR experience to make a Judgement call?:dumb: Seriously, search back through the kitchen for pre 2010 threads; this place was more or less a war zone. It has matured substantially in the past 3 years.

If you haven't caught Anthony's title yet it's "Chaos theory director". Again Im really, really P.C. on other sites, but I love this place as a retreat.

This site was 20x "worse" back in 2010... Personally I like this place because of it's temperament, it's a great retreat from the overly PC/Heavily moderated forums out there.

Voice to text: dont do eeettt.

^^fair and accurate representation of said speed bump^^

Most viruses nowadays are after personal/bank account information. Typically you get infected by clicking on a link and loading a malicious website (Drive by Download). Best defense is to use your head. Dont open email from people you don't know, and even then be weary^clicking hotlinks from people you do know; their system could be compromised and sending you targeted emails.

I agree, the main reason Mac's aren't targeted is because there's relatively few of them out there. Im not sure I agree with "Just as Vulnerable" though. I mean there's certain features of Windows that are easily exploited (Flash Player, Internet Explorer) and the problem just never seems to end. Occasionally i'll hear of a Flash-Based OSX exploit, but not very often. Also doesn't OSX have some sort of Sand-Box feature that thwarts most exploit attempts?

Of course Macs have vulnerabilities and can be compromised. But the issues facing Windows are just massive, I mean there is no way to stop viruses anymore, unless you get lucky and download a virus that isn't F.U.D (Fully Undetectable). Research F.U.D Malware, it's success rate, and the dozens of commercially available "crime kits" sold on the underwebs. All of them are F.U.D, and most all of them will completely own your computer and you won't have the slightest clue. I LOL at people who think they are safe because they have windows essentials and a good anti virus :dumb:. Anti-Virus is so 2009. It's gotten to the point with Windows where there's nothing you can do to stop 90% of viruses, other then using your head.

WINDOWS LOL NEVER ENDING SECURITY VULNERABILITIES LOL

Marked or not, (be interesting to see what Ohio's administrative code has to say on the definition of "Marked") I should be able to negotiate them with minimal issues when going the speed limit. Also, and man is it getting old repeating myself, theres a ceartin way 90% of Ohios speedbumbs advertise themselves. Theres a reason for that. SO PEOPLE CAN FUCKING SEE THEM. Find me another speedbump that looks like that black one in Columbus..do it. I got a sneaky suspicion you will fail.

Oh CR how I love the. Straight up I missed the sign, I try and keep my eyes on the road at all times, especially in residential areas where signage is almost non-existant

Correct (to an extent) at least when I hit the first bump. I was actually doing more like 32, and was definitely paying attention (that's why I flipped out after striking it, I couldn't figure out what the fuck I had hit) Negative. The reason im so mad is I hit them without any knowledge of them being there. Now after the first bump I did slow down to probably 20MPH, and thoroughly scanned for another, but even then I didn't see the godamn 2nd one and hit it without any hesitation. Also what the fuck kind of policy is it to place a speed bump thats supposed to be taken at 15 (or really more like 5mph) in a 25MPH zone? I thought the whole purpose was to try and get people to do the speed limit, not slow to a crawl and do single digits. Every.Last.Speed bump I've encounterd in a 25MPH zone I've taken @ 25MPH and had zero issues. Posted speed limit is 25. I should be able to take a speed bump doing the speed limit and not get fucking raped. Old Couple in a Civic wouldn't even touch it without basically coming to a dead stop, then inching their way over. I have no problem slowing down / slowing down for speed bumps,especially in neighborhoods. What im pissed about is these particular speed bumps are downright scandalous. They're poorly marked/illuminated, and the design inflicts substantial damage when taken at the speed limit. I think I said this before, but there's now way i'll ever take one over 10MPH.

It's not just me and my car, trust me. After I took those pictures an older couple in a Civic rolled through. Honest to god they more-or-less came to a complete stop then inched there way over. That's basically the only safe way you can negotiate them, it's almost like jumping a curb. No way in hell I would ever take one above 10MPH.

Took some more pictars last night. Was sort of blocking traffic and in a rush so they're not the best, but should give you a better feel for the size/shape/etc. http://i.imgur.com/m4NxQSal.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Z8JXOBbl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ScSW1rAl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/R6r0QH2l.jpg

Im only sitting like an inch or so below factory ride height, so its nothing crazy. However when you hit these speed bumps the front wheels nearly level-off on the street before the rear wheels even begin to take the bump. For a split second your car (well my car) is perfectly level on the street with that speed bump sitting directly underneath. Feels like it could scrape at any time. You can't "ride" them, such that you distribute the impact/load between the front and back suspension. In regards to my headlights, im sure they're noting compared to brand spanking new oooOOOoDiiiii lenses, but I don't have any complaints. That said it was storming pretty bad the other night, and it was nearly impossible to keep every last spec of condensation off my windshield. So yes, my vision was definitely impaired. Even so, had there been some sort of reflective marker or bright color pattern I would have picked up on it immediately. As you can see in the pic those little white indicators are damn near invisible from 20 yards away, and thats during the day. At night you can't see a damn thing. Thats bullshit then, the posted speed limit is 25, I shouldn't have to crawl at a snails pace because someone decided to install speed bumps that are nearly impossible to detect after dark. I mean shit, throw some yellow reflective markers on the ramp incline, I'll see those, I promise. So yes, flame away, it is a sign warning of a speed bump ahead. I guess I missed it the other night? I keep my eyes on the ROAD. A sign simply isn't enough warning, especially with how poorly visible these bumps are.

So I lied, I guess it has white stripes across the top. That said you can hardly see them from a distance when it's light out...Why not just paint the fucking thing yellow? Look at this fucking thing, I crawled over it and still thought I was for sure going to scrape my oil pan. http://i.imgur.com/g5IUpMKl.jpg A ride-height view from maybe 20 yards away, can barley make out the white notches. http://i.imgur.com/StSZ7DGl.png 75 Yards: You can't really see the structure itself, sort of blends in to the road. http://i.imgur.com/7dyAfDyl.png And Finally a NORMAL, MARKED, SPEED BUMP for comparison. http://i.imgur.com/oscUPV2l.png

It's a connected main thoroughfare between Trabue rd and 5th ave. Houses only line 1/2 of it, the other half is lined with commercial/rental properties. I doubt they (HOA) own it nor have any control over it.

Explain? As others have said the speed bumps aren't really the issue, it's the fact they're jet black and unmarked that has me pissed off.

Submitted. Case # 1507206545. Lets see if they do anything.

Lake Shore drive. (Which is 90% populated by extremely wealthy empty nesters..Just sayin)

In case you (and others missed it) Iwashmycar nailed it on the first page; the speed bumps are being put in because basically all of 5th avenue is going to get re-routed onto this street once they close 5th ave. bridge for construction. That said they still need to do a better job marking the damn things.
