the reason the article is difficult to read is because it is written by an insufferable elitist hipster who evades every opportunity to share his learning experience with the audience and instead treats them like drooling toddlers with expressions like "Some bollards are not placed deep into the ground or very strong, and might deform under a vehicle impact. Some bollards are quite firmly placed." other gems in this article include:

- shitting on the city engineer of Loveland, a public servant.

- taking a break from bollards to remind the audience about his good feminism.

- taking time to webster the definition of bollards and dance around the idea of them, but never once mentions ASTM F3016 vs. ASTM F2656 or other standard test methods for bollards.

we stay out of the technical here because youre not being taught, youre being told about bollards by the 21st century equivalent of a fucking victorian.
