Im not sure im going to explain the well, but...

I think they backed into the pole and it bent the bar (or whatever that guard thingy is called) up and under so much so that the pole ended up behind the bottom rail of the bar. The metal bar, then, spang back into place somewhat. And the pole "bent" / angled backward (from the ground). When the trucker tried to moved forward to get off the pole, the pole got snagged in the hole due to the spring action and got ended up getting dragged back to its more upright position, and it ended up as you see it in the picture.

I dont think the hole in the ground from the pole is from it being dragged forward, so much as from it being pushed backwards.

Edit: someone I know that has family that drives trucks says that it also could have occurred if the other trucks on the side weren't there to begin with and the person was trying to turn and the trailer swung out and the pole got dragged past the first hole and into the second hole. I'm kinda skeptical it could happen that way considering the direction the pole was dragged in the ground but who knows. it's just another perspective. But he also thinks the picture is photoshopped so...

it makes you feel better, the fish has only been documented doing this once in 1997, and it could have been a hoax

Originally I thought the fish only went up there if you peed in the water, but that too seems questionable...

But it does seem to like swimming up women's hooha's. Just don't be a woman and you'll be fine!

Man, that guy had quite a life! Bet he was a hit at party's.

...Back when you could actually be anything you wanted to be. How romantic!

I'm not saying he didn't, that it doesn't, or that he has. It's just that the whole reason were talking about this is cause he over-inflated the value of his assets and nobody wants to loan him money. Technically, if he had money to pay for this, he wouldn't be in this predicament. He wouldn't be begging people to put it on credit. Any reasonable rich person would just pay the damn thing and get it out of the way. Then again he's not reasonable... but I digress.

I'm sure this was just a "legit" way to get the amount lowered / pander to his base / kiss his ass. It sucks that nobody has the gumption to give him the consequences he deserves, but I don't care if he says "he has the money," or had the money in the past to get to the presidency and get everyone on board with his demented plot of world domination. If he doesn't pay it, he ain't got it. There's a reason nobody with actual money would loan it to him.

Yes, greed rules the world.

I'm just being silly, but isn't this technically due to his lack of money?

I got one a couple years ago for Christmas. Guess you can still buy them from those mail order catalogs...

But I use it all the time! It's so handy.

After Fukushima there was a pretty widespread movement to get rid of nuclear power.

They probably definitely wanted it closed. To bad they didn't guess the likely alternatives that would take its place, an push for that too...

More like he needs to know when to take a break when she's most fertile so they can procreate. He's already gone by the time she's having "her time of the month"

If you're into books, it's also the first book in the Southern Reach Trilogy. The movie was good, but the books really flesh out the situation. I was sad they didn't continue the movies with the rest of the books.

Yeah i always thought that was stupid. If thats what it means, I wonder if that means it will count towards the 8 hours you actually work? I wonder if companies would want to pay people for the extra hour vs losing an hour of productivity.

Trading off breaks for going home an hour "early" actually sounds like an interesting proposition for office workers, for people that work outside or in a factory, not so much.
