How can I jump across the bridge?

I'm playing Half-Life 2 Episode 2 and I need to get this car to the other side of the bridge. Perhaps I'm missing something dead obvious, but how on earth do I do this? It seemed some in-game event triggered the bridge to move, when I reloaded the game it was pointing the right way. But if you jump on the middle part (there's another part behind this one), it triggers the event where the bridge tilts. So jumping to get the cars out of the way seems a no-go. Since I didn't trust the current answers, I went looking elsewhere . . . [More]

Why remove redstone dust from my command block contraptions?

Whenever I show my command block contraptions to my friends, they always comment that I should remove the redstone dust from them. They say it causes lag and that redstone can be unpredictable, but I've never had a problem like that.  Even if I did, I would just slow down the clock I'm using a bit and add comparators or repeaters to get it to work. Besides, if I don't use redstone dust, how am I supposed to activate things like pistons and redstone lamps? If I need redstone dust in order to make my command block contrapti . . . [More]

Is it a problem if the wall portion of a bedroom overlaps with another one in Dwarf Fortress?

I've just recently learned that a bedroom should contain the walls too, but I only have a 1 tile wide wall between my bedrooms. Is it a problem if these room designations overlap? Question from user Adam Arold at stackexchange. Answer: The short answer is: Bedrooms that share walls simply have walls that exist in both rooms simultaneously (with no loss of value or function).
