  • You have to go faster to get on top of the snow. Like a speedboat. Especially in a rear wheel drive vehicle. I recommend the Dodge Viper

    (/jk, in case it wasn’t obvious)

    All jokes aside, there’s a vast difference between driving slower in inclement weather and doing 10 mph in a 40, as the top commenter suggested. Now, was my original comment a bit of a shitpost? A little tongue-in-cheek? Sure!

    At the end of the day, we just want to get home safe. But if conditions are bad enough to be doing 1/4 of the speed limit just to be safe? Stay home. People that drive that too slow in the snow are just as dangerous as those that drive too fast. And it’s not just ability, but equipment as well













  • Ollie went to the neighborhood dance

    And he won the big door prize

    It was a toilet brush, and he took it home,

    And next week some of the guys

    They said, "Ollie how’s that toilet brush?

    “The one you won from the neighbors?”

    Ollie said, "It works pretty good,

    “But I prefer toilet paper”



  • Just stay away from nvidia on Linux and you are golden.

    I’m sorry but this is the kind of condescending bullshit that pushes me away from Linux

    I got a 3070TI for half off MSRP for open box in the middle of the crypto bubble, and I’m not buying another GPU until I absolutely have to.

    You want more people to embrace Linux? Make it work on startup without jumping through a bunch of hoops, on the hardware we already own.

    Your lived experience with Windows is yours, and I’m glad you have a system that works for you. I don’t have the time or mental energy to learn, not just a new OS, but also all of the bugs that go with it.

    Look, I get it. I’m putting my apprentice in my old work van, and as I’m looking at the old heap I’m remembering all the little quirks it has that I’ve developed blind spots for. Blind spots they don’t have. Quirks that are actually problems. I know there are problems with windows that I ignore because I know how to work around them. I know the workarounds because I’ve been using Windows since 3.11. I didn’t have that experience with Linux, and neither does my wife. A woman who once nearly bricked our computer falling for an Indian call center scam.

    When this rig bites the dust, I’ll probably build a Linux gaming box and just tell her to get used to the OS. For now, we’re using Windows

    Also HP is shit and I’d gladly put any HP exec in the hospital if I met them


  • That would be me.

    Tried Ubuntu 15 years ago, but couldn’t because Nvidia driver issues, and haven’t tried again

    Look, dudes, I’m bootstrapping a small business while trying to manage ADHD. I can barely get two hours of admin work done in an eight hour day. I just need things to work. I’d love to walk away from Windows but I don’t have the mental bandwidth for that shit

    And even if I did, my wife and I share a gaming computer/media center. There’s nothing like having her call me in the middle of a workday because my VPN is keeping her from logging into PBS so that she can watch Grantchester. Imagine the headaches if I installed a new OS.

    Much like improving my physical fitness, I have the desire, but not the will


  • "I took out a grenade. He [his comrade] said, “Let’s do it.” We hugged each other, threw it on the ground and said some last warm words to each other. The comrade also has a leg wound.

    It sounds like they were standing, dropped the grenade at their feet, and were hugging each other. The hug would possibly reduce some damage to center mass, and it sounds like both have injuries to the legs. If the grenade rolled away that would increase survivability. It also sounds like the interviewee took the brunt of the damage.

    But don’t listen to me, the closest I’ve come to a grenade is a Chipotle burrito with bad arvo

    So i know this is just a joke, but I imagine the simulation limits one’s options to those present in the room. If she wants to send someone more likely to survive, like Data, there would be a roadblock:

    • Not enough time to get there from the bridge
    • Site to site transporter is down
    • Spot ate Data’s communicator badge
    • Data is commanding the saucer section in another sector
    • Data is on Risa hooking up with Sela

    Something limits the options to those in the room. Georgi is the most qualified, and time is short
