When I see statements like that I always assume they include wind chill since it makes for a more click-baity feeling.

Despite Dems having never come after anyone or anyone’s family. You’d think a quick look back through the last few decades would be enough to show the absurdity of the current conservative argument, but here we are nonetheless.

If by “self” you mean the other half of the state population, especially minorities, then yes, Texans are self-hating.

Yeah I’m thinking anything they’re doing within earshot of my house where my child sleeps would get a Molotov cocktail every hour.

Only 10 years to go, and an 8 year old that will be 18 at the same time, so if I can bury my head in the sand and avoid the crazies for 10 short years I’ll be good to go, especially with this career that will allow me to functionally retire at 50.

Fair. He can do this all day.

We still haven’t lost a single leaf on the oak trees down here in the Houston area and it’s February.

Larry, Garry, Jerry...

I feel like that a lot here in South Texas. Every month of the year with the exception of February it’s pretty much 75-95F, partly cloudy, high humidity. There’s so little actual variation in weather in a given year here that it gets exceptionally boring and tiring, especially from May-October.

It’s just as tough, precise, athletic, and requires as much practice and preparation as any other sport.

It’s like anti-vaxers* directly sabotaged the effort, and then laughed about how it wasn’t successful.

Too little, too late. Also, fuck Blizzard.

There’s still a lot of people who are actively doing that, much less wanting to go “back” to it.

It will be missed, but it’s sacrifice is worth the cost.

I wonder how many other people on the road there narrowly avoided dying, much less took damage to their own vehicles.

The only difference between Russian and American dash cam videos is that there’s generally less snow on the ground. That’s about it.

I mean these people are generally psychotic by default.

That’s the point at which I typically slow down to about 2-3 mph under the speed limit by just slowly letting off the throttle. They typically then just go around. I used to think action like that would just make them even more mad, or incite road rage, but they’re already pissed so I doubt what I’m doing would be…

Yeah at the speed that plane was traveling, proximity to ground crew and visibility-lowering weather it’s amazing that a human or two wasn’t sucked into E1.
