I should have watched the video.  Was basing my comment on the gif, seeing one spin and then the other spin up to join it.  Thats how my 2500HD rear diff works, takes a second to get the 2nd tire spinning.  Could it be an LSD, but this dude is just pumping the gas pedal on/off?

This.  all of this.  VW guys get it.  Been putting snow tires on my VWs (well, all my cars) for 20 years now.

Wat. Snow tires are most certainly not over-rated. And there is almost no negative impact to dry performance; they are softer and stickier. The only downside is a minor mpg loss, and they wear faster.

Why don’t you just get some proper tires and not drive like a grandma, though? Fuckin sucks to have to constantly pass and blast around all you grannies. Actually j/k, I kinda enjoy it. Snow tires pay for themselves, just get some.

it’s just not something anyone would have seen coming

I agree.  Terrible choice by this young man , his family should accept it and move on.

I mean c’mon dude, don’t purport to be some objective individual and then post a citation-less assertion that’s easily debunkable.  UAH specializes in studying the temperature of the troposphere.  Good stuff, no doubt, but thats not the same as global surface temperature.  One of the top dudes at UAH was a favorite of…

This isn’t a basic water hydrant though, its snowmaking.  I see from quick internet searching, that to push water uphill with enough pressure at the top to make snow, ~400 psi in many systems.

Yeah.  I did google that fact before posting and saw about 1000-1200 psi to lacerate, and ski snowmaking systems running up to 400 psi.  SO doubtful.  But could tear your shitty snowpants apart and still not feel so great.

If you fell right onto the spray, it might be at high enough pressure to cut through your clothing and really hurt your skin.  Not a great plan lol.

At least walk along the damn road.  He went bushwhacking in the dark in a blizzard?  yikes.

Sure.  But it also sounds like they didn’t really do a proper search.

Good lord was that handled poorly. Where the FUCK was ski patrol to radio with the lift operators? Only one or a few chairs at most should have been pushed through the geyser. The stop/start operation just blasting more riders.... must have been absolutely horrific to await your turn, just knowing some 17 year stoner…

Not to mention the soot accumulation.  After a month of chinese freight trucks cruising through here, the LEDs will be barely visible.

Almost nailed godwin’s law.

First of all, what the fuck, no the arctic ice cover is not going to be record high.  Second, jesus christ man just use your brain a tiny bit.  The planet is clearly warming, the data is freely available.  Argue about why if you really need to to troll us, but pretending its not even happening is just so idiotic.

Thanks for confirming that you don’t want to engage in meaningful thought and discussion. Just sad tribalism, as expected.

Wha? Why would anyone ever want to cheat at a game like this, just to tweet your color blocks? Which inspires an entire blog post like this one? Civilization is doomed.

Things our corporate, profit-driven healthcare system is unwilling to do:

So also, we should deny hospital admission to anyone stupid enough to contract a breakthrough covid case while vaccinated too, right? What’s the moral or public health difference.
