Since there is a known racial gap related to access to the internet, one could argue if that gap is closing and the rate of teens having sex in those populations is dropping then, perhaps access to porn is a factor.

Make for some wicked good street ice hockey, though.

Depending on how deep the powder is, the skis might only penetrate a few inches, while landing with your boots would penetrate up to a yard. So the decceleration would be more spread out.

True on flat ground, but on a slope you will continue traveling downward after landing, minimizing Delta v. People have landed jumps from well over 100 feet on skis.

The correct answer is to land on the person who just jumped before you.

You seem nice.

With a high enough pledge, they will put a pixel version of you in the book. I just did this and some weird dude with a camera dropped from the sky and took my picture. Fuzzy Pickles!

So, while this version technically came out after the home version, its important to note that the NES did not get a wide US release until late 1986. So, for people outside of NYC and LA, this could have been the first version they ever played- it was for me. I got my NES Christmas 1986 after the nationwide launch (I…

My Mazda 3 with Goodyear snows goes through pretty much everything no sliding or getting stuck.

Ain’t nobody need AWD. I’m saving her from the hype dungeon.

This x1000. I grew up in Portland. It snows and sticks maybe once every five years - everybody is just stressed because last year was awful. When it does snow, there aren’t enough plows to keep the roads going, and it’s so wet and heavy it often ices over.

this 100%, a coworker found a barn find of a 99 buick with only 1,100 miles on it for $500 maxed out on premium packages. he’s used it for a beater for 6 years without any issues. their fuel efficiency isn’t as great as new cars but the durability of the buicks is not to be understated.

No, there isn’t a matter of ground clearance. She is in Portland Oregon. She is more likely to drive in no snow this year, than 4 inches of snow. If the snow is deeper than an Aston Martin can handle the city will be shut down and there will be nowhere to drive to anyway.

Only an issue when there is more than 7 or 8" of snow on the road. How often is that? Basically never, for 97% of Americans.

Let’s not dismiss this theory here - I don’t know what her car is for the other three seasons but would a good set of snow tires help here? I am honestly amazed and what I can plow through with snow tires on my car and it’s rear drive.

Tires are where the rubber meets the road. Most accidents happen when you can’t stop. Riddle me this: when yer right foot is on the brakes and not the gas, does it matter what the drivetrain is? Nope.

I live in Duluth, MN (average yearly snowfall: 85"/yr; it’s also situated on the side of a hill and has loads of streets w/ a grade above 20%) and no one ever uses chains. I also lived north of Portland (Oly) for a couple years and “winter” (which is really just the rainy season) driving was babytown frolics. I guess…

I like the cut of your jib. People seem to forget that winter tires are a cheaper and better solution than AWD and all-seasons...

I live in Portland, and if it is bad enough, everything shuts down but if you need to get around and it is bad enough, put chains on.

Portland gets three inches of snow/year on average. People need help with that kind of brain-bender? Save your cash and take a Lyft the 1-2 times a year it snows 1-2 inches, problem solved.
