It’s a joke.  I’ll direct you to the comments in this recent cross-posted lifehacker post.  Don’t bother with the article, just jump to the top comment and enjoy the next hour: https://lifehacker.com/use-this-method-from-a-former-nasa-engineer-to-defog-yo-1845817132

That be the drone.

In fairness to Saudi Arabia, women have been allowed to drive for a little while now.

That said, Saudi Arabia still sucks so hard for many other reasons.

Don’t blame the plow guy; I know a few guys who run plows for the DOT, and they’re saints. When everyone else is hiding from the storm, they’re headed straight into it in very old trucks. Plowing is an art, and the good plow guys take it super seriously.

Plow guy’s just doing his job and can’t know if the car is newly off the road with a person inside, or abandoned there hours before. It was midnight in heavy snow; he might not have even seen the vehicle.

That requires one to have a new idler pulley. It was swapped when the new one arrived.

As a Hipster, after the snow plow passed I would get down off my Penny-Farthing and walk home.

Depending on the time of the growing season, it may not have been possible to risk taking the truck out of commission for even a day. The farmers who live across the street from my brother keep older machines around in case one of their main tractors breaks down during planting or harvesting season. The crops dictate…

Long enough and loud enough to annoy and wake up my wife. 

I saw it more of a gotta get to work now, we’ll get to that when we can get parts.

Not knowing enough, how long would someone be able to lay on the horn? 10 hours? Would the snow muffle it enough that nobody could hear?

Depending on the specific vehicle, they’re pretty drivable without one in a pinch. One of our farm trucks locked up an idler pulley at a time we couldn’t be without it so we just charged it every night and got beefier muscles without the power assists.

Open the opposite door, that does not work break the window, crawl out. Snow plow snow is dense, rest of it is pretty light and fluffy until it packs down. Key point in this whole thing is how able this guy was to do it. Spatial awareness also. If that picture is actually correct he could have gotten out and walked to…

Probably wouldn’t have all of these issues with a lifted big boy truck.

My kid brother is so scared of flying that he rode the hound from Denver to Portland, ME. Three days, similar issues with food and stops. He described it as a cross section of American Mental Illness on wheels.

Greyhound from Livingston, Alabama to Birmingham in 1977.  A normal 2-hour ride by private car, compared to 5 hours by bus back then, when the bus stopped at every little community along the way.  And there was the obligatory 6-year-old brat (I think there is at least one on every form of public transportation) who…

You were not on a train. You were on a plane. A most wretched 14 hour All Nippon Airlines flight in 1993. I know you were there because you described it so perfectly that you must have been there. Wedged into that tiny little seat that smiles and whispers “Fuck you, tall American.” Yeah, you were there. Or maybe none…

User name checks. I apologise if you were being sarchastic and I missed it, but how do you know enough about automotive air conditioning (or anything that utilizes a basic refrigeration cycle) to know the underhood heat exchanger is called the condenser and not know there is a matching heat exchanger, called an…

Not every car does this automatically, I thought they all did this too, but the last post on this subject I learned there are some cars like a Toyota Corolla that don’t because they care more about the .00001mpg savings than the safety of being able to see out your window.

Every single car does this automatically. It’s how defroster settings work.
