We kids definitely used "ah va" to indicate you've done something bad and are gonna get in trouble in rural New Hampshire in the 1970s. Could still have originally come from the French, as the area had a lot of French names.

Yes last snowstorm some asshole in white pickup was riding my ass blinding me with his lights. When I could barely see a thing from the snow either. Scared

You start to loose traction going straight up the hill, so you step on the gas. Your tires are both spinning, but you don’t have equal traction on both sides (partly because of the differential in the transmission, partly just because the traction isn’t equal for whatever reason.) Unequal traction means one side of the car digs in, and the car starts rotating - then you’re accelerating, while pointed to one side - and you end up off in the woods.

Reply to comment by Fabulous_Engineer_79 in Solar and wind is ugly, Nuclear is the only other safe energy. When will it happen here? by drdanagram
Wind and solar have no risk??? Also made with toxic chemicals that leech into the environment. Killing far more wildlife than nuclear and taking up far more landfill space. Doubled demand on lithium alongside EV cars. Ever see what a lithium mine looks like? We're already looking at 720 tons of unrecyclable wind trash, the solar panel craze is looking double maybe even triple electronics trash. That stuff isn't environmentally friendly lol

Unless you have bad diarrhea or need to go to a hospital right the fuck at that very moment, you shouldn't be bitching about snow falling and the roads being fine and people doing 20 under. C'mon now.

That might have been the year I tried 3 different ways to go home after work. I finally gave up and went to my mother’s house where there were no hills. My commute was usually an hour, but that night it was way over that.

This happened to me tonight, slick roads, going 10 under, dude passes me on a slippery hill going downhill. Lucky he didn’t hit me or go off the road. Drives me nuts.

Pretty sure you’ll need legal tender bub. Save some of that 420 money and you’ll get there!

PSA: use them even if you have a 4×4. Four-wheel drive only helps you go. Winter tires help you go, too, but will also help you stop and turn, which are pretty darned important.
Any traction system on your car will only perform as good as the rubber on your tires allows it to.

Perhaps. But sometimes the sign may say “45mph winter advisory” or whatever hours before precipitation while the roads are still dry. Only an absolute dipshit would poke along I-95 at 45 mph on dry roads and be like “well the sign says.. it’s tHe LAw!”

Greenville day trip-the view from Charleston Hill heading towards Dover is gorgeous, and there is a good bakery in Dover, too. Stop in Monson, or is it Abbott, at the General store-the Libra Foundation underwrote some projects in town-Monson is interesting bc of the slate cutting and the AT crosses on the way to Kathadin-Day trip to Dexter to shop at Reny’s and get Dunkin-maybe go to a Red Devils basketball game…

Reply to comment by vikingenvy in Wind and Solar make energy cost more. Why? by drdanagram
It's partly a test. I developed a system to catch trolls online.
It's a metric system of intent and perception.
Take a look:

Take a look through the comments, there are rational responses that align with what you say is misinformation. Likely the information is perfectly correct, but infers that correlation is causation without more complex analysis.
If you can find enough coincidental causes, you have a viable theory.
