Lol USPS isn't okay anywhere.

Put kitty litter in the back for weight and traction under the tires if you do get stuck. Get a below 0 wiper fluid or additive so you don't freeze up your windshield washing salt off. And wash your car when you get back so the salt doesn't start to rust it!

No. Not racist, just oblivious. And oblivious is not synonymous with stupidity.

There are a lot of experiences a white guy will be very unlikely to experience that minorities or women do. It’s really eye opening to learn.

Beaver Pond. Where the mosquitoes are the size of beavers.

I have a front wheel drive minivan with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires. These are all season tires that are snow rated. This is the second year I have had them on and I have not hade any problems driving in the snow. I'm out in the country a bit, down a hilly half mile dirt private road, I have never gotten stuck. They seem just as good as the Blizzaks I had previously and I don't have to pay to have them swapped twice a year.

Shhh. We don't speak sense here.

How no one mentioned Pho Hong is beyond me. Always slammed yet get food out quickly. Everything's delicious. Great family run establishment.

Exposure to asbestos can take decades to catch up with you — and you dont need much exposure for bad things to happen. There is good reason to EVER knowjngly expose yourself to asbestos.

Holy shit, someone who gets it

I love how a whole community is labeled racist because they didn't want to adopt this statement

The Williston office routes (mail and package sorting and route start/stop) are being relocated to pine St in Burlington, the current office will soon just have po boxes. It's also about dock and office space, there's been so many packages being backed up there and a general increase in volume so they are basically out of room inside too.

As I said, none of those changes to the logistical side of shipping, sorting, and transport affect any efficiency at the local office delivery level. The problem there is lack of staff.

Does your dinner get cooked when you aren't home? No, because there's no one there to cook it. Same reason mail isn't delivered on some routes some days, there no one there to run the route.

I’m in the Saint Albans/Swanton area. I find that I’ll miss a day every so often, but all my media mail packages arrive on time or even early about 90% of the time.

My guess is the opening statement here:

" Highlight the fact that we as Vermonters are not fully aware of the systemic racism that is present in our majority “white” society "

That is pretty much calling all white people racists, and if you dont think you are then you are just too stupid to see it. Gee i wonder why people are a bit miffed,lol.

Reason and facts that don’t agree with the narrative = downvotes. Simple equation friend.

Yup. I live north of smuggs….a whole town of twenty something’s who don’t want to work.

I didn't say anything about DeJoy, I asked about efficiency. I'm about fixing the problem, not assigning blame.

Life long Vermonter here, I just put my feet out the bottom of the car, Flintstone style

I have a 2009 civic with studded tires. The major limitation is the ground clearance. But I live on the side of a mountain at 1800' (we get a lot of snow) and I can almost always make it up our insane driveway (which is coincidentally a great sledding hill). A civic with good tires will get you most places but its no match for my hubby's Tacoma in 4WD (obviously)

If you break traction while using your transmission as a brake, it takes a lot longer to regain traction than if the wheels lock up from braking too hard. Unless you drive a manual, like yourself, but barely anyone does these days.

Pump the brakes and don't shift down.

> To my knowledge it was just that one 2.5 liter 4 cyl that had HG issues.

Yes, it was primarily an EJ253 issue (they used shitty gaskets, the design itself was fine), but Subaru put that engine in every car they sold for quite a few years. That being said, you just roll the head gasket replacement into the timing belt service and it's not the end of the world. I had an '06 Impreza wagon for years and it was a great car.

Pumping anti-lock brakes is not necessary.

It has been a really weak winter, but it seems like mother nature might be trying to catch up

In the Burlington area? We get like 5 storms per year. I don’t even put on snow tires and just don’t drive on the 5 days there is snow on the ground.

Other parts of the state get a LOT more snow.

You are fine with your Civic with snows.
