You have to go faster to get on top of the snow. Like a speedboat. Especially in a rear wheel drive vehicle. I recommend the Dodge Viper

(/jk, in case it wasn't obvious)

All jokes aside, there's a vast difference between driving slower in inclement weather and doing 10 mph in a 40, as the top commenter suggested. Now, was my original comment a bit of a shitpost? A little tongue-in-cheek? Sure!

At the end of the day, we just want to get home safe. But if conditions are bad enough to be doing 1/4 of the speed limit just to be safe? Stay home. People that drive that too slow in the snow are just as dangerous as those that drive too fast. And it's not just ability, but equipment as well

I'm not out there tailgating people and passing, but I'm sure as hell wishing they'd piss off back home and let those that know how to drive get where they're going

I don't care what you think, and I'll die on this ditch.

HILL! This… damnit

So you're the dickweed out on the roads doing 10 mph in the snow.

Stay home

Some of us know how to drive in the snow

(Slow on ice is acceptable, but if it's an ice storm, stay home anyway. No reason to wind up in a ditch because you wanted Twinkies)

Sometimes I'm scrolling and my thumb gets lazy and goes sideways and I upvote or downvote things unintentionally.

It's the only explanation that makes sense

Ya it's in the name. Google is synonymous with tracking and lack of privacy. Just another bit we give up to live in the most advanced and free country in the civilized world, governed by ~~it's~~ its citizens and not a conglomerate of corporate overlords selling our minds by inches.

Yup.

Ah, I see you also have ~~that's~~ Gboard

(I literally swiped "~~ghosts~~ Gboard" twice to get the ~~advice~~ above. Oh look, it happened again)

Just stay away from nvidia on Linux and you are golden.

I'm sorry but this is the kind of condescending bullshit that pushes me away from Linux

I got a 3070TI for half off MSRP for open box in the middle of the crypto bubble, and I'm not buying another GPU until I absolutely have to.

You want more people to embrace Linux? Make it work on startup without jumping through a bunch of hoops, on the hardware we already own.

Your lived experience with Windows is yours, and I'm glad you have a system that works for you. I don't have the time or mental energy to learn, not just a new OS, but also all of the bugs that go with it.

Look, I get it. I'm putting my apprentice in my old work van, and as I'm looking at the old heap I'm remembering all the little quirks it has that I've developed blind spots for. Blind spots they don't have. Quirks that are actually problems. I know there are problems with windows that I ignore because I know how to work around them. I know the workarounds because I've been using Windows since 3.11. I didn't have that experience with Linux, and neither does my wife. A woman who once nearly bricked our computer falling for an Indian call center scam.

When this rig bites the dust, I'll probably build a Linux gaming box and just tell her to get used to the OS. For now, we're using Windows

Also HP is shit and I'd gladly put any HP exec in the hospital if I met them
