Sounds like a really impressive dad. :)

Thanks! Hopefully my new tires are more resilient

Leftover powder on the road is a different beast. It's often mixed up with a little bit of sand, and it's been crushed into a powder that doesn't feel like natural snow at all. It doesn't stick and it slips like fine sand. Not a fun time. A little pile of 2-3 cm of the stuff was enough to almost make me completely lose control last year. Scary stuff.

People have tried to get me into Monster Hunter several times, with little success. There's just a lot of work involved.

Lots of crafting and farming, and once you're ready, the fight itself is a lot of work. It takes a long time due to large HP pools.

There are a zillion builds, and the story isn't exactly deep enough to engage me despite the shortcomings. To me, it's basically Elden Ring, but with the aspects I don't like turned to 11.

Hmm, i see.

I'll have a new bike with different winter tires this year but last year my bike would get dangerously destabilized by the smallest amount of leftover powder snow trail from the snow clearing machines, so I stayed well away from uncleared roads.

But for one, as you say, that was forgetting about how uncleared snow is not the same, and also, new tires this year.

I'll give it a try next time. It'll probably be safer to avoid the cars for a little bit longer anyway.

Aw, that's sad. :(

Depending on the internal design of the phone, maybe.

But batteries are rectangular and they can't put them EVERYWHERE. There are places (such as near the USB port) where you can't really put battery no matter what because there have to be things that would interfere with the rectangular battery.

So it might have an effect, but not necessarily, depending on design, and it might be smaller than you'd think.

I live in the city though. It could easily recommend I use the street if it knew that winter is a thing. And uh... Idk, maybe cycling through deep snow works on a fat bike, but with a normal bike with winter tires like mine, I can't just blast through 30+ cm of uncleared snow.

Often Google tries to have me cycle on a trail that has zero snow removal in the winter. So there's that.

Reviewers were really happy they swapped the optical one for an ultrasonic one on the latest Pixel.

Cheering because they gave us the slightly less bad version of something terrible.

No one asked for this, you dimwits!

It's a good image for transportation though. Pedestrians walking somewhere can absolutely get as tight as they do in a stadium.

My condolences for your father. That sounds like a lot of years to live through a really bad situation for everyone involved. :(

Thanks for the extra info on DNR. I think I understand now.
