Indeed. It separates all drivers into two categories. They either behave as there wasn't snow at all, or they behave as if they have never seen snow before. The first ones are a danger to all others, and the second ones are additional estates in the middle of the road.Borg said:
And some of the newer cars are so optimized for fuel economy that there is not even room to mount snow tires!fresh_42 said:
)I was behind someone on the freeway once when a single snowflake hit their windshield. The person practically slammed on the brakes. It had just started to snow but the road was still absolutely dry.fresh_42 said:
I'm out of the game. I was listening to the radio today and they announced that they would play it, and I rushed to change the channel before the song started. I did not make it. I only lasted 8 days this year.DennisN said:

I never figured it out. However, I once said to someone: "Do you know why I dare to ask you a favor? It is because I know that you say 'no' if you don't like it."

Who's this you're referring to? I have had companies ask, by email , even almost demand, that I participate in reviewing them. I flat out ask if they will pay me for the review ( not implying I will necessarily give them a good review), as it is of value to them. I get either no reply or even generic replies along the lines of " you haven't yet filled our review!" .kyphysics said:
Exactly!fresh_42 said:
No, this was a furniture mover.WWGD said:
I just say "oh, I see". I don't feel I'm committing myself to anything. If they push, you could just say "definitely not going to leave a positive review if you keep going on at me".kyphysics said:
I remember an episode of a tv show to the effect of that. In some cultures it is seen as rude to make a request others will feel uncomfortable refusing.kyphysics said:
If it is by phone, just feign a foreign accent/language and pretend you don't understand. Or start stuttering really badly in response. Edit:Or start bringing up really far out conspiracy theories.Ibix said:
There is a common "cheese" from the middle east (iirc) called lebnah, which is basically yoghurt that is thickened to the consistency of cream cheese.WWGD said:
It's a thin line, I guess. Just wonder , when they came up with cottage cheese: how did they know when they were done. Without going into details, looks like undigested or semi-suggested food.valenumr said:
They knew what was in there! And it was neither grey nor green, so it would have probably been safe to test. I find it much harder to answer how they figured out which mushrooms were eatable.WWGD said:

Could be. I just never thought of it that way. I wonder why they don't allow snacks in matches, given the high use of energy, to replenish it. Edit: But it seems like a good idea for a diet. 2 weeks of intensive Chess and no carbs. Or at least eat them before 11 , when breakfast closes down ;).fresh_42 said:
