There is no safe driving on ice.
Let me repeat that just so that it is drilled into your heads.
THERE IS NO SAFE DRIVING ON ICE!!!
I live in a place where sometimes everything gets covered in a thick layer of ice due to rapidly changing temperatures and high wind speeds.
Here in Quebec they call it verglas (basically glaze ice) and is considered by some to be the single worst thing about living here.
This pic was actually taken not far from where I live.
Jesus christ… that ice looks like it SUCKS HARD!!!
Born and raised along mid- and south-Atlantic (i.e. Gulf). I share your sentiment.
I’ve cut my way to New York to escape the humid heat. If things go well, my home port in half a year will be near Seattle.
Damn good PSA, thank you.
I burned my thumb with my flat iron, then a short while later I accidentally spilled hot-ass water on the same thumb.
Seattle is mostly temperate but we do see some bad snow here on occasion (for Seattle). One year, we saw nearly two feet of snow and it shut everything down. Then another storm (in the previous year), we had six inches of solid ice. And in a city that has hills taking the streets with an average 10-19% slope, with some going all the way up to 26% slopes, it gets mighty tricky to navigate.
Imagine trying to go up or down this hill (Roy St), covered in ice.

Seriously? That’s the hill you choose? We have much worse here in my area, and I have driven them in snowy conditions in a rear wheel drive car (not icy, I don’t drive when it is icy out).
There’s worse where I live in terms of hills. The Blue Ridge mountains are not far from where I live, about an hour’s drive.
That said I’ve never had to drive through ice on a steep incline like that.
Ford Focus’s suck at driving up mildly icy hills btw. Way back when we had one, it had to get towed up the hill to go get sold for a truck.
Remember, some of these kinds of hills exist in the downtown core. It’s fun trying to stop sliding down the hill towards a bunch of cars on the level streets! 
:retard: 
O_o :o D:
^ Well you feel you’re about to hit a car in those conditions and you start yelling “OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!” in the middle of your vehicle…
Stupid fucking headset fucking bullshit shitty fuck fuck
The worst part is that it’s a friggin’ great headset, at least by my standards. The most expensive audio device I’ve ever bought, and of immeasurably greater quality than this logitech crap, and of course it doesn’t work. My father and I spent two full days looking for something I could use that was affordable and fucking worked, and we headed back to the electronics store and tried multiple different options. We were so sure this was going to work, and it gave the best illusions that it did work, but NOPE.
Fuck everything.
Creation Kit just delights in invalidating all the work I’ve done. For some goddamned reason, none of the scripts in the mod I spent yesterday and part of last weekend building were receiving the OnItemAdded event, which they absolutely should have been receiving. That’s a script event that fires whenever an item gets added to a container of some sort in-game.
Nothing I would fucking try would get the event to be received. So I opened up a fresh plugin and tried hooking up the event there, and it jest werkd. Just a stupid-ass Creation Kit bug, brought to you by Bethesda, the king of goddamn stupid-ass bugs. Fine. Fuck you. I’ll rebuild the whole plugin from scratch.
So I spent fifteen minutes replicating some of my very basic work in the new plugin, just enough so that I could fire up the game and make sure that that fucking schlong-gobbling event was going to send like it’s fucking supposed to, and I go to save the plugin, and Creation Kit crashes to desktop, losing all of my work a second time.

COCK-GARGLING CUNT DEFILER
SISTER-DIDDLING INVALID INGRATE
I was invited to a party yesterday, but then I fell asleep during the day and slept for sixteen hours and missed it.
Although at least the reason I did that was because of exhaustion from the other two parties I was at the days before.
A Skyrim mod with schlong gobbling events, atleast you could TRY to make something original?
I see what you did there.
So, one of my roommates left for the weekend, but left his alarm set.
His door is locked, and the alarm is really loud and annoying. It’ll turn off in about an hour, judging by yesterday, but until then nobody’s getting any extra sleep.
Did I mention this isn’t the first time he’s done this?
If it’s a clock radio alarm or an alarm that’s plugged into an outlet, you could try turning the power off to the room. And leave it off until after he comes back. When he complains about not having power to the room, then you can explain what happened. 
That was what we were planning to do yesterday, but then it turned off on it’s own.
Would have done it sooner than that, but none of the breakers are labeled in this apartment, so it’d have to have been trial and error until we got the right one.
Hm… Actually, maybe it would be a good idea to do that anyway, just so see what breaker powers what so we can label it ourselves.
As a cooler-headed aside, I think people are actually going to like this mod. It remembers the last few items you picked up and allows you to quickly decide whether to drop or keep them by tapping hotkeys. So, if you accidentally pick up a linen wrap while you’re going for a soul gem, you don’t have open your inventory to find it and drop it; you can just tap a hotkey to instantly regurgitate it.
Basically a soothing balm for this problem.
It can remember up to ten items, so you could also use it to move a bunch of items around your house. Slurp 'em up, walk across the room, and spit 'em back out.
Updated. Pays to give credit where its due.
