    IF you ordered something from me prior to yesterday, your package has been sent out (NA only so far). I'll send e-mails tomorrow.

      With continous pings for new replies, it's getting very hard to ignore this status update about ignoring a thread about Barbie.

      Everybody please stop replying to this topic! Don’t be like those dummies who reply to the mass emails at the office telling everyone to stop replying!

    Snow day used to mean building snow forts and playing with friends. Now it's shoveling for 4 hours, trying not to get a heart attack.

      ^ @x=usr(1536)  It's true!   Yet,  also,  Devil's Advocate,  A coworker pointed out that in the South (for example) they don't sell all weather tires,...And that most people's tires don't get any traction making things dangerous...Not sure how true that is though,  I mean don't tires have to have some tread for driving in the rain too?

      I don't mind driving in the snow. What I don't like is other people driving in the snow. ;)

      @GoldLeader: AFAIK, most people around here buy all-seasons, usually with a M+S (Mud + Snow) rating.  Thing is, that M+S rating is kinda the bare minimum necessary for a tyre to be considered anything other than dry-weather only.  If the tyre has the three-mountain-peaks-and-snowflake symbol on it, it's considered suitable for significant snow.  More info here.

       

      We get significant rain here at pretty much any time of the year, so most folks are running an all-season tyre even if they don't know it.  But as this state has about nine inches of elevation change in total and relatively light (sub-6" on average) snowfall, very few people have anything on their car to really handle any amount of snow.

       

      One thing I will say, though: at least the roads here are surfaced for weather.  When I lived in L.A., you could run any tyre you wanted and it wouldn't matter because the only weather conditions CalTrans seemingly took into account in SoCal were ones over 100°F.  It's hard to describe the feeling of driving on them in the wet, but it always felt like you were at 90% of the limit of traction.

      I started shaving my head 20 years ago.  I've done my own hair ever since.

      I waited too long to get my hair cut and now I can't get one because it's not essential.

      Mine too!  Free haircuts at home are the best.  Plus she cuts her own hair and the kids.  Major $ saved.

      That's awesome! I've been avoiding the Microvision due to the problems they have. Maybe that will motivation me to get one!

      For some reason it brings to mind an American Dad! joke where Stan is looking at pictures in Roger's attic and the last pic is of Stan looking at the pictures, and in it he's looking at the pics, so if ya pause it, it's an infinity joke...

      At least they are trying. If they can provide a dev kit and the api is intuitive and documented I'll make games for it. But if it's difficult program for no one will.
