  • 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.






  • I mean that’s still spending time outside. If parasols and big hats weren’t so thoroughly OUT fashion-wise where I live I’d absolutely rock one of those. The cooling effect looks really nice.

    Well, that and my gigantic head doesn’t work with the vast majority of hats.

    But yeah being in the shade barely counts as protection against UV radiation anyway. If you understand the science, you do that to cool down and to see better more than you do it to avoid UV rays.
