Because those have nothing to do with each other. You can also drown in your bathtub. That doesn’t mean water falling from the sky is an instant drowning. Quantity, method of exposure and context matter a lot when gauging how dangerous something can be.
ICE exhaust is poisonous, it’s significantly less poisonous when diluted by a large chunk of atmosphere. How much so isn’t a simple question, and it becomes much harder for the average person when it’s health effects are delayed for years to decades and those effects often have comorbidities with other risky behavior.

Fallout New Vegas, had me fantasizing for weeks about being a desert cowboy. My wife and I finally went to Vegas and we visited a bunch of spots from the game. We played FNV all week together and then we went up the strat tower to get a birds eye view of the city. It was a really fun experience.

Not terribly surprised, new platform that’s still teething. I’ve said it before but we will go through multiple growth and contraction waves if we all care to stick around long enough.
Personally I’m liking the smaller community so far. Definitely could use some growth, but more people comes with a lot of problems reddit has.
Somewhat expected, probably will be multiple waves of people joining with small declines in the months immediately after. Some of those less engaged individuals will come back too, and some of each wave will stay. I stayed from this last wave of reddit users. I’ve been using three lemmy accounts and my Mastodon since the incident. I intend to keep doing it, it’s been a lot fun.
Just be clear you are an option for help if needed, other than that be nice and don’t over worry. People with limited mobility like to run their own lives, just the same as we all do. It sounds like you’ve been a pleasant neighbor, keep it up and continue shoveling if you want. Snow is usually considered fair game for anyone willing, and people almost always appreciate its removal. If you don’t want pay, say it’s not something you accept for snow removal. Pretty normal for people who grew up in snowy cities to volunteer some shoveling time. If they ask you to stop, you should heed their request.
