Why are people asking questions in a question asking forum? Why won't people just stay in their little SEO bubble and stop trying to have a soupçon of human interaction? I am so annoyed with this trend of reaching out to other people for consensus or understanding! I'd block this community, but I'd rather ask condescending questions instead

Every two and a half years solar energy efficiency will double

It's called Ohm's Law

Wait, people don't like that movie?

That's like not liking Tommy Boy. Or Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

You may or may not be aware of composer Aaron Copland. You've probably heard his work, or something inspired by it, at some point. In fact, if you remember the 90's (edit: in the US) you most certainly know one of his works, from the Rodeo suite. Specifically "Hoe-down". You just associate it with a particular food

Just past the 1 minute mark is where it gets real familiar

You have to go faster to get on top of the snow. Like a speedboat. Especially in a rear wheel drive vehicle. I recommend the Dodge Viper

(/jk, in case it wasn't obvious)

All jokes aside, there's a vast difference between driving slower in inclement weather and doing 10 mph in a 40, as the top commenter suggested. Now, was my original comment a bit of a shitpost? A little tongue-in-cheek? Sure!

At the end of the day, we just want to get home safe. But if conditions are bad enough to be doing 1/4 of the speed limit just to be safe? Stay home. People that drive that too slow in the snow are just as dangerous as those that drive too fast. And it's not just ability, but equipment as well

Too right. It was a gross oversimplification, thank you for building on it

It's like a record, but your dad doesn't get as mad when you throw it at your brother

If we were neighbors I'd let you borrow my (very well-worn) copy

So i have trouble visualizing things, particularly people, and especially faces. When i watch a show or movie i can register a face to a name, and that in turn let's me "see" them in my minds eye as I read.

The Expanse was just about perfect for that, i just had to mentally stretch Naomi to 2+meters tall, and things like that

If you haven't already, I invite you all to read the graphic novel

Here's the television studio scene as a taste:

 

A little into about me. I'm in my mid-forties, I live in Ohio, USA, and am on Medicaid. I suspect I have either ADD or ADHD but I can't get diagnostic testing covered by Medicaid. What can I do to get testing or treatment? There are lots of "in-network" providers, but every time I get the focus to try and make an appointment no one answers their phones, or they're not taking new patients, or they're not in network after all. I'm so so so tired
