Hoodwinker posted:Sure but almost all places that do are a lot cheaper than the super nice places that it doesn't. Well if you throw in a "super nice" qualifier then it gets a little tougher. How do you feel about turquoise and bolo ties?

If you don't have a hard ground freeze, you get way more insects in the spring.

Dik Hz posted:Ditto. It's not like you can drive normally on ice or snow with snow tires. You still have to know how to drive on ice and snow. And you can do that just fine with all-weather tires if you know what you're doing. All-weather tires are going to be even more important since climate change means some temperate areas will have 70F Februaries and April snowstorms in the same year.

DaveSauce posted:Michigan.txt It seemed crazy to me that this would cost $3k to fix but, I guess replacing the seat air bags is extremely complicated: https://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/general-technical-chat/410210-drivers-side-seat-airbag-deployed.html TIL: you have to reflash the car's memory if an airbag goes off, plus if you install a new airbag that hasn't been coded to match your car's VIN, it will probably go off immediately after you hook the battery back up

I had never been chased by a literal cloud of mosquitoes until I visited northern Canada one summer. (On topic to the thread, basic goods are so much more expensive there that living there is definitely BWM. Like Hawaii but worse.)

Did any of you guys ever play Ultima 7 back in the day? I don't want to give away too much of the plot of a 25 year old RPG, but I suddenly realized it basically summarizes as "What if Amway were somehow even more evil than they already are?"
