Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 There's no olympics sticky on /sp/?
yeah, idk what's wrong with /sp/ today
there are 10 different dead threads
our mens team seemed like a lot of good players who had no experience playing together
shocking we were able to win
Pseudo poll: Which phijkchu can you most easily imagine reading their messages out loud?
for me it's Vinny, Pika, spooky, and garbanzo
Wdym reading out loud, like as we type them?
like imagine a voice line accompanying the message
Pirate, syren, polu
and myself but that's cheating
this pseudo poll mostly probably comes down to familiarity of talking to them
plus syren has a way of posting/talking
I slip into it the most with Mint and Mini
but most of the Phijkchu are pretty easy
idk if I normally read things in people's voices though
I don't remember what mint sounds like
polu has a very distinct voice in my head but I never imagine it when reading his messages for some reason
I can read pika polu and spooky messages in their voices for sure, maybe fire, and garbage
oh I see the conditioning is progressing well
Virginia/DC has once again been defeated by snow
We have some snow, but not enough for it to be worth noting
probably only like 5cm or something
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak probably only like 5cm or something
2 inches is still annoying in states where snow tires aren't legal
Its not going to melt here, since its dropping back to -17 this week
well leg, luckily plows will clear it instantly and everyone has snow tires here
I can understand it if there is literally never snow and it is not cold. Snow tires are not good for your car in those conditions
I feel like he meant "not legally required" though
Oh, I looked it up
its the studded tires that are illegal
actual normal snow tires are not Illegal
when I say snow tires, I mean cleated/studded tires
See, I would not realize that spooky, because thats not what I mean when I say snow tires
the "snow tires" you go to a mechanic and throw on are a regional thing
and are questionably useful
They are useful on ice. You will not get a perfect stop, but it does decrease how long you slide before stopping
if you are going down a hill
from what I've seen/know
studded tires obviously will give you the best results though, because that is just how the physics of it works
it's just more of a "these tires are not going to really change anyone's skill, driving in snow"
I think it is questionably useful if you are not expecting at least a dozen days during the season where every single road has ice on it. I think having everyone have them on does statistically lower accident rates under those conditions
