Driving on the freeways, which are cleared quickly in the winter, isn't really any different than other seasons. There are plenty of cross country routes that use highways which aren't cleared as quickly, especially in hilly or mountainous areas, that can be fun to take for scenic routes.

Not everyone who travels across the country sticks to interstates.

Exactly. In order to promise to “fix the government” you need to lie to them and claim the government is broken, first. That’s where liars have a leg up.

Well, there are some broken parts of the government thst do need fixing. The courts don't have a way to enforce rulings. Laws that limit executive overreach don't have an enforcement mechanism. Too much power is concentrated in the oval office.

It is broken, but not because of spending or any of the stuff Republicans claim to be broken. It is broken because it allows for their shenanigans.

Dems could have run on fixing the actual flaws in the system that are allowing this coup, but they chose to appeal to moderates instead. In the future they could run on fixing the flaws, but would need to follow through when they have the ability.

Having it all in one instance so people who don't like it are able to block it at the instance level is pretty awesome.

I like it.

Do you make money while traveling, or did you change to a low cost lifestyle and are living off savings/investments?

All of what you said is spot on about a particular type of person who isn't malicious but does seem to forge a lot of shallow relationships and not really focusing on one, but I don't get the chameleon thing. Is it because they easily adapt to whatever setting they are in by changing how they act?

Yeah, I was going for the 'crossing difficult terrain challenge' part and probably should have said it was like hiking from your couch.

Seriously though, with the right kind of terrain and conditions driving is a real challenge. If you have never driven off road through fields in wet, snowy conditions where stopping is likely to mean being unable to start going again and needing to guage how fast to approach a slope to maintain momentum it might sound silly.

Anyone who has never driven on an unpaved road might find it funny. Like how anyone who has only ridden a bike on paved roads might not understand the fun of going mountain biking off a defined path might find that funny.

Offroading on a motorcycle is more fun than a four wheel car most of the time, but all of things can be fun.

Published code should have already been reviewed before it was published!

Who is going to read all these emails? Nobody, just like that supid code in last 30 days thing. It is a scare tactic for people who don't realize how stupid the request is.

He sure does seem to be running multiple agencies at the same time. Also, weekly accomplishments? Employees are already supervised, which is the process for verifying that they are doing their jobs. Just another example of how Musk doesn't know how anything works.

What a maroon.

Or baskets to carry a reasonable amount of groceries.

Just out of curiosity, do you have snow tires for bikes or are the paths cleared well enough not to worry about it?

Where I live we often get mixes of sleet and ice along with the snow and since it is sporadic throughout winter we do a pretty mediocre job of funding the removal. If we didn't have so many wide roads it probably wouldn't take as much effort.

If you happen to enjoy that kind of thing and aren't on a tight timeline it is fun as hell. Like a mechanical version of hiking.

Like hiking, most people don't enjoy it or aren't really up to the challenge.
