If it holds long enough to get me unstuck from a rut, then it would still be worth it to me

And don’t take your foot off the accelerator. You need power to pull yourself through.

They make these things that are basically long zip ties with nubs on them that you can strap to your tires. They are supposed to give you traction in a pinch. A bit late for this storm, but it wouldn’t be bad to have in your trunk for an emergency. I haven’t tried them myself I admit, but it has to be better than nothing.

• turn off traction control

In some cars to turn off the traction control and ABS, you have to push and hold the button on the dash (usually depicted with a wheel and two squiggly lines). You will know it is off if the ABS and/or TCS alert lights appear on the dashboard.

I forget what they are called, but there is basically a parachute on a rope that gets dropped into fast deep water currents to tow boats.

Or the Holy Trinity of Cajun and creole cooking, celery, onions, and bell pepper.

Falling in love is not a choice. Staying in love is a choice.

Check out an app called Karrot. It’s basically craigslist but you periodically have to confirm your location, so you know all items are local. It also has a shockingly accurate photo identification and pricing feature.

It simply doesn’t matter. Her supporters don’t care that she lies because “all politicians lie”.

The chemical most places use for drycleaning is perchloroethylene, or perc, which can contaminate groundwater if not stored or disposed of properly.

I used to operate a drill rig for taking soil and water samples. I learned to read all the utility markings and to spot the telltale markings of previous drill work. I can walk around an urban area and tell you where all the gas stations and drycleaners used to be just based on a look at the pavement. In that sense I can “see” things others can’t.

Plants only absorb CO² and release oxygen when photosynthesizing, which requires sunlight. At night plants undergo cellular respiration where they absorb oxygen and release CO². Some sealed terrariums haven’t had any water, air, or fertilizer for decades.

I work at a highrise full of old rich people and my side gig is googling solutions to their tech problems. Things like unzooming their iPad, turning the child lock off on their dishwasher, or telling them their power strip is plugged into itself. They are more than happy to throw $40-50 at me for 5 minutes time that saves them hours of frustration or an expensive repair visit.

The version of Sugar High used in Empire Records with a female vocalist.

Oh come on. You cease starting fires. It’s right there in the name!

Maybe a dumb suggestion, but physically switch the positive and negative wires on the motors?

I guess it’s a good thing most of my favorite punk bands broke up or no longer tour.

She’s 22. She could have a 3+ year old OnlyFans page. The constant infantalization of her at this point only diminishes her dedication to worthy causes.
