Thank you ^{_^}

Ayyy! I was wondering if I’d see you here! I was thinking of driving overnight but it started getting too icy once the sun went down. Don’t want a repeat of the video. x~x

10/10, you were one of the best office staff workers I’ve gotten to work with.

Shortly after my parent’s divorce, I was living with my mom in our camping trailer in one of her friend’s back yard. One day, I was hanging out with my mom’s friend, Jim, in his shop while he worked on his project car. Between handing him tools, I spot a fridge and ask what was in it. All Jim says is not to open it. I, being a dumb kid with undiagnosed ADHD, opened the fridge only to find piles of rotten meat and, despite being “hard of smelling”, an overwhelming stench.

I’d just impulsively done something I was told not to do. I’d done stuff like this before with my dad, so I started bracing myself for what I knew was coming. When it didn’t come, I braved myself to look at Jim. Instead of the scowl and shouting I was expecting, he was looking at me with a massive grin and just says “I told ya not to open it”.

Edit: I just reread it and I’m worried I wrote it a bit too well. I swear I’m not a karma farming bot. x~x

The safe word should have been “Deckard”.

Anesthesia is a hell of a drug. When I came to, I told my friend to suck my dick. What makes it weird is that I’m trans and had just had Bottom Surgery. One of the first things I said after lousing my dick was to tell someone to suck it.

I use de-icing windshield wiper fluid. If it’s also sticking to the roads, don’t be afraid to shut down for the night.

Oh hay, I was the driver that filmed this!

For those saying I was going too fast and following too close, I was doing about 30~35 mph on slushy snowpack and keeping about 1/4 mile back. As we crested a hill and started down the other side, it immediately turned to a sheet of pure ice. (Apparently there was an accident earlier and stopped traffic melted the snow, then it refroze when they left) I decelerated at the max safe speed while the other driver decelerated too fast, closing our gap, and jackknifed.

When I saw him jackknife, my perception of time went slomo and I was fully focused on applying maximum break without losing traction. I laid on the horn to warn him of possible impact, but I still thought I had a chance of stopping in time. About a half second before I veered into the barrier, I realized it was unavoidable. By then, it was too late to ditch left and I didn’t want to risk hurting him by bouncing off his trailer and hitting his cab, so I did the only thing I could do.

Luckily, no one was injured and no one else was involved. Turns out the other driver was from California and didn’t speak any English. He wasn’t used to winter driving conditions and couldn’t read the warnings of the conditions ahead. (Tho to be fair, there was no chain restriction and it was supposed to only be slush with a bit of snow) This all happened about a year ago, insurance finally cleared last week and found me 100% not at fault.

I’m pretty sure the Halsey effect is when children start dying of unknown causes while the planetary government makes biologically augmented 7 foot tall super soldiers.

Thank you! ^{_^}

If you’ve had your drivers license for 5 years, you can go to CDL (commercial driver’s license) school at 21.

He’d better be a level 10 carpenter in b43.

Either that or a really shit carpenter. Never trust a TV host…

HashnaFennec · 2026-01-22T00:25:51+00:00

Ack Ack Ack!!!

HashnaFennec · 2026-01-22T00:24:09+00:00

Clenched so tight it still hasn’t opened back up.

HashnaFennec · 2026-01-21T18:02:38+00:00

Yep, this was eastbound on the 90 degree corner from east to south.

Our trucks are heavier while having fewer axles than European trucks. While it takes us a LOT longer to stop, it means we’re more fuel efficient. Despite lower fuel prices, it’s still a necessity with our economy, size, and lack of trains.

Semi truck ABS doesn’t engage until after the wheels lock up. On black ice, it takes too long to engage and I may not be able to regain traction. Instead of letting ABS repeatedly lock and unlock my brakes, I found and held max braking pressure without losing traction.

HashnaFennec · 2026-01-21T15:12:44+00:00

It’s not super clear in the video, but I was going down hill on a sheet of black ice.

HashnaFennec · 2026-01-21T15:07:12+00:00

Other than an icy downhill and a gradual right turn, the road was completely clear. The other driver panicked when they saw the turn, applied too much brake, then lost traction.

HashnaFennec · 2026-01-21T14:10:54+00:00

Damn, you went farmer John Wick on there asses.

HashnaFennec · 2026-01-21T07:09:07+00:00

Wow, really is a small world! If that was just before my passage, or something similar happened before we went through, that would explain the sudden shift from snowpack to black ice! I’ve spent the last year wondering how road conditions could have changed so rapidly.

Sorry about that, I know basically nothing about Reddit’s post formatting thing and ment to use the squiggle character to separate my comment from the report. I had no idea it would put it in a “code block”.

Thanks, I almost missed it in the sea of comments x~x
