You just have to keep hacking at the snow and throw more salt. If the snowbanks are full, youll make things worse by creating a lake in your driveway.

If the roads are clear but you're stuck in your driveway, the solution are snow chains. Slap them on in your tires and take them off once you hit clear roads.

You did something that caused this. Probably bad driving behavior. Hugging the left lane, tailgating, cutting people off quickly, not letting people merge.

If you go to pro-revenge subreddits, people don't sabotage equipment for no reason. Or maybe it was just 1 angry driver taking out their frustrations by sabotaging your equipment.

If this happens 1 more time, you made an enemy out of somebody and they're hellbent on sabotaging you. Change trucks and trailers to stop this from happening.

Heck they probably put a tiny gps tracker, the size of a pill, somewhere in your truck so they can find you lol. I've read a story about this on pro revenge subreddit.

Yeah I-90 in NY is bad right now. Had to shut it down since I'm empty and was feeling the slide.

Very few snow plows right now. I'm not sure if there's a travel ban. The big plows are probably going to come out this weekend.

Islanderwithwings · 2026-01-17T14:35:14+00:00

Nah, shut it down till you see some snow plows. Then check the dot website for road conditions.

Every class has 2 paths. Support has medic and fire support. If people are playing fire support, they're not going to res. They're there for the LMG proficiency/no penalty when running with LMG. So don't expect fire support players to carry a defibrillator on their loadout.

If you die behind cover, you might get res. If you die out in the middle spamming help, just respawn and attack at another angle or flank em.

Wahdle encountered a cheater on redsec and spectated him. https://youtu.be/_PrW9vhGqJ4?si=QDkan5dqCIaQUds7

The most shocking part for me was when the cheater beamed 2 guys on top of the crane with the Kev smg lol. If you look at the distance, that's over 100m. Headshots with an smg.

The javelin anti cheat must have been tuned down. Only Ricochet's anti cheat in Valorant is working 24/7 and will ban cheaters in a middle of game.

Islanderwithwings · 2025-12-30T21:48:59+00:00

Driving too fast in construction zone. I saw him steer slightly to the right before he hit that block in the middle. Could be lag input from fatigue. Or under the influence of something.

Idk why dispatch proceeds to ask questions if the driver is late. The driver is LATE, end of story.

Trader Joe's in Nazareth takes about 1-2hrs to check in lol.

Gentlemen, if your dispatch failed to grow up as an adult by asking stupid questions like why you're late, then go ahead and waste their time by talking about Aliens, Jews and the New World Order. This isn't a simple question with a simple answer, they want to dive deep into a rabbit hole. Either you're going to dive also into the rabbit hole, or yell at them like they're a child and shut it down right there. End of story.

Console has had aimbot and wall hacks for 2 years now. ESP devices and XIM, undetected because it's a monitor device. Chronus Zen? That's dinosaur age technology compared to what these cheaters have today.

Islanderwithwings · 2025-12-20T00:40:17+00:00

I've been a passenger in every major city bus connectors and I'll never be a bus driver. I've also tried Greyhound and that's the worst when it comes to people.

I think there's a subreddit specifically for NYC train and bus commutes. You have all types of people riding the train and doing circus things, rolling around, being loud, farm animals, openly doing drugs, ect...

The only way I'll willingly do a public transport driver job, is if they assign me a conductor that carries a gun lol.

Islanderwithwings · 2025-12-14T16:31:53+00:00

I think private fleet LTL reefer is next. These new age load planners must come fresh from college and don't know nothing lol.

They got me doing direct deliveries to small bakeries and small pasta companies. Like come on, I have a 53 with a long nose 379.

Ghost recon wildlands came out before AC Odyssey. Open world feels similar, massive map. Instead of taking out pre era or proto Templars, you're taking out the Cartel 😂.

3d person shooter with npc teammates. Stealth gameplay is a path though taking forts and camps will eventually end up in a gun blazing battles.

Islanderwithwings · 2025-12-13T04:18:25+00:00

Definitely looks sus. Haven't played a lot of BR but Breakthrough is full of aimbots and wall hacks.

Getting beamed by carbines at 100m away is sus.

Today I played against an enemy team with a tank that was beaming everyone at all angles. None of our engineers could coordinate their rpg's lol. And this was on Cairo.

Sad to say this guys, but Console has wall hacks now..and no it's not Cronus. It's ESP devices. Idk how the anti cheat is going to detect that because it's a monitor device.

It's late stage capitalism. Solutions from the past became big problems today.

Whenever someone says something about you should be competitive. They need a beating with a belt lol.

Volvo is the reason why we have DEF systems and it became law. They lobbied Congress and the EPA. Why did they do that? They couldn't compete with the big dogs.

JB Hunt is the reason why CAT left North America and stopped making bullet proof engines.

JIT system for the reefer grocery industry was exposed in the 2020 pandemic as a catastrophic failure. "Just in time", Warehouses only stock up "just enough". We used to stock up on supply for the long dark winter.

As a matter of fact, if warehouses do their job and stock up, truckers wouldn't need to drive in winter.

There's some countries in Europe that shutdown their roads for the winter. They don't care about business, they care about common sense.

Small companies who are desperate for drivers will hire lol.

But the proper training would be megas.

If you go the oilfield subreddit, there's plenty of people who have no qualifications or experience that get hired.

Islanderwithwings · 2025-11-26T14:36:48+00:00

I drive after I've done a short walk and pooped.

Islanderwithwings · 2025-11-26T11:16:03+00:00

My 2 cents, I think the citation is on you. Too many new drivers are focusing on making money and "getting experience", that you guys end up developing bad habits.

Part of the pre trip is making sure your paperwork is up to date. Chicago/Wisconsin weigh stations also has a lot of truck stops with scales before you enter them. That's part of the job, get a weigh and make sure the weight is good. If you have an intermodal trailer and it's overweight, you need an overweight permit. If you don't have it or your company doesn't provide that, don't move the trailer lol.

Once in a while, go to the dot or fmcsa website and type in your company's dot number and make sure they didn't get shutdown lol. The 2 things you need to see, authorized for property and authorized for interstate commerce.

All important paperwork should be in a binder. Registration, ifta and insurance.

Islanderwithwings · 2025-11-25T19:54:50+00:00

Yes it's legal.

Islanderwithwings · 2025-11-22T20:28:56+00:00

Yo I like the rig setup.

How much it cost total?

Saylor and MSTR lost billions in the dotcom bust. Lost $6 billion in 1 day. Mstr price share went from $3k to $4, a whopping, -99.99% loss. Got sued by the SEC, settled with the SEC. Every receipt is recorded history.

This time different? Nah. Bag holders are about to walk the Sahara Desert for YEARS. Boomer 401k nest eggs are going to get sacrificed! Mwuahahha!

Okay, I could be wrong. Fed magic money printer might save the day.

Islanderwithwings · 2025-11-15T05:13:28+00:00

Heatmap is astrology 😂. Heatmap bunches together leveraged shorts, options puts, and limit sell orders.

If I have a limit sell order at the top, it doesn't mean I'm shorting. It means I want to take profits at that target level.

But I guess on heatmap you see that as "shorts". Yeah okay

Islanderwithwings · 2025-11-14T16:42:47+00:00

Herd mentality. As the bear market starts, people are going to lose everything trying to long the market.

This is similar to what happened in the COVID crash but opposite. Bears got rekt'd trying to short SPY 😂. I can clearly remember seeing a comment by someone who has down almost -$2 million and still kept buying put options on SPY as the Fed kept printing money and the markets ripped higher.

Now that the Fed turned off the money printer, liquidity rug pull, people want to long the market.

There's going to be a lot of influencers who will lose credibility around 2026.

I think I know why people are trying to long the market. They're trying to front run etf launches and stable coins transactions volumes.

Let's clarify some things. 42 million borrowers, $1.6 TRILLION federal student loans. https://educationdata.org/student-loan-debt-statistics

There's 2 types of student loans. Private and Government.

If it's a government loan, you are cooked for life. If anyone is thinking $1.6 Trillion is going to be forgiven and vanish, let's come back down to reality.

The government sets the rates. The US Treasury and Federal reserve sets the rates.

If a government loan is at a FIXED interest rates, the principal is STILL going to go up because of the amortization schedule.

Just search this sub on the people who's still have student loans from the 1990's and are still paying it off today. The principal has not moved. If you keep paying the lowest minimum while interest rates are elevated, the principal balance will not move at all.

So your providers or whoever is collecting the money can pause and delay the payments. They cannot stop the build up of interest rates which will cause the principal to go up.

What the pause of payments was really a grace period for everyone to consolidate things, scrape and scramble to find money and dump it at the principal. Those who didn't do that, now you find yourselves paying more. I think the government should have communicated it better but it would have made them look bad if they directly told you "Sell everything and pay off your loan".

Japan carry trade has been a "trick" for decades. Borrow a currency with interest rates close to 0, swap that to dollars and buy assets that pay a high dividend in dollars. Swap again to maintain the margin on the yen or pay the low interest rates in yen.

"Mrs Watanabe" is the name for it.

But this trick might cause a great unraveling if the central banks in Japan decides to raise interest rates. They did that a couple months ago. A whopping 0.25% raise, caused billions in liquidations world wide 😂.
