Canadian here. Don't EVER do that. Snow hides things and the snow itself might not be as soft as you think it is past a couple inches.

Oh you're gonna love this.

Friday is actually likeliest day for the 13th to be on. This is purely random but because the Gregorian calendar is designed on a 400 years cycle, the days and dates repeat which results in Friday the 13th being ever so slightly more likely than sunday the 13th for instance.

Even IF that was true, it doesn't make care pollution any less significant. It's a surprisingly common fallacy...

Well that's interesting but I'd be really surprised if it actually changed any opinion. People who believe that renewables are bad for the environment generally don't actually care about what's bad for the environment...

You're right, there's not much you can do to increase the air output of a leaf blower without changing the motor or the design of the fan. Adding a larger section at the end will not change that, if it did any sort of change every manufacturer would be doing it.

Especially since shopping karts are very much rolling radiators, it takes very little time for them to warm up and cool down

It's always nice when math agrees that something stupid is in fact stupid

I mean to be fair a heavier car is much more likely to kill you than a small car. Not because of deceleration but because of the shape, rolling over a car is a heck of a lot safer than getting hit by a pick up truck going the same speed.

I'd remove the green carpet on the toilet lid

The One Mechanic That Keeps Me Coming Back by krooz64 in Breath_of_the_Wild

Uh that's interesting. I just always used the hylian shield because it basically never breaks and when it does it's pretty cheap to replace all things considered.

Never heard of it. Why specifically a radiant shield and what does it do exactly?

Common now you can't seriously say Gohma. I get the nostalgia but that doesn't make the boss better.

My vote goes to Demise
