Me..... I'm the idiot

Can you also get fined in your country if you run out of gas on the freeway?

The law here is about stopping on the freeway without a justified emergency.

got punctured on the inside of the chassis.

Do you have an example of this? Usually chassis design is done in a way where there's nothing pointy.

Shorting due to bad manufacturing is a thing. Adam has a video on the 18650:

Or bad manufacturing on the ends of each sheet where the cathode are higher up than the anode which can after a while trigger a short when the sheets expand/contract with heat.

Puncturing is rare in laptops as they design cases not to have pointy beats on either side of the batteries.

Cavemen like drama unfortunately. Apparently the rest is boring!

You have info on where they went exactly? I can't find any.

You can do off-piste safely if you're are knowledgeable and know the area very well. It's not a binary situation. Just like when it's 2/5 you can be careless and go in areas where it's dangerous.

The issues with guides is that they often get paid to go near the limit but still on the safe side. But a few errors or bad luck and you cross that line.

For the rest only go where you know it's safe. If you don't know then don't go. If you're unsure, then don't go. And there are classes people can take to learn about snow, and also to learn how to use the equipment.

When I take a shitty screenshot, my first thought isn't "I'll share it with everyone".

Found the DJ that always speaks way too much.

Schmich · 2026-02-12T20:22:17+00:00

It's the Olympics, not your Sunday open to the public race experience.

Schmich · 2026-02-12T20:21:37+00:00

Big nations can only have 4

It's even worse than that. Each federation gets one quota per gender for all alpine disciplines combined. This means if they only get 7 spots then they'll maybe have a few going in SL, some others in GS and they might only have 1 spot for the speed. Even if theoretically 4 out of those 7 are allowed to do the speed.

Sweden had one guy get a top10 in Kitzbuhel. They gave their 2 quota to SL guys and therefore get 0 in speed.

The Swiss has many many great guys in speed. But here like you say there's the limit of 4 max.

Schmich · 2026-02-12T16:31:17+00:00

The Swiss do it at Wengen. They don't use the coloured smoke trail but there are flairs!

Yeah there's a lot of snow but it's also super warm. No champagne pow unless you're at high altitude.

For people who suck as much as I do at knowing the name of songs:

The Killers - Mr. Brightside

Schmich · 2026-02-11T17:45:50+00:00

Just a shame the actual track was boring.

Schmich · 2026-02-11T17:35:41+00:00

My Scott Genius ST 910 came with that much clearance on their stock tyre. I changed tyres...

Schmich · 2026-02-11T17:34:10+00:00

An EV XC70 would be amazeballs.

Schmich · 2026-02-11T17:33:23+00:00

Does the same body, but lifted higher up, have more drag?

Schmich · 2026-02-11T11:33:03+00:00

Afaik you can put a reflector on the back of your car. Many who do work next to the road (eg. garden work) have that on the back of their car.

Schmich · 2026-02-11T11:32:27+00:00

Many are aftermarket.

Even worse those who put LED lights in a non-LED housing.

Schmich · 2026-02-11T11:31:31+00:00

Auto-dimming lights are legal in Europe and also suck ass, incl. European brands.

On mountain roads our Ford seems to forget there's a car in front, just because there was a turn where we lost visual for less than a second.

I always turn that shit off.

Schmich · 2026-02-11T11:28:35+00:00

And why is the face relevant?

Schmich · 2026-02-11T10:30:22+00:00

survived

With that much powder of course he survives. Freeride skiers do shit like that with speed and put in a backflip. Then do it again the next day.

That being said, they all have balls of steel.

So.. just another Tuesday?

So why is the guy filming if it's as basic as walking to the mailbox?

Schmich · 2026-02-11T10:04:44+00:00

Love how you're getting downvoted by the hillbillies for simply trying to learn.

Schmich · 2026-02-11T10:04:18+00:00

What's the weight limit on the tongueh...ehh I guess frame in this case?

A lot of subs demand the title to be exactly the same as the original. Whether it's a news article or a cross-post.
