Or you could avoid doing things that might end in assault charges
Point and laugh. Always a good strategy.
heh, as a finnish person, we still do this every november, because even the best "3 peak" non-studded winter tires aren't as good as a proper studded winter tire
In Montana studs are still allowed between Oct. 1 and May 31. And the Highway Patrol has the discretion to not ticket motorists who put them on a little early or take them off a little late. At the higher elevations, in the western part of the state, it can, and does, snow in every month of the year.As did many of my wife's extended family (Norwegians and Swedes) who live in the northern tier of the U.S. states (Minnesota and North Dakota). Most of those states have since prohibited studded tires since they can be so destructive of the highways. It's been years since I had studs, but they sure were useful in coastal Maine where the heavy snowfall would frequently partially melt and then freeze overnight into a roadway ice rink.

I was a stud back then too. As I recall.
I'll bet 90% don't get this one. Although given the probable average age of the forum, I could be wrong.

A coworker of mine was cleaning out his garage. His teenage daughter opened a box, pulled out a floppy disk, and said: "Why do you have a 3D-printed 'save' icon?"I like to think a lot of the folks here get it.
Curious what your impressions are of the Bosch strategy of blue vs. green to differentiate the two lines.Tool colour should only be based on quality of the equipment, like bosch blue vs green.
The issue with these pink set is that they tend to be made of chineseum.

My forty+ year old sons barely remember diskettes and I'm nearly certain none of them actually handled one
Oregon Trail II was life changing in those days!I'm younger than your sons and I very clearly remember using diskettes.
I think my cousin got an old computer from school that had edutainment games on 8" floppys. School didn't get rid of all of them, though, because I'm pretty sure that we had a couple of those green screen machines in the classroom, while the good Macs with Number Munchers and a newer version of Oregon Trail were in the computer lab, and we didn't get to play those games until after a few rounds of Mavis Beacon.
My family's first computer, a Win98 machine, had a CD drive, and an even newer version of Oregon Trail. It didn't have a CD burner, though, and I don't know if USB drives caught on until we got an XP machine (I can't remember if my first USB drive was 16 or 64 MBs, but I know it had trouble with PowerPoint presentations). I very clearly remember taking word processing documents to school on floppys, and helping dad swap out disks as he backed up his Quicken files.
Those were some days. The world will never be like that again.
Y'all should ask @bracconiere about that. He was with one of the original covered wagon trains that went west. THAT was life changing.Oregon Trail II was life changing in those days!

I loaded IBM's OS2 on a 486SX 🖥 with a stack of those diskettes. I don't remember how many but is was a shixx load.

Gawd, did I hate FORTRAN.
Yes, except it was a CDC 6400. My wife "fondly" remembers our "dates" at the computer center.Yeah, but did you ever load a deck of 88 character punch cards into an IBM 360 mainframe compiler tray, only to have to wait an hour or more for the batch load to run, and then find out your program had crashed since ONLY ONE character of 88 on ONE CARD in a stack of SEVERAL HUNDRED cards was mis-typed? Pardon me while I have a PTSD flashback panic attack from the 60s. I'm afraid my feeble brain is now trapped in a time-warped DO_LOOP.

Ya know - ink jets are still dot matrix.thankfully i didn't get scurvy, because i learned to make pine needle tea for vitamin c. and just because i had 100s of 3.5" floppies, with DOS games, i'm not THAT old! lol (oh, and the joys of dot matrix printers!)
I did some work on an 1130 in Fortran II. Anyone else remember the single 14" hard platter, hard case, removable disk cartridges?Such modern equipment! I started on the 1460, which was only a few years advanced from the 1401...

Brew on
Those are also dot matrix.yeah well, laser printers are affordable enough these days......much better....
