I would always go practice driving during the first snow. The reations required are a bit different. One thing I would do was slam on the brakes at aoubt 45 or so. There was the time the truck swerved for some reason and I almost rolled it. I can still feel that adrenalin rush.
I don’t take driving in the snow too lightly, but I do something similar. I want to see how my truck is going to handle the snow. Not all snow is the same.

I want to be confident driving in the white stuff with as few surprises as possible. The big surprise, is typically how other people drive…
 
Thanks and I did for years but it’s starting to take its toll. I need tons of rest now just to get through and then a recovery day when I get back. I say I’m going to retire in seven years but I’d love to do it sooner. I keep threatening to retire and go herd goats in the alps or some other low stress job!🤣

Everyone have a great day! Raptor MZ.

Yeah, it must be a tough job. Lots of stress too.
 
It was a bullshit problem. Many parts, and depending on how you simplify it, many ways to write the final function. But all of them are correct. But you have to type that into a web page, and it decides if your answer is correct.

Then you use the function to solve the final problem. We all did the problem, three different ways, and came up with the same answer. Web page said it was wrong...
“It’s a bullshit question….

The defense is wrooooooong.”

Yesterday was rough. Been trapped in this house for almost a year now.

This time of year I get sicker than normal outside, so leaving for even a couple hours leaves me sick for a couple of days.

It's getting to the point where I need to abandon nearly everything we've worked for over the last 25 years, pull up stakes and start over somewhere else. Not sure I have the energy for something like that. But can't do that yet anyway, some things need to wind down here. Really struggling with it right now. Fuck. Just fuck!

Hope you are all having a better day than this one is starting out to be! Lol
Sorry you’re having a bad day, bro.

That majorly sucks. I hope you can find a solution, even if it may means moving.
 
Sounds like you were able to get the answer but NOT the way the teacher wanted it. Theres a bunch of ways ro
Get to the right answer….

Creating problem solving.
There are some teachers who won't give you credit if your solution doesn't match the one in their Instructor's Edition of the textbook.
Case in Point: HS Geometry
"You have the 22 points. I follow you up until this point here... and pick it up for the last X points. But I lose you in the middle and your solution doesn't match mine (i.e. the book's), so I can't give you full credit."

That teacher's personal limitations sucked all the fun out of geometry. The crap grade didn't help either. ☹️

The issue here is the number of people who just moved here from the sun belt, and have never driven on snow. They don’t understand to take it slower, increase your following distance, and start to break earlier. Also, four wheel drive doesn’t mean four wheel stop.

Deceleration is your friend when driving in snow.

So true....i being from the snow belt second the factual reality that four wheel drive does not mean four wheel stop. I watch the West Coast implants doing SUV implants all winter long

HS Geometry all over again. Boo! Hiss! ☹️

College level algebra, but it involved a little required knowledge of geometry.

Sometimes you can't automate this stuff and still teach the student well. With a hand written sheet of paper the instructor can follow the logic and understand different but correct answers! (The whole point of my gripe... LOL)
