Reply to LPT Request What are some strategeies you all use to reduce work-related guilt when doing something fun? by Other_Account_6435
Work is work, and fun is fun. If work is fun, good for you, but when fun starts becoming work: tell work to fuck off.
You get paid to do work for a certain period of time. Outside that time period is yours to do with as you please. Work doesn’t get to dictate your fun time. Work isn’t important when you’re off the clock. Don’t worry about work unless they’re paying you to do so.

But only do it once. Fuck the poor and destitute the rest of the year, right?

Doesn’t sound helpful for a curious child, there’s much much better ways to handle that.

Volunteering at a soup kitchen, I found that the place would be devoid of volunteers for every day except religious holidays. It was a break for me every time that happened on my volunteer day.

Or it's not a road at all. I did this once ended up on an ATV trail. Had to get dragged out by a side-by-side (I had a small car). I let google know and it looks like they've removed the "short cut".

I did listen to my GPS last weekend and it potentially saved me a massive headache. I live in Wisconsin and left Thursday around 6pm to head 4.5 hours away to family who live in a very rural part of Indiana. Once we hit Chicago it was a nightmare. Very few plows, no salt, no lines. Everyone was just kinda doing their own thing. The skybridge was terrifyingly slippery.
After that there's a 117 mile stretch of straight highway that we usually take, but my GPS offered to take us another way and save a few minutes. We did. The roads weren't plowed well, but I managed a steady pace of 40mph and we arrived around 2am.
On our way back, we did take that stretch of highway since it was clear at that point. We counted no less than 36 cars (and a handful of semis) all in the ditch and covered in snow, clearly left at least overnight. That could have been us if we'd stayed the course.

This is so accurate! My Waze is generally great but it'll take me on the windiest backroads on the sharpest hills to spare a minute.

And there's only one road connecting the eastern side with the western side. We were there a few years ago, and a huge mudslide took out half of Highway 4. People were told they had to stay in Tofino for two days because there was no other way out.

> Pretend you’re driving a boat.
As a Canadian, I concur. On a boat, you have to plan ahead; same thing driving in the snow.
Although, with the new traction control and ABS, you can't have any fun any more. One of the rites of passage for young men in Canada was taking the car to the empty shopping mall parking lot after a snowfall, and learning how to do doughnuts.

Which ferry? Driving south of the lake from Plattsburg can take three hours.

"Shortest Route" is the worst possible option. It had me zig-zagging on a two-lane road for 30 miles, when there was an interstate three miles away.

Reply to LPT: Got a Steam gift card for Christmas? Hold on to it after you put the code in. If your account gets hacked, you can use the old code to recover your account. by Worst_Support
This and the oldest information on your account. For example the very first email address, phone number registered on the account or payment method.
If your account has been hacked before and then you add the gift card after the fact (after you got your account back), it's not going to be that reliable proof for support. Steam account ownership always goes to the account creator. There are multiple users who got denied access after getting hacked because the info provided is too recent. So best possible way to prove ownership is providing the oldest info possible
