Oh yeah I figured you weren’t serious to begin with.

I see. So women are bad at walking in snow. This is my takeaway.

Yep nothing sexist just prioritizing on the most heavily used routes who'd have thunk it.

Limited resources.

You have X amount of grit to cover Y number of roads or Z number of pathways. Which has more traffic and which is more prone to fatal accidents without grit?

Obviously the roads are going to get priority and even then with footpaths which ones are priority to be gritted the one down empty street or the one outside a school?

It's not sexism it's prioritizing resourcres and managing risk.

To give an example here the first thing that get's grit is the biggest roads and paths to emergency services like hospitals or fire departments. Then smaller roads and things like common routes to schools and so on.

I’m not talking specifically about the pandemic or during lockdown - that was someone else. Someone made a comment in response to the pandemic comment that indicated they didn’t believe that women use more toilet paper than men, I added my comment with sources and reasoning saying women do. Then you joined the conversation and totally ignored the direction the talk had gone in - if you wanted to discuss the pandemic specifically, maybe reply to the person who made the comment about the pandemic in the first place? Not to me, when I was discussing toilet paper use based on gender in response to someone else’s comment??

And babies drink formula, but last I checked a two month old infant isn’t getting up and making themselves a bottle. If you couldn’t figure out the meaning “use formula” based on the conversation then I dunno what to tell you. Congrats on being pedantic to the point of derailing a conversation, I guess?

Haha, that would be amazing, and just... so so bad.

Nah, I'm good lol

How about "they salted commercial roads before rural roads" since that is clearly the most descriptive and the only one free of inference.

Ok how about this, “the implementation of road salting disproportionately benefits men over women” better?

Actually what people need to do is look out for themselves and their families. Nobody gets their rent paid this month because they were morally progressive. Actually we have very little responsibility towards one another, as evidenced by the fact that our moms were the last people to pay a bill or solve a problem for us.

You have kids in school today who lost a year of instructional time, are graduating into historic inflation and a recession, who can't afford a house, who likely will struggle to make good on their college investments....but people think they "need" to learn about something beyond what puts money in their pocket. It's a really pathetic ideology to think that anyone "needs" a religion or philosophy. If you are living on your own and working you don't need a damn thing more than the skills you sell to an employer. Because nobody is giving you jack shit in return.

It's because they are authoritarians at heart and they look to companies and government regulation as big hammers

OK but hear me out. Find Church's chicken on a map and then go to street view.

Knowledge is good. But that salting was not sexist. Words have lost all meaning at this point.

Jokes on the AI, our nukes are protected by 1970s tech that's requires you to hopscotch across the OPS floor with an 8inch floppy disk then input the codes with etch-a-sketch. Boston dynamics ain't got nothing on today's advance security.

I was making a revolutionary war joke.

It's amazing that people do this when egirls and dudes mostly don't make all that much money. And I don't get it, yeah we should all pay our taxes but there are way bigger cheats out there than people trying to pay their rent. Some of them do way better but the whole thotaudit thing reeks of bitter virgin energy.

There’s only so many gritters, and the budget is only so big

The priority is about the order that routes are gritted, under normal conditions we could expect footpaths to be gritted eventually

In a culinary setting you'd be right, in a road salting setting it's slightly more complicated.

You can get very fine halites (rock salt as you say) mined as an alternative source to sea salt.

Council gritters (clues in the name) use rough mined rocksalt which is mixed with sand and other aggregates and usualy screened to ~ 10 mm to make it amenable to spreading this definitely does contain small stones and grit and is why you get gritty sandy buildup on roads during gritting season that won't wash directly away when it rains (as a motorcyclist this is a nightmare as it tends to build up on crosshatch and makes filtering extra dangerous.

I agree it's not particularly helpful we just use rock salt to describe both materials though.
