You absolutely need to hit the brakes, but don’t swerve. A deer weighs over 200lbs and will likely crash into your windshield if you hit it head on. You need to safely loose as much speed as you can because even a side hit on the deer is likely to wreck your axel and prevent you from driving.
Absolutely not true. No amount of speed is going to keep you safe if you strike an animal on a bike. You’re better off slowing down so that you have less momentum when you wreck. Drivers should be giving you enough space (even though they rarely do). A deer weighs more than a grown man and will kill you if you hit it at highway speed. A dog will take out your front wheel and cause you to wreck whether you hit it at 15mph or 80mph.
It’s such a steep [word] for 20 minutes of action.
Glad he is safe, but it’s hilarious how pissed off he seems about being returned to you
People don’t realize just how far north Europe is. The French who first settled Montreal got there in the summer, and seeing that they were at a similar latitude as Paris, prepared for a Paris winter.
They had a very rough winter.
Damn, he didn’t have to do UT San Antonio dirty like that
Why would you pay for the stove when you have two personal heaters that work for free?
They essentially just want a return to feudalism, but they know that would get them laughed out of any serious discussions, so they dress it up as “economic liberty”
India would be amy Libertarian’s wettest dream if only they weren’t incredibly racist. Worker’s rights are almost non-existent due to a neverending supply of fresh labor at any skill level, barely any environmental regulations enforced by the government, and is essentially just a capitalist free for all.
Well, it’s definitely fall here on Lake Erie. Crisp autumn air, although the harvest is going on and it’s wrecking havoc on my allergies.
At least NASA had built an actual telescope and rocket during all those delays. Star Citizen has consumed hundreds of millions of dollars over the past decade and still doesn’t have a game to show for it.
The keno addicts at the bar i work at are wild. They just keep silently putting in money and watching the drawings. I prefer that to the ones who try to explain their strategies to me or complain that some number appears in every drawing. Or the guy who came in Wednesday night and kept betting $10 that the first pitch of every at bat of the Mets/Brewers game was gonna be a strike. It’s bleak.
Now you just hook your debit card to the machine and you don’t even have to put a coin in!
They scare the shit out of me
Not every town is gonna flood every year. But there are major floods across Appalachia every year because of the geography. It’s always been a high flood rosk area, which was a major reason for the TVA back in the 30’s. Electrify the area and control flooding. I’m not arguing against climate change. I’m just saying that “flooding in the mountains” isnt some Noah’s arc type shit.
I’m not saying this isn’t unprecedented, but flooding (not at this level) has always been a reality of life in Appalachia. I remember going to Kentucky to help out after flooding in 2007 or 2008.
I’ll let you guess who was having a lovely nap 5 minutes ago
The Appalachian mountains getting massive flooding all the time. The only places you can really build anything are along river valleys in the mountains, so they flood when big storms come through.
Boudica has come a long way in just a couple weeks. She’s nearly 3lbs and holds her own against Nini when they wrestle.They’ve become best friends so soon. They really were so well behaved at the vet, Boudica was even purring when she got her shot. Next round of shots is scheduled for next month, and theey are getting spayed a week before Christmas.
Sliding the deer under your car is also really bad for you. It’s going to do a lot of damage under there such as ripping break lines, destroying ball joints, or fragging your differentials. You need to safely shed as much speed as possible while maintaining your lane when about to hit a deer.
