with the number 10 … no, make that the number 11 extractor jaws. This one’s in deep.
So I was walking from the office to the parking lot whilst the snow is coming down. The streest has a an inch of snow on it, with ice underneath from the rain we had the last few days. This car pulls by, over in the wrong lane, and I look over at the driver. This stupid cow is driving in ice on snow and yakking in her bloody be damned cell phone.
How fucking stupid do you have to be to do that? I guess she was lucky, 'cause by the time I got to my car on out on the road she was gone and there were no signs on an accident, but for fucks sake WHY do people take chances like that?
In a frictionless environment, the kinetic force of the car is less, as it slides to impact rather than accelerates. Something about mass and velocity, but math is hard.
I endorse this pitting. Idiots on cell phones are bad in good conditions, idiots on snow covered ice deserve to run off the side of the road and get stuck in slush while breaking their phone on the windshield. Then, they get to slog through the slush and snow and ice to the road in their work shoes and try to wave at all the other drivers who are on their cell phones and don’t notice them.
Snow keeps falling, and the temp keeps going down, and in the morning there is a vaguely human shaped snowdrift next to the road.
