I am offended: "In Europe, automakers must meet pedestrian impact standards, which has never been the case in the U.S."

I didn't realize how complicated the design of shovels were
I mean the stamped ridges have to be just so to avoid flexing, but not too much to compromise integrity of the steel
And the front angle has to be just so to make it easy to push through soil, but not too sharp to avoid breaking the tip
All of this even before getting into the complexity of "tri-folding" entrenching tools
Today is pretty good. Pretty darn good.
cottage cheese and spicy salami are amazing together.
Reading about how everyone to the east is melting and feeling damn grateful as I put on a light jacket and head out for a walk.

If someone with a disability or a chronic illness or a mental illness tells you something is too difficult for them to do, believe them. Maybe it's something they could do on another occasion. Maybe it's something you find, or even "everyone" finds, easy. Maybe it's something you found trivial to research or learn how to do. Believe them anyway. Maybe it's only three steps, maybe it's a piece of software, or a phone call. Believe them anyway.
Believe people when they tell you their experiences.
@Mainebot hot toddies for you! 🍵
it's misty and cool outside and my walk this morning is going to be lovely.
