that crap was headed our way (city of the worlds most pathetic football team) but they revised the forecast to just rain now instead of sleet/freezing rain/snow. that poo poo's solid ice. unless you have snowtires with studs, there is no tire on the planet that will stop you on glare ice. it's real life frictionless GTA. i've been in that situation a bunch of times and there is absolutely zero you can do. touch any control at all, and it just makes it worse, so clench up the anus and ride it out.

the vids are fun to watch though, it's like a terrifying slow motion vehicular destruction ballet or something.

it's mostly just the big cities that are terrible at it. once you get out of the top 20 or so population centres, everyone else is still laughing at toronto for calling in the national guard when it snowed too much

to be fair, i would also not be able to tell if it were a parody with a televangelist instead of a bearded guy in a robe. i think it was jerry falwell who said that hurricane katrina was punishment for lesbians and/or abortions

im about halfway through season 1 and it's so lopsided

Picards character changes all the time from angry old man to stern commander to compassionate - it's schizo

don't.

remember really. really bad TOS episodes like 'spock's brain'?

voyager is nothing but multiple seasons of making spock's brain look like the best piece of entertainment ever created by human beings.

purple are people who powercycle devices but can't manage problem solving

yellow can install useful programs and malware

red can use programs and install malware

grey can, well nothing of use to society probably

https://www.nngroup.com/articles/computer-skill-levels/ is where it's from

here's level 3:

quote:

The tasks ranged in difficulty from very straightforward to somewhat complicated. One of the easy tasks was to use the reply-all feature for an email program to send a response to three people. This was easy because the problem was explicit and involved a single step and a single constraint (the three people).
One of the difficult tasks was to schedule a meeting room in a scheduling application, using information contained in several email messages. This was difficult because the problem statement was implicit and involved multiple steps and multiple constraints. It would have been much easier to solve the explicitly stated problem of booking room A for Wednesday at 3pm, but having to determine the ultimate need based on piecing together many pieces of info from across separate applications made this a difficult job for many users.
Even the supposedly difficult tasks don�t sound that hard and I certainly expect all of my readers to be able to perform them speedily and with a high degree of confidence. However, my entire point is that just because you can do it, it doesn�t mean that the average user can do so as well.
...
Level 3 = 5% of Adult Population
This is what this most-skilled group of people can do: �At this level, tasks typically require the use of both generic and more specific technology applications. Some navigation across pages and applications is required to solve the problem. The use of tools (e.g. a sort function) is required to make progress towards the solution. The task may involve multiple steps and operators. The goal of the problem may have to be defined by the respondent, and the criteria to be met may or may not be explicit. There are typically high monitoring demands. Unexpected outcomes and impasses are likely to occur. The task may require evaluating the relevance and reliability of information in order to discard distractors. Integration and inferential reasoning may be needed to a large extent.�
The meeting room task described above requires level-3 skills. Another example of level-3 task is �You want to know what percentage of the emails sent by John Smith last month were about sustainability.�
