For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

My dad lent me his old snowblower, but it's one of the little tiny ones, which means I'm gonna have to go out and clear the driveway multiple times throughout the day, or wait til the end and probably overload the machine. Looks like the NOAA forecast dropped a bit, as of last night the most likely for my town was 22" but now it's down to 16-18" predicted.

It's raining icy poo poo all over NYC rn, but it's not too bad. I'm not going outside until like 2pm to force my dog on a walk (lol she's gonna be so angry)

I took a chance and stocked up on all my poo poo back on Saturday, so I'm gonna spend my day doing chili in a slow cooker and finishing a bottle of whistle pig while I watch that longass OJ doc

Governor told us all to stay home. Everything is closing - banks, malls, diners, even the post office (which has a lot of people incredibly angry). Tractor trailers are banned from highways. This is awesome. We're all going to die.

Also weather tracking has gotten much, much more advanced and capable, so it used to be "storm's coming, could be a big one" would just mean that a storm dumped a foot and half of snow on the area, and aww poo poo better scramble the plows and pay maintenance crews a ton of overtime.

Now we can accurately predict blizzards a few days out, so we get to name the storms and panic for a lot longer.

I went outside to pee in the snow and it was p windy and probably 4-6" of snow. It was windy enough where I didn't try to write my name in the snow and thats like probably my favorite part of being a guy and peeing on things

Can't you smoke indoors and just blow it out the open window? That works right?

i've seen shockingly meager amounts of booze to keep in one's abode at any given time, in this thread

stock up on bottom shelf vodka like i do, you simpletons

also keep some 151 on hand, you can drink it and also heat your home with it in a pinch if the power goes out or you run out of propane
