@sunumbral snow over ice is the worst. Depending on the thickness of the snow, it can be just enough to make my crampons useless.
@dillyd Good to know, this is my first winter having crampons.

@sunumbral well to be clear I'm talking about the lighter city crampons. My heavy duty hiking crampons handle any combination of snow and ice. But they're overkill for the sidewalk.

@dillyd all magic & no mundane day for you!
@kellyromanych
At least the commute was magical 😂
We'll see about the day in the office. So far it's pretty mundane. -
@dillyd hell yeah! I did a little winter riding this year but after falling on the ice and spraining my thumb I've kept it to days when there isn't ice on the roads. Next fall I'll probably invest in some studded tires and learn how to put them on myself so I'm not limited by ice
@trainguyrom @dillyd they're pretty easy to put on (I think tires overall improved vastly in the last 20 years... I don't have to curse nearly as much as I used to!) but with all the wheel aligning etc. I prefer to have it done by the bike shop. (I am fortunate in having a non-judgmental bike shop)

@DavidBHimself I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one.
And yes, I did lose my right to vote when I moved a couple of times, even as a resident+citizen of said location. That’s how our imperfect electoral system works. 😥

@evan I agree with @EricLawton -- "expatriate" is an imperial term. I see no confusion of terminology in his comment, quite the opposite.
In the context of the poll, "expatriate" was used about emigrants, not immigrants, but the point stands. The clearest term, if a bit long and pedantic, might have been "citizens who are not residents".

@DavidBHimself I’m suggesting that you should be able to vote where you live.
-
@EdwinG So, you're basically saying that I and many other people should lose their rights to vote?
To lose my most basic right as a citizen because I happen to not live on a piece of soil, but on another one?Quite a strange way to see democracy, indeed. (see where my "landowner" reference is coming from)

@DavidBHimself The situation in country B is indeed not relevant (resident, citizen), but it is relevant that they are not living in country A because they live in B.
In other words, should A’s not residing citizens be allowed to vote in A? And I’m saying, no.
