I heard an interview with Dolores O'Riordan today, and I don't think I'd ever heard her natural speaking voice. I have to think even Irish people - Reagen Sep 15, 14:24 3

- Weather? What's that? - con_carne Sep 15, 14:26
- September has been much warmer than June-August here. nm - Dignan Sep 15, 14:25 2
  - lately we've had fairly cool mornings (like 5 to 8) and then it warms up to 25 or 26. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:30 1
    - I think our mornings have all been 10+ this month. nm - Dignan Sep 15, 14:35

I live in the Canadian city with the warmest average winter ... but this winter was so "bad" that I bought chains for our mazda3. - Beryllium Sep 15, 14:20 5
- I've never used chains in my life. I can't believe you could even buy them in Victoria of all places. -- nm - Subversive Sep 15, 14:26 3
  - and you lived in Ft. St. John! -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:27 1
    - Heh. Where's DDK to argue with when I need him? - Subversive Sep 15, 14:31
  - and to fit a mazda3, of all things. :) But I have them, and all they do is sit in the trunk and wait. Brooding. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 14:26

  - If it helps to put the matter behind us, I'm for it. As it is, the shit storm is still going in the Media. -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 14:21 5
    - It's nothing more than partisan posturing. It won't help put it behind us, it will help fuel the fire. - Stephen Sep 15, 14:29 2
      - He also broke the rules of the House. - znufrii Sep 15, 14:34
      - It's disingenuous to pretend this resolution isn't also a response to the Media coverage -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 14:31
    - that's more a comment on the media than anything else - znufrii Sep 15, 14:27 1
      - The media would have something different to report, is what I'm saying. Moreso if Wilson ends up doing the apology on the floor thingy. -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 14:30
  - but, tell me how you *really* feel about it... :) -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 14:19

        I know you can nitpick me to death. (It's that lawyerly training.) - CovingtonCat Sep 15, 15:08 9
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        I get it. It really *is* all about you. Always has been, always will. - CovingtonCat Sep 15, 15:19 7

        Again, all about you. And your insecurity. - CovingtonCat Sep 15, 15:25 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        "fire across the bow" shows your insecurity. Because it's all about you. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 15, 15:29 3
        
        [deleted] 2

- The sounds derisive, no? -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 14:14 2
  - You've seen gay movies, right? He also says "It's practically made in Gay-O-Vision." He gives it a mildly positive review though. -- nm - Dano Sep 15, 14:16 1
    - I figured that's what he was going for , in an unflattering way -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 14:17
Yay, my velour blankets have arrived! I'm ready for the cold fornt! -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 14:06 3
- If you want the best sleep of your life, buy a (real) down and featherbed or ione of the good synththetics. - Trish Sep 15, 14:16 1
  - I've been told that in Europe, you sleep under the featherbed, not on it. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 14:26
- you do realize you need warm *clothes*. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 14:07
[deleted]
Also, define "cold". -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:05 36

      - :) -- nm - crash davis Sep 15, 14:17
      - [deleted] 9
        
        I've no reason to doubt you, but that shocks me. -- nm - crash davis Sep 15, 14:17 8

        Idaho doesn't exactly have heavily trafficked roads. :) -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 14:20 2
        
        thats half the story, the other part is there are some mountain grades you can't make it up without chains -- nm - crash davis Sep 15, 14:26 1
        
        I do'nt doubt it for a minute. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 14:27
        
        what about studded tires? -- nm - crash davis Sep 15, 14:20 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        so its "learn to drive in the snow, or stay home you loser" -- nm - crash davis Sep 15, 14:23
        
        here too, I think :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 14:21
      - You know, I really want a smart car but I can't imagine it being...drivable in winter. nm - Dignan Sep 15, 14:15 1
        
        if you put skis on it, it looks just like a skidoo. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 14:22

    - It was more comfortable than I expected, after seeing the forecast. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 14:10 6
      - above zero F is not that bad, according to my aunts. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 14:13 5
        
        depends if there's wind or not. If it's calm I may not even bother with a jacket. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 14:15 4
        
        when it goes over 0, they say, "Oh it warmed up, that means it will snow." -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 14:19 2
        
        that's true for celsius, at least - if it's been at -10 for a week and then hits 1 or 2 C, usually means snow may be imminent -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 14:20 1
        
        she lives in quebec. Zero celsius does not exist in the winter. :) -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 14:22
