I mean, getting in shape has made my knees feel better. And when I talk with the grey beards they corroborate. If the pain is muscular fix your muscles
I like to crisp up my burrito in a pan after I roll it. if you brown the side with the opening first then the juices trying to escape soften up the tortilla enough to get cooked together. It's like welding a burrito shut.
Can you forgive yourself for feeling like he won? What sort of compassion can you feel for yourself in this situation? What kind of compassion can you feel for the person who blocked you?
I would go for a run or sit and journal a bit. Write or think out exactly what happened. Then I'd let myself know that it's okay to be feeling this way. Now this is a chance to better myself, because i want to try to be better than this. I then try to widen my context. It's not just me, it's not just me and this rando on the net. This is a small part of all of humanity right now, and it's time to make humanity better, even it's in a small way that only matters to me. Maybe next time I can try to make it better for more than just me.
Why not synthetics? Sure they smell worse than wool, but a synthetic fleece is very warm and will stay warm even when wet, and will dry faster than cotton.
Read, calligraphy, run, snowboard/split board, journal. I wish I could play videogames, but I feel too guilty, I'm trying to get away from YouTube as it's a black hole for free time.
Weight and weight distribution are both important, but a pickup will usually perform better in snow with more weight, like 500 lbs of sand in the bed usually does the trick.
How you apply power to the road surface is also very important. Not enough weight and you will just spin tires. Break too aggressively and you lock up. Pedal to the floor and your tires are spinning. Overcorrect your turns when you start to slide and you'll never get back straight.
My car is a little older and actually drives better in snow with the traction control off.
I see Jersey schmucks up here with their pavement princess trucks getting stuck in the snow all the time. I see locals in a Corolla or fiesta or other tiny light car make it just fine in deep snow. One of my bosses at the ski mountain used to drive a mini Cooper an hour to work every day.
I can't remember so much of what used to be me, it astounds me sometimes. But also it doesn't really bother me. The me I am now was shaped by what was regardless of my knowledge of it. Those past parts of me have passed through me, and new parts are yet to come.
