Didn't you literally say you were offended by some people you don't know choosing to go to Laos...?

Get a scraper/brush and keep it in your car.

Use it before you start driving. Don't just clear a "porthole" to see out of. Clear the snow off the roof too. If you don't it'll fly off and hit the guy behind you or it'll slide down over your windshield.

If you don't have your scraper, a credit card will work in a pinch for the windshield.

Don't pour hot water over your windshield to melt ice. At best it just doesn't work, at worst you'll crack the windshield

If you're new to driving on icy/snowy roads, get a sense for how/when your car will break traction. Find an empty parking lot, accelerate a bit and then brake increasingly harder until you start to slide. This will give you a feel for the conditions under which you'll lose traction to brake. This is also a good way to learn how to recover from a slide.

No rank and file US-based employees at Amazon are getting years of severance. They don't do that.

Is the criticism that they told drivers about how the Idaho stop worked? If the Idaho stop was going to be more widely adopted, it's a reasonable assumption that there would be a public education campaign so people knew what to expect.

Either way though, it's a study meant to test a hypothesis and the outcome suggested that Idaho's approach may be a good one.

If you're wanting an admission that the study's results may not hold up under further testing, sure. Admitted. But the study as a first step is pretty reasonable.

Firefox can do without Google being the default fine. What they can't do without is all the money that Google pays them to make Google be the default.
