This video is for a proprietary system, but most automatic snow chains work in a very similar way, including those on ambulances. You'll also find them on school busses, fire trucks, and utility vehicles.

Did you know that a gas-station roller dog can roll over the length of a football field?

I made this after a very stoned 7-11 taquito run, but it applies to roller dogs too. And you know they don't always throw em out when they're supposed to.

Probably related; I've noticed that the quality of basic vegetables drastically dropped during COVID and hasn't bounced back.

A few particular examples that come to mind. Onions that are starting to rot in a layer or two, or digging through a box of onions and they are all soft. One store seems to only have garlic that is beginning to sprout, another only carries weirdly large garlic that has a fraction of the flavor of regular garlic - not sure if it's a different variety or just grown/picked poorly. A whole box of potatoes that are all sprouting or all green. Often, all brussel sprouts will be soft, or all the limes brown. And this is from 3 stores I visit, so it's not just one shitty buyer.

I know this could be mis-perception on my part, but I know that 5 years ago, I didn't have to think about root vegetables - they weren't good or bad quality, they just were.
