The latter. Seems that many have studs primarily on the shoulders and that you can, to a certain extent, play with pressure to tweak stud contact. The paths in the area will get cleared pretty well, but there are always problem spots, sometimes it's a missed spot, others it's a low spot with poor drainage or maybe a shaded spot that encourages refreeze of runoff, etc. The only spills that I've taken as an adult have been in these kinds of situations.
Thankfully we don't get a huge amount of snow here, so the roads pretty much stay clear. Even if they aren't, traffic is close to nonexistent on my usual routes.

I take a drug designed as an anti-convulsant as a mood stabilizer, I don’t know if they understand how it works, but it does.

It turned out that it actually didn't work. But NOT ONE of the experts was even close to being right about why. The human body, and disease is WAY, WAY more complex than any system we can devise to test drugs. That's why we do clinical trials.
Indeed, TNF was originally expected to be a drug against cancer, because In Vitro it killed tumor cells while leaving normal cells intact. It wasn't till they did toxicology in mice that they discovered the systemic effects it has. That discovery is what led to the idea of blocking it as a treatment for autoimmune and inflammatory disease.

The paths get used quite a lot, even in the winter. There would be a lot of pissed off Karens if walks around the lake or along the rivers were taken away.

When I was a wee lad, we moved to a house on a lot maybe 100 feet wide, so we had 100 feet of sidewalk to shovel when it snowed. Dad insisted that it be shoveled the full width of the walk, not just a shovel's width path. Then there was the driveway, and the turnaround, and the walk from the garage to the house. I'm the youngest of 6 kids, so there was always someone to shovel snow, till I went off to college.
THEN, and only then, Dad got a snow blower.

Now I have a house on a corner with a ~200' sidewalk on the side in addition to the ~100' in front. Yeah, we got a snow blower after our first winter in the house. Truth be told, it's not *that* bad but for the fact that the 200' side regularly gets covered by the heavy, wet stuff coming off of the blades of the snowplows as they roar past. Even the gas, two-stage snow blower isn't happy with that.

Good ride today. We did get buzzed by a passing light truck, which made me yell at the top of my lungs, FOUR FEET, *******! The French shower had plenty of room but came damn near close to hitting us.
Other than that, it was a fantastic fun fall ride.
What starts with “f” and means ride?

Smart man, amiright? What's the sense of having kids if you don't put them to work? They're eating up all the food, aren't they?

Tell you the truth, as a driver I wouldn't even know about the 3 or 4 foot law if it wasn't for this forum. I mean, I haven't taken a driving test or read the manual since 1960-something.

I went through driver’s ed in 2000. It wasn’t covered then either. And it’s not like they ever make you take a refresher.

Black spokes? I don't generally like them, but they could be the only option, unless I stick with the used ones.
In Covid news, an acquaintance of the wife went to the hospital yesterday. An obese diabetic woman in her sixties. She is regularly observed at buffets, eating like she doesn't have diabetes. We are all telling ourselves there is reason to hope.
