Temperatures neared 50 degrees Saturday afternoon, so the video was hard to believe.
A motorist was driving a Jeep Cherokee onto the thin ice of Puckaway Lake in Green Lake County, about 55 miles north of Madison.
As expected, it didn’t end well, since there was only about 4 inches of ice on the 5,000-acre lake, an impoundment of the Fox River, according to a Facebook post by the Wautoma Police Department.
An ice angler on Puckaway Lake in Green Lake County broke through about 4 inches of ice Saturday while trying to return to the Lotus Drive boat landing. The driver escaped wet but appeared to be unharmed.
Green Lake County Sheriff Joe Konrath said the 62-year-old man from Cambria was unhurt in the incident that was reported to his office at about 3 p.m.
“He just thought the ice was strong enough to drive on it,” Konrath said. “It warmed up pretty good Saturday afternoon, and Puckaway is just the Fox River going through and the water current probably weakened the ice. But he never should have drove on there.”
Two Wisconsin men died in the last few days when they fell through the ice in separate incidents. The state Department of Natural Resources on Friday warned people to exercise caution on the ice, which can look solid even when it’s not.
Mason Koerber, whose uncle Andy Duernberger, of Slinger, took a video of the incident, said the driver had been fishing on the lake near the Lotus Drive boat landing on the lake’s northern shore, which is in Marquette County a few miles south of Princeton. After fishing for a few hours, the man tried to return to shore but broke through the ice about 75 yards from shore. The front end of the vehicle plunged through the ice with the back end sticking up into the air.

In the video, the driver, who was the only person in the vehicle, can be seen crawling out the driver’s side window, which he appears to have rolled down before driving, and then hoisting himself out of the water onto the ice.
Koerber, who works in West Bend but is also a volunteer with the Slinger Fire Department and has trained in water rescues, said other people were fishing in the area where the Jeep went through but everybody had walked out, including Duernberger. There were no other cars or trucks or even ATVs on the lake.
The vehicle was removed Sunday, according to Wautoma Police.
UI bloat would be my first guess. Adding all of those settings to a normally-accessible UI would make common settings disappear in the noise.
Best to hide the settings not frequently used but still allow them to be set via about:config or by editing the config.json file directly. Mozilla did that, you Googled and found the solution to your issues, problem solved?
Locking thread. Comments are getting off-topic.

Rules act differently for rich people and politicians.
I think once the check is cut the car is never fixed. Instead you find an unscrupulous body shop willing to fabricate an invoice for the insurance company for a share of the payout.
This is the answer. Clear, concise, and correct,
Oof, now that’s a big fail
Easy solution: Town should say yes, but charge $650 million.
They should pull a TicketMaster: $30k for staffing and a $649,970,000 “facility fee”.

Problem solved, except for the sites that still refuse to work properly with established web standards.
Soju ranges from 12%-54%. Plus, soju is not well-distilled; it has impurities that vodka does not.
Edited: We’re likely both right. I was in Korea in 1999; back then the alcohol ABV values were quite a bit higher than today. I am also going to guess that the soju ABV content was skewed quite high around the Army bases. For reasons. I also could be wrong. It’s been known to happen.

Thanks for offering your perspective and some history
I read that sentence in my head in a Dwight Schrute voice.
I think it’s Tippy as in gratuity, and hedren as in head wren, a small bird who is the head, or leader.
That makes Tippi Hedren, an actress. She was in a movie called the birds.
Consider the dead horse beaten lol.
It’s designed to keep the prongs from collapsing or extending during manufacturing and shipping.
Absolutely correct - some trees are still in the process of losing their leaves.
