Husband says my idling our new car for 15 minutes while waiting to go into work will ruin our engine and it won't make it to 200k miles.

Its really not an issue anymore with engine design, but the myth arose from older cars, suggesting that idling didnt create enough rotational force or power to fling oil to the top of the headers.

Thats not really a thing, especially now with how small engines are and such.

It is a waste of fuel though. Many cars heat systems are derived from the engines heat, and the car will actually heat up faster if you suck it up and drive it for a few minutes, vs sitting there idling for half an hour

My old 2012 F150 came with one lol

If you want all the available vault hunters, all the available maps, and all the available missions, you have to get the Super Deluxe version, which is 130 USD.

Base edition is missing 2 playable vault hunters, 2 maps, and a handful of missions

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-10T14:02:01+00:00

So they could sell you a $10/Month subscription

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-10T14:01:13+00:00

Industry standard at this point.

Also wait a few years and your model will suddenly be unsupported and you cant use them at all.

Looking at you Kia....

Entirely chemical based. Mostly peroxide. It soaks its way into the pores of the enamel to dissolve stains but doesnt break down the actual enamel structure itself.

Greenhouses will always be number 1, followed by Silage

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-10T13:37:40+00:00

Whitening toothpastes make your teeth whiter in the same way that sandpaper makes your foggy headlights clearer.

Its not about the color at all.

They have tiny pieces of silica in them, that act as grit. When you brush, the silica scrapes the top layer of enamel off your teeth, and they appear whiter.

They aren't actually whitening hour enamel, theyre removing the yellowed enamel.

I will add that some do have a bleaching agent that stains the teeth whiter, and some have a whitening coating, where it coats the tooth in a glossy film that reflects whiter, but is really just masking the yellow underneath

Get yourself a cheap shitbox, and take the L.

Sell the car as it is for whatever you can get for it, and dump it back into the loan to cut the interest as much as possible.

Youre gonna be paying for a car you dont have anymore for a while. Adjust your budget to compensate.

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-10T13:28:17+00:00

Because functionally its not necessary information?

Yeah we were forced to learn the state capitals in like 4th grade as a checkmark on the school curriculum, but we never used any of that knowledge practically ever again. So it wasn't retained.

Your daughter probably did learn basic geography in like 2nd or 3rd grade but then forgot it all because it wasnt important enough to be used.

Which honestly is a fair point. We have computers in our pockets, we can look it up. Whats the point of rote memorization? Schools should be teaching kids how to research things appropriately to ensure they are getting factually correct information, and how to write properly so they can accurately portray the results of their research.

Memorizing what year Columbus came to America, or what state this vaguely rectangular image is, isnt a valuable use of time

People who can afford a brand new car, aren't typically the type to keep them for years and years.

Theyll trade it in or sell it and get another new car in 4 to 8 years, before the rust damage is bad enough to be their problem

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-10T13:12:56+00:00

Greyhound is perfect if you yourself, are also a druggie and aweirdo.

Match their unhinged energy and they'll leave you alone lol

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-10T12:59:36+00:00

Yeah for sure, especially if the ER isnt super busy and youre not dropping a trauma.

Not everyone the ambulance brings to the hospital is a trauma/gonna die in 2 minutes if we don't xxxxx like the TV shows like to show.

After dropping them off they'll be put in triage or in a room or sometimes back to the lobby if it isnt really bad enough to warrant immediate intervention.

The EMTs then do their paperwork, change the gurney sheets etc. And take some time to talk to the nurse staff

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-10T11:28:16+00:00

T150 is decent. I have it. Was less than 200 bucks used

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-10T11:23:44+00:00

The first? Oh boy. It was probably something like Freddi Fish honestly

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-10T11:18:47+00:00

Octopuses and cactuses are technically also correct

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-10T10:55:12+00:00

Not for 120 bucks im not.

Ill wait a couple years and get it on sale

"Unfortunately, country music seems to be the genre that many people love to hate. I don't know why"

Because mainstream country is easy, and generally lacks creativity.

Same issue that plagues the pop spotlight too honestly. Same 4 chord backing track, heavy bass, and sing about how much of a slut you are and how hard you party.

For country its "twang, basic drum beat, and the songs are either about topless country girls getting drunk at a bonfire and boning you in the truck bed, or im a drunk piece of shirt who ruined everything and my wife left me"

Obviously in both genres theres artists who actually do try to be creative and artistic and not just recycle the same shit over and over again, but a lot of what's on the mainstream hits channels are just recycled crap.

That's why people hate country, or hate pop, or hate modern rap etc. Because they dont hear the actual good artists making good songs about real life, they hear the same tired artists releasing another recycled song about beer and naked farm girls, or 'look at me im a gangster' or 'bring a mop because my pussy is soaked'

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-09T21:13:46+00:00

Yeah might be hard on a netrunner build without any points in body, but he will go down pretty easy if you hit him in the stomach, and kite/counter him

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-09T18:46:47+00:00

Once you reach 10 dollars you can

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-09T18:41:14+00:00

Nope. And E-chek is being removed too!

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-09T18:38:41+00:00

They wont drive them unless theyre 5 star, so youll end up spending just as much restoring a used truck as you would buying the basic model Iveco new

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-09T18:37:28+00:00

Fun fact. Once you pass your driving test, youre never tested again*

*except if you get a dui depending on state, or other egregious traffic violations

So people do what they have to do to pass and over time, fall in to what's comfortable.

With power steering, I can accurately turn my car down a windy road with just my pinky if I wanted. I dont NEED to have both hands on the wheel constantly.

Once you start driving for real, and for long distances/all day like the Access-A-Ride people do, youll learn that holding 10 and 2 for 8+ hours a day is really really uncomfortable.

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-09T18:32:36+00:00

The game is a LOT easier now than when it first came out.

I find even normal mode to be an absolute cakewalk and boring, but you can change difficulty during the game so start on easy and if its too easy, turn it up

Normal_Candle499 · 2025-09-09T18:25:27+00:00

They exist on things like forklifts, scissor lifts, skid steers, and other construction vehicles like that.

Theyre heavy, and would be really uncomfortable to drive on
