  • I agree with the meme because damn I can’t wait to leave wherever I’m at and go home

    But on a more serious level, why should you be leaving so quickly? It’s bad for the car to start it and then immediately take off.

    If your gas engine car has been parked for a long time and has cooled from operating temps, you need to give it time to warm up first. Start the car and let it run for a minute. This allows time for fluids to cycle through your engine and radiator. Then you can drive, but don’t drive hard until your oil temp and coolant temp gauges rise to normal operating levels. Treat it like a workout for your body; you don’t go outside and then immediately begin sprinting. You want to start slow to warm up your muscles first.

    Note: some modern cars indicate in the owner’s manual you can drive after 10 seconds from starting your car. You can listen to the manual since the engineers built your car and know it best. However, giving it sufficient time for fluids to flow through is always best. I always wait about a minute to play it safest.












  • Ever since he recently shit his pants on live TV, he’s noticed he’s been shitting himself more frequently every few hours. Given that his lucky staff had the pleasure of doing multiple diaper changes a day, he hasn’t had time to really focus on Greenland. I think he’s going to try some more ivermectin, or possibly, bringing some bleach into the body (almost like a cleaning?). His doctors are looking into that. But yes, he’ll get the poopy diaper thing under control at some point and then it’s back to Greenland.



  • Exactly. Cats are extremely affectionate. If we’re away from our cat in another room for a long period, he’ll carry his toy mouse while yowling. Once he finds us, he drops it near us and we’ll get head bumps and tail hugs.

    The cats that don’t seem to be affectionate could be for owners that don’t really know how to interact with them properly. Or the ones that just let them roam around, don’t engage them or try enrichment, etc.
