There should be some way you can hook up a voltmeter to the battery or main circuit and then pull fuses until the load disappears. I'm not an electrician of any kind, but from listening to my kid who's really into this, this is my guess. I had an Audi with a battery that kept going dead. Finally figured out it was a burnt out brights bulb. I didn't drive at night outside the city hardly ever, so I didn't know it was out. Changed the bulb and the battery never went dead again. So, it could be something small and seemingly inconsequential, or it could be a physical short. But I think you have a fun adventure exploring the wiring harness of that car ahead of you.

Honestly, this is probably almost exactly how it went down

One of my old bosses once went to the police station when he was drunk or high (or both) to complain about something crazy, and maybe about a crazy person trying to drive his car that he was actually driving. I think they talked him into spending the night while they checked it out. He had issues.

I've heard an old man use it this way a long time ago in the west. You would only hear it from someone who's very old or thinks they're a polite cowboy.

"opens new tab"

What?

Can confirm. When we moved back to Colorado from Austin, we drove all day at 55mph (truck was speed limited) which was about 13 hours, and we were still in Texas. It was very disheartening.

I honestly cannot tell if anyone is flirting with me or not. I also cannot imagine that anyone would flirt with me in the first place, but if anyone did, I still wouldn't know. The only flirting I knew was when my wife called me up and lectured me for not asking her out. Apparently, she had been flirting with me and I didn't know. I am not bright.

I still feel bad for the 1 kid in jr high whose parents refused to let him do the sex ed section. 13yos are assholes enough, they didn't really need something else to use to make fun of him for.

Kids can learn to be quiet. Maybe libraries don't need whisper voices anymore, but inside voices for sure. Teaching kids (and adults it seems) to respect a public space and the people who are using it is not kid hostile. Sharing a space means all sides have to compromise and get along.

My dad is a gun collector, so I was around them my entire life, but gun safety was also part of my entire life. We understood what they were and what they could do. So if my friends ever said "can we see your dad's guns?" It was always "no."

So, the rectum (poops last stop before freedom) is actually deep inside your pelvis as your colon makes the turn from the left side to the center, so your massage isn't moving the poop out like squeezing a toothpaste tube. However, it lies close to some internal muscles like the iliacus which can put pressure on it if they're stiff or inflamed (not unheard of in western society), and massaging them can get them to relax and relieve the pressure.

You're certainly not hurting anything with this, and since you've been doing it for so long, you may have developed a psychosomatic connection that might actually help your bowels do their work. It's weird, but go right ahead massaging the shit out of yourself because it might help in some way.
