      Phoenician pro-tip: if you use a letter for each individual sound instead of one for every word, it makes for a more efficient writing system. Also DO NOT fuck with the Romans or random weirdo desert tribes they will murder you without mercy.

          What winters? It barely gets below 32F/0C in Detroit anymore. This is actually quite problematic bc we need at least two solid weeks straight of below freezing temperatures to kill invasive bugs and we are no longer getting that.

        If someone wants to break into your car, they’ll see something inside and then attempt to break in. That, or if they know anything, theyll just smash your window, check your trunk through the seat, and leave.

        Leaving your window cracked probably doesnt increase your likelihood of getting your car broken into, especially if you dont leave anything valuable in the car.

        Either way, leaving things like backpacks, large cases, really anything at all valuable looking anywhere in your car is the greatest way to get your car broken into.

        I went and bought one of those for my dark colored vehicle, today is the first day I’m using it. I remember it helping on another vehicle I used to have, but that one also had tinted windows.

          I’ve found that leaving a few windows cracked is more effective than the shades, but doing both certainly can’t hurt.

          Except that I get rain where I live, so leaving windows cracked can be a bit of a gamble sometimes and I have to stay alert.

            I used to have these little visor things that covered the top few inches of the side windows, that helped a lot because I live somewhere where it can suddenly rain.

              You know, I’ve seen those on cars occasionally but it never actually twigged until now what they were for. I’m one of today’s lucky ten thousand. I’m going to see if I can find a set of those.
