An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

New blades are great. Really improves visibility when it's raining
There's that, too.
The other reason I've been putting it off is that the last two times I've done this on previous cars with the same problem, they've been totalled within a couple of weeks (not my fault). I'm not a superstitious fellow as a rule, but still...
Give us an update in a few weeks.
I've been riding my bike to work lately, and rarely go anywhere on weekends, so my car can go unused for weeks at a time. Hopefully that'll help preserve its life.
The previous incidents were when I was a driving instructor and doing over 1000km a week, so a much greater likelihood of a crash.
Our neighbor nearly wrecked our car, which was parked in our driveway, last week. Her car rolled down her driveway on its own and came within centimeters of ours, crashing into a utility box next to the street. That was definitely not-dull.
So a car can be destroyed even without anyone moving it. I wish you luck!
Especially when it's coming at you like a locomotive.
