Car Defrosters
On 12/03/2012 in Question
The defroster in my car doesn’t work very well and I’m often forced to scrape the frost off the inside of my windshield while I’m driving. Why is there always more frost directly in front of me than in any other area of the windshield?

Your car is trying to kill you. If I were you, I’d trade it in as soon as possible. This defroster malfunction is only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. One day the brake pedal will be suspiciously soft, and then when you’re heading into a curve you’ll find you have no brakes at all. I once heard of a Saab that fried its owner with the driver’s seat warmer. By the way, never stick your head through a sun roof, even in jest. Those things can close very quickly, even with no one at the control. Yes, new cars are intelligent, flashy, and unbelievably malevolent.

In the winter, I like to use a bath oil to keep my skin soft. The ones they sell at the drug store are so expensive. Is there any way I can make one at home?
