    I recently got to experience this glorious moment, and I feel this is the appropriate post to share it in.

          In all the years I’ve had this car, I never even noticed that. Thank you, I’ll never be able to unsee it now!

          It’s an '05 Monte Carlo, but damn good call!

          It was my grandfather’s car for much of its life. He only ever really drove it like a mile at a time before he was no longer able to drive. When he passed away a few years ago, I got it. For being a car that survived Sandy and sitting in several feet of salt water, it has held up astoundingly well. At the time, all it needed was an electrical harness replacement. Since I got it, other than tires, brakes, and routine maintenance since, I’ve only just had to replace the exhaust line last year. It’s been a damn good car, and I plan to keep it as long as I can!

            I’ve got an '05 Buick Century with a similar story that just crossed 120,000 miles, and it’s had a shockingly easy life. I put most of the miles on after my grandmother passed.

            The similarity to my S10’s gauge cluster, and the fact that there hasn’t been an S10 with mileage that low since Obama took office, is what got my attention. I haven’t seen that odometer display without the top digit lit in 15 years.

      Niice.

      I just looked and I’ve got 593kms until I clock over to 80085.

      I will try not to miss it, but there is a solid chance I’ll look at 80086.

      To keep people from accidentally walking in?

      You won’t mistake it for a closet if you have to enter a code to get in.

        “Sorry, I didn’t know this room was in use! I typed 8008 on the keypad because it spells boob. I like boobs…”

    I imagine the person trying to decide whether to use 8008 OR spell it on the keypad with corresponding letters like the meme with the guy choosing between two red buttons.

    It’s nice that mothers have a place like this, it’s horrible that they are needed.

    Conservatives and religion made this a necessity that mothers have to hide when feeding their children naturally.

    [edit - ok I was ignorant and didn’t know these are a refuge not a curse. Lots of manthinking happened here … ]
