Nooooo, don't do that. There is so much that can go wrong. And if you ever get into an accident woah boy.

If you must lifehack your way to a warmer car, try tea lights. You should have a few in your car for emergencies anyway if you live in a place where winter exists*. A single tea light is enough to keep a car warm for 4 hours because it is easy to heat a small space. If your car is especially roomy or the outdoors is bitterly cold you might need 2 at a time, probably never 3 though. A couple tea lights can literally keep you from freezing to death in your car if you crash into a snowbank and are stranded overnight. And unlike a wood stove a candle is unlikely to produce enough carbon dioxide/monoxide to kill you.

If that isn't DIY enough, you could build some sort of candle cage and glue it to your dashboard to keep the melty wax and fire safely contained.



*You can buy special "emergency candles" instead. The main difference is that tea lights cost like 10 cents for 4 hours of flame, and emergency candles cost 5-10 times that much.

Russia's army is massing troops and hundreds of pieces of weaponry including mobile rocket launchers, tanks and artillery at a makeshift base near the border with Ukraine, a Reuters reporter saw this week.

Many of the vehicles have number plates and identifying marks removed while many of the servicemen had taken insignia off their fatigues. As such, they match the appearance of some of the forces spotted in eastern Ukraine, which Kiev and its Western allies allege are covert Russian detachments.

Perth, Australia, my home town. She's squatting on the Deformed Cactus, which was Perth's apathetic attempt at public art that now gives a cheap PVC feel to the main city square. We don't even have any natural cacti in Aus.

Ivan Dmitrich Aksionov is a merchant living in a town in Russia, Vladimir. Although Aksionov is prone to drinking, he is not violent, and he is responsible and well liked by people that know him. One day he decides to go to a fair as a business venture, but his wife pleads for him not to go because of a nightmare she had the previous night. Aksionov doesn't consider his wife's dream and leaves for the fair.

Aksionov meets another merchant on his way, and the two decide to travel together. They check into an inn and have a good time drinking, then they retire separately. Aksionov wakes early in the next morning to get to the fair and leaves without the other merchant. Not far down the road, Aksionov is stopped by some policemen. They explain a merchant was just murdered and robbed, and then they search Aksionov's bag. They find a bloody knife, and despite Aksionov's claims that he is not the murderer, he is sentenced and sent to Siberia. After his trial flogging, his wife can finally visit him, and she sees that Aksionov's hair has begun to go gray from the stress.

Aksionov spends twenty-six years in Siberia, and, resigned to his fate, he dedicates his life to God. He becomes a mediator of sorts in the prison, and he is well respected by the other prisoners and also guards alike. One day some new prisoners, one of them being Makar Semyonich, are transferred to the prison. After overhearing several conversations, Aksionov is convinced that Makar Semyonich is the man who committed the murder for which Aksionov was blamed.

One day the guards notice that someone had been strewing dirt around the grounds, and they search the prison and find a tunnel. Aksionov had found out earlier that it was Makar Semyonich that was digging the hole, but after being questioned by the police, Aksionov declares that it is not his place to speak about the matter. Makar Semyonich approaches Aksionov later that day in a terrible state, and he eventually admits to Aksionov that it was he who killed the merchant. Aksionov forgives Semyonich, and he feels as if a terrible weight had been lifted. Makar Semyonich confesses to the authorities, and the process for Aksionov to be cleared is begun. Unfortunately, Aksionov dies before he can reach home, but he dies in peace.
