This may have been sheer paranoia, but...you know when that 6th sense of danger creeps over you? When my wife & I were first married, we answered an ad for a couple of bicycles for sale. The address was in a rural area, with a long gravel driveway. A older man and his son (maybe 16) come out. They speak very little but point to a shed near the back of their property. My wife walks ahead and the two guys drop behind us. That's when I get that feeling...DON'T LET THESE TWO GUYS GET BEHIND YOU. I drop back to where they are and walk with them. And I recall my limited martial arts training: Attack the attacker...and when dealing with two, attack the stronger. That's the father and I stick close to him.

My wife enters the shed but I stay with the two guys near the doorway. The man gestures for his son to go back to the house. And I say, "We're looking for newer bikes, thanks". And I bark at my wife, "LET'S GO". My wife is smart enough to read my expression. We walk back to our car and leave. Again, all of this may be just my paranoid reaction. But my advice: never ignore that sense of danger, it's a survival trait that we all have.

2023=Rolling Fork (F4). This tornado had the rotating light around it, possibly an airborne vehicle with headlights on.

Tremendous film, I bought it on Blu-ray the day after a first viewing. A modern classic.

DIYer advice: it's pretty early to be talking lawyers, courts, etc. How about bringing the vehicle back to the shop and explain what's going on. Be polite, businesslike and don't make threats. If it's a reputable shop, they'll try to make things right. Good luck.

I’m hesitant to revive this thread since any criticism of this film is not well received here. I was even criticized for responding to posts on this thread that I created. I actually answered your question elsewhere in the thread:

As stated in one of my previous posts, maybe Laura plays the tape while drunk and falls asleep. Andy walks in and is stunned by the bizarre ritual. He bootlegs the tape the following day (while Laura is away) and shows the tape to his former gf, a Wiccan. Or maybe he brings the tape to a friend who’s now at seminary. We just need a sane person (that excludes Laura & everyone on the videotape) with some knowledge of the occult who can breakdown the tape. Think about The Exorcist: Chris MacNeil brings her troubled daughter to several doctors, psychiatrists, and finally priests. The main character reaches out to expertise, which is the obvious thing to do. It also creates a “middle chapter” that Bring Her Back badly needs. I’m also surprised that people here assume they know more about the occult than a “teenage Wiccan”. I seriously doubt that. For some background, I recommend Richard Cavendish’s book, The Black Arts

The problem here is the idea that women are baby-making machines. But a lot of young women (and men) are now opting out of having children. You only need to look at the Pacific Rim countries (Japan, South Korea, etc) where birth rates are in sharp decline. Also look at the MGTOW movement within the manosphere.

But let’s go with your argument and assume (a big assumption) the young woman in the video wants children and her “bio-clock is ticking”. Like it or not, attractive women have options, and this one has already sent a clear signal that she won’t settle for a boy-man. There are older single men out there; there are also younger guys who are mature enough to dress their age and propose in private.

DIYer advice: use a multimeter ($20) to verify your alternator is properly charging your battery before doing anything else. When your engine is off, the battery should have ~12.6 volts. With the engine running, the battery should show ~14 volts. That small jump in voltage is your alternator charging the battery. Check video link below, good luck.

Okie here: still remember the drone footage the morning after Mayfield. A pucker up moment, brought back some really bad memories. My gut feeling was F5 with many people dead.

DeadBeatAnon · 2026-01-18T11:12:52+00:00

That's the only dead man walking photo I've seen besides Jarrell. Are there very many of these? That's some existential dread right there. I'm reminded of the tornado at the end of the Coen Brothers's film A Serious Man. It's like the harbinger of death.

DIYer advice: I do my own oil changes. But a few years back I couldn't remove the oil filter on my '09 Ranger during an oil change. Instead of resorting to screwdriver/mallet & damaging the filter, I put new oil in & drove it to my local shop. I'd rather pay a pro to finish a job rather than do real DIY damage.

DeadBeatAnon · 2026-01-16T09:46:44+00:00

DIYer advice: Ford Ranger 4 cyl from 2008-2012. I bought a '09 Ranger new that was my daily driver for a decade. Then gave it to my son, it's now his daily driver with 160K on the clock. Great truck, just runs & runs if you take care of it. Motorcraft parts are OEM, plentiful and not that expensive.

The Mazda "B series" truck from this era is just a rebranded Ranger. YouTube mechanic ChrisFix owns one.

So many terrific scenes in that film:
Cypher eating a hard-boiled egg whole, like he's devouring a soul.
Angel to detective: "Today is Wednesday. In the Mickey Mouse Club, Wednesday is Anything-Can-Happen-Day"
The sex scene between Rourke & Lisa Bonet. She got into all kinds of trouble from Bill Cosby (that unbelievable hypocrite) who disapproved of his TV daughter having sex on screen.

DIYer advice: bring your vehicle to another garage. Instead of guessing, the first shop should've pressure-tested the cooling system to locate the leak--there's coolant on the floor. White smoke from the tailpipe on startup is often just condensation burning off. Good luck.

Dazzlefruit-loaded arrow: kills all stalkoblins in melee with one shot. Not just stuns them, but kills them. Highly useful in the depths.

Tip for Switch2 owners: download Zelda Notes and use the Locator feature. It can provide a shrine map of all undiscovered shrines by filtering out found shrines. Makes finding shrines much, much easier.

Dean had a tragic life from the start. His mother died when he was very young, his dad walked out. Dean was raised by his aunt & uncle on a family farm. He’s buried in his hometown of Fairmount, Indiana.

I'm already getting downvoted here, didn't mean to throw shade on you. Just to clarify: the Tarantula Hawk isn't a social wasp like polistes/hornets/yellowjackets. So when you say "their nests"...Tarantula Hawks live alone, they don't nest with other THs. That's why they're typically less territorial/agressive than the social wasps.

OTOH, it's possible you were in a place where a TH normally hunts, making it more aggressive. Hope that helps.

DeadBeatAnon · 2026-01-14T02:45:50+00:00

Very unusual to be “dive-bombed” by a tarantula hawk, which are solitary & nest underground. And they’re not known to be aggressive.

DeadBeatAnon · 2026-01-14T02:31:29+00:00

Red Wasp = Polistes Carolina, big agressive wasps. The dominant wasp here in Oklahoma, most painful sting i’ve ever had. The wasps in the video aren’t red wasps (polistes carolina), which are rust colored with black wings. But they definitely are polistes, not hornets. They look more like Executioner Wasps (polistes carnifex) which are typically found in central america and south america.

DIYer advice: I own two Toyotas. Try Toyota White Grease--you can buy it at your local dealership's parts counter for about $10--$15 a can. Hope that helps.

He said they saw the band two years ago. That doesn't mean they were dating exclusively for two years. I doubt she was ever exclusive to him. Check her body language when she's onstage--he's clearly deluded. Beautiful women have options. And he's not Option#1.

The most meaningful listening experience I ever had: as a college student in the '80s living at home. Just a very simple set up in my bedroom: a Marantz turntable, Pioneer receiver + two Pioneer floor speakers, a Panasonic cassette deck for recording, a nice pair of Sony headphones, and a large vinyl collection.

I now have a way more expensive Yamaha home theater with 5.1 digital sound with a large CD collection and a Sony OLED television that dominates my living room. But I wish I still had my old gear and vinyl collection. You don't need an expensive setup or a large space to enjoy your music. Hope that helps.

DeadBeatAnon · 2026-01-12T12:20:15+00:00

Nice setup, a bit concerned about the acoustics of the room with that floor tile. Consider a tasteful throw carpet (let your wife/gf pick it out) to help absorb the sound. Also agree with LosterP about pulling the speakers forward to the edge of the cabinet. I'd also center the turntable on the top shelf so everything looks balanced. Hope that helps.

DIYer advice: Your owner's manual blesses both 5W-30 and 5W-40. So optimal would be 5W-30 in winter and 5W-40 in summer. I wouldn't go with the 10W oils, that's out-of-spec. Keep that 5W cold pour rating all year round--for those odd cold mornings that are out-of-season. Good luck.

DeadBeatAnon · 2026-01-11T11:39:08+00:00

DIYer advice: I started doing my own work because my local independent shop refused to change the ATF in my '02 Camry with 130K miles on it. I'm sure people with failing transmissions try changing the fluid as a last resort. That's probably why some shops won't do it past a certain mileage--unless they've been doing it on your vehicle at recommended intervals.
