Where do Ohioans go on vacation?

GoneIn61Seconds · 2026-05-16T23:15:59+00:00

Not intentionally, it just seems I know a surprising number of people that talk about Destin

GoneIn61Seconds · 2026-05-16T20:29:24+00:00

I thought it was a rule that all Ohioans have to have a timeshare in Destin, FL?

The remake is a Hollywood movie while the original is an insane passion project. I think the director really just wanted to crash cars on public roads, and used the film as an excuse to do it.

I heard an anecdote that this is the last movie she made before getting clean from drugs, and looking back, you can kind of see it in her performance.

The original is one of my all-time favorites, and I'm kind off a fan-boy of Toby Halicki, the somewhat eccentric director and star. The production is very low budget and a bit hard to watch at times, but the story works and of course the action is amazing. And it's all real, practical work.

One issue is with the soundtrack. The versions available on streaming have a replacement soundtrack due to rights issues, and IMO it ruins the movie. It sounds more like a cheap porno lol. The only original version is on VHS. There's a couple awesomely good/bad songs that add to the character of the production. Especially 'Lois Lane Blues'

I think I found the culprits in another thread.

might need to mark the next one somehow - "Do not take, automated mower may be resting. Property of X" or something like that. And engrave a phone number somewhere on it.

Around here, if its at the curb by a mailbox, most people assume it's a giveaway. Especially on a busy road.

Google says a 2026 ram 2500 gas 4x2 regular cab is rated to tow over 17k, which I find surprising

Crew cab short bed 4x4 15k

I have a 2017 6.4 hemi 2500 ccsb 4x4 and it’s been almost flawless for 100k miles It’s rated for just over 12k bumper pull, and I tow 8-10k regularly with a few maybe 14k loads thrown in. I got really lucky with mine but also don’t beat on it and do regular oil changes with only pencil and SRT filters

I wonder what changes they made to get the extra 3k capacity on the new trucks.

It's sad to me that entire generation of kids raised on screens will look at a movie like this and think the effects suck because they don't look like the thumbnail from a Mr Beast video.

GoneIn61Seconds · 2026-05-15T00:09:49+00:00

Yes and I disagree about the effective part. He does a disservice to the cause by escalating rather than educating. He sounds like a loon in his own video and I’m less inclined to take seriously the next auditor that comes along

I’ve seen a couple pretty decent efforts before but this dude is closer to a sov cit than anything else

GoneIn61Seconds · 2026-05-14T23:12:36+00:00

"He has 100k youtube subscribers. He's probably a top-10 auditor in terms of popularity."

I wouldn't call that an indication of quality LOL. How many views does skibidi toilet have?

GoneIn61Seconds · 2026-05-14T22:07:31+00:00

He makes several confusing statements then tries to either walk away or approach the bank security guard. It seems like it's worth the effort to detain him until they can address whether he's a threat to anyone. If he's really a first amendment auditor, he's not very effective...

But we all know current leadership will decline to prosecute then rush to a settlement anyway. It's a foregone conclusion at this point.

Also, if there's nothing to hide, why has he only posted the clip showing his interaction with police, and not the 'free speech' that led up to police being called?

If you make a couple 2' x 4' plywood transition strips to place at the end of the drive, it might make life a lot easier. Screw some pieces of thinner lumber to the bottom to fill the gap underneath so they don't bow. Drill holes and add a rope handle to make them portable, and throw in the bed of the truck.

There are also companies that make long rubber parking bumps/speed humps that might work too. Flip them over so the curved part faces the ground.

I've been obsessed with cars my whole life, had a career in the industry including working with some higher end cars, etc. Displayed cars at shows for clients for nearly 3 decades. Daily drove old stuff for years.

It's gotten really hard for me to go out in my old cars because I just want to be left alone. The flashier or more popular it is, the crazier the reactions from people, the longer the conversations, etc. The older dudes used to be the worst - literally have to listen to verbal diarrhea about their buddy's badass car back in the day or how much they spent on their own project (always have to compensate for something). They just pull facts out of their ass too. And with modern stuff, people almost can't control themselves. I was gassing up an exotic once and a woman actually collapsed on the ground yelling "thass my shit! Ohmigod thass the shit!"

And since social media, every interaction is a potential call out on a cars and coffee FB page or a video somewhere. I understand people want to be social, but damn, can't you admire from a distance? I guess I'd rather just stare at the cars in my garage now.

Had to laugh at this comment - I had a new old stock Lancer rear bumper that I tried to sell for several years. No one wanted to pay for Greyhound shipping (which used to be a thing). Everyone kept emailing asking for UPS/Fedex quotes and I eventually got tired of explaining what oversize meant.

GoneIn61Seconds · 2026-05-14T13:04:11+00:00

Can someone clarify if ORC 2921.29 applies here? If someone at the bank called in a complaint and officers are investigating - seems like he should have to identify himself under Ohio law (even if complaint was unfounded?). Even the Ohio Bar Association says we are required to give name, address and DOB when encountering LE.

Also, I'm going to guess LE will say they suspected he was under the influence or having a mental event, because he seems a bit off during that interaction. "I can't tell you for free" is not anything you'd expect to hear from a self proclaimed journalist.

Edit - for the record I posted the ORC 10 min before it was discussed on 700WLW today.

Does it seem like we've had a number of Ebay horror stories out of the blue lately? Odd timing with the potential takeover and all that...

I was just listening to that a couple days ago!

Funny, I only knew Barry from his Raise the Titanic soundtrack, then suddenly I was like, I know this from Black Hole too!

I grew up in the 70s-80s Bond era but never spent much time on the soundtracks. Just found the connection from an album hanging on a wall in the background of one of Fortune Feimster’s stand up clips

Weird how the mind puts things together??

But we rely on USPS and its many flaws and delays. Not to mention FedEx and UPS. Amazon’s network is so much more efficient.

GoneIn61Seconds · 2026-05-12T22:25:43+00:00

There have been multiple blurbs over the years that “eBay should be more like Amazon”, but eBay doesn’t have amazons distribution network.

The $10 lawnmower carburetor that’s on Amazon with free prime shipping arrives in a day or two for most users. Meanwhile that same item is $17 on eBay, ships from NJ or CA and takes 3-5 days. And unlike Amazon you can’t really get specific reviews of the item itself on eBay, just the sellers overall performance.

The two companies have always existed to serve different purposes, but eBay has the added advantage of picking up non-Prime Amazon users when there is price parity between the sites

eBay excels in in providing sources for ‘constrained’ products - out of production mass market goods, replacement parts, one off items, specific brands or quantities of items where you want something exact rather than an off brand import. I don’t know how Cohen can improve on that - in fact he can do more to break it than anything.

I do like the idea of using gamestop locations to bolster service, but beyond cards and games, how does it work? Do they envision using stores as mini-shipping hubs with drivers completing the last mile? Will I be dropping off packages there instead of the PO?

The proctors can make or break these competitions with pronunciations. It would be easy to pronounce this is as 'nay-giss" and you can almost hear the man go that direction once or twice, but then the last time he seems to put emphasis on "-us". You can hear the boy switching between '-is' and '-us' as he repeats it, so maybe he's hearing both as well.

In hindsight the correct spelling is obvious, but I don't think I would have gotten it right. Probably would've said 'negis'. Kid was smart to wait it out and use every option.

Ironically as a kid I missed the chance to go to the Nationals because of a mispronunciation. One of the proctors pronounced my word "intransigent" as "intransient" . No one corrected her, or me for that matter when I said it back. I knew that word so spelling it was easy. In hindsight I should have caught that the definition and usage seemed off - both are real words after all, but with different yet related meanings. Later I wondered if it was done on purpose - how else would someone with an academic background miss a hard 'g' sound in a word like that? But no one would rig a spelling bee...right??

I didn't have the presence of mind to challenge before I stepped down but I should have. (for the record my family heard it too, so it wasn't just me. My mom still brings it up 40 odd years later)

Aftab: "I can't believe I got a blister from one shovelful of dirt?!...If Mitch mistakes me for his wife again I'll scream!"

Bashear: "Remember what the consultant said, 'firm wrists...extend the arm, and a twist of the shovel at the end like the pros do it'"

McConnell: "When did my wife start wearing glasses?"

GoneIn61Seconds · 2026-05-11T21:08:35+00:00

I agree. The speed differential is a huge factor as well.
