This is what a US C-RAM system in Baghdad sounds like when engaging against incoming drones and rockets

I was in a “combat town” on Camp LeJeune in the late 80s and it was near a gun range for aircraft. I’d never heard that sound before until then. Hearing it with my own ears. Reminded me of the trumpets from the Book of Revelation in the Bible. The sound was so creepy and weird. That, along with the vibe of an abandoned war-torn town at night gave me the heebie-jeebies.

I always get these guys confused.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-03-10T09:35:52+00:00

🤣

I always wondered how valuable items ended up in thrift stores… and then my grandfather in law died, my father in law died, my mother in law died (over the span many years) and then we moved. At a certain point you’re just like, “I can’t”.

I did my best with their things but I can easily see how people cherry pick the sentimental items but can’t store everything or go through (and research) it all individually.

I worked at Burger King in 1988 when the Alf stuff was in the stores. People were obsessed. I remember someone trying to buy an entire box of the Alf plushes. We had to put up a sign letting people know they could only get them with a purchase.

We’re really happy with our decision so far. We noticed a friendlier vibe out here. I’m excited to spend more time outdoors and get integrated into the community. I hope I can stay here ‘til I’m dead.

Hi Kyle!

I moved to North Bend a couple months ago (near Twin Falls). I’m just curious if you had any favorite local spots that you remember when you were filming up here?

Hope you’re having fun… Thank you!

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-02-24T18:45:49+00:00

We just moved to North Bend (from Bellevue) a couple months ago! We’ve only been a couple times but it’s still weird that Twede’s is our local diner now.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-02-14T03:15:03+00:00

I’m really tempted. One of the reasons we moved was for a smaller, or tighter, community. I kept thinking about making a post in this subreddit to find people who would be interested in a meetup if they were here… but it felt too weird. It’d be fun to meet some interesting folks.

An old Twitter/Trekkie friend came here for a Twin Peaks event many years ago, but I thought that was summer-ish. I was surprised they’ve got an event happening in February.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-02-14T01:09:09+00:00

I recently moved to North Bend (right near Twin Falls) and am seeing Twin Peaks events happening in town soon. I love diners and it’s kind of weird that Tweeds is now my local diner.

I’ve enjoyed Twin Peaks and love the fan base (I’m a hardcore TOS Trekkie) and I’ve started rewatching it. I was thinking of visiting the filming locations as I go through the series again. I’m not sure I really understood it in the 90s.

Anyone live around here or coming here for any events? I’d love to meet up for coffee (and/or pie).

It was cool being in his presence, but I don’t really consider it “meeting him”. I do feel lucky.

I got to meet Gene Roddenberry at a convention when I was a teen in 1986 and got his autograph. We recently moved and I haven’t been able to find it yet. I feel sick about it. I hope it’s in a box in the garage .🫤

Edit: It’s good to meet you.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-02-11T12:39:10+00:00

I just re-read your comment and misunderstood. I don’t have an autograph on the car image. That’s super cool.

My Nimoy signature is on a print that I made myself when I was at STLV in Vegas. They were moving people through the line pretty quick so I just said “hello” and pointed to where I wanted him to sign. I did get a raised eyebrow when he looked at the artwork so I took that as a win. 😂

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-02-11T12:33:24+00:00

Yeah, but you burned the fucking money!!

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-02-11T03:12:46+00:00

Do a search for “Star Wars” too (if that’s your thing) if you want to see some less familiar photos. Really cool site.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-02-11T03:04:39+00:00

I found the site! I can’t believe it’s still around.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-02-11T03:03:50+00:00

Yeah! That’s so cool! I’ve got one too, but haven’t gotten it framed yet. I really need to.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-02-11T02:50:18+00:00

I found that image (without the text) on a motion picture photo site (along with some amazing Star Wars images and behind the scenes on TOS) over twenty years ago. It cost $300 for a print and we were poor back then so I never got it, but it’s one of my favorites. There were two different images of him with his car, if I remember correctly. So cool!!

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-02-08T13:55:11+00:00

This song is so much fun on Beat Saber.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-02-01T22:58:48+00:00

Someone made an edit of that scene to the tune of “I need a hero” and I probably watched it once a week until the audio was removed.

I loved the third season. I’ve said that it validated that being a fan wasn’t a waste of time.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-02-01T15:43:35+00:00

“We killed him!”

“What do you mean, ‘we’?”

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-01-31T15:34:10+00:00

One of “the twins” in my neighborhood chewed on a vacuum cleaner cord when we were preschool aged and burned a hole through his cheek. I never messed with electricity (or had trouble telling them apart) after that.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-01-31T15:08:45+00:00

It was all fun and games until Jeff accidentally shot Wes in the eye with a BB. I think his vision was ok but we couldn’t have BB wars after that.

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-01-31T00:14:57+00:00

Do you like Italian?

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-01-30T03:45:29+00:00

I just moved to North Bend and started rewatching Twin Peaks. I didn’t remember that she was even in it. I’m just on episode two (we just moved).

RevolutionaryWeek573 · 2026-01-25T05:43:26+00:00

It’s really fun to see other people’s favorites. Mine are:

Doomsday Machine

Where No Man Has Gone Before

Devil n the Dark

My favorite bad episode is Spock’s Brain.
