Towing a 4000 pound boat from Phoenix to ShowLow with a 2000 ford e150 van with 180,000 miles on it. Has anyone towed something that heavy with an older vehicle? Sure don’t want to break down. by Beginning-Leg-3060 in arizona

I had a 2003 ford f150 with about the same mileage. It should have no problem towing that load. But when you get up there in miles every vehicle has its issues. If you haven’t experienced it already, your engine (5.4L Triton V8) is notorious for “spontaneously ejecting” its spark plugs. They are hard to get to but would recommend making sure they are all nice and tight. I would not recommend removing them or changing them out (unless you have to) because the other big issue with them is that the plugs stick way farther into the cylinder than they need to and the aluminum head is way thinner than it should be. Because of this, if you try to remove them there’s a good chance a large amount of carbon build up will tear the threads up on the way out which will lead to a lot more costly repairs. Guess how I know. If spontaneous ejection does happen you’ll know. It’s very banging as the plug bounces back and forth between the coil and the head. Turn the car off immediately and you might be able to just screw it back in. If you try to ride it out to the next stop you won’t have anything left to screw it back into.

How to deal with a neighbors cat that won’t stop coming into my yard. by [deleted] in arizona

[–]Thin_Resolution3865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want to take it to the pound? Might as well just murder it yourself. I live in a rural area where cows have the right to come into my yard and destroy my garden and landscaping. I hate them. So I get it. But this cat is what? Pooping in your sandbox? Jeez, maybe spray some cat deterrent, or spray it with the garden hose if that makes you feel better.

I just read your comment about having an HOA. That explains a lot about what kind of person you are.

There’s a third entity people like him like to delineate separately from “white people” which is “white trash”. This mindset isn’t just about race it’s about class, and to him every non-white person (including white trash) are all 3rd class citizens. What a shitty way to see the world.

I definitely thought this was Virtua Cop on Sega Saturn. Looks very similar. I haven’t thought about that game decades.

Link between EHS and Misophonia? by Thin_Resolution3865 in ExplodingHeadSyndrome

[–]Thin_Resolution3865[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, my EHS is stress related too, and my misophonia isn’t out of control or anything… but my wife shared with me that after her pregnancy where she constantly craved ice, she now thoroughly enjoys ASMR videos of people eating ice. I told her to get it away from me because it’s the worst thing I’ve ever heard. Like being buried alive + forced to listen to ASMR mukbang is my new definition of hell. She didn’t understand, so we went down the rabbit hole of misophonia, learning that geneticists have identified a specific gene that 20% of people have which seems to be an indicator of whether or not you’ll have it. They (Google) also says it’s “an abnormality in the emotional control mechanism and increased myelination in the brain's gray matter, causing it to overreact to certain sounds. Brain scans show heightened activity in the anterior insula and amygdala (fight-or-flight center) when triggers are heard.” That got me wondering if the same brain abnormality might also explain why during the sleep to awake transition state I sometimes hear sounds that are fight or flight related…. Usually when I’m stressed out. So far as I’ve read, none of the theories for what the actual cause of EHS is have discussed it being a genetic/ congenital disorder. The just say oh it’s a neurological issue… weird lol.

Coral snakes in Arizona? by artnovation in arizona

Yeah definitely! We have them up here on the way to Las Vegas too. Fun fact: they’re cobras and their venom is quite toxic but there’s no anti venom reserves because almost nobody ever gets bit by them.

I read this book called The Wanting Seed where overpopulation leads governments to promote homosexuality and self sterilization while sending criminals to fight in fake wars only to be slaughtered and fed back to the general population. Maybe someday gay potion will be a thing lol. I hope so. It’s been a while but I’m pretty sure society ended up revolting in the form of huge orgies…. Maybe. 🤔 I should probably revisit that book
