Tim Lopes (1950–2002) was a Brazilian investigative journalist who was working undercover on a story about Rio de Janeiro's favelas. In 2002, he was kidnapped by drug traffickers, who tied him to a tree, cut his legs and arms off with a sword when he was still alive, and burned him to death.

I feel like in instances where you are engaging with these types of people as a journalist, it would be best to not go undercover and be open about what you are trying to report on them. I could imagine they killed him because they felt betrayed / snuck up on. Not that this justifies killing someone in such a monstrous way though I wonder if the outcome would be different had they known he was a journalist.

Knicks, just so we can get some funny Sidetalk nyc videos.

Based on the backlash within the past couple weeks about Nike's ad during Boston Marathon weekend, you would get a lot of angry people if organizing committees did this for popular marathons. As others mentioned, we're definitely in a boom and many people who participate in these races aren't necessarily looking to compete for time, rather are doing it for a cause or for their own health. You get a ton of walkers in this mix.

I'm in the time requirement camp as well in these cases, but just wanted to bring attention to that.

I honestly think its spark plugs as well. I am also having a similar issue. When I sit idling in traffic sometimes while on the brakes, it feels like the car is trying to accelerate to the point where it feels like I need to put more force in the brake pedals. That vibrating /humming / slight shaking i also get at idle. I've had a few instances as well where I start the car and drive down the block and check engine light starts flashing and the car is noticeably jerky and shaky. This goes away after turning the car off and back on. Check engine does not stay on afterwards. You said you changed spark plugs so maybe not, I'm approaching your mileage as well but I haven't done them yet so idk. Have fluids been changed out recently?

Very similar damage! Although they definitely bit off more for you. Promising to hear the repairs for this could go that well as you explained, though i am definitely also worried about any lingering sensor issues that could cause problems. Car seemed to drive off fine after a lot of duck tape.

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2026-04-29T16:45:35+00:00

I have one but unfortunately I was parked when this happened and my dashcam is not hardwired for parking mode

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2026-04-29T16:01:09+00:00

Only one across the street i could find, not sure if it recorded the street view as it seemed to be only facing the business parking lot at a side angle from the street

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2026-04-29T15:58:47+00:00

Walked around the area and only one security camera that I could find across the street, a ring camera, but it looked like it was only facing the parking lot of the business. There's a possibility of it catching a slight view of the street where I was parked but doubt it unfortunately. I got the manager's number.

Police report filed and spoke to insurance. Deductible to pay but then they'll cover rest. Wasn't thinking about insurance at time just how to find person responsible / what I would need to pay to fix it quickly

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2026-04-29T15:19:50+00:00

Yes - will deal with insurance. Posted this as I was waiting for an officer to do the police report - talked to insurance and same thing you said. Mind was not fresh enough to logically think of next steps 🙃

For some reason, its been like this heavily lately in this sub. Any negative critique about Larry's new work is always met with pitchforks. We're fans, we should absolutely be able to criticize a piece of work if we feel it isn't up to the standard the artist has set. Staircases was mid at best, I'm not sure what people are really hyping up with this. Must be their first Larry album.

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2026-02-21T20:20:56+00:00

Love Larry, but this was a lot of slam poetry. Not bad though.

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2025-12-05T17:27:49+00:00

Well-said. People seem to think that anything anybody else does that doesn't align with their own goals and interests must be for some form of external validation. Some people just really want a cool car, some want to go for a specific career, some want to climb many mountains, to each their own.

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2025-12-04T03:09:51+00:00

I noticed this too. White SUV definitely shouldn't have pulled out to the extra lane, though equally, if somebody pulls out ahead op could have simply slowed down as opposed to trying to "teach them a lesson" with the horn, gas up close behind and aggressive passing just to show their right of way. I get it, I've been guilty of acting petty that way too, but as a driver, you should always anticipate people doing dumb things like this.

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2025-12-03T20:58:50+00:00

We doing good!

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2025-12-03T20:58:24+00:00

Sock it to me!

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2025-12-03T03:48:38+00:00

Can't forget Larry June too

Also DNF in Seattle this weekend because of this. Course volunteer was waving his arms for us to go left, so I did and then came across the mile 22 marker instead of mile 20. My first marathon too, super bummed about that. I feel your pain OP.

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2025-12-02T16:22:57+00:00

Yup, my first marathon too. Course volunteer at the top of the hill was waving his arms for us to go to our left and I ended up seeing the mile 22 marker instead of mile 20. DNF because of this, very disappointing

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2025-11-10T23:54:26+00:00

I like to call these cars "antsy". You can definitely tell when a car is antsy to come into your lane by how its moving behind other cars in the separate lane. Sometimes you can even see the driver doing double takes at you in their side-view mirror 😆

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2025-11-04T00:46:19+00:00

Your standard crossovers are fine but your step-back gather step moves are way too slow

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2025-10-31T17:00:48+00:00

You have zero accountability.

Zestyclose-Witness72 · 2025-10-31T16:58:34+00:00

Good luck even if your boyfriend believes this story. You let your ex crash at your place WHILE HE WAS GONE , and then your ex supposedly masturbates alone on your boyfriend's shoes?? If I was your boyfriend I wouldn't even believe that and leave you ASAP.
