[MBZ] OT - Bad Sci-Fi Movie

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

On the local OTA station that’s a national chain called “METV” there’s a show 
that runs on Saturday night called “Svenghoolie”. It’s out of Chicago and has 
apparently been a staple around there for decades (Rick?) “Svenghoolie” shows 
really bad or legacy horror and sci-fi movies and provides background and even 
a little narration during the bumpers for comedic effect.

Anyway, we try to watch it and have it on our OTA DVR (“Tablo”) so we can watch 
it at our leisure. This past Saturday’s offering was absolutely campy to the 
point where we loved every bit of it, *and* as an added bonus it had “Dr. 
McCoy” from Star Trek (the actor) and Janet Leigh ("Psycho”). Lots of other 
lesser known actors were it this as well. It was called “Night of the Lepus”.

I don’t want to ruin the plot in case anyone watches it, but in a nutshell some 
whacky things take place when some ranchers try to eradicate the rabbits on 
their lands, and the result is rabbits of a massive scale and size who overrun 
the area and become ruthless killers. The special effects are awesome.

The current unrest and unemployment crisis is having an impact upon owners of 
pretty cars, as well as last years models.  I was trolling SEA CL and found a 
giant spike in people selling off some really nice classics (maybe Grandpa’s 
collections) and things purchased last summer and fall that they can no longer 
afford.  A number of AMG and McClaren, along with loaded out trucks.  It was 
easy to tell that many were very recent postings due to the blazing orange sky.

I think it ended up around $130 or so.  The seller couldn't ship it at the 
advertised price, wanted another $25 or so.  I decided to pay that and have 
something rather than nothing.  Still haven't used it yet so no idea on 
performance, but the design looks good.

Re: [MBZ] In case you don’t hear from me again

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Yeah, it is a little early for us, as we usually take a trip to Indianapolis 
see family in early October every year. Niece’s wedding dictated this trip. 
However, it will still be a welcome change from the hellish nightmare of 
Florida this time of year. Especially nice now because the wife’s brother moved 
over form Illinois to escape taxes and such so it makes for a much better trip 
logistically, too. Everyone now lives within a few miles of each other, except 
my sister, who just moved to her retirement home on Lake Santee, so it’s super 
convenient and cuts down on having to drive to Champaign-Urbana and back.

We put in Marvin windows when we remodeled our house in Los Alamos.

They had a unique window, which we needed to use to have equal lights in
a fire-escape window in a space narrower than needed for the two lights 
to be escape rated in a brick house.

When opened, the center vertical bar went with the left-hand light and
the entire space was open. It was also very good for ventilating the
house (we did not need and did not have air conditioning).

You had a vehicle which had problems, you could not find the correct
manifold, yet you sold it for a $2k profit?

How did that come about? It would make an interesting story.

The only reason you need a CDL and a DOT medical and need to comply with
DOT regs is because you are using it in commerce. If its GVWR were over
26,000 lbs, you'd also need a commercial license plate.

Is that your SUV on it in the first picture?

I actually like shifting the gears on our 13-speed Kenworth W900.

 I did a 40,000 mile service on my 2015 VW Jetta TDI last week. Oil change, air 
filter, fuel filter, cabin air filter. Pretty easy all around, I even managed 
to not get oil all down my elbow when doing the oil filter.
I was a little nervous about the fuel filter, I don't have the proper VCDS 
cable to talk to the computer to prefill everything. I cycled the key 5 or 6 
times which I don't think was enough, it still started hard. Could in part have 
been because the fuel tank was really low. I forgot that before starting the 
job...

Mercedes content. Change your cabin air filters. They are usually SEVERELY 
neglected. There *may* be cabin filters available for your vehicle that are 
HEPA rated. Although HEPA filters may stop most virus particles, they will stop 
most allergens.  Don't forget to change the carbon filter also. If you've ever 
been stuck behind a livestock semi, you'll be grateful.

Brought it down to discount tire this morning to get it repaired. It must’ve 
been a rough weekend for tires because I got here 30 minutes early and there 
was already 12 people waiting. Now, at opening time, there’s about 35 people 
here. And there is going to be a fight. I may start selling tickets.

I mean you can't be sure of what was done unless you did it yourself, or
at least observed. But it sounds like they did it right if they did all
that. Is it holding air pressure?

Re: [MBZ] Does This Look Right?

[G Mann via Mercedes]

The correct tire shop repair is to plug the hole, trim the plug inside the
tire and install a reinforced patch over the plug and injury, thus ensuring
an airtight seal that will last the life of the tire.
This repair required dismount , repair, remount and rebalance...
I can presume all that was done in good order since a tire shop did it.

You had a vehicle which had problems, you could not find the correct
manifold, yet you sold it for a $2k profit?

How did that come about? It would make an interesting story.

The only reason you need a CDL and a DOT medical and need to comply with
DOT regs is because you are using it in commerce. If its GVWR were over
26,000 lbs, you'd also need a commercial license plate.

Is that your SUV on it in the first picture?

Many Japanese vehicles have been badged with the names of domestic

I actually like shifting the gears on our 13-speed Kenworth W900.

I also like the picture of your (daughter?) and her dog. There is room on
the truck bed for all kinds of things!

Was that picture taken at your house or a park?

Re: [MBZ] Monday Morning Excitement

[Rick Knoble via Mercedes]

Because he and several others on this list believe the data, statistics, facts 
and figures about the current "situation" and do not believe all of the hype. 
We will leave it at that.

Mercedes content. Change your cabin air filters. They are usually SEVERELY 
neglected. There *may* be cabin filters available for your vehicle that are 
HEPA rated. Although HEPA filters may stop most virus particles, they will stop 
most allergens.  Don't forget to change the carbon filter also. If you've ever 
been stuck behind a livestock semi, you'll be grateful.

It’s probably a plug patch. It has a patch inside with a plug that protrudes 
out they the hole. Looks good.

They’re really plugs, not patches. They look OK but I would expect there to be

It seems the majority are waiting for repairs.. Phoenix is still very
active in building construction, and apparently the workers never bother to
close the tailgate on their trucks so they sow nails and screws down the
road as they drive to the job site and back.
The tire shop is of course a magnet to collect everyone who absorbed one of
those land traps into their tire.

Since the Plandemic... I have noticed a lot fewer cars with custom and
expensive wheel/tire sets... I think disposable income is now more closely
held.

It’s a combination. More repair than anything else I’d say. I think the 
pandemic has exacerbated the fact that people can’t deal with people anymore. 
People don’t know how to interact civilly.

In a riot discussion a couple of months ago, I learned that possession 
of caltrops is actually a crime in most states. (I also learned that if 
you want to make some, small diameter brake line is much better than 
nails)


Are all these people waiting for repairs, or to buy 24s with their

Sorry it didnt work out for you Scott.

I just updated mine yesterday. Followed the instructions in the thread and
it worked fine. I am on Spectrum cable. I run a cloud key but I do all this
from inside, so that should not matter. Just putty in and cut and paste the
commands. I am not super savvy about this stuff so cannot really comment on
your issues.

Yeah, I did all of those - the Visible V8, Visible Man, Visible Woman (!), etc. 
I really enjoyed researching the visible people ones and painting the organs

Re: [MBZ] OT: Internet filtering

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

Karl, et al., Wanted to give feedback how this turned out.  
At first, I tried to use OpenDNS which is super-simple; just point the router 
to the OpenDNS IPs.  After MUCH frustration, I discovered that Spectrum/Time 
Warner (commercial account) hijacks DNS requests (no matter how the router DNS 
is set) and points them to Time Warner servers.  It may be possible to opt out 
of this hijack situation but so far I haven't found a Spectrum tech that 
can/will opt me out. 
I had a spare Unifi Security Gateway (USG) on hand so I'm using that.  The USG 
OS (same as EdgeRouter) includes SquibGuard which does DNS filtering.  In the 
USG, SquibGuard uses SSH command line instructions, at least until the Unifi 
Controller GUI can do this (maybe not in my lifetime).  
In retrospect, an EdgeRouter would have been a better choice because the USG 
requires a Unifi Controller software patch (.json file) or the filtering setup 
won't survive provisioning cycle.  
Thanks for the help but I was boxed-in by Spectrum and the existing Unifi 
hardware and that limited my options.
Scott
