    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    So agree with this.....
    But, after recently doing the timing belt & water pump replacement on my 96 3000GT I'm now a huge fan of the youtube how to videos.
    For some reason seeing a video of the actual parts and procedures helps me retain so much more than the pics in books.

    My first car was a ‘74 Audi Fox that was not running. It was gifted to me, “if I could fix it”. I remember riding my bike back and forth to the library and the auto parts store. At the library, I’d make copies of the pertinent pages out of the Chilton manual, then to the auto parts store, then home. I kept that up for about a month, and then I had a running car:-)

    I completely agree on the YouTube - I’m spoiled now. There’s no substitute for seeing someone else do it, and seeing the shortcuts and trouble spots along the way.

    I saw that along with an extended series of other animal encounters. I suspect they are all AI generated. One of the series has a bear come up to the porch with a cat on it's back. Another had a mountain lion getting scared away. No way that is all happening.

    My wife thinks AI is getting out of hand. I showed her a video of a wife making a sandwich for her husband, and she told me to go make it myself. :D

    I used to always buy one of these for every car I owned. Yes, sometimes youtube is pretty handy!

    David Attenborough voiceover:
    Protective colouration is an evolutionary advantage. Like a herd of zebras at the watering hole, when a flock of these airplanes gather at an airport, they're protected from bites from parasitic flies by their bold stripes. Refreshed with fuel, passengers, and trays of tasteless snacks, the plucky 'planes are free to go on about their travels without taking ill from the effects of tsetse flies and other vermin.

    Saw this today @ hifihaven.

    I found it amusing for two very different reasons.
    1) the joke.
    2) the careful mutilation of the C word so that the (perhaps AI-powered) bots keeping an eye out for bad words on the internet cannot recognize it.
    B)
    Unfortunately, I think that AI is probably just playing games with us to lull us into a false sense of... umm... security. Kind of like the way a cat plays with a fresh-caught mouse. :#

    Saw this one @ ASR, too... for some reason, it's reminding me of somebody here... I just cannot think of whom...
