Get where @claireo67 is coming from. Birdemic's awkward pauses and that terrible green screen are a different kind of funny. Watched it once with a buddy who kept rewinding the bird attack scenes to laugh at how the actors just stand there. The Room works better for me because the dialogue is so bizarre it turns into a game of "what will he say next." Both are solid picks, just depends on if your group wants to laugh at the acting or the effects.

My buddy Marcus put that mesh on his basement wall last summer after his first one crumbled in the freeze. He texted me a photo of the new wall with the mesh in it and said it felt like wrapping the whole thing in a seatbelt. Dude swears by it now, won't even talk about doing a wall without it.

My uncle had a pigeon land on his transformer box out in the backyard, @kelly.dylan, and it caused a whole neighborhood blackout for like 4 hours. The thing that worked for us was getting one of those plastic owl decoys and moving it around every few days so the birds don't get used to it. We also trimmed back the tree branches that were hanging over the power lines so they couldn't perch right there anymore. It sounds dumb but it cut down on the zaps by a lot once we kept the area clear of easy landing spots.

Niman's spots have always been loud though, even before the coworking trend hit.

Wait, are you saying the anti-seize made the plug shoot out, or the lack of it? I've been using a light coat of anti-seize on aircraft plugs for 15 years and never had one back out. Every A&P I've talked to says the real issue is people slathering it on too thick or using the wrong kind. Torque specs for dry threads are already low on aluminum heads, and adding anti-seize just means you gotta back it off 10-15%. If you go by the book with anti-seize on those Lycoming cylinders, you'll actually end up under-torquing them and they'll loosen up from vibration. I think the old timer might've been right for his situation but it's not one size fits all.
