Dang, Zan........... what a bad night. Glad you're OK. I haven't been even close to an accident in 22+ years.
I'd Google that particular valve. That's one thing I've never taken apart. Usually right is to tighten, but one in a while not.
 
Highup, I seem to attract idiot drivers somehow. In either 2014 or 2015 an old lady backed in to the side of my car in a parking lot, then lied to the cops and said it was my fault.
Then in 2016 I was driving through an intersection on a green light when someone ran a red.
I've had a few near misses multiple times since then, and now this.

I love Samsung TVs although I do not allow any of my "smart" devices to connect to my internet. I know some of them act as wiretaps, but I don't really care about that. I just don't want them using up my data. I don't trust them not to try to do updates. I've got an old 32" flat screen Samsung with the speakers on the front. It's not as nice as newer TVs but it has all of the ports I need and it's fine for watching a bit of TV.

In the living room we still have an old Sony projection TV with huge speakers built in as a stand underneath them (it's one of those 240lb one-piece units). Motherboard went on it a few years ago but we got someone out to fix it & it's been fine ever since.
 
I'm not fond of the curved TVs either. The picture doesn't seem as good if I'm standing off to the side so it really seems to be best for the person just directly in the middle & while I like curves, it's just not as good as a flat screen for me.
I do like the new sound technology where instead of being surrounded by speakers, you can speakers & adjust them so they bounce sound off of walls or objects in the room to get the surround sound experience. I saw a JVC tv in the store that did that and it was pretty cool.
I still remember my father got a very fancy (back in the day) surround system with multiple speakers mounted around the room. I think the first thing we watched that could really utilize those speakers was The Hunt For Red October. Which reminds me of when I went to the theater with my father to watch U-571. When they were doing the Morse code, my father was whispering to me what the messages were.

I forgot to mention that the videos are now working properly. Not sure what happened, but it seems to have sorted itself out. Maybe kitty stepped on the right key combo again.

Speaking of kitties, I was eating and one of my cats very proudly jumped up on the table with a mouse clutched in her teeth. She let me see it and then basked in the praise & petting. I brought her some canned food (some kind of chicken pate) and she kept sniffing it, but didn't want to drop her mouse. I put the pate in a bowl so she set the mouse on top of it and ate around it. She ate part of the mouse for dessert before losing interest. When she looked away I disposed of it. She's a good little mouser.

My Dad drove trucks for Coca Cola and Grandma's cookies. He was content with a transistor radio attached to the sun visor with rubber bands. :D
