Yep. I looked it up because the article incorrectly suggests the film makers were fined for using the tone, which doesn't make sense as a film isn't a broadcast. It was actually several cable companies that received the fine for broadcasting a trailer that used the tone.

>The reimagined version will be a single-camera action adventure comedy series set in present day focusing on the descendants of the original heroes, now scattered around the world, who team up for a global treasure hunt.
I see nothing! to do with the original premise.

FYI, a battery can still have plenty of power for lights etc, but not enough to crank the engine enough to start the car. A weak battery usually becomes evident when it is cold because the cold reduces the batteries performance and a cold engine is harder to turn over.
But it's still suspicious to have a stranger come to your door that late for a jump. A weak battery isn't going to cause a running car to break down on the side of the road.

Reply to Scratch & dent appliances by theoldcowpoke
I got my drier from Lowe's S&D section, $300 for a drier with a $900 MSRP that usually gets to $600 during sales. The only damage was a small dent in the front corner, which I put up against a wall anyway. FYI, bring a pickup because they don't deliver S&D and won't sell it unless you can take it immediately. MFG warranty is still valid, but starts from original sales date.
