Our troops on the ground supporting Operation Anaconda are doing some tough work under tough circumstances.  Several have been killed or injured in the last few days.  Lets all keep them in our thought and prayers.

they are really brave people who are risking their lives so that we can live ours, and i am very grateful for that

 

 

operation anaconda, sounds like the anaconda plan used during the civil war by the union to take over the mississippi river and control confederate ports...i wonder if thats where the operation anaconda name came from

I agree with the sentiments here - keep all our troops in our thoughts :devil::D

 

I saw part of an interview today on CNN, I think, talking with the parents of one of the troops who died recently.  The Father said his son died doing what he loved and what he believed in, and the son knew he was well-trained, ready, and surrounded by the best people in the world for this kind of job.  Made me sad but proud too.

I am very proud and honored that I will be serving alongside these and all of our brave military personnel as soon as I complete ROTC.

 

God Bless Them All

OUr military is the greatest in the world and have no fear, after what they did to a bunch of our best, they will pay the ultimate price.

 

As we sit here on this, due to our carpet, bunker busters and daisy cutter bombing, we've wiped out around 500 of them in one fell swoop.  What other country in the world (aside from the U.S.S.R.) comes up with such creative weaponry to kill dirtbags.  :devil:

 

If they aren't being turned into kibble by our smart bombs (smarter than them I may add), they are being smoked out of their mud huts and caves, and when they poke their turbans out of the hole they are getting picked off one by one by our snipers!  It's truly a thing of beauty.  :D

Yes, it truly is a very, very beautiful thing isn't it.   :devil:

 

I look very much forward to getting to "play" with some of that creative American weaponary.  :D

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?
