IF I GET QUARANTINED FOR TWO WEEKS WITH MY WIFE AND I DIE...

I ASSURE YOU IT WAS NOT THE VIRUS THAT KILLED ME


They’ll be lots of births in nine months and divorces.

I’m wondering. Remember H1-N1? Mass hysteria? Stock Market going crazy? Who’s going to make money? Who’s pushing the most hysteria?

I work in a gov't office in a secret underground undisclosed location, as they say.  No, really.  We received a briefing from an epidemiologist in Washington State.  He said that if you put someone in

My wife has Cystic Fibrosis and I can tell you first hand that they are treating this very differently than the flu or pneumonia.  It is much more serious for the elderly and those with specific pre-exiting conditions.  We have constant contact with her nurses and doctors regarding her condition and where the current cases are in relation to us.  

Sorry to hear that about your wife. She would be considered one of the high risk individuals. Hope everyone stays safe & at least relatively healthy.

There’s no doubt they are treating this very differently.

A little light hearted humor disclaimer. Do to the new virus. The US election will be postponed for a year. We feel the two remaining democratic presidential candidates are not going to get ample time to state their positions. In all fairness.

So right now, all borders with our neighbouring countries are closed. I wanted to visit relatives living in germany, but I am not allowed to leave the country anymore. All schools/universities are closed. Bars and Restaurants have a 50 person limit, but more and more cantons are shutting down these places completely. All Ski resorts are closed and all public places are closed. Normally, if you`re on sick leave, you need a doctors note after three days. The government has risen the limit to 5 days, to free up capacities in hospitals. Also, most of the companies are strongly enforcing that you stay at home if you`re not feeling well, to avoid shutting down entire parts of the company because of quarantine. They also "mobilized" parts of the military (only medical troops and civilan service). But all in all, no chaos or whatsoever. Everything is just a little more complicated and because there is nothing anymore to do, it`s a little boring. But finally, I`ve got the time to play some videogames, read a book and do some work on my cars.

We have been eating out the last several days, no lines!

 

I have been stopping by a local store every 10 days waiting for a specific ammo to restock, and went in yesterday and the popular calibur ammo was sparse, and a Scottish guy was saying he came from Academy where he saw a line of 50 people at the gun purchase counter.

 

My wife said at the hospital she works at (it's a BIG one) the staff had to take all the disinfectants out of patients rooms because the were getting stolen.

 

If people haven't, listen to the infectious disease expert that broke it down on the Rogan podcast, lot of good info there

 

They need to stop closing schools, this virus looks to be less dangerous for children than the flu, so why burden the economy so much by closing schools?

 

I wonder how much of the drama is getting inflated to get manufacturing brought back here.

I never thought of it that way. I was more concerned about the medication being produced there. Maybe this will make China more proactive next time so it wouldn’t be so wide spread. Eventually everyone will probably get it and possibly build immunity like H1-N1. And of course bringing more manufacturers back home or to places along with China wouldn’t be bad either. Being controlled by China or anyone else wouldn’t be a good thing.

Well it's a strategic issue at least. China is building more warships this year than the British Navy operates. Imagine a WWII scenario like what the USA did, convert every factory to build tanks, planes, etc.

To think the U.S and others gave them the money to be able to do that. I wouldn’t mind pay a little more money for products so people can earn a decent wage no matter where products are made. Especially friendly nations or here.

Crazy stuff... Hoping after it's all said and done more people keep some more food and supplies in their homes, we bring back more manufacturing from china, especially our meds and medical supplies and we really move away from globalization... I'm all for sharing resources within the civilized world but, these shit holes like China need to get cut outta the equation...

Wondering how this will affect gas prices, no one is traveling, or really going anywhere, so the demand for fuel will be low going into spring and maybe summer.

 

Will the oil companies make up for loses with price increases?

Last week,Putin asked aramco to cut production,they said no and flooded Europe with 25$a barrel,Brent crude, keeping the purchasing with aramco,many us companies can't survive at that price,so some will shut down in future, supply will decrease,prices will prop back up,but,yikes,to what amount

What positions are those?  Socialist, semi-communist Socialist?  I have to admit because I do follow both sides just not your FOLLOWING BLIND TYPE.  I have never seen a worse Party and gaggle of individuals to choose from EVER...I am not joking at all.  I don't know how a honest Person even a Democrat can or would vote for either candidate.

Times have definitely changed,. Now it appears that the left have become Viruses, consuming the healthy. I’ve got neighbors that have moved into my neighborhood from California and absolutely love Sanders promising free stuff. They don’t work and live off if their small inheritance.

Today they asked me why I have to own trucks and SUV’s, I replied with “why do you care!” Interesting enough, the husband drives his mothers old 300E Mercedes and wife drives and old ford that both inherited from their parents. Geez, where would they be if their parents couldn’t afford even those old cars cause if Bernie had his way everyone would be driving a paper kite and he’d get a 4th house added to his portfolio.

Biden, he’s a wack job, dementia all the way along with sociopath.

      Weird click noise when revving my truck?

      By JimmyB4 · Posted

      Hello Guys I'm new to the form,         I just put a 7-inch Rough Country lift on my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I also put a Borla exhaust on it. But I noticed when I'm in park or in neutral and then I rev my truck up really quick there is a bad click noise and I think it's coming from the motor somewhere. Anyways I got a video of it I will attach below I was just wondering if you guys think its rod knock or lifter tick or something like that because I know the AFM kind of made the lifters weak on these trucks.       Thanks!!!!! RIP - Chevy 5.3 IMG_6043.mov

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We’ll have to agree to disagree. I didn’t experience or know anyone who had a decent car after 100K miles in the 60s through the 80s that were daily commuter vehicles. Unless they were collector vehicles. Of course things cost more due to inflation. But we also make more money. The biggest money drains these days are things people think they need today versus what we require back in the day. Like cell phones and internet as examples. Another example is where you live. Cost of living varies from state to state. I would need twice the money to live in NJ vs Texas in retirement. The car you recently purchased was less than my first car with inflation at 3000$ in 1973. I didn’t have air, electric windows, cruise etc. Purchasing power is equivalent, you just have to do the research.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By newdude · Posted

      Sierra HD Pro:   - If you want a power driver's seat on the Pro, you can't get it.  You have to go to SLE.   - Factory remote start?  Can't get it on any of the Sierra Pro trim (1500 or HD).  You have to go SLE.     - 7 inch radio has limitations for replacement if you wanted to upgrade the screen, etc.    - Steering wheel radio controls?  Nope.  Can you add them?  Yes.  NOT CHEAP.  Requires a new instrument cluster, steering wheel and wiring harness mod kit.     - Fog lights?  Nope.  And no factory path to install them.    Sierra HD SLE:   - IMO, the larger radio screen is a much better interface.   - Fog lights?  You can get them.  Steering wheel controls?  Has them.  Remote start?  Yep.  Power driver seat?  Available.       Silverado WT:   - Same as the Pro above however you CAN get factory remote start installed at the dealer for the WT Chevy.     Silverado Custom:   - Comes with 20" wheels only.  Can you swap later?  Sure.  But.  Truck is calibrated for the stock 20s (34" tire) and no path to properly recalibrate.     - Power seat?  Yes.   - Steering wheel controls?  Same as the Pro above.  No but can be done and not cheap.     Silverado LT:   - Same as the SLE.  You can get or it comes with many features you can't do on the lower trims.       I'd say its all going to come down to what you NEED and what you WANT to have that you'd benefit from.  For me, things like power seat is a must (I hate the WT/Pro seating position), so I'd have to go Custom, LT or SLE right out of the gate.  Steering wheel controls?  Should be standard in 2026 across the board IMO, so again, puts me to LT or SLE.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      I have a 1500 but the Custom trim. I bought it solely for the simplicity meaning less electronics. I also love the old school gauges. The only thing that I like about the LT better than my Custom is the front grill. Otherwise, absolutely no regrets choosing this trim.

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      By newdude · Posted

      Modifications are required.  2020-2023 the wheel well sheet metal does not have all of the fastener openings stamped for liners that the 2024-2026 dually wells have.  The liners are the right shape and everything, and the wheel well sheet metal is the same shape, its just the older trucks don't have all of the mounting points.     Here's a link to a Facebook post about doing this - https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Nqow8VNKE/
