I’ll answer this question before it’s ask. Would I sacrifice myself for normalcy? I think I answered that. I worked on pipeline ROWs for a living. Some put in the 20s. With a clearing machine the created sparks. Sometimes a inspector would come around and say if you smell an odor, bend over and kiss your as$ good by. That’s about all the time you’ll have. Then I would sometimes drive up to hundred twenty miles home. Talk about taking chances. This, nothing, what bug?

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

Looking for lite amusement during these times it’s interesting that the call for unity and the people who actually practice that. The same people who claim that everyone should be heard unless of course you disagree. Colleges are a good example. Whether you disagree with the president or not it’s fun watching him spar with the geniuses of the media. You know the ones that said he was racist for closing the boarder, now saying he’s not doing enough. Especially what proposing is right out of the democratic, Bernie playbook. Right or wrong not withstanding the pretzeling is amusing. Kinda reminds me of the movie Face-off.

Amusement part two. I may not agree with some of the things going on with this virus. I do follow the rules. It’s the right thing to do. If one of my kids were spring breaking and came home. I would let them pitch a tent next to the dog house on the deck. They would have to pretty quick though. When I put their food bowl out next the dog.

Another way to protect the elderly is to prevent their IRAs and pensions statements from being mailed in the next few months. You better start stocking up on defibrillators. Talk about damage to the cruise, airline, casinos, hotel, restaurants. The cure will be worse than the disease. Tell an older person what they fear now it ain’t the bug, it’s the cure or delay. Tell a 65 and up person it will comeback in five years they’ll say really? My daughter who cuts hair ask me. Why are all these old people still coming here? Her 64 year old father answered. We’re facing the end of things that we can do as we age. We’ve endured things much worse than a 1-5 or a 1-10 chance of dying. Going out swinging is what most of us want to do. I’m lucky I didn’t just rely on the market for my retirement. I’m not opening my monthly portfolio this month. Or looking at my condos reservations for the next month either. My biggest concern is the 50 year old business we built and the over 30 people who work there. Not to mention the scores of customers we serve. I rather take my chances on 1 percent or so getting it. This isn’t living.

"going out swinging" is what this is about.

 

So that the people that actually do get seriously ill can get a chance to do this.  It's so they can go to the hospital, and have a bed, and have a ventilator and heart monitor, and medicine, and doctors and nurses to treat them.

Don't get me wrong but iam sick and tired of the media talking about this on TV as they will tell us how many people have it and who died but not once have they reported on the amount of people who got it and came out ok not once why because all they want to report is bad news and that's it. Al the media does is create public panic and they love it.

It appears their efforts are for worse case senecio. Flatting the cure that will lengthen the duration. People will get it in waves. That’s been mentioned. Hoping for summer time slow down. Possibly a vaccine to stem the outbreak. It’s been mentioned that it’s been media driven as I expected. So will it reach normal (routine) flu levels or exceed? We will know in a few weeks. Unlike the normal flu this will ruin some people. Death is a part of life. It’s nice our government is turning to socialism for awhile, right? Can it be done again next year? Remember a bad flu year is 300K hospitalization and 60K deaths. A number I didn’t know. I’ll be more diligent in germ warfare. So there’s that. So time will tell. Patiently waiting.

I'd be more worried about a vaccine or cure.

 

HAVE YOU SEEN I AM LEGEND?!?!??

 

I dont get all the gloves. It's airborne. 

 

My wife and I both work in "essential services", so no shut down will stop us from going out daily. I have read up and listen to world leading experts and.....

 

I'm not worried at all.

Well, he did pee on the Alamo, and now he has Parkinson's.

 

So, maybe a virus from the bat, or possibly the truck loads of drugs he did over the years, I will vote undecided......

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
