Yea I guess, me and about 20million other daily listeners.

Sure he gets good ratings.  How does that relate to delivering intelligent and accurate information?

 

You're a daily listener, huh?  It's worse than I thought.

Intelligent. Let me see. I retired at 58 from a thriving family business.

Success in business and intelligence aren't the same thing right?

 

Come on, this is basic.

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

Like I said we’ll know in about a week. You got the last one wrong, shows what you know.

You lost me bro.  Not sure what you're trying to say there, but seems pretty childish.

You could watch cartoons all day and be better informed than listening to Rush just by not being exposed to his misinformation.

 

What else do you use for being "informed"?  Give us some more credible news sources so we can take what you share more seriously.

Everything, your boring me. Even libs listen to Rush. Maybe you can find a good lib radio show. Ifs that’s possible. The last cartoon I watched was the impeachment trail. You’re side lost... again. Political stuff is frowned on here. So done with you. It was fun though.

See there's the rub.  You accuse me of name-calling, but I never have.  You make all kinds of assumptions about "my side", and you denigrate "libs".  You try to paint yourself as objective because "you listen to everything", but spoil it all with comments like "your side".  You seem very invested in being on your own side, and you don't seem interested in being exposed to more credible sources.

 

Get over yourself.  People are dying from this virus, and it's still ramping up.

Only allowed to navigate for essentials through 2 counties, total about 750, 000 people.  Currently the death count in both counties is 2.  California has been in Covid 19 watch probably the longest in the country.  The numbers state wide will be low but larger cities like LA and San Francisco will increase vs spiking in the next few days (per local and regional news).  Don't care what numbers are reported and don't know if just 2 per 750,000 is good, just know 2 people are local reported facts.  The expectation of the country is, California is reporting bogus numbers.  I do know when you can get major California interstates without any traffic, the folks are doing something.  People are still out (for necessary reasons), but what I see working is shielding, distance, and wearing out the soap when you can.

Grumpy’s CV statistics are just as pointless as his MPG threads. He believes everything he reads online. And if you go against him, your an IDIOIT. He’s just old and stubborn. Don’t waste your time arguing with a 90 year old.
 

Now here is and example of accurate reporting. Let's see what we have here: 

 

Grumpy’s CV statistics are just as pointless as his MPG threads.

Let's start with some SPIN and a classic Logic Trap. Mike finds no value in MPG for himself so there is no value in CV stats for you. He thinks enough of himself to speak and think for everyone. GREAT. I was having trouble with that. I'll check with you before I speak and make sure you approve. 

 

He believes everything he reads online.

FALSE STATMENT based on FALSE ASSUMPION.  Mike you have no idea what I believe or read. BTW, another logic trap. IF your statement were true then I would believe what you believe. It's called a circular reference. 

 

And if you go against him, your an IDIOIT.

You sure it's disagreement is what makes one an idiot. ?

 

He’s just old and stubborn.

Old yes....stubborn...hum, how about convinced.  Seems your definition of stuborn is person that will not reject the truth to accept your view. Mike do you understand the difference between stubborn and convinced? 

 

Don’t waste your time arguing with a 90 year old.

The number one reason everyone should listen to you Mike. You get your facts straight before you opens your mouth. Can someone tell Mike how old I am...please. Oh and please check with Mike before you engage. He thinks he knows what's best for you. That line is an instruction, right? 

 

Ya know Mike you might have a real future in journalism. Maybe you can get a radio spot, a pod cast and 200 million listeners.

Trying to talk yourself out of a situation can make the situation even worse. Hence the saying "sometimes it's better to shut the **** up"

Guys,Guys....Guys!  Let's be honest CHINA probably has not a clue as to how many might have been infected and how many died?  All they know is....it was CRAP ton of people and deaths and we need to save face the best we can before washing our hands of this and having the WHOLE WORLD POINT TO CHINA.

 

As for my bank account?  Well, those are numbers that just can't be diced and parsed in every different flavor.....They are accurate!  I have accepted it too.....

What difference does China make right now?  We need to be worried about saving American lives not pointing fingers at China.

 

By mid-January we had it in this country.  It took two months from there before Trump took it seriously.  Our own American leadership is failing us when we need it most and you're worried about CHINA?  Please.  We need to stop trying to save face ourselves first.  Be part of the solution.

Cuomo yesterday says we’re days from the peak. Today maybe at the peak. The story is going to change even quicker than I even thought. The next couple of days I predict the models will change. Here’s hope. This of course is nothing new. We always have the sky is falling outlook. It’s human nature. I’ve live through several of the sky is falling events. I’m also a very skeptical and optimistic person. People I read or listen to tend to be right by experience and the test of time. Of course there’s bad stuff still coming. New Orleans comes to mind.

      Oil Consumption

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I have changed oil and filter for years by starting a cold engine to warm oil up, let it run 5-10 minutes depending on temperature. Drain until it starts dripping, refill with quantity from owners manual or get it close.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I changed the factory fill oil in the rear diff of my truck for the first time today and the miles is close to 9000 on the truck. There was a lot of fines on the magnet, a very thick layer but working it through my fingers it all felt like mush and as most know it appears like graphite, so no surprise chunks anyway. Certainly was time to do it from my thinking and could have been done sooner but the oil didn't look awful but sure wasn't new looking and never expected it to either. I did use some solvent to help me clean out the bottom area of the axle housing, just get any other stuff settled at the bottom washed and wiped out of the housing for the bit of effort it takes. I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 in the easy packs to try out what they are like and I used up 4 packs and didn't spill much at all in the process but did take all four of the packs and go to the work bench and emptied them into a measuring container and there certainly was some in them that added up to something, then poured that into one of the easy packs and squirted in what I could get out of it. I would say the level is within 1/8th of an inch of being level with the threads at the fill plug so just the perfect amount. Once again, more than what GM says the fill volume is but computes with what others are adding to their rear diffs as well.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      So speaking of oil consumption with my L8T as I just changed the oil yesterday and made the switch over to Amsoil SS 0W-40 from the Mobil 1  5W-30 Truck and SUV I just dropped out. 2900 miles on that oil as well as  68 hours on that oil ( so used to equipment with an hour meter and that becomes valuable information to compare with others as well ). Once again the oil use was so very little, I am going to say it dropped under 1/16 of an inch on the dipstick. No towing was done and this interval was from early spring until now.    One interesting item to note is that going by the 5 quart jugs I was using before from Mobil, it was showing that I was putting in 8 US quarts to bring it to full if not slightly over the full mark according to their jug markings. Granted I did allow more drain time this time and in part because the engine oil was only lukewarm as I started it and let it idle and not for long enough to get the oil itself hot ( the engine was up to operating temp ). The oil in that state just seemed to take forever for it to drip out but not only at the drain plug but at the oil filter housing as well, perhaps I had never quite gotten all the oil out before and I could have still waited longer but as it was I waited well over 3 hours. I think next time if I have the time I will do an experiment by dropping the oil and lets say leave the pan under it for 15 minutes, then switch to another pail and let it drip out overnight and measure how much more oil comes out. So this time and yes I ended up getting it just over the full mark as I was experimenting with trying to get the level to the add mark after I had run it and then waited some and then added a bit and waited for a certain amount of time for it to settle to the add mark. I very well may not have waited long enough for that experiment but I got to the add mark, then dumped in a full quart and waited some and checked and then waited some more and it crept up more ... and then finally oops, it was slightly over full some hours later when it really had settled all it would. I find this engine sure takes time for the last bit of oil that gets poured in to finally make its way into the crank case. I can only guess at how much too much I added as per maybe a 1/10th of a quart. I had poured in 8.5 quarts going by the quart containers as per 8 quarts and 16 us ounces. I was shocked at how much this was off compared to the prior oil changes and if those larger jugs and they are not marked accurately enough or they contain slightly more than what they say, or the drain time factor made that much of a difference. But I know on this forum there have been others who have said they have put well over 8 quarts in their L8T and now I have also going by the Amsoil true quart containers. Its a confusing convoluted mess up here in Canada with some oil manufactures packaging is in true US quarts, some is also in true US quarts containers on an even number of quarts but also marked in liters which becomes the odd ball volume of a fractional amount of liters. Then there is the Liters only containers, no US markings as its a true metric container and only measured in Liters to an even number of Liters. But remember we used to have Imperial Gallons and Imperial quarts as well !.

      Holy smokes. Clearly not a deal on that truck. I just mean in general, matte or painted trim is becoming more normative than chrome, but I know the Black Optics packages on various vehicles are being sold as uplevel trims. They look really good, but sheesh. It's just paint and plastic.

      Some Assembly is Required

      I Wouldn't Know Where to Begin    Oh I know where I would begin but I'm just one of over eight billion people on this rock. Eight billion versions of where the goal post is. How large it should be. How far to kick from. What ball is the right ball. Elevation. Age.....are you getting the point? It isn't about disagreeing with one individual. It's about agreeing only with one individual. One's self.   Agreement comes when multiple people hold the same point already. THAT is the goal of an education. Building the Social Contract. That thing that allows us to all read this sentence. We've agreed on the alphabet and how to arrange those letters into words we agree upon whose meanings hold true for everyone entering into that contract. Those words arranged into a sentence form an idea and several sentences strung together in a paragraph convey an argument for or against or inform the reader of a state, condition or perhaps reveal a things nature. Paint a word picture. Make oneself known.    This contract is not limited to words although they are often explained by words. Things like numbers and their usefulness. Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Music, Art and so on.    The frequency of middle C (C4) is 261.63 Hz is a first principle. We build on that to make music we all can enjoy even if we all can not compose or play. You don't have to master it to make it enjoyable and useful.    So why is the Beginning so difficult? Why is agreement so elusive?   Everyone "Signs" the contract (when receiving that education in obtaining it)  but fewer and fewer in this world have any intention of living by that contract. They find exploiting that contract more advantageous. Disruption. With intent. Without intent. In Ignorance. In your face. With a double dog dare you. With a hold my beer. In resistance to that contract and in spite how it looks on us. It permeates the very air we breath.    In this way the contract is subject to advantage. Abide by it when it serves you, disregard it when it doesn't. Unpredictable and self-serving. Corrosive.....Toxic........   It says a lot about a persons character to disregard the contract, the truth, first principles. None of it good.        ********************************************************   https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/character-vs-personality-who-we-are-and-who-we-aspire-to-be/   Just an interesting article.
