True, I can block it.  This won't change my comment.  After dodging IEDs, 5.56, 7.62, and rounds from grenade launchers, nah, this is not too much.
You were dodging NATO rounds?

Whose side are you on, exactly?

I could give you that answer if you start a "what wars have you been in lately" thread.

As stated above, actions have already been taken and more can be. Everyone has been good at keeping this thread on topic and it has provided a great place for people to discuss a topic that is effecting us all. However if it continues the way it's going, more vacations will be handed out and it will be locked.

China is restricting research in the origins of the bug. And when human to human transmission was discovered by its own researchers. Interesting. Not surprising.

They did more than just restrict in the very beginning.  The Chinese doctor that was the whistleblower got shafted by the gov't.  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51403795

 

Even though China has restricted research of the origins, scientists have been trying to determine if it was man made and are confident that it wasn't.  https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9

It still begs the question of why China is restricting the research.  Lots of theories but I'm not going to speculate without any evidence.

I trust a truck stop burrito more than the Chinese at this point.

Although with the toilet paper shortage that there was, I have to admit, eating one of those would have given me a bit of a rush lol

I"ll tell ya what happened they used that germ against there own people that were protesting against there government in very large crowds for weeks. Why do you think the protesting stopped almost instant? Then later we heard about the virus. Then the Chinese doctor that knew all about it came up M.I.A.

This is the real story that our own mainstream media will not dive into because it doesn't fit their narrative.

Is this your own personal theory or is this based on facts?

Interesting word Facts.

 

One definition: a thing that is known or proved to be true.

 

That can't be the one these beliefs are based on. They lack verifiable proofs.

 

Second definition: a piece of information used as evidence or as part of a report or news article. 

 

Ah, information but not necessarily the TRUTH. Only words offered as part fo a report or news article. 

 

When I was a young man, under 20, I was involved in a car accident just after noon on a Friday. On the six O'clock news I was 47, Latino, drunk, speeding on highway US30 late Thursday night. Those were the facts presented as evidence as part of a news article. The truth was I was 17, white, quite sober (just got off work 5 minutes earlier)and on 6th street something under 35 mph. Of course the truth didn't make good copy in a story where lives were lost. 

 

Christ was charged with blasphemy and tried and executed on 'facts' place in evidence as part of a report at his trial. Those facts were not the truth, were they? Under Jewish law a claim against a man needed two witnesses to verify the same event. Now we just need a good rumor and allot of hate. 

 

Facts? Not a single person here was there. What facts exactly do you have? What witnesses can be produced. You have stories. Told by the same people that told my story. Buy people with the same power the Jewish Sanhedrin had under Romanh rule over Christ. Noise, Just a bunch of frantic noise. The truth isn't what ya' all are after....is it? 

 

This thing is off the rails. :seeya:

Remember the college kids a little over a year ago at Washington DC? A Native American walking up to one of them beating his drum? Then there was the news coverage. Very slanted, miss information. That’s why I read everything. By the way the young man will never have to work.$$$$$$$

The lean today is this is more contagious than originally believed. It’s actually good news because there’s many affected with it with little to no symptoms. Herd immunity may be happening under our noses. That explains California’s lower know infection rates. Ninety percent of hospitalizations have underlying conditions. We are still at a bad flu year, while destroying our economy. Can’t wait for additional test.

    • Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO  
    • I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas. 
    • I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.
    • There's absolutely a mountain of profit in catering to the "I do my own research" crowd, people who are certain they know better. And I don't mean there isn't data to support that 0w40 produces less wear product than 0w20 in an engine like the 3.0 Duramax, that only feeds them the assurance they need. Again, my whole thing with oil selection is, sure, 0w40 or 0w30 produces less wear product. Are we talking the difference between the engine lasting only 100k versus 200k? Or are we talking more like, if the engine will already go 350k on a good 0w20 regimen recommended by the OE, is using 0w40 going to get us to 355k, assuming we can even get the rest of the truck to last that long, meanwhile sacrificing the first 5y, 100k in powertrain warranty. The answer isn't easy, there are tradeoffs.   I willfully use 0w20 Dexos D for this reason, knowing that a 0w40 will produce slightly less wear. I don't believe the delta in wear product is meaningful over the lifetime of the engine, and I place much more importance on driving style and overall feeding and care of the engine as a whole. It's the mentality that someone can abstain from alcohol their whole life which is an amazing boost to health by itself, theoretically. But if they're sedentary, that lifestyle choice will most likely kill them young despite their other, concerted efforts. Maybe someone doesn't drink AND they are the perfect picture of health and activity AND they use 0w40 AND they treat their engine perfectly. If living until 130 years is the goal, sure, do that. But it's going to be a really old truck falling apart around a good engine for that last 30 years, without a doubt.   I watched Demonworks' other video on the 100k+ 3.0 Duramax that had dealer 0w20 changes on what appears to be OLM-prescribed intervals (8-10k).   The QR codes are still present and readable on the main bearings. That's how little wear it has.   That's not proof that anyone else should stick to 0w20, but it's confirmation, for me, that 0w20 is perfectly acceptable to use in these engines.
