A politician thinks they are above the law. Shocker. Republicans have been hypocritical and downright moronic as well. Like that guy who tried to pay his mistress to have an abortion. The real problem in this country isn't right vs left. It's the elite vs the common man. The rich and powerful will do everything they can to keep their grip on this country and keep us ignorant and in the dark. Neither party cares more about the American people than they do about keeping their power over us

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

Republicans have the swamp, this is true. The shocker for me is the fracture in the Democrat partly. They were always in lock step. Power effects most people badly. No doubt.

One party has been a hell of a lot worse than the other as it pertains to the virus. Pardon the pun, but they have hypocrisy “locked down”.

I agree. The smart ones figure it out for themselves. The others make excuses or point figures. Dr Falchi just did a wing dinger yesterday. Acting like he can see the future. Getting everyone all upset again. People need to get a clue about that guy. There’s a guy who really likes power. He’s about as accurate as our local weather man.

Falchi was at it again yesterday. The president was explaining we’re turning the corner on covid. Myself a thinking person took that to mean several things. One we’re getting an understanding of the bug. Two we are better at treatment. Three we know who it effects. The doctor when asked, I don’t know what he meant. Really? A real patriot. Remember this is a man who recommended kids going to school. But he doesn’t know what turning the corner means. Oh, OK!

Then we've been turning a corner every day for the past 8 months?  The normal use of "turning a corner" means something significant/noticeable has happened recently that changed the situation.  Nothing significant has happened, particularly w.r.t. the 3 things you mentioned, anytime recently.

I think there are some significant events regarding understanding the virus.  Take this:

 

https://www.hpcwire.com/2020/07/28/supercomputer-powered-research-uncovers-signs-of-bradykinin-storm-that-may-explain-covid-19-symptoms/

 

We are certainly better at treatment as we have more targeted approaches instead of throwing everything at it (i.e. placing patients prone before placing on ventilators).

 

Regarding who it affects, the information isn't necessarily new but its gaining more research to support it.  Grumpy can put out the actual numbers but greater than 90% of deaths were over 60 and average 2.5 comorbidities.  Again, not new information but now the numbers seem to back up the early theories.

You’re being bias. Nothing changed since the beginning? We’re on the verge of a vaccine even according to the great Fauci. Yes of course we’re turning a corner. Most states that opened early aren’t experiencing anything any different than states like California. Who still are relatively locked down. Peaks and valleys. Here in my area in Texas almost normal. Schools opening, sports being played. Contrast that with California. Oh by the way there’s room their for people who want to stay locked down. It should be easy to find moving vans heading that way. The other way not so much. People are leaving in droves. Also New York.

It’s not like in the past week we learned 94% of deaths had other serious co-morbidities. We also didn’t see studies suggesting up to 90% of positive tests are in people who aren’t contagious, and thus the asymptomatic spread myth busted. There also wasn’t several studies released that showed the lockdowns to be ineffective and harmful. Oh wait, all of that happened.

 

Still hard to say we turned a corner, but only because the libs won’t allow us to turn it.

My age group is suffering the most deaths and it looks like we're catching it from the young'uns.

Thanks.  A lot.

They don't care. They aren't dying. 

Isn't that sweet of them?

Someone needs to keep the country moving and the money flowing. It’s those young guns stocking shelves and fulfilling your Amazon orders.

I'm sorry I want to live and be something in this world. I guess I will just stop my life completely so you feel better.

 

If you don't want to catch it, then keep your old self at home and far away from others. I don't have the luxury of being able to collect a pension or social security so I can't just drop everything. Somebody still has to put money into that system so others can benefit from it.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
